Hey, check these out! Two or more different songs with the same title! What a novel concept! (Thus the "Vol. 16" notation above.) Just enjoy 'em, okay? ~ JH
Today begins a new miniseries featuring songs about the senses: Suggested by my friend Daniel Entzminger, this five-part series will cover songs with "Touch," "Taste," "Smell," "Hear" (or "Sound"), and "See" (or "Sight") in their titles. A couple of these are going to be particularly challenging for me, as I've previously done unrelated posts for "Touch" and "See" songs – and you know how I don't like to do repeated songs, so…yeah. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) The Black Keys ~ "Your Touch"
2) Cascada ~ "Everytime We Touch"
3) Days Of The New ~ "Touch, Peel, And Stand"
4) AC/DC ~ "Touch Too Much"
5) JoJo ~ "How To Touch A Girl"
6) Gaither Vocal Band ~ "He Touched Me"
7) Def Leppard ~ "I Wanna Touch You"
8) C + C Music Factory ~ "Just A Touch Of Love"
9) Rick Springfield ~ "Human Touch"
10) Morandi ~ "Everytime We Touch"

14) Alison Krauss & Union Station ~ "Let Me Touch You For Awhile"
15) Kutless ~ "Your Touch"
16) Say Lou Lou ~ "Everything We Touch"
17) Razorlight ~ "Golden Touch"
18) We Are Twin ~ "The Way We Touch"
19) Midnight Star ~ "Midas Touch"
20) Logan Lynn ft. Rowan Wren ~ "Everything You Touch Turns To Gold"
This may or may not be the first part of yet another "Opposites" music post – knowing me, I probably will follow it up with a collection of songs about "Them." For now, though, enjoy what I think is a really good set of songs, by both well-known and lesser-known artists. ~ JH
1) Snow Patrol ~ "The Planets Bend Between Us"
2) Sophie Ellis-Bextor ~ "Today The Sun's On Us"
3) Joe Jackson ~ "Breaking Us In Two"
4) Paloma Faith ~ "Never Tear Us Apart"
5) Passenger ~ "What Will Become Of Us"
6) Fallulah ~ "Give Us A Little Love"
7) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ~ "Can't Hold Us" (I posted the official music video of this song a mere 3 months ago [on my original blog]. But I decided to include it here because it was interesting to see such a multi-layered song performed live – usually rap songs don't sound nearly as good in person as they do when they were recorded.)
8) Sade ~ "Nothing Can Come Between Us"
9) B.o.B. ft. Taylor Swift ~ "Both Of Us" (Interesting collaboration between two über-talented, yet very different artists.)
10) Christina Milian ~ "Us Against The World"
11) Daft Punk ~ "Something About Us"
12) t.A.T.u. ~ "All About Us"
13) Will Smith ~ "Just The Two Of Us"
14) Within Temptation ft. Tarja ~ "Paradise (What About Us?)" (Two powerhouse symphonic metal female vocalists in one song? Blisteringly intense!)
15) Angel ~ "Us"
16) Regina Spektor ~ "Us"
17) Alabama ~ "Angels Among Us"
18) He Is We ft. Owl City ~ "All About Us"
19) STRFKR ~ "Bury Us Alive"
20) Taylor Swift ~ "The Story Of Us" (Yeah, another song by Taylor Swift in the same post. What's your point? I like her, so what?)
21) Joy Division ~ "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
22) Kelly Clarkson ~ "People Like Us"
23) Elvis Costello & The Roots ~ "Walk Us Uptown"
24) Joan Osborne ~ "One Of Us" (I have some issues with this song lyrically, but it's a surefire classic from the mid-'90s that belongs in this collection.)
25) Keith Urban ft. Miranda Lambert ~ "We Were Us"
As promised, here's part 2 of 2 of this series-within-a-series of "Opposites" music posts. In case you missed the "Win" songs post yesterday, you can view it here. Enjoy! ~ JH
