Songs About Trying

Okay, so this one might be my best effort yet – between picking songs that I actually liked personally, adding good ones that I discovered along the way, and including ones that I thought you, dear readers, might suggest if I missed them. Inevitably, I will have missed a handful of good ones, and I still welcome your retroactive suggestions, but I'm pretty proud of this collection. Enjoy!  ~  JH
