Comment:

after some rather frustrating & humbling events in recent months (& years, for that matter), this compilation has been created to express my feelings... in a good way. i really had to search thru all my cds & mp3s for fitting titles, & sometimes i used a track alone just for the title... but regardless of what the song's about, i tried to find songs that had some kind of similar message or line. it had started as an unintentional 80s compilation, & then i found others... & feel free to suggest more for another mix :) i've included way too fitting quotes that i have to keep reminding myself. most of the songs on here can be looked up on YouTube.

1. "you'll see that nobody... has ever really ripped you off, it's all in your mind..."
2. "liiiiiife's a con a con a con... if you think you can't go on... go on & on & on..."
3. "nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no... i got to keep on movin" (lol, i know...cheesy :-D yet it's the ONLY 80s song here that i actually remember hearing then)
4. "& iiiiiiiiii iiii-iii-iiiii'm sick of it all"
5. "it's pleasure & pain... no loss, no gain...", & then later "this madness, this laughter... outward feelings i can't control"
6. "don't give up... you're not beaten yet... don't give up... i know you can make it good", & pretty much the whole damn lyrics
7. "through the pain, and through the grief... through the lies, through the storms... through the cries, and through the wars..."
8. "this is the day... your life will surely change... this is the day... when things fall into plaaaaace" yes, it's that damn M&M's commercial song... but i knew it waaaay b4hand :-D
9. "disappointed, once more... disillusioned, encore..." this is more of a relationship kinda song, but the title fits... & since it's 1 of my favorite songs period, i'm always looking for a reason to put it on a mix :-D
10. "you see it should've been mee..... it could've been meeee..." ohhhh, this song hits at home when it came out while i was in high school (early 90s, if you must know)
11. who doesn't know these lyrics... i know it's about suicide, but it's too fitting for any negative situation; at least when it came out in high school, it was at a happier part of my high school life
12. "so i'm all surrounded... by the things i thought i'd put away..." well, that's kinda for me to remind myself of past things i wish i could put behind me that seem to distract me from things in general... plus the title alone in my case refers to expectations of certain situations
13. "sometimes you suuuuuulk"... speaks for itself ;-)
14. "this is a lowwwww... but it won't hurt youuuuu..."
15. another high school song... & hey, i need some comic relief in this seemingly serious mix... cuz this is how i've felt when i screw up something stupid :-P
16. "ain't it just a bitch, what a pain... well it's all a crying shame... what left to do but complain, better find someone to blame"... seems to fit :-P
17. well, i wish i were... the title's fitting though
18. "dream on.... dream ooooonnnn...." seems to dangle in front of my mind when i get too ambitious
