Dear Hannah,
You can make a whole new song - that speaks to our present-day plight - out of song & movie titles from albums & CDs that you have "sitting in the crates".
Let's give it a try ...

"Sing A Song" (Rhyme-In-Time Demo)
By Derrick Brown
12-19-2016
12 years a slave
but now I'm free
gotta believe in
the mystery
'cause history
will teach us nothin'
'cause y'all always
wanna be startin' somethin'
c - i'm not fooled
so easily
but uhh ... err uhhh ...
don't believe the hype
they still foolin' us
here i go again
retoolin' us
this masquerade
is rulin' us
that same old song
is schoolin' us
better shop around
for a new deal
higher ground
can-i-get-a refill?
be still
my beating heart
because
i can't go for that
no can do
can't stand the rain
joy and pain
back
jack
do it again
don't know much
but i know that ...
ain't nobody
come together
fight the power
for the longest time
don't stop believin'
give me the reason
fly like an eagle
against the wind
change the world
and never stop
respect yourself
keep risin' to the top
when the world
is running down,
you make the best
of what's still around
'cause we are spirits
in the material world
and spirit boy
don't need material girl
message in a
bottle yea
you are not alone
at being alone
get up, stand up
do the right thing
no waiting
comtemplating
hangin' on a string
wrapped around your finger
if i ruled the world
i can only imagine
one nation under a groove
with a mothership connection
knee deep
in chocolate city revolution
resolution
on and on
from my window seat
flying high in the
friendly skies
it's gonna take a miracle
but faithfully
I heard it
through the grapevine
that we don't need
another hero
in the midnight hour
for the love of money
got us goin' in circles
got to give it up, y'all
when a stubborn
kind of fella
realizes that he's
a trouble man
a change is gonna come
have you ever
seen the rain?
well here comes
the rain again
purple rain
i'll be doggone
ain't that peculiar
history will teach (us nothing)
... but mistakes will
oops - i did it again
oops upside ya head
what a fool believes
is that pigs fly
when doves cry
and that smooth operators
don't know much
... and don't need to
you don't know my name
or the other side of the game
but lessons learned
break every chain
chain of fools ...
Love,
Daddy
Daddy
