"She" & "Herself" Songs

What do you do when you've already posted far too many "She," "Her," and "Hers" Songs, but you still have a lot of good "She" songs left over? Well, if you're me (and, thank heavens, you're not!), you recall a female personal pronoun you haven't explored yet – "Herself" – and you lump it together with the rest of your "She" songs and call it a postscript to the previous two-part post. And here it is... Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Maroon 5  ~  "She Will Be Loved"

2)  Lili Kendall  ~  "Love, Herself"

8)  David Coslett  ~  "Find Herself"

9)  Daryl Hall & John Oates  ~  "She's Gone"

10)  Chris Rudd  ~  "Dance By Herself"  (If this song were an instrumental, it'd be fantastic! If the guy just sang a bunch of nonsense words, it'd still be pretty good. With its extremely lame lyrics, however, the whole thing comes off as sad and jokey. Close, Chris, but no cigar for you!)
