Songs “About” Something

These aren't "Something" songs. But they are something. They are songs about, for lack of a better word, "About." Meaning, of course, that they all contain the word "About" in their titles. At the beginning of their titles, actually. (To narrow down the options to a reasonable number.) But enough ado about nothing. Enjoy!  ~  JH

“Find” & “Lose” Songs, Vol. 1

Okay, so I had the brilliant idea to post some "Find" and "Lose" songs, but I found way more "Find" songs than I could reasonably use. So this will be a 2-parter. But wait! Even after 2 parts, there were more "Find" songs left over. So I had to do a "Find" and "Replace" post. But wait...still more "Find" songs! So I had to do a "Seek" and "Find" post. So settle in, 'cuz – as you will "Find" – this is only the beginning. Enjoy!  ~  JH
