Yours, Mine, & Ours Songs, Vol. 3: "Ours"

In this third and final installment of the miniseries, we have a decidedly smaller collection of songs with "Ours" in their titles. For one thing, there were fewer songs to choose from that fit the criteria. For another, many of the ones I did find I didn't like or were otherwise inappropriate. So I chose quality over quantity. There are still a few rather-unknown artists here, but their songs are included because they're good not because they're famous. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Taylor Swift  ~  "Ours"

2)  Elbow  ~  "Friend Of Ours"

3)  Jason Mraz  ~  "(This Movie Is) Rated Ours"  (Yes, actually, I did realize that there was a Jason Mraz song in each entry of this series. Not a coincidence.)

5)  Aloe Blacc  ~  "Hello World (The World Is Ours)"

6)  Richard Hawley  ~  "Tonight The Streets Are Ours"
