Comment:

"I've taken this extravagant journey ... I just came from nowhere and I'm going straight back there
"

I've been thinking about this for a while, and then threw it together today with a minimum of deliberation. I'll probably kick myself tomorrow.

But this is my life. In song. Pretty much chronologically. You can draw your own conclusions.

I admire ambitious mixes of any sort, and this sound looks downright profound. A brilliant, challenging, and probably psychologically cleansing idea. It should be a theme that every mix maker on this site should have to attempt...although that would likely cheapen the idea. Still, phenomenal work here. I don't even know 60% of these songs but I can discern some patterns in the order and just some neat choices in relation to this being the mix of your life. Some I'm jealous I didn't think to put on a mix about my own life, soon as I do that someday. This should be mix of the week, or month. Really excellent, PradaMeinHof :)

This is very nice. At first glance, I didn't get the "this is life" narrative, until I realized that it isn't "this is life" in a universal sense, but rather very personal. Good job.
