Comment:

since I can't afford to buy her anything, I decided to make her a mix tape. this is going to be tough, though. a lot of these songs make me cry, because of it having to do with my mom's recuperation from cancer. some of the songs are just pretty ones from artists she likes. the title is from 'looking for a way out'. who knows if I can even make this...

That Oasis song is 1 of my favourites- kudos. + that Del Amitri song could make the world melt if only people knew. This is gorgeous, girl. Out.

Yeah, I second what Dru said about that Oasis track. Love the Travis, Beatles, and Ashcroft choices too. Your mom will love anything you give her.

Awesome mix Abigail. I hope you mom is recovering well. My Dad is recovering from lung cancer so I can relate in some way to your feelings, making a mixed tape is a great way to purge them. Don' forget to take care of yourself. Bye 4 now.

Great mix. I absolutely love that Old 97's tune and I love the older Guster before they basically became "The Guster".
