The song I chose is not based off of a book, it is based off a screenplay. Which is still a piece of literature. It was written specifically for the 1966 movie, “Django”. The song's title is just “Django”. It was written by Luis Bacalov and performed by Rocky Roberts. Since it was written for a movie, it is not part of an album.

You may be sad but remember that love will pass away.” When it said “love will pass away” it is referring to love dying. Love is a feeling, it can go away, like anything. Though it cannot, in fact, die. Dying is only applicable to living things. A thing love is not. For that reason, it is giving human traits to a nonliving thing. Which is a form of
