"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 With "Wait" In The Title

So, I was going to make this post a collection of "Wait" and "See" songs. But then I found too many "Wait" songs that I wanted to use, and so it became necessary to break this idea up into two separate posts. Not nearly as effective or clever, I know, but then again it wasn't really an "Opposites" post to begin with, so I can kinda make up the "rules" as I go, can't I? Nevertheless, enjoy!  ~  JH
