Songs For Halloween

Happy Halloween! I know this is a controversial holiday for some, and not everyone chooses to celebrate it. But I'm not one of those people, so here goes a collection of Halloween-themed songs. In most cases, the song isn't intended to be a Halloween-oriented song, it just happens to have a word in its title that could be associated with this most ghoulish of days. Enjoy! (Or don't. It's all the same to me.)  ~  JH

Songs By Family Musical Groups

Okay, so today's theme is a little different than what I've been posting in my music blogs of late, but I think you'll find it to be a refreshing change of pace. All of the artists in this collection have one thing in common: family. Specifically, all of the musical acts represented here have at least two blood relatives in the group. Some are comprised of an entire group of siblings, while others are dynamic duos. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list – you'll notice groups like The Bee Gees and The Osmonds, to name two, are absent – but that's because I've either posted songs by them in the past or because I hate their music (or both). Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Cimorelli  ~  "Believe It"




2)  The Band Perry  ~   "If I Die Young"




3)  The Corrs  ~  "Dreams"




4)  K-Ci & JoJo  ~  "All My Life"




5)  First Aid Kit  ~  "Ghost Town"




6)  for KING & COUNTRY  ~  "The Proof Of Your Love"

11)  Hanson  ~  "Save Me"




12)  Carpenters  ~  "Superstar"

16)  BarlowGirl  ~  "Never Alone"
