The Road Soundtrack

I think a good addition to the Road soundtrack would be “You can’t always get what you want” by the Rolling Stones because it kind of tells the story of the man and little boy. Also the tone kind of fits the one in the story and makes it sad because the man and boy just want to live in peace but can not because of the post-apocalyptic world. A Quote from the song is “you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need”. I believe that is very true and that they are not getting what they want but that they are getting what they need to survive pretty much. A quote from the book is when “He went through the plywood lockers overhead but they were empty. There were drawers under the bunk and he pulled them out and looked through the trash”. This describes that they are trying to find things that possibly need or just things they might want. I think that “You can’t always get want you want” by the Rolling Stones would be a great addition to the soundtrack cause it goes with the book very well.

i have to say I don't think that this song would fit in well although the lyrics are right, the tone of this song is to cheerful
