Have a paper on this and cannot think of any good songs that incorporate:

Nature
Individualism
The Supernatrual
etc....

I can't think of anything and I don't want to do The Beatles like everyone else is doing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dollypop?

Does it have to be songs with words or can it be an instrumental?

The lyrics are the important aspect of this project.

The first thing that popped into my head was "Your Song" by Elton John -- certainly individualism and nature are prominent themes, not so sure about 'supernatural' but the words have always struck me as a prayer of sorts...

****

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

How about this:

LET THERE BE LOVE by Oasis


Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love
Let there be love

I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams

Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

Come on Baby Blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you don't let go it's gonna pass you by

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love
Let there be love

I was gonna say It's Raining Men and be all bitchy, bit I like you too much Fab, so here are few really good songs:

At Last-Etta James
The Rose-Bette Midler

And if you're feeling adventurous try:

Make A Little Love-Alex Chilton

UNEXPECTED SONG by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I don't know what's going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bare to lose me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing!

The Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha. And maybe the theme from Camelot.

Another one - The Sounds of Silence - kind of like one of Poe's eerie visions and definitely a theme of individuality. Come to think of it, there's tons of classic 70's rock lyrics reflecting exactly those themes - throw in the drugs and you've got Poe as well. (Wonder if Jim Morrison was the reincarnation of Poe? Both of them would like that idea.)
