Comment:

This is the 2nd of 2 CDs I made for Yuka, my x-gf, when I went to visit her in Japan back in August. I came very close to not giving them to her because she very nearly refused to see me. However, we got together in the end. We had dinner, drinks, she took the CDs, + we became friends. I love her all the more now, but in a pleasant new way that doesn't result in bouts of self-deprecation + insomnia. The idea behind the 2nd CD was forgiveness + the inevitability of love; ie. I'm going to love you regardless of how YOU feel, so please understand. Again, since I was working within the certain confines- using the same artists (in the same order) for both CDs- I had to make some sacrifices in regards to flow (+ occasionally mood) for the sake of theme. These are songs we heard together, songs I played for her, songs we listened to as we fell asleep together. These are songs that made me think about her long after I had left the country; these are songs that STILL make me think about her. Quick side note: this is the same girl I made my "Fallen" mix for back in the day. I hope some of you like it. Out.

Groovy concept- using the same artists, in the same order, different tracks, to convey different moods. He shoots, he scores...definately one of your best. Cheers! -AF.
