I wasn't going to write a new blog post today, BUT I was listening to the radio and "How to Save a Life" today came on. I've always imagined an alternative title to it. You know how you hear a song and sometimes you just feel like the artist is trying to tell you something else besides what's in the song? Anyway, this is just a short list of songs and how I would rename them if I bought the rights to them. I would match the new titles of them to the message that I get out of out the song. Obviously, everyone has their own list, and this is mine. I realize I may offend a few people in the process, but that's a risk I'm willing to take. Cheers.

* In my opinion, a song that an established, renown , respected grown male artist should never have agreed to record. I can imagine his British peers laughing at him and saying: "Now what were you thinking mate?"
