"Skin" Songs

While this isn't exactly an "Opposites" music post, it is a two-parter featuring songs about somewhat-related words. These are songs with "Skin" in the title – its followup will be songs with "Bone" (or "Bones") in the title. While there are quite a few well-known artists here, some of the best tracks here are by bands/artists you may not have heard of before. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs About Horses

I just know I will have missed someone's favorite song about horses, or will have included a least-favorite version of someone's favorite song about horses, and that's okay. I don't claim this to be a comprehensive list, but I do think it's a pretty good one. Equestrian enthusiasts – and everyone else, too – on your mark, get set, enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Alicia Keys & Adam Levine  ~  "Wild Horses"

2)  U2  ~  "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"

7)  Moby  ~  "Pale Horses"

8)  Ellie Goulding  ~  "Guns And Horses"

9)  Asking Alexandria  ~  "If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once…You Should Get Out Of The Circus"  (I absolutely abhor "screamo" music, but this song's title was far too ridiculous for me not to include it here.)

10)  PJ Harvey  ~  "Horses In My Dreams"

11)  Elton John ft. Luciano Pavarotti  ~  "Live Like Horses"

12)  Toby Keith ft. Willie Nelson  ~  "Beer For My Horses"  (This video's cheesy as all-get-out, and Toby couldn't act his way out of a Stetson hat, but the song's pretty good.)

19)  The Cardigans  ~  "A Good Horse"

20)  Nazareth  ~  "All The King's Horses"

21)   Shakira  ~  "Poem To A Horse"  (And the runner-up for weirdest title in the post goes to…Shakira!)

22)  Johnny Horton  ~  "Comanche (The Brave Horse)"

23)  Willie Nelson ft. Merle Haggard  ~  "A Horse Called Music"  (Because you can never really have too much Willie Nelson…)
