This started out at another Mix for my friend Drew (see my "When We Laugh Indoors" mix) because he's moving back from California, is newly single, and we haven't been talking a lot lately. But, it turned into something else. I've been dealing with a lot of disappointment/stress/financial issues... blah, and I haven't made a mix in months. So this is just what came out.
Oh yeah, and I have a drug problem... again.

Track Description:
"All I can offer are farmer chords, these simple rhymes and you painted in words You can sing this when alone or whistle it through your teeth and it will feel like home no matter how far you'll be" Where the name of the mix came from. Also, just to clarify, this mix isn't for a specific person. It feels like it is, but maybe I just don't know who. I feel like I've been let down by a lot of people lately. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
"And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down All of your failures are training grounds And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised, she says As your solitude subsides" This song has followed me everywhere I've gone from the first time I heard it years ago. I love it. It could be my fucking theme song. I guess regardless of all the times I've been disappointed or made the wrong decision or pushed someone away I haven't stopped taking risks yet. "And I say there's trouble When everything is fine The need to destroy things Creeps up on me every time Just as love's silhouette appears I close my eyes and disappear tonight" SHOW LESS

Track Description:
OK, I'm not posting lyrics. YOU MUST FIND THIS SONG. I'm obsessed. Phosphorescent is a Brooklyn band who I've totally fallen in love with and this song gives me the chills. Also, I went to the Dirty Projectors show right around the time that this album came out and Matthew Houck (of Phosphorescent) was there with neo-folk superhero Daniel Rossen (of Grizzly Bear). Talk about rep-ing Bk. My live might be a hot mess right now, but I fucking love living here. SHOW LESS

The Yay! Badge VII
This baffling badge is bestowed to those who can truly grasp the striking permanence and ungodly continuance of the of the elusive 'YAY!'.
awarded on 2007-08-27
Level 27
I have stated this before, but spectacularview, I hope the best of September is the worst of October for you. I have some new music to look up now (like tracks 1 + 8). Audrey is... heartbreaking... words fail me. It is such a wonderful, endearing track.
