"Beautiful" Songs

If I didn't tell you this "theme" was a reboot from four-and-a-half years ago (on my original "The Plural Of Hyena" blog, no less), I'm sure you never would have remembered. But it is. And with good reason. Four-and-a-half years ago, I wasn't quite as adept at finding the perfect mix of well-known and lesser-known songs, which should (in theory) tip slightly in favor of the more well-known ones. Also, some of the really good songs included in this two-parter weren't even released four-and-a-half years ago. So here they are. I hope you will...enjoy!  ~  JH
