Comment:

This one was for a lover from another country and I must admit it's a bit compromised. I fell prey to the temptation to include songs just because of the reaction I knew they would trigger (songs from a movie we had been to, that sappy Police song!), something which I'll try to avoid in the future. Plus, a token German song only works if it realy blends in. "Aurelie" doesn't quite and was only included as a comment on inter-cultural love affairs, though I doubt the recipient of this mix got the message.
So, it's somewhat flawed, but through these flaws illustrates quite well some of the pitfalls of love. But I still, those closing lines by The Smiths: couldn't have said it better.
