Three things:
1) I sort of made this a story tape, taking us from unrequieted love, to losing your lover, to sadness in retrospect.
2) I'm not so good with sad-sad songs, so these are ones you can mostly listen to no matter what mood you're in - they just sort of have a melancholy air about them.
3) This is a blind tape, as I don't have headphones or speakers. I imagine it sounds pretty good, though.

| 9 | The Smiths : Still Ill |
|
"Somewhere Only We Know" was the first of a few "Can't we work it out?" songs, or, depending on how you look at them, "I wish you were still around so we could work it out" songs. "Still Ill" is a "I don't know if we can keep doing this because it feels so wrong to me" song. So you know... they're all mixed together.

| 10 | Coldplay : The Scientist |
|
I could almost put "Solitude" by Billie Holiday in this song's place, but I opted to go for putting the other song I wanted by her on here. I used to love this song so much, but it'd freak me out if I listened to it at night because of the lyric "Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, I want to rush to the start." I was like 13 at the time... but still.

| 11 | Bobby Goldsboro : Honey |

This song is really cheesy but if you're in the mood for one-a them tear-jerkers, it's actually really sad. It just kind of lures you into it if you are unsuspecting.

| 14 | Regina Spektor : Lady |
|
The namesake for this mix... "Lady sing the songs so blue... little wet tears on my baby's shoulder... I've walked the streets for so long, ain't nothin' right, ain't nothin' wrong." Also, a good introductory song, so to speak, for Lady Day herself who is next on the mix.
