What Parents Need to Know
About No Line on the Horizon
Parents need to know that this album is a mostly upbeat collection of songs that discuss the current state of the world and what people can do to affect change. Many of the songs tell grim stories from a first-person perspective, like a soldier dying. Teens should appreciate the technology references and the timely lyrics.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about using first-person narrators in music. Maybe you're dealing with this subject in English class, but how do musicians and songwriters use different characters to narrate songs? Do you think this enables artists to say things they wouldn't say, if they can speak through a character and get away with it? Can you think of some singer/songwriters who regularly use the first-person narrative in a song? Can you trust what the character's lyrics are or might they be biased by the narrator's perspective?
