Songs About "Yourself"

Boy, did I have a lot of songs to choose from with this topic! The number of songs with the word "Yourself" in their titles is staggering. Here are but a few of them. There'll be one more round of these next week, but that's all. Only the best for you, Dear Listener. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Justin Bieber  ~  “Love Yourself”  (I know, I know...I'd pretty much sworn off posting any more Bieber songs since he's become such a joke. But I accidentally starting liking this song quite a bit BEFORE finding out Justin was its singer. So it was either I leave off an obviously good song, or own that junk and put it front and center. I chose the latter. On the plus side, Biebs does NOT appear in the video at all, so there's that.)

Remote Control Songs, Vol. 2: "Fast Forward" & "Pause"

Here's part 2 of 3 in my continuing series featuring songs with words commonly found on a remote control in their titles. This time, it's "Fast Forward" and "Pause" songs. Admittedly, there are fewer well-known artists among the "Fast Forward" songs here, and there are even a few audio-only tunes among the "Pause" songs. But I hope you'll find that I didn't sacrifice song quality for artist notoriety or video excitability. (Or something like that.) Next up, we press "Rewind." Enjoy!  ~  JH
