"Social" / "Distance" Songs

We've been told that social distancing is something we should be practicing during this pandemic. I propose that while we do so, we should listen to a bunch of songs bearing either the word "Social" or "Distance" in their titles (nobody writes songs with "Distancing" in the title). I did, and I enjoyed them. I think you will as well!  ~  JH

Songs About The Wind, Vol. 1

Of all the themes I've featured in my 6+ years as a music blogger, I've never done this one. Which is surprising, considering I live in an incredibly hurricane-prone part of the country and strong winds are annually on my mind (as they are currently, for obvious reasons). So when I finally got around to it, I realized there were tons of good songs that qualified. So this will be part 1 of (at least) 2. Assuming you (and I) don't blow away in this storm, I'm sure you will...enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Patrick Swayze ft. Wendy Fraser  ~  "She's Like The Wind"

2)  Vanessa Williams  ~  "Colors Of The Wind"

3)  Kansas  ~  "Dust In The Wind"

6)  Bette Midler  ~  "Wind Beneath My Wings"

7)  David Bowie  ~  "Wild Is The Wind"

8)  Paula Abdul  ~  "Blowing Kisses In The Wind"

9)  Christopher Cross  ~  "Ride Like The Wind"

10)  Becky Hill  ~  "Caution To The Wind"

11)  Bob Dylan  ~  "Idiot Wind"  (You can, in fact, have too much Bob Dylan in one day. But two songs is probably not going to kill you.)

12)  Jefferson Starship  ~  "Winds Of Change"

13)  Rod Stewart & Ron Wood  ~  "Mandolin Wind"
