"40" Songs

Yesterday, I celebrated my 40th birthday. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of that number – it's just a number. When my wife was pregnant with our second child, I was doing weekly posts with songs featuring a number in their titles that corresponded with the number of weeks of her pregnancy. Our daughter was born a few days early, so I never got a chance to put together the "40" Songs. For both of those reasons, there's this lengthy post. Enjoy?  ~  JH
