      A song that relates to our theme about Family and Belonging is "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars. This song is basically stating different circumstances where you might need a family or friend and every time you may need someone to be there for you, they'll be there no matter the situation. This song came out on September 5, 2011. My favorite parts about this song is when it says, "You can count on me like one, two, three... I'll be there."  I like this part because it is basically saying that as easy it is to count up to three, it'll be just as easy to have someone there for you in hard times. 

   This song pertains to Behold The Dreamers due to the Jonga family. They went through hard times, for example, the years they were apart and Jende had to make a living by himself in America, he still supported his family even though they were back in Cameroon. Although he was across the world he didn't forget about them and eventually brought them over. Also when Jende lost his job, Neni stood up to Cindy because of it due to the fact that Jende appeared to be depressed and they didn't have as much money. As a result, Cindy gave Neni $10,000 and that fixed their money problem temporarily. This just goes to show that the Jongas will be there for each other no matter the situation. They'll always have someone in times of need.
