Memoir

Each of us has a song (or songs) that we hold dear. Maybe it's the song that played during your father-daughter dance, the music in the background while you had your first kiss, or your friend group's go-to party tunes. These songs can come in any language, happen in any situation, and be significant in big or small ways. The important thing is that they are noteworthy to your life.

For your memoir, explore the relevance of three songs* that have been impactful to you. For this essay, you might recall an important time or situation in which a particular tune played, explore the personal significance of a song's lyrics, or illustrate a piece's impact on your life. The structure is your choice, but allow for enough space to adequately explore each song. Also, use no outside research. 

*You are responsible for sourcing the lyrics for your songs. It is recommended you find more than one source per song as online lyrics are notoriously inaccurate. Additionally, you should credit the lyricist—which may or may not be the singer—for the words. Cite the songwriter as follows:

 

Lennon, John. Lyrics to “Imagine.” Performed by John Lennon, Ascot Sound Studios, 1971.  Accessed September 17, 2024. https://play.spotify.com/344gCuhG4bRPI9bb02f?
