"Vague" Songs


I'm not gonna say that these songs are not clearly expressed or understood, but they are most certainly "Vague." If the songs' titles are to believed, at least. Enjoy!  ~  JH

5)  Esperanza Spalding  ~  "Vague Suspicions"




6)  of Montreal  ~  "Y The Quale And Vaguely Bird Noisily Enjoying Their Forbidden Tryst / I'd Be A Yellow Feathered Loon"  (Ridiculously long song titles aside, this band makes more than its fair share of oddball but unquestionably interesting music.)

Songs About Living & Learning

Sometimes you have to make mistakes in order not to make the same mistakes in the future. As the phrase goes, "you live, you learn." That's generally what these songs are all about. A few of them just happen to have both the words "Live" and "Learn" (in some form or another) in their titles. They're all good ones, though! So enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Alanis Morissette  ~  “You Learn”  (The refrain is “You live, you learn…” which may as well be its official title anyway.)




2)  Marshall Crenshaw  ~  “Live And Learn”




3)  Elle Carpenter  ~  “Learning How To Live”




4)  Joe Public  ~  “Live And Learn”




5)  Idina Menzel  ~  “You Learn To Live Without”




6)  Private Line  ~  “Live, Learn, And Grow Apart”




7)  Clannad  ~  “Live And Learn”




8)  Jonathan Jackson  ~  “How You Learn To Live Alone”

16)  Architects  ~  “Learn To Live”




17)  Kesha  ~  “Learn To Let Go”  (Nope, the word “live” doesn’t appear in the title, but the phrase “live and learn” is repeated several times throughout.)
