Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 1

Here's a cool new idea for a music blog post. Before you think I'm bragging, I'm not. The original concept for this post (and all future volumes under the same theme) was suggested by my friend Daniel Entzminger. There are 10 different song titles here, with 2 completely different songs for each of them. And by completely different, I do mean completely different! Take a listen, and comment here or on the site where you saw this post with your favorite artist for each title. There will be more of these to come. Oh yeah, and enjoy!  ~  JH

*Apologies to Sara Bareilles, who penned and performed a terrific tune called "Love Song." But alas, I had posted that song here recently in my "Songs with 'Song' In The Title" entry. Incidentally, in that same post I included The Cure's original version of the 311 song covered here.

"Day" Songs

Yes, this is another "Opposites" music post. And yes, I know I do these too often. And yes, I know that I should mix it up a bit more and do different themes. But I don't always do what I know that I should. That being said, "Day" and "Night" songs (the follow-up to this post) are a dime a dozen, so I tried to limit the results somehow. My challenge was to post good songs that fit the criteria, but ones that I had never posted before on either this blog or The Plural Of Hyena. That's a heckuva lot of music posts and a heckuva lot of songs. But NONE of these are repeats. I done good! Enjoy? ~  JH
