"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



1)  MercyMe  ~  “I Can Only Imagine”




2)  Paramore  ~  “The Only Exception”




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




4)  Florence + The Machine  ~  “Only If For A Night”




5)  Yellowcard  ~  “Only One”




6)  Dolly Parton  ~  “Only Dreamin




7)  Tonic  ~  “If You Could Only See”




8)  Carpenters  ~  “We’ve Only Just Begun”




9)  Mumford and Sons  ~  “Only Love”




10)  Best Coast  ~  “The Only Place”




11)  Asia  ~  “Only Time Will Tell”




12)  Zara Larsson  ~  “Only You”




13)  Static-X  ~  “The Only”




14)  Lily Allen  ~  “Somewhere Only We Know”  (I only recently found out that Lily wasn't the original performer of this song – that would be the British band Keane. I adore Lily's version, however, so they're both present and accounted for. Keane's version will appear in the third installment in this series.)




15)  James Taylor  ~  “Only One”




16)  Tina Turner & Bryan Adams  ~  “It’s Only Love”




17)  Bush  ~  “The Only Way Out”
