HALF & HALWAY Songs

[WilliamS68311]

July 2nd is the 183rd day of the year, or 184th day during a leap year. It marks the halfway point of the year, with noontime being the exact halfway point in a non-leap year, and midnight serving as the halfway point of a leap year. It lends itself to today’s playlist, and eclectic mix of songs featuring the word half in their title.

A Soundgarden song (R.I.P. Chris Cornell, a musical genius lost way too soon) lends the title of the blog. Some great half songs include several mega-hits, including Crystal Gayle’s “Half the Way,” Kenny Loggins’ “Meet Me Halfway,” John Mayer’s “Half of My Heart,” Billy Joel’s “Half a Mile Away,” Styx’ “Half Penny, Two Penny,” Wilson Picket’s “A Man and a Half” and “Ninety-Nine and One-Half (Won’t Do)” with CCR covering the same song, Lifehouse’s “Halfway Gone,” Patsy Cline and Ray Charles offering “Half As Much,” Keith Urban’s “You’re My Better Half,” One Direction’s “Half a Heart,” and Jelly Roll’s “Halfway to Hell.”

So you’re halfway through the year. It’s time to look back and take stock in the joys and successes, the trials and tribulations, and plan for an even better second half, with perhaps some half-year resolutions. Happy Half New Year!

Great playlist. I heard the Elton John riff in Half

the way. Also loved the young Sly Stallone in

the Meet me halfway video. And I love John 

Mayer- with Taylor Swift contributing to Half

of my heart. Thanks for sharing! 🎶💜
