“Smoke” & “Mirrors” Songs, Vol. 2

So here’s the thing… I had a couple or three songs that fit the theme of “Smoke” & “Mirrors” Songs and decided I’d make a post full of similarly themed tunes. Well, apparently I already did one of those posts over three-and-a-half years ago. Turns out the songs I wanted to post now weren’t in that other one, and neither were some newer songs and missed gems that would also fill the bill. So there’s this extremely belated follow-up post. You’re welcome?  ~  JH
