Here's the cover of the Cd and the descriptions:
1) IT AIN’T A SCENE, IT’S AN ARMS RACE- FALL OUT BOYS
THIS SONG REFERS TO THE ARMS-RACE/ WAR GOING ON IN FAREWELL TO ARMS. AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, THE WAR ISN’T A SCENE FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY, THERE IS DEATH, BLOOD, AND FIGHTING.
2) WE WILL ROCK YOU/ WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS- QUEEN
THIS SONG REFERS TO THE FIGHTING AND BRAVERY IN THE WAR, WHICH IS PORTRAYED THROUGHOUT THE NOVEL. IN THE LYRICS: “THERE’S BLOOD ON YOUR FACE, BIG DISGRACE…,” SUGGESTS THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE WAR.
3) MY HEART WILL GO ON- CELINE DION
THE SONG REPRESENTS HOW WILLINGLY LT. HENRY WAS ABLE TO GO ON EVEN WITHOUT HIS BELOVED CATHERINE.
4) MR. LONELY- AKON
MR. LONELY REPRESENTS LT. HENRY’S LONLINESS WHEN CATHERINE LEFT HIM. (PASSED AWAY)
5) I WANT YOU- LLOYD FT. LIL’ WAYNE
MOVING TOWARDS THE RAP GENRE, LLOYD’S “I WANT YOU” SPEAKS OF A MAN’S LOVE OR LUST TOWARDS A WOMAN. HE EXPRESSES HIS DISIRE TO LOVE A GIRL. HE SAYS “STOP, WAIT A MIN. THE WAY YOU MOVE THAT GIRL YOU DONE GOT MY HEART ALL IN IT AND I WANNA’ BE W/ U TONIGHT. GIRL, PLEASE, I’M A PLAYA’ YEAH IT’S TRUE, BUT I CHANGED THE GAME FOR YOU.” WHEN HENRY FIRST MET CATHERINE, HE FRANKLY JUST WANTED TO GET IN HER PANTS. HOWEVER, AS THE STORY PROGRESSED, HE FELL IN LOVE AND DID EVENTUALLY “TAP THAT.”
6) EVERYTIME WE TOUCH- CASCADA
THIS SONG EMPHASIZES THE SKINSHIP THAT LOVES HAS. IT EMPHASIZES THAT A SIMPLE HAND HOLDING FEELS LIKE IN HEAVEN AND FEELS MAGICAL. LIKE FOR CATHERINE AND LT. HENRY.
7) IT ENDS TONIGHT- THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS
A MORE MODERN ROCK SONG, TELLS THE STORY OF THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP. IT SAYS, “WHEN DARKNESS TURNS TO LIGHT, IT ENDS TONIGHT.” WHILE THE SONG SPEAKS OF A BREAKUP, THESE WORDS APPLY DIRECTLY TO LT. HENRY’S STORY. HIS WIFE DIED IN CHILDBIRTH, AND HIS BABY DIED SHORTLY AFTER, SO FOR HIM, IT ENDED THAT NIGHT.
8) HOW TO SAVE A LIFE- THE FRAY
THIS TELLS THE STORY OF SOMEONE LOSING THEIR FRIEND AND THINKING THEY COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HENRY LOSES MANY FRIENDS THROUGHOUT THE STORY, INCLUDING PASSINI, BONELLO, PIANI, AND GIORDINI.
9) UNDER PRESSURE- QUEEN
THIS IS A CLASSIC QUEEN SONG THAT SPEAKS TO MOST PEOPLE IN AMERICA. LT. HENRY WAS FEELING A LOT OF PRESSURE, BEING IN WW1 AND TRYING TO FIND LOVE.
10) BACK IN BLACK- AC/DC
THIS SONGS TELL OF A TRIUMPHANT RETURN. THIS APPLIES TO LT. HENRY’S RETURN TO THE FRONT, HE WAS AWAY FOR A FEW MONTHS DUE TO HIS INJURIES, BUT HE CAME BACK AND TOOK PART IN THE ACTION.
