“Angry” Songs

These songs are not happy. In fact, they're ANGRY! Okay, I'm embellishing a bit. Songs cannot experience emotions. But they certainly can convey them. And these tunes are all about anger. Well, mostly. Some of the anger is purely metaphorical. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Matchbox Twenty  ~  “Angry”

2)  James Taylor  ~  “Angry Blues / The Twist”  (I can’t even remotely figure out how these two songs relate to each other, or why Taylor would play them back to back. But it’s actually kind of awesome!)

"32" Songs

As of today, my wife is 32 weeks pregnant with our daughter. So here's a collection of songs with the number "32" (or "Thirty-Two") in their titles or somewhere in their lyrics. I've finally reached the point where I can no longer find enough suitable songs to match the number of weeks, and that's okay. That I made it this far is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!  ~  JH
