Louis Zamperini’s Soundtrack

I decided to make a playlist for Louis Zamperini’s life. Not necessarily of the type of music that I picture him listening to, but more so the type of music that describes his life and everything he went through. The majority of the songs are about surviving, and Louis’ immense strength which amazed me as I read Laura Hillenbrand’s novel “Unbroken”. There are a few songs in there that don’t fit this criteria, but fit something else. For example, “Where Is the Love”, “Another One Bites the Dust”, and “Only the Good Die Young” are more about how many people in Louis’ life died. So many POWs died throughout this, and Louis lost so many people that he was close to and that helped him survive. “Born in the USA” I included because it reminds me of how happy the US men in POW camps were when they found out that they won the war. They were waving an American Flag around and saluting to it, and I think this song perfectly encapsulates that. Overall, making this playlist was a fun way of reminding myself of what happened throughout the novel.
