Six Songs That Define The World

The six songs that define the world are songs about: Friendship, Joy, Comfort, Knowledge, Religion, and Love.

Friendship:
Vegas
All Time Low

This song is about friendship because the narrator is not only repeatedly mentioning his friends, the whole song is the narrator reminicing about the good times and experience that he had with his friends.

Joy:
My Beautiful Rescue
This Providence

My Beautiful Rescue is a song about joy because the narrator saying that he is falling more in love with someone and is dancing on the tops of buildings because he found this person. The band This Providence has said that this song is about finding God and how over-joyed they were to find him.

Comfort:
Hammers and Strings (Lullaby)
Jack's Mannequin

This song is clearly about comfort because it is a narrative about Andy (the lead sing of Jack's Manequin) getting contacted by an old friend that is have a lot of issues in her life and she asks him to "write [her] a song, give [her] something to trust" basically asking him for the only comfort that he can provide for her.

Knowledge:
ABCs
K'naan

The song ABCs by K'naan is a song about knowledge because he saying that in the place where he grew up, which is Somalia, no one bothered to try and teach the poor childern how to read, write, or anything else besides use guns because that was the norm.

Religion:
Sacreligious
nevershoutnever

Sacreligious by nevershoutnever is definately a song about reliion for the mere fact that it mentions Jesus. But, it is a different take on Christianity, saying that the church is not excepting so the narrator leaves te church in search of his own truth because Jesus loved everyone and the church was not following his example.

Love:
ican'tstandit
nevershoutnever

THis song is about love because the narrator is basically giving a stream of conciousness about how much he loves his girlfriend and how she is the only one he has and ever will want. He says that he will do anything just to prove to her that he is worthy of her.
