"Power" Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of great songs with the word  "Power" in their titles. Because sometimes power is a good thing, right? Of course, sometimes it is WAY NOT a good thing. A lot depends on who's wielding it. There's more of these coming, by the way. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Billie Eilish ~  "Your Power"




2)  Indigo Girls  ~  "Power Of Two"




3)  Patti Smith  ~  "People Have The Power"




4)  Kat Graham  ~  "Power"




5)  Marina  ~  "Power & Control"




6)  Little Mix ft. Stormzy  ~  "Power"




7)  SNAP!  ~  "The Power"




8)  Madonna  ~  "The Power Of Good-Bye"




9)  Jennifer Rush  ~  "The Power Of Love"




10)  Diana Ross  ~  "Force Behind The Power"




11)  Dusty Springfield  ~  "Love Power"




12)  Eurythmics  ~  "Power To The Meek"




13)  Tonight Alive  ~  "Power Of One"




14)  Laura Branigan ~  "The Power Of Love"  (When you hear this song, you  might be thinking, "Isn't this the same song as #9 above?" And it is, but Branigan belts it out with more soul than Jennifer Rush and maybe even more power than Celine Dion [#25 below], so all three versions are present and accounted for here. For the record, Branigan released her version 3 years after Rush but 6 years before Dion.)




15)  Gabrielle Aplin  ~  "The Power Of Love"  (No, this is not the same song as the other "Power of Love" versions, but it's a fantastic tune in its own right.)




16)  Kari Jobe  ~  "Oh The Power"




17)  Katy Perry  ~  "Power"




18)  SOKO  ~  "You Have A Power On Me"




19)  Cher  ~  "The Power"




20)  Lauren Daigle  ~  "Power To Redeem"




21)  Within Temptation  ~  "The Power Of Love"




22)  Belle and Sebastian  ~  "The Power Of Three"




23)  Olivia Newton-John  ~  "The Power Of Now"




24)  BeyoncĂ© ft. Nija, Busiswa, Yemi Alade, Tierra Whack, Moonchild Sanelly, & DJ Lag  ~  "My Power"




25)  Celine Dion  ~  "The Power Of Love"  (This is the more popular, better-known version of Jennifer Rush's song [#9 above], but Rush recorded it nine years earlier – and to great success worldwide, I might add.)
