Songs About Stars

Again, for no particular reason other than the fact that I found it interesting, I present to you a collection of songs about...well, stars. Not all of these songs are specifically about stars and nothing else – most are love songs. However, all "stars" mentioned here, both in the titles and the lyrics, refer to actual celestial bodies and not celebrities. Several of the songs have identical titles, but every song here is unique. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Switchfoot  ~  "Stars"

2)  Hum  ~  "Stars"

3)  Matisse & Sadko  ~  "Stars"

4)  OneRepublic  ~  "Counting Stars"

A Baker's Dozen Of "Good" Songs

As promised earlier, here's a collection of otherwise unrelated songs which all bear the word "Good" somewhere in their titles. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Better Than Ezra  ~  "Good"  (Back in the day, this was my jam!)

2)  Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen  ~  "Good Time"  (I'm a big Owl City fan, but this isn't my favorite song of his; it is extremely catchy though)

3)  OneRepublic  ~  "Good Life"  (The official music video looked and sounded better than this one, but it didn't edit out a certain offensive word like this version does – it's a better song without it anyway!)

4)  Chris Malinchak  ~  "So Good To Me"  (Any music video that prominently features a giraffe is alright by me!)

5)  Michael Bublé  ~  "Feeling Good"  (This guy's voice is almost too smooth; I keep waiting for him to strain to hit a note – nope!)

6)  Frank Ocean ~  "Swim Good"  (I've heard a lot about this guy, but never listened to any of his songs before now – not bad!)

7)  Kimbra  ~  "Good Intent"  (Quirky female pop singers will be the death of me – or at least the death of my bank account [not really, but sort of])

8)  Daughtry  ~  "Start Of Something Good"  (Another good song by a great band)

9)  Nelly Furtado  ~  "All Good Things (Come To An End)"  (How true that is...)

10)  Kenny Chesney  ~  "The Good Stuff"  (I've never heard this song before today – it almost made me cry [not really, but sort of])

11)  Carrie Underwood  ~  "Good Girl"  (Get it, girl!)

12)  Shania Twain  ~  "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!"  (A YouTube user made the following comment on this video: "Her styling [here] is an example that you can look fierce and classy, instead of looking like a freakshow, aka Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, and Nicki Minaj!" So true!)

13)  The Beach Boys  ~  "Good Vibrations"  (This post wouldn't be complete without this classic summer song)

BONUS TRACK:  (Because I can, that's why...)

Trip Lee ft. Lecrae  ~  "I'm Good"

Songs By Bands With Numbers In Their Names

8)  Hot 8 Brass Band  ~  "Ghost Town"

9)  Nine Inch Nails  ~  "We're In This Together"
