"Lost" Songs

And...I'm back to doing "Opposites" music posts again. There were too many relevant "Lost" and "Found" songs to fit into one post, so this will be a two-parter. Obviously, the second installment will be "Found" songs. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Days Of The Week Songs

Here we have a collection of songs with the days of the week in their titles. Consider yourself lucky, dear Reader/Listener. I originally considered making individual posts for each day of the week – with 10 or so songs for each day – and posting them on the actual days that the songs covered. But that seemed excessive, and I lost interest in searching that long and hard anyway. So I ended up doing just two songs for each day of the week. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  U2  ~  "Sunday Bloody Sunday"




2)  No Doubt  ~  "Sunday Morning"





3)  The Bangles  ~  "Manic Monday"







4)  Carpenters  ~  "Rainy Days And Mondays"







5)  Lynyrd Skynyrd  ~  "Tuesday's Gone"






6)  The Rolling Stones  ~  "Ruby Tuesday"





7)  Crash Kings  ~  "It's Only Wednesday"







8)  Lisa Loeb  ~  "Waiting For Wednesday"





9)  Matt Costa  ~  "Sweet Thursday"







10)  Asobi Seksu  ~  "Thursday"





11)  Eric Paslay  ~  "Friday Night"





12)  The Cure  ~  "Friday I'm In Love"





13)  Steam Powered Giraffe  ~  "Me And My Baby (Saturday Night)"





14)  Chicago  ~  "Saturday In The Park"

"Wild" Songs

Here's an interesting collection of songs united only by the fact that their titles contain the word "Wild." No, this is not an "Opposites" post, so don't be expecting a "Tame" songs collection to follow. As usual (for me), a variety of genres are represented here including indie rock (aka hipster music), metal, oldies, country, rap, and just plain rock. Enjoy!  ~  JH
