Song Stories

Title: Only exception

Characters: Dad, Mom, a girl, her boy

Setting: I picture her telling him all of this at his house. He lives alone in a small little house. It's raining outside and it's night time. They are sitting at the kitchen table and the only light on is the one bulb right above the table. It's a small round table and she's holding his hand with both of hers.

Plot: She starts out by telling the guy she's talking about about how she saw her mom and dad distance themselves away from each other. Her dad obviously did something to ruin their relationship and cries about what he's lost. Her mom builds a wall and doesn't allow anyone to come into her life and hurt her again. This made the girl think that love isn't real. She ends up telling him that he is the only exception.

Conflict: The conflict is that love doesn't exist. She told herself that through out her life she would be happy and content with loneliness. She finds someone and thinks she is in love. It's confusing to her, because she had never believed in love before.

Theme: The theme is love. Not sappy love, but kind of how love really is now a days..hard and a lot of the time it doesn't work out because of selfishness. It says that it can still happen though. Just because you saw a couple that didn't work out....doesn't mean you won't.





Title: Not Afraid

Character: Eminem and everybody against him and those who look up to him

Setting: I picture him just on a neighborhood street. A neighborhood that has a lot of gangs. He's walking with his head up. Nobody's going to take him down.

Plot: It's about eminem finding himself. He comes to his senses. He's ready to take a stand and start a new life. It's not a matter of changing and being all "good and nice" it's about not sitting in your s*** and doing something with your life. He is basically talking about how he has changed his life, but it's not easy and things are still fuzzy. Life won't just be clear.. it'll always have it's challenges.

Conflict: Living the right way is hard. Especially when you have a drug addiction and you have a reputation to be a certain way. Although he went to rehab and got clean, when you come out and start living real life again, not everybody is going to believe in you. Sometimes real life is harder than staying locked up and getting clean. ( I can relate)

Theme: Getting your life back on track. You're not alone. It's about being real but being the way you know you can be instead of going on with insanity.
