I've been looking at this mix for awhile, but the autobiography game kind of inspired me to actually put it up.
At the beginning of this school year I became familiar with a foreign exchange student from New Zealand, named Harry. He had actually been going to our school for about six months in the year prior but we had never come into any sort of contact. But during our school musical we started talking and it kind of grew from there. What is so sad about this is that, I had the opportunity to know him for an entire year, but I had waited till the 5 month point before his departure. We started hanging out and I began to see another side of him, he was a really emotional writer, which threw me a bit because he was so outlandish on his exterior. Apart from writing plays [I happened to act in one, and now it is being taken to state] he wrote poetry and a bit of prose. He was a pretty fantastic guy, and he was always there for all his friends, no matter what it was they needed.
Then came the time of departure. I think a lot of us just imagined that he was going on a trip, and gonna come back in a few weeks. I don't think it hit anyone hard enough, except for Harry. I'm positive he cried a couple times. But, when I think about Harry, I can't really even think about crying. He's leaving, yes, but, I just have this feeling that he is gonna come back. But maybe that is because I know he won't loose contact.
A few days after he left I received a letter in the mail. It was from Harry. He wasn't even back to New Zealand yet, but he had written me a letter. Heh. He enclosed some pictures that he had taken, and seeing them kind of freaked me out. Once I saw a picture, that confirmed it that all these events were in the past, and were gonna stay that way.
So, this mix is for Harry. Thanks for everything guy, and maybe someday we shall bump into each other again.

Track Description:
We met under odd circumstances a little late on the timeline. But I'm sure we had seen each-other wandering the halls before and wondered what the other was like. It just took us some time to actually say hey and ask for each-others names. I had been trying to meet you for awhile, and I finally did. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Very shortly after saying hello we are made to say goodbye. Learning that he was not staying longer then 5 months. We have been made to say goodbye many times before, but never in this big of a way. Brace yourself. Not one of my favorite bands in the least, but this song makes a lot of sense to me. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Even though it has only been a short while, I feel like we know each-other very well, and I want you to do something for me. Promise you won't change. I'm sure you will find your way back home, and someday find your way back to all of us. Great low key song, that I could see anybody serenading somebody a so long with. "i'll force a smile the first 100 miles." SHOW LESS

Track Description:
The life here was good, but it is time for the final so long. You say as a joke "I'll be seeing you soon." And I can see the tears fighting to free themselves from behind your eyes. Another low key song. Slow, and really radiating the feeling of saying goodbye. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
They goodbye's are now fading away with the passing clouds and you are on your way home. It's a little too late to head back now, and all you can do is look ahead. This song keep the same feel, but has a little bit faster tempo and maybe even a bit more ominous sound. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Taken a deep breath and choked the sadness back. Now you've got the prospect of getting back to your family and friends that you have been away from for an entire year. And as you look out the window of the airplane this song is running through your head. A very upbeat song, certainly traveling music. Whenever I hear this I just wanna pick a direction, and drive.

Track Description:
And just as you leave it seems like the winter starts. The leaves fall from the trees and the ice is covering most things. You depart and we are left here, "left to grieve". Very slow and quiet song, showing how slow moving the emotions were after everything was said, and he was gone. SHOW LESS

Track 5 from Two Gallants
Length: 00:06:21 Year: 2003 |

|
Track Description:
Harry is in no way my baby, but this is just a good song that reflects the nature of losing somebody after a lot of good memories. Coming to the solid realization that they really arn't coming back, no matter what you do. Finally a good taste of some serious electric guitar, not to mention some pretty amazing drums. Specially at the end, gets really dirty, and that hows I likes it. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Miles away but your spirit is still being kept. Sure we miss you, but we trust you too keep us in mind so we arn't so worried. God knows you have enough pictures to help you remember us. For the first couple days I kept expecting to see you when I turned the corner. I'm sure the same thing happened to you. The boys are still calling out your name and pretending to cry. Kind of a different sound then the rest of the mix, kind of like a technological jazz/blues song. SHOW LESS

I know you guys will probably hate me for this. But right before Harry left, like 3 of us had this CD and we just took to playing it over and over again in a cramped van full of Harry's admirer's. Most of us knew all the words. It was one of the last good times we had. Not to mention it is pretty much in your face "missing you." We all miss you Harry. Totally. SHOW LESS

Another song about missing people. I don't think I could have enough of these kinds of songs. Everyday at least one person says that they miss Harry. It really feels like a piece of our daily routine has been lost under the bed. "Missing" is really just the key theme of this mix. This track is... beck. Nuff said. SHOW LESS

Track 4 from Wolf Parade - EP
Length: 00:04:17 Year: 2005 |
|
|
Track Description:
This track does a good job describing the pain and the happiness contained in a single picture. When you look at picture it reminds you of the past and how it may never repeat itself, but it also shows the good memories you all had together and you don't want to ever forget about those. You may be over the sea, but the pictures you left here are gonna keep a part of you with us, for as long as it take you to come back. Live your life, guy, and let all those pictures remind you of the friends you still have, on the other side of the spectrum. So long. SHOW LESS

Oh my god, I think I might cry.
Harry was such a big part of my life over the past year. Debauchery or not, I never had a bad time with that guy.
You know, he never kissed any boys until one night in April when Libby had a little party at her house, and he and I kissed. How funny for me.
Once, Amanda, Harry, and maybe Ashley Hinrichs (weird eh?) went up to those look-out towers in the Cico baseball place, and one of the little watchtowers was unlocked. We went inside and hotboxed that shit with cigarette smoke. Ironically, Amanda, Harry, and I don't actually smoke regularly.
Ahahaha truth or dare, we kept daring eachother to poop on Jesse Brooks.
Oh my god I can't believe I forgot all of this until now. There is so much more. Oh goodness.
I love that man. I want to see him again. I miss him terribley.
