Sorry if you don't like country music. . .
Kenny Chesney has a great song called "Hemingway's Whiskey" (the title track of the album) in which he talks about Hemingway using the same vague style that the author uses in his writing. You can listen to it here and below I have put the lyrics. In an interview, Kenny talks about how he has read many of Hemingway's books mentions that he is one of his favorite writers. He talks about Hemingway's characters and how they have to deal with real life experiences, especially the difficult ones.
Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey
Ah, it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
Living one word to the next, one line at a time
There's more to life than whiskey, there's more to words than rhyme
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines
Like Hemingway's whiskey
Sail away, sail away, three sheets to the wind
Live hard, die hard, this one's for him
Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
I liked this song, I like how it says how even when things go wrong it will always end up being alright. At least thats what i picked up from listening to it.
