Songs For The Senses, Vol. 1: Touch

Today begins a new miniseries featuring songs about the senses: Suggested by my friend Daniel Entzminger, this five-part series will cover songs with "Touch," "Taste," "Smell," "Hear" (or "Sound"), and "See" (or "Sight") in their titles. A couple of these are going to be particularly challenging for me, as I've previously done unrelated posts for "Touch" and "See" songs – and you know how I don't like to do repeated songs, so…yeah. Enjoy!  ~  JH
