“For” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a four-part miniseries featuring songs with the words "For" and/or "Against" in their titles. Since "For" is such a common word, my criteria for choosing these songs was that the title of the song had to begin with the word "For." I tried to do the same with the "Against" songs, but found that method too limiting, instead including songs with the word anywhere in their titles. Here's the first half of the "For" songs, and I do hope you enjoy!  ~  JH
