Song Stories

House of Cards - Issac Russell
lyrics here

Plot: It first talks about how his family is falling about and about his dad "won't stop drinking" and his mom "stop cheating". So he goes on to say that theres nothing he can do but just sit and watch his family fall apart and how no one ever takes responsibility for what it going on. And then he goes on to talk about how he "won't stop drinking" and his wife "won't stop cheating".

Characters: Mom , Dad, the family, him and her

Conflict: there are two conflicts 1. his dad won't stop drinking 2. his mom won't stop cheating

Theme: there's a line that says "one in ten can't save us from the sad stastic that we've become" I think he's just saying that families are falling apart everyday

Setting: home


Letter to Me - Brad Paisley
lyrics here

Plot: He's writing a letter to himself about all the things he should do and all the things he should just forget about because he knows life gets better.

Characters: Older Brad, Younger Brad

Conflict: I think the whole song in general would be considered a conflict because no matter how much we want to send that letter there's just no way to tell ourselves we just have to try to live our lifes right the first time.

Theme: When you look back on your life you see all the stupid things that you did and all the things that made you who you are.

Setting: Past and Present
