“Back To” Songs

Where I live, today is "Back To School" Day. Since most students and all teachers would probably just as soon not celebrate that fact, here's a collection of "Back To" Songs which have absolutely nothing to do with school. Herein, you'll find the artists going back to "me," "you," "the start," "Manhattan," "God," "Earth," and "the '80s," just to name a few. So don't stress out about school. Enjoy these songs instead (or perhaps in addition to)!  ~  JH

“Mess”-y Songs

If you're one of those people who has it all together, someone who's on top of everything at all times – I'm sorry, but I don't have much in common with you.

BONUS TRACK:  Alanis Morissette  ~  “Hands Clean”  (I’m tacking this one on as a bonus track because it’s a good song, even though it doesn’t have the word “mess” or “messy” anywhere in its title. The phrase “This could get messy…” figures prominently in the pre-chorus though, so it makes the cut.)
