I know the Escapist has mass love for music, so I was hoping to use some of you're guy's knowledge to my benefit.
Anyway, those who know me know that I am not a musical man. In fact, I barely listen to it other than when I'm in the car. I have no favorite song, artist, album, or whatever. Music to me is meh.
Still, I'm trying to find some music that is similar to something I wrote. Something you could hear in the background while reading it.
The story is about a "popular" boy whom gets depressed and ends up turning to drugs. Eventually the boy begins to feel hatred for those he felt where friends and begins to sulk as a loner. At the end the boy pleads to his friends to listen to him, but they reject him because of his addiction. The boy then kills himself, and the story ends.
Anyway, can anyone provide me with a song that could be played in the background of this sad story.
Limit on swearing and explicit content. Try to pick a song conservative enough to be considered kind of school appropriate.

The saying ?never judge a book by its cover? has been so hardly beaten into public consciousness that it has become a motto for schools, understanding, and children?s cartoons for years. Most people relate the saying to a seemingly weird nerd that becomes really cool when you actually talk to him, or the misunderstood loner that smells funny but is actually a nice guy. The reality is that you should not judge anybody by what you see. Humans are complex beings with lots of emotions, and the only true way to understand them is to sit down and listen.
Chet seemed like a great kid. From an outsiders view at least. He was decent in school, had good looks, girls liked him, and he hung out with a popular group of kids. He wasn?t the most envied guy in school, but a day didn?t pass without some lonely guy wishing to be a little bit more like him.
Still, Chet felt like part of him was missing. An empty feeling that didn?t go away. He was tiered of that fake personality he put on at school to remain popular, the friends that he felt didn?t bother to know him, his everyday boring routine. As Junior year progressed, Chet feelings became worse; His constant boredom, his untrustworthy friends, and that stressful ACT. Soon enough Chet?s emotions affected his behavior. He started staying in on weekends, ignoring people he had once called friends. He missed a full week of practice, and in return was kicked off the team.
To his friends and classmates, Chet hadn?t really changed. A fake personality fallowed him to school every day and covered his true emotions. One night, Chet?s friends forced him to a party. There, Chet found a new outlet for his painful emotions. Some guy had brought drugs and Alcohol to the party. Soon enough, Chet?s friends caught on to his new found addiction, and when they called him out, Chet completely rejected them.
As Chet?s social life decreased, he became more and more hateful. He now hated the friends he believed had betrayed him, the girls who he thought mocked him, and the teachers who graded him unfairly. One day Chet was walking through the park as the sunset, the city turning to night. He saw his old best friends there. Joe and Mark, sitting on a bench chilling. When he approached them, they showed him no love. He fell to his knees and cried in front of them, begging them to listen. They just got up and left, he was pretty sure he had heard one of them call him a ?scumbag?.
The next day, the police found Chet?s body in the park. He overdosed in a suicide attempt. As the word spread around school, girls and guys alike cried for their seemingly perfect friend. Joe and Mark were dumbfounded.
Some times, the best thing you can do for someone is to just listen to them?
