Tuning In & Out of Love:
A Mix by Jamora
Download here!
I originally made this mix to be played in reverse. Starting from complete bitterness, the listener will be taken backward in time-- visiting the various stages of grief, then going back to the break-up, next the period of doubt (but knowing you're totally going to get dumped), and finally returning to the lovey-dovey stages when you thought "Geeze, this person is amazing!" No, they probably weren't. You were too blinded by your hormones. I know. So here is my angst-ridden portion of the mix, complete with some charming (but angsty) pop songs and classy hits.
1. The Police - "So Lonely"
"Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role"
2. Apples In Stereo - "I Can't Believe"
"She come and she goes at sunrise
She come and she goes when I'm yawning
She come and she goes, that's not nice"
3. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - "Think I Wanna Die"
"Think I wanna die if you don't stay
drop dead in place, you can forget it
Carry a torch for days,
I'm gonna let it burn"
4. PAS/CAL - "You Were Too Old For Me"
"Could've called you if I wanted
There's a number to your room
I thought it would be so much smarter
To just stay in"
5. Nick Lowe - "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass"
"I love the sound of breaking glass
Especially when I'm lonely
I need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new"
6. The Magic Numbers - "Love Me Like You"
"All those years gone by,
I only want to find a way to make it hard for you"
7. Cake - "She'll Come Back to Me"
"...to hear her footsteps on my walkway
she never came,
she never even called"
8. Gang of Four - "Damaged Goods"
"I'm kissing you goodbye!"
9. Peter Bjorn & John - "Let's Call It Off"
"When you decided to knock on my door,
did you remember what happened before?
It just didn't sparkle, it just didn't glow"
10. The Futureheads - "Skip to the End"
"I would skip to the end
Decide if it's worth going through with
Skip to the last paragraph before we start
Said a happy ending or a broken heart"
11. Sondre Lerche - "I Cannot Let You Go"
"And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend or make up something new
You can push me away but I cannot let you go"
12. The Wannadies - "You and Me Song"
"You and me always
And forever
It was always you and me always"
But not anymore... forget it! Ugh!
