I don't have a problem with authority. Do you? These are Songs About Authority. You can take them or leave them. But I'd much rather that you take them...and enjoy! ~ JH
I told you that you couldn't have too many Songs About Monsters, but did you believe me?NO! Regardless...enjoy! ~ JH
1) Paloma Faith ~ "Monster"
2) Lana del Rey ~ "Gods And Monsters"
3) Hit Like A Girl ~ “Monsters”
4) Imagine Dragons ~ "Monster"
5) Bebe Rexha ~ "Monster Under My Bed" (If this sounds similar to a song in Vol. 1, that's not a coincidence. The chorus for Rexha's original song formed the basis of the song "The Monster" by Eminem ft. Rihanna. And now you know!)
Apparently, it's World Hello Day! Who knew? First of all, a hearty hello to all of you out there in the blogosphere! Secondly, here's a set of songs with ONLY the word "Hello" as their titles.

My wife and I will be heading out this afternoon to see and hear some great Christian music performed at the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. Here's a sample song of each artist we will be seeing tonight. Winter Jam is a non-ticketed event – you just show up, stand in line, and pay your $10 at the door, and you get to see 10 different artists, plus a speaker. Can't beat that! Enjoy these tunes, and maybe you'll want to hit the road and come out as well! ~ JH

2) Stars Go Dim ~ “You Are Loved”
3) Trip Lee ft. Dimitri McDowell & Leah Smith ~ “Sweet Victory”

10) for KING & COUNTRY ~ “Fix My Eyes”
BONUS: Guest Speaker Tony Nolan ~ "Overcoming Struggles"
My wife is sixteen weeks pregnant today. I promised I wouldn't be doing too many more of these, as finding the required number of songs for each week is becoming increasingly more difficult. And I'll try to stick by that promise. But for now, here are 16 songs with "Sixteen" (or "16") in their titles. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) Tennessee Ernie Ford ~ "16 Tons"
2) K's Choice ~ "16"
Video wouldn't load properly – click link to view:
4) Margot And The Nuclear So And So's ~ "A Journalist Falls In Love With Death Row Inmate #16"
5) Jhene Aiko ~ "3:16am"
6) Demon Hunter ~ "Sixteen" (This band's not nearly as dark as its name would suggest – they're a Christian metal band. Yes, those actually exist! And this one's really good!)
In case you're wondering, yes, this is going to be another miniseries of "Opposites" music blog entries. I'm posting the "Now" songs now. Later, I will post the "Later" songs. If I left your favorite "Now" song out, I'm very sorry. I would say I'll go back and add it later, but by then I'll be posting "Later" songs and it will be too late for new "Now" songs. Ya follow me?
