Hey I got a project from school I gotta do and was wondering if any of you could offer some help. I have to find a song that talks about the meaning of life, and play the song and present the lyrics to the class and just explain the song for a couple min, and thats all the instructions we were given, so I guess it can be intrepeted anyway you want.

doesnt matter if theres swearing in the song or not just gotta be good

props son

Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons

is about life. It's really long though. (23 minutes) Excellent song though.

(Yeah, okay now I'm nagging you to listen to them.)

ya i liked the song but its a little to long for this kinda thing if you know whati mean

Since this is for school, are explicits not allowed? I have something on my mind, but it's just slipping me. I ask this cuz it's a rap song so... you get it, I'm sure.

Good luck!!

yes explicits are allowed, All I could come up with for rap are aesop rock - daylight which has a few nice lines about life but I dnno if theres enough about life in the song to call it a song about the meaning of life.

naw that just has a few lines, you'll get a shitty mark.

How about Juicy, by Biggy? That kinda is about life... Or Pac's Changes? How does it need to connect to life?

Juicy's more about Biggie's life though, and how things changed and got better for him, so it's probably too specific as it's about one person's life rather than life itself or the meaning of life......

Maybe have a root through some of Common's stuff, or Kanye's or maybe Mos Def or Talib Kweli. There's bound to be something by one of them.

The Galaxy Song - Monty Python.

Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light-years side-to-side
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick
But out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point
We go round every 200 million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth
