So a little bit ago, I woke up around 5:30 and it was raining, not a lot, just a small shower. But the sound of the rain hitting the roof outside my window (which were wide open and thus getting my room wet) was pretty surreal, and BANG, mixtape.
I plan on making a second side to this. It will be darker and more depressing probably. Cause im like that :(

| 6 | M83 : On A White Lake, Near A Green Mountain |

| 7 | Portishead : Wandering Star |

The first appearence of vocals that are not chants or baby sounds. The vocals add to the idea of getting lost in this mix while staring at a fading night sky.

I AM ENOUGH OF A LOSER TO PUT A SONG FROM A VIDEOGAME ON A MIX. That being said, this a great piano piece, and im sure that anyone who was played FFX will agree.

| 9 | The Album Leaf : Over The Pond |

A heavily Sigur Ros influenced song (Birgisson even helps with vocals), this dreamy-like song finds a nice place on this mix, and a water reference in the title helps.

The beginning beeps and noises hold a rain-like vibe, and...its Slowdive, reason enough in itself to be on a mix.

| 11 | Radiohead : Exit Music (For A Film) |
|
For me, the experience of closing my eyes, listening to, and focusing on nothing but the rain was almost choking. The lyrics sum up this experience. "Wake from your sleep," --> "We hope that you choke." A weird interpretation on putting the song on by my part though :( SHOW MORE

I really like the Radiohead and Sigur Ros choices. Portishead I can always do without. And I've yet to hear that videogame piano mix. I will though.
Have you heard Christopher O'Riley's compilation of Radiohead songs on piano? If you haven't, you should. You might just enjoy that.
