“Give” & “Go” Songs, Vol. 1

What do you do when you've recently completed a series of songs with "Give" and "Take" in the title, but you still have a lot of good "Give" songs to spare?  You create a new two-part series with an obscure (outside the world of basketball, at least) sports phrase pairing the word "Give" with the word "Go" and you just roll with it. Enjoy!  ~  JH

“Back To” Songs

Where I live, today is "Back To School" Day. Since most students and all teachers would probably just as soon not celebrate that fact, here's a collection of "Back To" Songs which have absolutely nothing to do with school. Herein, you'll find the artists going back to "me," "you," "the start," "Manhattan," "God," "Earth," and "the '80s," just to name a few. So don't stress out about school. Enjoy these songs instead (or perhaps in addition to)!  ~  JH
