14 Songs With "Fourteen" In The Title

My wife is 14 weeks pregnant today, so there's this post. It's getting harder and harder to do these as the number of weeks gets higher. I know no one's twisting my arm to do these otherwise pointless posts, but I kind of enjoy them. We'll see how long it lasts, but I'm betting only a couple more weeks. That being said, enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs By Elemental Artists, Vol. 4: Fire

Last but not least, we have songs by artists with "Fire" somewhere in their names. I hope you have enjoyed this 4-part miniseries. Even if I wasn't able to find a great number of songs by well-known artists, I was able to discover some interesting, new-to-me music along the way.  ~  JH



1)  Fireflight  ~  "Unbreakable"




2)  Greek Fire  ~  "Top Of The World"




3)  After The Fire  ~  "Der Kommissar"




4)  Friendly Fires  ~  "Skeleton Boy"




5)  Arcade Fire  ~  "Reflektor"




6)  I Set My Friends On Fire  ~  "Things That Rhyme With Orange"  (I generally disdain songs with screaming "vocals" – but this video was just too weird not to include here. Great song title, too!)




7)  Day Of Fire  ~  "Cut And Move"




8)  Backyard Tire Fire  ~  "Shoulda Shut It"




9)  Deadly Circus Fire  ~  "The Light Within"




10)  Care Bears On Fire  ~  "Everybody Else (Paint By Numbers)"  (This is a fairly terrible song – but their band name was so cute that I felt compelled to add it here.)
