Requited love // Valentine's Day // Lovey-Dovey Mix
For 김지은♥

Note to the requester: What a fitting theme for the season. I tried to put in as many different styles as possible--slow, fast, happy--because isn't that really what requited love feels like?

1. The Wannadies- You and Me Song
Lyrics: Now we watch TV/ Til we fall asleep/ Not very exciting/ But it's you and.../ Me and we'll always be together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4D5N0vqFXw

2. Hope- Who am I to Say?
Lyrics: Color me blue, I'm lost in you

3. Urbandub- First of Summer
Comments: I hope you don't mind a little rock. o: This song (I think) perfectly captures the exhilaration of being young, carefree, reckless, and in love. (And it's awesome to listen to in the car, windows down)
Lyrics: Parked car/ This night sky/ Makes city lights shine like diamonds/ Our song plays on the radio~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxBPHFu5W-M

4. Taylor Swift- Love Story
Comments: Love songs just don't get as good as this. It makes me tear up, especially towards the end. XD Gorgeous video to boot. And Taylor Swift herself is eye candy.
Lyrics: Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel/ This love is difficult, but it's real
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwYK_b2BvM

5. Iron and Wine- Such Great Heights
Comments: This is a cover of The Postal Service song; the difference is that this one is slower and more calming, while The Postal Service original is faster and more upbeat.
Lyrics: I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles/ in our eyes are mirror images and when/ we kiss they're perfectly aligned
Iron and Wine cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKGHkBComjM
The Postal Service original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMOkfI7wCrI

6. The Orion Experience- Obsessed With You
Comments: An amusing (and humorous) take on the love theme. Light and happy!
Lyrics: Your love is better than cocaine/ I need you more than oxygen/ Oh God I've got it bad again/ An o-b-s-e-s-s-i-o-n.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D75QjUmpDo

7. Clazziquai- Sweety
Comments: I use this song to bait people into Kpop. XD
Lyrics: When I open my eyes, today for some reason I feel/ good like the late night phone conversation last night/ Your sleepy voice still lingers in my ear/ It makes we wait. (translated by Aheeyah.com)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nzv-tFUvIM

I hope you liked the mix! I certainly had a good time making it.

This looks fun! Plus I am in serious need of new music at the moment.

Brief intro about you: I'm just a quirky, open-minded, free-thinking person.
The theme of the mix: Hmm. I like songs that are thought-provoking, I guess. Like about life, how things don't always work out the way we want them to, growing up, etc. Love is alright, too, but I like the songs that don't directly say how much they dislike or like a person. I prefer when comparisons are made so that there's a fuller meaning...if that makes sense?

Modest Mouse - Little Motel
