description:
A lot of songs that I liked and wanted to share with my special friend. I tried my hardest to ensure that very few had hidden romantic meanings, as that had been a fault of mine in previous mixed CDs. So few thus are 'loaded' with hints of a romantic nature that the whole CD is thus UNloaded.

get you thinking too hard.

Track 5 from After the Snow
Length: 00:03:51

Track Description:
Just fun enough to overcome the fact that it came after a song urging
someone to lay there "and just forget the world", this one actually suggests stopping the world. Continuity, I like it.

Track Description:
This was downloaded along with many other single songs from a mix someone
put together of songs from the TV show Grey's Anatomy. It's silly and
fun but I could find almost nothing about the artist, nor was it
featured as being on an album.

Nice. Chasing Cars is a bit risky though, if you wanted to avoid romance and whatnot, but you said it.
