Help me help my daughter do her homework

[Dr. Facebook Fever]

They read some book in Lit class that included spousal abuse and then a woman looking for a new love. Monday she needs a cd with a song about both that apply to the book.

Today she had a band competition 100 miles away that kept her busy, tomorrow she has musical practice for 6 hours followed by the end of year pom banquet... so basically she has no time. Naturally she's asking me for help and to burn a couple cd's for her tomorrow. Here's what I've suggested...

Spousal abuse songs
Nickleback- Never Again (too mean)
Martina McBride- Independence Day (more about child abuse)

Woman looking for a new love
Sara Evans- No Place That Far (Doesn't fit according to her)

So my job is to find songs to fit her assignment and burn cd's tomorrow (today). I'm likely going to miss most football due to this unless I get some input. Give me what you got.

Serious suggestions are really appreciated.

Luka by Suzanne Vega is the quintessential domestic abuse song, though I'm not sure if it's about women or children.

I know it but would have never thought of it. That's why I posted this thread. Kiddo likes old music and may like that one.

That's a great song but doesn't work because it's about child abuse rather than spousal. I thought about it already. Thank you though.

I hate nickleback but there is that nickle back song also

This is a tough one, I'm guilty of listening to a lot of music simply for the music. Meaning is mostly secondary.

Wait! Wait! I've got the perfect song!

"Somewhere That's Green", sung by Ellen Green in the movie "Little Shop of Horrors". It's got both themes where her boyfriend is beating her up ("I'm dating a semi-sadist, so I've got a black eye, and my arm's in a cast") and she's wishing she could go live with her true love Seymour "in a tract house that we share, somewhere that's green".

"Never Again" was the first song I suggested. She likes it but thinks her teacher may think it's too rough.

This assignment seems easy until you get deeper into it.

Nothing wrong with that. Music is meant to make you feel. For some that's a sound. For others lyrics are more important.

Personally I think it would be a great song for impact. But she knows the assingment better than me.
