"Runaway" Songs

Every now and then, I publish a bunch of posts all at once. This is obviously one of those times. These are "Runaway" Songs. Also, obviously. Enjoy!  ~  JH



 1)  Post Malone  ~  "Circles"  (You may be thinking, why on earth would this guy start off a post of "Runaway" songs with one that doesn't even have that word in the title? Good question! First off, this was the song that originally inspired the post. Secondly, I could have sworn its title was actually "Runaway," due to the word's near-constant repetition in the chorus. So, there you have it!)

Popular Songs Of 2010, Vol. 1

It's that time of year again. When I drag out the most popular songs from decades past and present them for your listening pleasure. Or something like that... I'm going to *try* to be more selective this year, as I invariably get carried away with these kinds of posts. So these are the biggest hits from 10 years ago, and the set that will follow contains more of the same. My, how time flies! Ready...set...enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE: The "modern" era of music being what it is, there are elements of a few of the songs in this post which some might find offensive. While I have strived to post the "clean" version of songs where expletives were present, some visual content in several of the videos may be less than savory. Viewer discretion is advised.
