Songs About Getting Shot

When you've done as many music posts as I have over the past few years, it can be difficult to come up with new and exciting ideas. But not today! Today, I have for you a collection of Songs About Getting Shot. And that's anything BUT boring! Umm...enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Bon Jovi  ~  “Shot Through The Heart”  (Ironically, Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" – which is NOT in this group of songs – was the inspiration for this post. Turns out they have ANOTHER song with the iconic "Shot Through The Heart" lyric in it, this one in its title. Go figure!)




2)  Elvis Costello  ~  “Shot With His Own Gun”




3)  Imagine Dragons  ~  “Shots”




4)  Lady Gaga  ~  “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”

13)  Christina Perri  ~  “Shot In The Heart”




14)  Protoje ft. Toian  ~  “Shot By Love”




15)  T-killah ft. Lena Katina  ~  “Shot”  (I'd heard this song was even better in its original language – Russian – and whaddyaknow, it is! Check it out here.)

A Rigorous Retrospective Of Remarkable Reggae Songs, Vol. 1

Recently, I found myself craving some island flavor. And the best way I could figure to do that would be to listen to some good reggae music. I also noticed an appalling lack of representation of the genre on this blog over the past...well, forever, actually. So I enlisted the help of my friend Eric Murphy, a diehard reggae fan, to pick some of his favorite tunes/artists (all of which are included in this set), and added a lot more on my own that I liked and/or discovered along the way. The result is a 50-song collection (split up into two posts) of smooth jams that I had lots of fun compiling. I hope you'll enjoy them, too!  ~  JH




1)  Chronixx  ~  "Smile Jamaica"




2)  New Kingston  ~  "Life"




3)  Tribal Seeds  ~  "Moonlight"




4)  Stephen Marley ft. Capleton & Sizzla  ~  "Rock Stone"






5)  Sister Nancy  ~  "Bam Bam"




6)  Tarrus Riley  ~  "She's Royal"




7)  Peter Tosh  ~  "Downpressor Man"

14)  Johnny Clarke  ~  "Warrior"




15)  Bob Marley  ~  "No Woman, No Cry"




16)  Sara Lugo ft. Protoje  ~  "Really Like You"  (This is a fairly "poppy" reggae song, but it technically qualifies and I like it, so it's here.)




17)  Burning Spear  ~  "Slavery Days"






18)  Dennis Brown  ~  "Rocking Time"




19)  Max Romeo  ~  "Chase The Devil"
