Sound Track for Hunger

How Far Is Heaven- Kitty Wells

This song is about how a kid is missing her parents and she wonders how far away heaven is and when she will be able to get back to her parents because she misses them so much. This song relates to Hunger  because the kids are in a giant bubble and they don’t know how far away or where there parents are so they want to know how to get to them.

Oh Very Young- Cat Stevens

                This song is about how a little kid passed away and left his/her parents alone to grieve her death. This song is the opposite of Hunger because the parents left and the kids were left behind to grieve the loss of their parents. When the parents leave all the kids they will never be able to back and find there parents.

The Living Years- Mike and the Mechanics

                 This song is about a guy missing his father because he has passed away and the guy never got the chance to say all the things that he had wanted to say. Also the guy is regretting not leaving things complete with his parent because he left so unexpectedly. This directly relates to Hunger because Sam was mad at his mom for not always being there when he needed her but now that she is gone he misses her and regrets ever being mad at her.

Gravedigger- Willie Nelson

                This song offers a different perspective on dying, the author says Gravedigger - When you dig my grave- Could you make it shallow-So that I can feel the rain- Gravedigger. By having this in there it shows that the dead can still watch over you and protect you. This song relates to Hunger because the kids are dying from starvation and are being buried in shallow graves.
