Since I'm so new to the Mixtape Collective it would have been pretty hard for me to dedicate this mix to a fellow user. So, I'm posting one of the mixes I made for my boyfriend this Valentine's day. We exchange mixes quite often (constantly) but the problem is that, well... they all end up sounding sorta depressing. Soo, in honor of Valentine's day we decided to make upbeat, lighthearted, HAPPY mixes. I made him a serious one too, but I'll keep that one for myself.

1 Architecture in Helsinki : What's In Store
We just started dating the day after Christmas, so things are very new. I thought this was a cute song about not knowing what's ahead and just enjoying the ride.

2 Of Montreal : Everyday Feels Like Sunday
We live about an hour away from each other and we both have kind of crazy work schedules, but we always spend our Sundays together. "Everyday feels like Sunday, baby. Everyday feels so goood!"

3 Azure Ray : If You Fall
You'll start to see as I post more mixes that I absolutely adore Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor. This is one of their more upbeat songs. I think the lyric "If you fell in love would you hold on to it?" pretty much sums up my reasons for adding this one.

4 Tilly and the Wall : In Bed All Day
Tilly and the Wall are AMAZING. I stumbled upon them around the time this (their first ep I believe) came out and have loved them ever since. This is a just a sweet song. Everbody knows what its like when you first start dating someone and all you want to do it lie around under covers all day with them. Awwww...

5 Neutral Milk Hotel : Everything Is
We both adore NMH. He put one of my favorite songs by them on the first mix he gave me, and this song is so totally appropriate for this one I think. Not to mention how great it is to find such an extraordinarily happy song from Jeff Magnum.

6 The Mountain Goats : Going to Georgia
He once made a comment to me about how lovely it was simply to see me standing in his doorway. So, here you go. Not to mention the line "You smile as you ease the gun from my hands and I'm frozen with joy right where I stand.." Arg! I Love this song!!

7 Peter Bjorn and John : Young Folks
Not only one of the best singles from last year, but its so completely adorable. I mean, the whistle? Come on! Also, without getting to detailed, I'll admit that I've had somewhat of a checkered past. What can I say? It was a phase, but the line.. "If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be. Would you go along with someone like me?" just kills me every time.

9 Regina Spektor : Fidelity
I like the way she talks about music in this song. I feel like both of us can relate to it. "I hear in my mind, all of these voices. I hear in my mind, all of these words. I hear in my mind, all of this music, and it breaks my heart."
