Comment:

this is the first in a series of nearly a dozen mixes i made over the course of a year for a girl i was involved with, long-distance, for about two & a half years. i initially planned on moving across the country for her & we planned on getting married, before she cheated on me multiple times & left me for another man right after i forgave her. talk about bittersweet. as far as i'm concerned, this is the only one worth posting.

This is fabulous, but sad in places. Dinner at Eight is a peculiar pick for a romantic mix, but I like it. I do.

I think that this is a really super good mix, it maintains the mood real well, too.

The Smiths tune and tracks 10-16 are perfect. Perfect, perfect.
