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.

| 1 | The Beach Boys : Wouldn't It Be Nice |
|
I went with the cheesiest, spunkiest start I could for this one. It does perhaps cross the threshold of loaded/unloaded but hopefully doesn't get you thinking too hard. SHOW MORE

| 2 | New Radicals : You Get What You Give |
|
A nice journey back to middle school. It's also catchy as all get-out and has no deep underlying meanings for us. Thank goodness. SHOW MORE

Track 2 from Maybe You've Been Brainwashed, Too

| 3 | James Brown : Papa's Got a Brand New Bag |
|
This makes me want to have a band follow me around all the time and cue the trumpets whenever I do something kind of cool. And the horns. Maybe a little percussion, too.

| 4 | Colin Hay : Freedom Calling |
|
We have an obligatory Colin Hay requirement on most exchanged CD's. This one has bagpipes and I am just barely part Scottish enough for my Mom to cry at bagpipes. Twas a no-brainer. SHOW MORE

| 5 | Snow Patrol : Chasing Cars |
|
This one was a tad loaded...allusions to "those three words" and whatnot, along with the prospect of just laying there. But it was too pretty to leave off.

| 6 | Modern English : I Melt With You |
|
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. SHOW MORE

| 7 | Michael Stipe w/ Chris Martin : In the Sun |

Probably the most beautiful song I've found recently. I just purchased the EP of it online and the proceeds go to Katrina relief. I sometimes listen to it on repeat. SHOW MORE

| 8 | Mike Tarantino : Wienermobile Girl |
|
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. SHOW MORE

Sounds like a meteor shower should. It's gentle and soothing but keeps you awake.

| 10 | Greenskeepers : Lotion |

I didn't think that Silence of the Lambs put to music could be so much fun. Definitely a little head-bobbing action on this one. SHOW MORE

| 11 | Jem : They |

samples Bach's Prelude in F-Minor. Isn't that enough? Also, irresistably catchy.

Just the allusion to flaxen hair was enough, but I think it's one of the more darkly quirky OM tracks

| 13 | Neil Finn : Throw Your Arms Around Me |

I've liked this one (and all that it entails) for years and finally had the chance to put it somewhere and pretend that it means nothing sexually or romantically, which is a complete lie. SHOW MORE

| 14 | Nina Simone : You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to |

Haunting, powerful, absolutely amazing. It starts off slowly and builds up to an amazing crescendo by the end. Nina's voice is one of my favorites. SHOW MORE

Kind of boring compared to others but the recipient did just move to a large city, so it sort of works.

| 16 | Kaiser Chiefs : You Can Have It All |

I think the title is supposed to allude to something for us, but really I just thought it was an under-appreciated Kaiser Chiefs song. Slow but not too slow.

Fulfills our requisite S&G rule which has since been abandoned. Also emcompasses the whole moving away thing well.

We had already covered the Santa Esmerelda version, and I already had Nina Simone on here so her version was out. The Animals it was.

One of my favorites. Soothing, sort of picturqesque. There's never a bad time for this and the end is perfect.

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

just a note that track 15 is Joe Purdy - The City, not Nina Simone. Crap.

I fucking adore 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' as well as Eric's cover of 'Don't Let me be...'
