"Open" & "Close" Songs

Another "Opposites" music post, you ask? Yes and no. Yes, given the fact that some of the songs with "Close" in the title refer to the word "Close" (hard "s"), meaning the opposite of "Open."  While other songs with "Close" in the title refer to the word "Close" (soft "s"), meaning the opposite of "Far." Does that make sense? Anyway, enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs About Time

So here's the thing. I wanted to post the Imagine Dragons song that's first in this list, and everything else was just fluff. But seriously, this is a good collection of songs that probably never would have come together in this exact configuration any other way, so why are we complaining? We're not? Okay, good.
