I made this mix for my friend Drew who is one of my most favorite people. The last time he was home from LA I made him a mix for the drive back. Unfortunately at the time I had an imense crush on him and was deathly afraid of him finding out due mainly to the fact that it was pretty obvious that he had similar feelings for me, but also had a girlfriend, and honeslty it would have been bad news. The kind of situation that would have totally ruined our friendship which means worlds to me. He was a really positive infulence on me at a time when I desperately needed one. I honestly can say that he had a big hand in putting me on the road to...well, I'm not sure where it goes yet, but its lead me away from a really bad place and that's all that really matters. I am way off track in my story now...crap. OK, so I made him this mix, but because I was so afraid of him finding out how I really felt it ended up being this really impersonal pile of crap that I am embarassed I ever made. Now that I've got some distance from the whole situation, and I've completely fallen head over heels for another rather wonderfully amazing boy, I've decided to make him another mix. This one is mostly made of my favorite songs with a few that remind me of him tossed in.

Track 3 from The Greatest
Length: 00:03:44
Year: 2006
Track Description:
So, this is a great song, period. Its about overcoming alchoholism. Ok, so embarassing story time. Drew doesn't drink. Or smoke, or do any other drugs for that matter. he hasn't since he was about 16 (he's 26). At the time I met him I was still in the midst of a lot of partying. Drinking is only the half of it. So, the first time we hung out I took him into NYC to hang out and visit a friend of mine and we had an amazing day, but once the night rolled around and we'd all had dinner and a couple glasses of wine (except drew of course) things just took a turn towards..well, bad places. Long story short I kind of exposed him to things that I am very very sorry I did. While he still says he had a great time, it was what made me realize it was time to clean up my act. Thanks, Drew.

We both love Bright Eyes, but he still hadn't heard the new album as of last fall. Terrible, I know. When he had asked me to make him a mix to begin with (he never in his life had someone make him a mix before! Isn't that sad??) he wanted me to put some new Bright Eyes on it and I did. I wanted to use this song, but I used Road to Joy instead because it was less personal to me. God I feel guilty for giving him that fucking mix!

Track 2 from Invisible Ones
Length: 00:03:11
Year: 2005
Track Description:
(another azure ray related song on a mix, I know. I can't help myself!!) The religious commentary in this song goes along pretty closely with how we both feel. This is something I tend not to discuss with people because my opinions seem to very easily offend and I don't like to do that. This was, however, something that we had in common and were able to talk about at length. Plus her voice is so goddamn beautiful!

This is one of my favorite Death Cab songs. I love when he gets all angry in the middle, "I've always fallen fast with too much trust in the promising that 'No one's ever been here, so you can quell those wet fears." And I want purity, I must have it here right now..." God, I love that.

Track 9 from Picaresque

Year: 2005
Track Description:
This is my favorite Decemberists song next to Red Right Ankle. What I like about it and why I put it on the mix is that I feel like it describes a really intense platonic love. Its not just about two runways, but its also about finding a family outside of the one you were born into and that is how I feel about Drew.
