"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World has been around seemingly forever- but have you listened to the lyrics lately? They represent the transcendental beliefs to a tee. The first notable line is "Just try your best, try everything you can. And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away," which correlates with the belief that one shouldn't care about what other people are saying as long as they are doing what they believe is right and best for them. The other great line from this song is "Yeah, just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else." The reasoning why that line is particularly awesome is because transcendentalists typically believe in living simply and how they want to live, no matter what other people think.
