"Flesh" & "Blood" Songs

You may or may not have noticed, but this will be the third post in just over a week featuring songs with "Blood" and some other word (or words) in their titles. That's because when I research for songs that fit a certain "theme," I am very thorough in so doing. And there are a heckuva lot of good songs with the word "Blood" in their titles. Thus the "Blood" and "Guts" post, then the "Blood," "Sweat," and "Tears" post, and now these "Flesh" and "Blood" songs. There won't be any more "Blood" songs for awhile. So enjoy these while they last!  ~  JH
