Just something I thought about...

I think if we had to do a cd for this book, this song would be a good one to use.

The Classic Crime:
Far From Home

I’ve got a bad taste in me
It’s like I’ve been robbed of something
I once was in my childhood memories
And it’s buried in sandboxes back where we used to see
The dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names

We are so
Far from home
Far from home

I’ve got a bad pain in my heart
It’s like the first time that I looked in your eyes
The first time it all fall apart
And it’s buried in sandboxes back where we used to see
The dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names

We are so
Far from home
Far from home
[x2]

All I have is words
To which I’m a slave
I scribble them down
Hoping to save me
But I’m lost
I’m so lost

These pages will burn
And I’ll pass away
Yesterday’s gone
And I just can’t shake
The fact that I’m lost
I’m so lost

But now we are so far from home
Far from home

Now we are so far from home
Far from home
[x5]


It is really similar to what something Holden might say. He practically lost his childhood after Allie dies, and he wishes that it could come back...

  2. What a perfect connection to Holden Caulfield! It just goes to show the universe nature of Holden's thoughts. "Holden Caulfield Syndrome" is what it's called today I believe...
