Comment:
I decided to craft a mix that somewhat reflects the tumult of emotions I experienced during the first few months while going through a separation and divorce. These are the songs I was actually listening to while wallowing in self-pity, sadness and loneliness. And drinking too much, too often, of course.It's a depressing mix, but I've gotten past that despairing part, so future mixes ought to be a bit more upbeat. I promise!
A lot of the songs on here are ones I love regardless of the context, like the Colin Hay, the Nina Simone (one of the best. songs. ever.), Bill Withers... Great, great stuff. Download the RAR from Divshare. Hope you enjoy!

sorry to hear of your troubles, but this is a killer first posting. looking forward to the listen - and welcome to the site. hope the upbeat stuff is also on the way.
1-4,12,14 & 16 are hightlights for me. Welcome to the site and keep the mixes coming. Peace be with you.
Very nice. However I feel compelled to suggest that she may have left because you listen to Sting.

Sad situation. Great looking mix. Alma did kind of nail it there !
listened yesterday: great opener, Bill Withers pick, Mike Doughty... that Nina Simone song is a full experience every time. Chris Isaak is usually so mellow, but here he sounds madder than a hornet. thanks for the link.
This looks FANTASTIC.
I'm looking forward to hearing it. The "Misery and Gin" song looks excellent.
Sorry about your woes; however.
