This post started out as a challenge to myself to find songs with the capital city of each country in Europe in their titles. I failed in that effort (not all of Europe's nations are represented here), but I was able to find quite a few of them. And the resulting songs are not too shabby. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) Counting Crows ~ "On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago"
2) Nana Mouskouri ~ "The White Rose Of Athens"
3) Neil Young ~ "After Berlin"
4) Luna ~ "23 Minutes In Brussels"
5) Jazzy Jo ~ "A Night In Bucharest"
6) George Ezra ~ "Budapest"
7) Vienna Teng ~ "Copenhagen (Let Me Go)"
8) The High Kings ~ "The Rocky Road To Dublin"
9) The National Parks ~ "Helsinki"
10) Emerson, Lake, & Palmer ~ "The Great Gates Of Kiev"
11) The Wave Pictures ~ "Lisbon"
12) Heather Nova ~ "London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)"
13) Kevin Devine ~ "Luxembourg"
14) Shakira ~ "Te Dejo Madrid"
15) Michael Jackson ~ "Stranger In Moscow"
16) The Wooden Sky ~ "Oslo" (NOTE: The song ends around the 3:00 mark; the rest is just blah-blah-blah interview stuff.)
And now for the "dramatic conclusion" to this rather long-running series of songs about units of time. Here's a collection with 5 songs each about decades, centuries, millenniums, and eternity. Enjoy! ~ JH
