Replacing id's in 2 columns from same table with names from second table - sql

Question

I am trying to select all Song1 and Song2 rows from my Connections table but instead of showing the id number, I want to use my Songs table to replace the number with the Name of the song
This is the things I have tried and what I got:
select Name,Name
from Connections
JOIN Songs
ON Songs.SongID = CAST(Connections.Song1 AS varchar)
JOIN Connections as Connections2
ON Songs.SongID = CAST(Connections2.Song2 AS varchar);
^ This gives me 2 columns that are the same that only shows song 6 (because it is used in both song1 and song2)
select Name from Songs
JOIN Connections
ON Songs.SongID = connections.Song1
select Name from Songs
JOIN Connections
ON Songs.SongID = connections.Song2
^ The top one gives the desired outcome for the Song1 Column and the bottom one gives the desired outcome for the Song2 column but I can't figure out how to join them.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and new to SQL
Connections table:
Song1
Song2
1
2
3
4
5
6
6
7
Songs table:
SongId
Name
1
Turning Back
2
Reason
3
Solar System
4
Generator
5
Siren
6
Circles
7
Bunker
The desired output for the first 4 rows would be:
Song1
Song2
Turning Back
Reason
Solar System
Generator
Siren
Circles
Cirles
Bunker

Answer 1

You want two joins:
select s1.Name, s2.Name
from connections c join
songs s1
on s1.SongID = c.song1 join
songs s2
on s2.SongId = c.song2;
The following applies to the original question and was apparently a propos given the edits.
Your data model and query is a little confusing:
Why are you converting song1 to a string? That should not be necessary. Columns that link two tables should have the same type -- and be declared as foreign keys.
Why is a column called name stored as a number?
These questions don't need to be answered. They are just feedback on the design of the data.

Answer 2

The below query is for MySQL and I am sure this will work in MS SQL too. We are using nested query here, the output of nested query will give SongId to extract the name of the Songs from SongTable.
select SongTable.Name from SongTable
where SongId in (select Song1,Song2 from ConnectionTable where ConnectionId="?");
