Comment:

I made this mix to work in two ways; as something for someone to lisdten to when they are alone and want to wallow in their own sadness/lonliness, and as a make-out album for couples. I believe it two be successful in working for both these situations. Also, some of these songs are just so emotionally charged, and some have become, for me, attached to significant emotionally charged times.
Oh, that and Human Nature is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
and, again, the tracks have been mixed together, which i think helps to create one single moment.
