Brave New World?

[Atrum Incendia]

To anyone that's read Brave New World, or knows about the concept in it, can you recommend any songs where the lyrics reflect the society/beliefs of Brave New World?

Any other suggestions? "Brave New World" from an album "Brave New World" is a bit too...blatant. I'll probably be accused of googling "songs about Brave New World" or something :p

What is this for? If this is for a class or something, having others do research for you is pretty unethical. Even if it's not for a class, any time someone would have a problem with you googling it, they'd certainly have a problem with you using the RB forums too.

So in short, if you shouldn't be googling it, you probably shouldn't be asking here either.

It's not research, I just need to find a song that references Brave New World and also one that completely opposes the idea, and I know that people here with a diverse song experience will probably return better results than just googling brave new world songs.

I was mostly going off your comment that you'd "probably be accused of googling...". If it's not for school research, it isn't unethical to ask here, but you'll certainly get just as much crap from this accuser as you would if you googled it. Just pointing that out. ;)

Also, to be clear, the song does not have to explicitly be about Brave New World, just similar in concept

I read Brave New World! I don't think I read all of it, but it was pretty good. What about the "Perfect Drug" by NIN? Perfect drug could be compared to soma; the drug of choice (or non choice) in the book.

Hope that helps.

Wait, are we doing your homework for you?

Try some of the "Who's Next" songs. The original concept for the album was a world where people were kept in their homes and interacted only through a computer system freakishly similar to the modern Internet. The story was about someone trying to break away from this and discover the meaning of life, which turns out to be a musical note. "Going Mobile" and "Pure and Easy" are pretty much the only surviving part of the story, but you could probably pull something off with "Won't Get Fooled Again".

This will also score you bonus points if your teacher is in their 50s.
