Comment:

This is for a girl who leaves soon for god knows how long. I'm her best friend and I love her, but I won't say anything. I don't want to wreck it all. I'm going to miss her. So this is a tape for her to listen to and think of me, her friends and her home.



The title comes from a late night walk we had from a party. She was slightly tipsy and she looked to the sky and asked "What's that really bright star up there?" she was pointing to Orion. So I said "Orion? You want it? It's yours."



I know my mixes tend to fall apart flow wise at the end, but I wanted one side of relatively upbeat numbers and the other to be relaxing and for sleeping to.

I LOVE this mix, especially the smashing pumkins bookends. and that line you used, if she didn't fall into your arms right away, then there is no hope for any of us. I wis I could come up with something as good as that.

She didn't quite fall in to my arms. Well, she did, but because she passed out. As I say, she was rather tipsy. I didn't mind carrying her home. Oh well...
