Hey, I didn't know where to put this topic... I even argued with my sister on where to put it lol. Please move it if it's in the wrong section ^^".

I have to find three different songs that have to do with three of the four topics:
1) Intimate Relationships or Marriage
2) Parent-Child Relationship
3) Leaving Home, Becoming an Adult, Young Adult
4) Individuals and Families

Can anyone suggest any songs that relate to them? I have some songs in mind, but I want to pick the best song that can actually relate to these topics. It can be in any language, I will try to find translations after. Thank you so much.

When I saw Parent-Child relationships, I immediately thought of Eminem's "When I'm Gone" (which is really unusual for me because I don't usually listen to rap). But I think it can also apply to category 4 also...

[xstarBURST]

1) Intimate Relationships or Marriage
Chris Brown- With you
Police and Sting -> Every breath you take
98 degress - this i promise you (or was it Nsync?)
Kc and Jo Jo - All my life

2) Parent-Child Relationship
Madonna/ Kelly Osborne - Pappa don't preach
Michael Jackson - Billy Jean

3) Leaving Home, Becoming an Adult, Young Adult

that's all i can think of, I'm pretty sure a lot of the oldies would fall under this theme.

4) Individuals and Families
Mariah Carey's Bye bye -> that's kind of like missing an individual that passed away

Parent-Child Relationships:

Smilez & Southstar - Dear Dad
Everclear - Father of Mine
Nas - Dance
Lindsay Lohan - Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)
Swingz (스윙즈) - Dear 엄마

1) Intimate Relationships or Marriage
"I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz

Lyrics:
Well you dawned on me and you bet I felt it
i tried to be chill but you so hot that i melted
i fell right through the cracks and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my bestest
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
i reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

but i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait i'm yours

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
i like peaceful melodies
it's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

oh i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

i've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so i drew a new face and laughed
i guess what i'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

and i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait (this is our fate), i'm yours

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find the love love love love
listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
i love one big family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved, love
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find the love love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance with me
i like peaceful melodies
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

so please don't complicate no more, no more
this is our fate, i'm sure
so don't, please don't hesitate, the sky is yours
this is your fate, i'm yours

2) Parent-Child Relationship
"Mockingbird" - Eminem

Lyrics:
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me

Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[Chorus]
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alrite
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, i told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But i promise momma's gon' be alright

It's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
And you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[Chorus]
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alrite
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, i told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But i promise momma's gon' be alright

And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fu/ck with dad (haha)

3) Leaving Home, Becoming an Adult, Young Adult
"Mother Mother" - The Veronicas

Lyrics:
Mother mother
Can you hear me
I'm just calling to say hello
How's the weather
How's my father
Am I lonely heavens no
Mother mother
Are you listening
Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect
Never better
Distance making the heart grow blind

When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt

I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine

I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine

Yeah, I'm working
Making money
I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it
Around the corner
I could make it any day

Mother mother
Can you hear me
Yeah I'm sober sure I'm sane
Life is perfect
Never better
Still your daughter still the same

If I tell you what you want to hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight

I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine

I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine

I miss you
I love you
