Songs That Remind Me of Seeley Booth

sillysun22  asked me to post songs that I listen to while writing and/or that remind me of Booth and Brennan.  I'm going to start to fill her request by posting songs that remind me specifically of Booth.  For some songs, I've added brief explanations.  I may add more, and I'll almost certainly edit this post down the line and add additional songs as they occur to me.  I've posted ...

Ah. I blog too much when I'm bored.
