Comment:

The byproduct of another mix, this one started when I looked for Marvin Gaye's "I Want You", typed in the title in itunes and received 141 results. Taking away "I" and "you" got me to a total of 282. I tried to break it down from there.
So, while it works rather smoothly on the surface-level of the titles, stylistically it's more of a roller-coaster-ride which, in a way, reflects certain aspects of wanting one thing or another.
