Songs And Artists With Books Of The Bible In Their Names, Vol. 2

In case you missed it, this is part two of a three-part miniseries, featuring songs and artists with books of the Bible in their names. Last time, I covered Genesis through Song of Solomon. So we'll pick up this time with the book of Isaiah and go forward through the book of Acts. As I mentioned before, it's pretty difficult to track down a song or artist for all 66 books in the Bible. But I've given it my best effort, and these are what I came up with. Again, not all the songs/artists in this collection are specifically Christian groups. In fact, it's likely that there's more of them that are not than are. But I found what I could find, and that's all I can do. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Derek Levendusky & Isaiah Six  ~  "I Will Go"




2)  Jonathan Jeremiah  ~  "Gold Dust"




3)  S.O.  ~  "Lamentations"




4)  Ezekiel Ox And The Fury  ~  "We'll Never Know"




5)  Daniel Merriweather  ~  "Red"




6)  Hosea Hargrove And The RoadRunners  ~  "Woke Up This Morning"

10)  Chasing Jonah  ~  "Run"  (WOW, that voice!)




11)  Micah Stampley  ~  "Never Let You Go"




12)  Nahum Corona  ~  "The Prophet's Presage (Nineveh's Fall)"  (Beautiful jazz instrumental)




13)  Habakkuk  ~  "Thank You Lord"  (These Zambian brothers – no, really, I think they're actually brothers – can harmonize like nobody's business!)




14)  Benjamin Zephaniah  ~  "Rong Radio"




15)  Haggai Cohen Milo Quartet  ~  "For You"  (Another excellent jazz instrumental)




16)  Zechariah Lloyd  ~  "A Change Is Coming"




17)  Carolyn Malachi  ~  "Beautiful Dreamer"




18)  Matthew Sweet  ~  "Sick Of Myself"




19)  Mark Salling  ~  "Illusions"  (Yes, that's "Puck" from GLEE)





20)  Luke Bryan  ~  "Do I"




21)  John Mayer  ~  "Daughters"




22)  Frightened Rabbit  ~  "Acts Of Man"

Songs About Princes, Princesses, Kings, & Queens

This is another one of those I-heard-a-song-on-the-radio-that-I-really-liked-and-wanted-to-find-a-way-to-fit-it-into-a-music-post kind of posts. It turned out to be a good idea, as I was able to find a good number of songs about not only princes (the first song in this list inspired the post), but princesses, kings, and queens as well. One of these was actually the theme song of a TV show, and two of them are from Disney animated movies. The rest are from...wherever. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Spin Doctors  ~  "Two Princes"



2)  Queen  ~  "Princes Of The Universe"  (If I were including artists with "royalty" names, this would be a two-for-one!)



3)  DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince  ~  "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air"



4)  Aladdin Cast  ~  "Prince Ali"



5)  Adriana Caselotti (as Snow White)  ~  "Someday My Prince Will Come"
