Comment:

For once, a mix I've made for MYSELF. This is about being in love with your best friend, who happens to be already taken--a situation I'm unfortunately embroiled in right now. These songs convey just about every possible emotion I'm feeling about my predicament. I like how this mix gets more "serious" as it goes. It starts out as one of those "oooh, I've got a little crush" mixes and then by the time Black Lab and VAST come around, it's filled with passion and desperation. I promised myself as I was compiling the tracklisting for this one that I would avoid the cloying, sentimental songs but I couldn't resist "At My Most Beautiful." Now if life were only as good as it's depicted in the Del Amitri song...

Yup, "at my most beautiful" is beautiful. Too bad about the girl being taken - I feel for you, even though I'm married.
