Comment:

This is the most important mix I've ever made and the one I spent the longest on and put the most thought into it. It went through more changes than I could possibly keep track of. It's for a girl named Lucy. The title breaks down into 18 syllables, the same as the number of tracks, so in the liner notes the tracks are listed as their corresponding syllables. And inside the booklet,corresponding to each track, is a piece of poetry written with her in mind somewhere on New York City Subways and City Hall Park and the corner of her block after we said goodnight and I couldn't wait to write it down, and each poem starts with the syllable of the track it's for (for example track 8's poem starts with "Ex"). So the full title of the album, I suppose, is the entire first poem for the first track, which after some hesitation I decided to put here..
Reversing your blood flow could explode your heart
(and this could too, so go on),
let the crimson river
flow back the way it came
and one day the dam will break like tidal waves
upon the surface of your secret face;
we'll see a smile like water falling through a
red sunrise,
as your lips let loose the light in your eyes-
hold the pose until the core is in view-
and feel the sum of all you knew and know
filling the volume of your endless soul
and this may make your heart explode,
so let it flow, let it flow, let it flow,
love, let it flow, let it flow, let it flow

So *this* is what the Lucy mix turned out to be. I like it. All the more so because I looooove that G&R song.
