For Belonging, my English teacher says that it inadvisable to do a song, as they are rarely done well. Try something like a film or novel, you can pretty much relate belonging to anything these days.

Here is a website of Belonging related texts:

Good luck!

Forrest Gump would be good for belonging as well.
Compare Forrest's easy connection with other people despite his slowness of mind with Jenny who is of at least normal intelligence but spends most of her life trying to find a sense of identity.

Also, Far and Away - josephs belonging changes from dependence on connection to land to connection with other people ie Shannon. (Ignore Tom cruise's terrible irish accent)

You could do Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone (film) for belonging.

Harry doesn't belong in the "real" world. It's not until he goes to hogworts that he feels he's at home. "i'm not going home, not really" - is said by harry at the end of the film when hes going back to live with the durselys.

(theres lots of other shit to talk about to, like his griffendor house, quidditch, etc)

But only do HP if you can talk about it well!
