Songs About "Us"

This may or may not be the first part of yet another "Opposites" music post – knowing me, I probably will follow it up with a collection of songs about "Them." For now, though, enjoy what I think is a really good set of songs, by both well-known and lesser-known artists.  ~  JH

1)  Snow Patrol  ~  "The Planets Bend Between Us"

2)  Sophie Ellis-Bextor  ~  "Today The Sun's On Us"

3)  Joe Jackson  ~  "Breaking Us In Two"

4)  Paloma Faith  ~  "Never Tear Us Apart"

5)  Passenger  ~  "What Will Become Of Us"

6)  Fallulah  ~  "Give Us A Little Love"

7)  Macklemore & Ryan Lewis  ~  "Can't Hold Us"  (I posted the official music video of this song a mere 3 months ago [on my original blog]. But I decided to include it here because it was interesting to see such a multi-layered song performed live – usually rap songs don't sound nearly as good in person as they do when they were recorded.)

8)  Sade  ~  "Nothing Can Come Between Us"

9)  B.o.B. ft. Taylor Swift  ~  "Both Of Us"  (Interesting collaboration between two über-talented, yet very different artists.)

10)  Christina Milian  ~  "Us Against The World"

11)  Daft Punk  ~  "Something About Us"

12)  t.A.T.u.  ~  "All About Us"

13)  Will Smith  ~  "Just The Two Of Us"

14)  Within Temptation ft. Tarja  ~  "Paradise (What About Us?)"  (Two powerhouse symphonic metal female vocalists in one song? Blisteringly intense!)

15)  Angel  ~  "Us"

16)  Regina Spektor  ~  "Us"

17)  Alabama  ~  "Angels Among Us"

18)  He Is We ft. Owl City  ~  "All About Us"

19)  STRFKR ~   "Bury Us Alive"

20)  Taylor Swift  ~  "The Story Of Us"  (Yeah, another song by Taylor Swift in the same post. What's your point? I like her, so what?)

21)  Joy Division  ~  "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

22)  Kelly Clarkson  ~  "People Like Us"

23)  Elvis Costello & The Roots  ~  "Walk Us Uptown"

24)  Joan Osborne  ~  "One Of Us"  (I have some issues with this song lyrically, but it's a surefire classic from the mid-'90s that belongs in this collection.)

25)  Keith Urban ft. Miranda Lambert  ~  "We Were Us"
