1)  Guns N’ Roses  ~  “November Rain”

2)  Skylar Stecker  ~  “Let It Pour”

3)  Paul Robeson  ~  “Ol’ Man River”

13)  Mariah Carey  ~  “Through The Rain”

14)  Crowded House  ~  “Pour Le Monde”  (Yeah, I know this one’s sort of cheating since “Pour” here is a French word with an entirely different meaning – whatever that may be, I don’t speak French. But good “Pour” songs are hard to come by, so there ya go…)

22)  Céline Dion  ~  “Pour Que Tu M’Aimes Encore”  (Yep, it’s me cheating again by selecting a song with the French word “Pour” which doesn’t mean “pour,” as in to drain something of its liquid. What’s your point?)

23)  Hootie & The Blowfish  ~  “Old Man & Me”

24)  3 Feet Smaller  ~  “Snore”

25)  Zoe G  ~  “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring”  (A creepy version of a classic nursery rhyme just in time for Halloween. You’re SO welcome!)

"Only" Songs

I love picking a really broad theme – or, in this case, songs with a really common word in the titles – for a post (or series). When there are, literally, hundreds of songs to choose from, the chances are good that the majority of the songs I'll gather are: a) well-known by most folks; and b) of the highest quality. Such is the case these "Only" Songs. And yes, there will be more to come in the next couple of days. Enjoy!  ~  JH

2)  Paramore  ~  “The Only Exception”

3)  Simon & Garfunkel  ~  “The Only Living Boy In New York”
