I am reading the book Tuesdays with Morrie and need songs that relate to that book with explanations.

You will want songs that match up with the way the book is organized.  And, remember, you will want songs that Morrie used to dance to in the 1970s when he attending those Friday Nights at Brandeis.

Here are the chapter titles with corresponding songs that might match up:

• "The Curriculum; The Syllabus; The Student; The Audiovisual; The Orientation; The Classroom": Here, I would go with "My Back Pages" by The Byrds
