The Road Soundtrack

I think that the song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers would be a great addition to The Road Soundtrack because it is sad and depressing and is talking about similar occurences in the lyrics that are also in the book. Such as when in the song says "Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on" Which could go well with the quote in the book when it says "Papa? the boy said. Papa? Shh. It's okay...the boy clung to him crying, buried against his chest. Shh. It's all right" (27-28). The quote and the lyrics are very similar in meaning because they are both talking about someone needing comfort from another and the other provides it. When the song says lean on me it is almost exactly the same as the boy being buried in the dad's chest. In conclusion, this song will go great with this quote and the book because they are both depressing and talking of the same thing.
