Comment:

This mix was a present for a very dear long-term ex. We met tonight for dinner, to catch up on each other's lives. We've both graduated from the pedestrian pain and despair that accompanies any breakup and moved on to the one-glass-too-many of fond sentimentality, to the warm and buzzy reflection of what we used to be, when what was next was a leap and not yet a burden.

I wanted to choose songs that were recorded after we broke up (with the exception of "Blue" and "Carry Me Ohio", included for sentimental reasons, the latter of which was, in my estimation, bastardized in its inclusion on the Last Kiss soundtrack).

Special mention to natalyesaurus for genius & Thieves, listening to your recommendation was the inpiration for this mix.
