Songs About Holding On And Letting Go

And we're back, with a fresh batch of "Opposites" songs. Today, we're offering a vast selection of songs in a variety of genres linked only by the fact that they have either "Hold On" or "Let Go" (or some derivative of the two) in their titles. Enjoy! (That wasn't a request.)  ~  JH

Songs By Bands With Numbers In Their Names

My earlier post today included a song by Maroon 5, which got me thinking...how many bands with numbers in their names are out there putting out good music? As it turns out, there were quite a few. Here's just a sampling of what I found, in ascending chronological order...

5)  Ben Folds Five  ~  "Brick"




6)  Eve 6  ~  "Inside Out"




7)  Seven Mary Three  ~  "Cumbersome"  (Two different numbers in one band name – nifty!)




8)  Hot 8 Brass Band  ~  "Ghost Town"




9)  Nine Inch Nails  ~  "We're In This Together"




10)  10CC  ~  "I'm Not In Love"  (Wait, this song again? Apparently so.)



11)  Matchbox Twenty  ~  "3AM"




12)  30 Seconds To Mars  ~  "Closer To The Edge"




13)  38 Special  ~  "Caught Up In You"
