"Second" Songs

I was going to do a short miniseries of posts with the words "First," "Second," "Third," and so forth in the titles. But as it turns out, I've already done "First" songs previously (in a "First" & "Last" Songs post), and "Third" songs and beyond are pretty hard to come by. So here's a small selection of "Second" songs. Enjoy? ~ JH

1) Shinedown ~ "Second Chance"

2) LIGHTS ~ "Second Go"

3) Eddie Rabbitt ~ "On Second Thought"

4) Shalamar ~ "The Second Time Around"

2) Jerry Mason ~ "For Mama" (This guy was the self-proclaimed first American gypsy pop star.)
