(Finished August 8th, 2026) Part 14 of 48 Blogs: All Songs On themusicaddict's iPod

Hello,

This was a living blog series until that became too time consuming of a task. As of the morning of June 11th this blog series is locked. That means I've typed all the songs and their number of listens and will not be making any changes.

These are all the songs that are on my iPod. I'm going to start with the least played songs on my iPod all the way up to the most played song on my iPod. These songs are on my iPod are songs that I've loved all my life, just barely discovered, songs from concerts that I've been too and concerts I'll be going to soon. I love all sorts of songs and genres. There are no weird songs on my iPod, just a bunch of great songs. One of the things I love the most about my iPod is that it's a living thing. Six months from now the songs on my iPod will be drastically different.

The first ten blogs will have 18 songs and the last 30 blogs will have 17 songs. Songs 809 to 806 haven't had any listens so far. Like my iPod updates the number of listens a song when a song plays I'll update this blog series to correspond with that. However again that's too time consuming so these blogs are locked.

(Finished August 2nd, 2026) Part 3 of Songs About The One Who Got Away/ Previous Loves

Hello,

This blog is inspired by one of the greatest songs of all-time, Eric Church's "Springsteen", a song about one that had a very memorable relationship that ended. There's no one like that for me, but still each time I hear one of those songs it hits me right in the feels. These songs are those we look back on with nostalgia/ feeling wistful. In other words songs like Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" won't be here. These songs are some of the greatest songs ever. Some may wonder is there a chance to reconcile? Who knows, but I'll include a few of those songs here as well. Also I'll include a few songs about relationships that should be over already.

35) Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine":

36) Kodaline "All I Want":

37) Candlebox "Far Behind":

38) Toby Keith "How Do You Like Me Now":

39) Dennis DeYoung "Desert Moon":

41) Alan Jackson "Dallas":

42) Keith Whitley "I Wonder Do You Think of Me?

43) Sunny Sweeney "From A Table Away":

44) The Chicks "You Were Mine":

45) U2 "With or Without You":

46) Jerry Reed "She's Got The Gold Mine (I Got The Shaft)":

47) Brooks and Dunn "She Used To Be Mine":
