Just a mix that I made for myself at home. Life is a combination of all these complicated feelings...being in love, losing someone you care about, the moments where you realize how beautiful life really is, and unbearable heartache and sadness. Put these all together, and you have life.

*excellent* opener... and I'm abashed to admit I'm a sucker for the John Mayer track as well.

Thank you! :)

"Sweet Avenue" is one of my all-time favorite songs, and the new John Mayer CD is growing on me. I'm going to see him in concert at the end of this month, so I sort of had to learn all the new songs.

As a sufferer of Bipolar Depression, this mix rings especially true to me...very well done.
