Help with school project?

Hello Eggcavers, how's it going? I've got a little favor to ask of you. Simple as it is, I'm doing a project on the book 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer', and what we're supposed to do is to focus on our childhood with some of the themes from the book (Listing in second post), the project includes, information, narrative writing, and audio/visual, but I'm only asking for help on the audio/visual, I decided I'd make an anime-related video using manga scenes and a song that tells the story based off the theme that fits to the subject and to my childhood, the problem is, I have no idea on what songs I can use for the project, so all's I'm asking for is suggestions, even though most of you have no clue about my life, just post songs that fit your life and that fits to one of the themes, you never know, I might even have a relation to that song as well!

The video I'll be making WILL be posted on Youtube for me to present to the class.

Those of you who have a Youtube account and would like credit for suggesting the song, please include your Youtube username that way you may be credited.

SONGS CONSIDERED:
Good Life by Three Days Grace (Selfishness)
Iridescent by Linkin Park (Childhood)
Love Save the Empty by Erin McCarley (Childhood)
Pretend by LIGHTS (Robin Hood)
September by Daughtry (Childhood) - @Avelaingia

@Unebra - Love Lady Gaga and her songs, but I don't think they'd fit in for me, thanks for the suggestion though! 😊

I don't know how you feel about country, but "Wild One" by Faith Hill is one of my favorites
