More Songs With No Particular Theme

Awhile back I did a post of songs with no particular theme, and it wasn't particularly well clicked-on, until I mentioned later that there was a hidden message in it – which, incidentally, no one ever cracked without a clue. Go figure – I guess everybody loves a cypher. I just enjoy music and compiling a bunch of good songs, whether I can always come up with an appropriate theme or not. So here you go...  ~  JH

A Bunch Of Songs With No Particular Theme

Sometimes there's a specific song that I like and want to post, but I can't think of a good way to incorporate it anywhere. Other times, when I'm posting on a particular theme, I have leftover songs that I like but ultimately end up excluding for one reason or another. I keep all these "random" songs in a special file for…someday. Today must be someday, because I decided to gather a few of these "rejects" and post them…just because. Don't look too hard for a theme – there isn't one. Just enjoy!  ~  JH
