Popular Songs Of 1996, Vol. 1

OK, now we're getting into my wheelhouse, the soundtrack of my youth. In particular, the soundtrack of my freshman year of college. So...the sentiment is strong with these songs. Therefore, this will be a four – count them, four – volume post. Carried away much? Yup. But who cares? In the mid-'90s, these songs could not have been avoided, even if you tried (and I didn't, really). So what are we waiting for? Let's go!  ~  JH

"Soft" & "Loud" Songs


The title of this post in no way indicates the loudness or softness of the songs. Rather, it indicates that each song in the collection has either the word "Soft" or "Loud" (or some derivative) in its title. In other words, it's another "Opposites" music post. Simple as that. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  The Fugees  ~  "Killing Me Softly"




2)  Hawk Nelson  ~  "Live Life Loud"




3)  Leah Dizon  ~  "Softly"  (If you can't understand the lyrics, don't worry – you're not going crazy – the whole thing's sung in Japanese!)




4)  Alpha Rev  ~  "Sing Loud"




5)  Andy Williams  ~  "Softly, As I Leave You"




6)  Underoath  ~  "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear"
