"Barely" Songs

These are "Barely" Songs. Which is not to say that they barely qualify as songs. In fact, they're quite good. The "Barely" in question appears in the title of each, which is the single unifying theme of the songs. Otherwise, they're all completely unrelated. As per usual... Ready, set, enjoy! ~ JH
