Songs By Dynamic Danish Artists, Vol. 1

When you read the title for this post, you may have thought, "Boy, he's REALLY running out of good ideas now!" But that's actually not the case. I have long been a fan of many musicians hailing from Denmark. In fact, fully half of the artists featured here and in the follow-up post have appeared previously on my music blog. Some of the bands/singers are extremely well-known, not only in Europe, but here in the U.S. as well. All of them are immensely talented and more than worthy of being showcased here. I hope you'll enjoy the songs as much as I did in compiling them!  ~  JH

12)  Miguel Bosé  ~  “Nada Particular”  (What a great song! Hopefully it’s not about something wretched. I wouldn’t know – I don’t understand the lyrics.)

“Sick” & “Tired” Songs, Vol. 1

I got it into my head that I would post a set of songs with either the word "Sick" or "Tired" or both in their titles. Then I started finding too many good songs that qualified. Pretty soon, I had enough songs for not one, not two, but three posts. Yes, that's right – imagine that! – I got carried away with myself again. So this is the first post, and there will be two more. I'll spread 'em out a bit, so you don't get too...wait for it..."Sick" and "Tired" of them. Enjoy?  ~  JH
