STRAYPOETRY | Culture For The Ages

Note: This is a page in progress, until all 100 songs are added, things will change weekly, or even daily.

There are some songs that are pure poetry! This list of 100 is pulled from my own collection, and are each and every one deeply poetic in some way. Most of them are not from the top of the charts, they are from a wide range of styles and genres, some are old, and some are new. Each one of these songs has something special in it, and since this is my list; I get to choose them at will.

I hope you take the time to listen to some (or all) of these, as there are some really wonderful jewels buried inside. This is an unordered list, the numbers do not denote favor over the others. Not all of these songs have lyrics, and so, the poetry of that song is in the music.
