It's About Time! Vol. 1: Seconds

Today begins the first in what will be a multi-part series (how many parts is yet to be determined) featuring songs with units of time in their titles. We'll start with Seconds, progress to Minutes, then Hours, Days, and so on and so forth. I had a lot of fun in compiling these. I hope you will enjoy them, too!  ~  JH

Songs For The Last Day Of School

As any classroom teacher can attest, the school year can be unbearably long. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And for many teachers (and students) in the area where I live, the last day of school has finally arrived. So count down those hours, wave goodbye to the kiddos, and let the celebration begin! And let these songs be the soundtrack for your day. Enjoy!  ~  JH

"Day" Songs

Yes, this is another "Opposites" music post. And yes, I know I do these too often. And yes, I know that I should mix it up a bit more and do different themes. But I don't always do what I know that I should. That being said, "Day" and "Night" songs (the follow-up to this post) are a dime a dozen, so I tried to limit the results somehow. My challenge was to post good songs that fit the criteria, but ones that I had never posted before on either this blog or The Plural Of Hyena. That's a heckuva lot of music posts and a heckuva lot of songs. But NONE of these are repeats. I done good! Enjoy? ~  JH
