Day 17: A song with a man’s name into the title or lyrics

Patti Smith - Frederick
"kiss to kiss, breath to breath, my soul surrenders, astonished to death"
Written for her (now late) husband, you could definitely die happy having someone write this about you.

Day 17: A song with a man’s name into the title or lyrics

Pearl Jam's song "Jeremy" is based on two true stories, including the 1991 suicide of Jeremy Wade Delle, a 15-year-old boy from Richardson, Texas:
On January 8, 1991, Delle shot himself in front of his English class and teacher. Delle was described as quiet and sad by his classmates. After arriving late to class, Delle was sent to the headmaster's office to fill out a tardy slip. He returned to the classroom with a .357 Magnum revolver, walked to the front of the class, and shot himself.

I only include the story behind the song because 5 years later I would have the same english teacher for sophomore english...the students all knew the story but we never talked about it. that nothing has changed in more than 30 years is infuriating.
