So... this mix is for a girl that I knew in college. We'd harbored slight crushes for each other then. We hardly even saw each other for a few years, just occasional messaging whenever there'd be a dream about the other, which happened routinely. It was sometimes sexual, but often not. I guess that was more of a factor of both of us just being very busy with our own things and having significant others.

And then last New Year's, things kinda culminated after a lot of build-up. It's not like we planned it out, but there was somewhat of a feeling that we'd have a little chat about our friendship since I was moving to Chicago. It's just that we ended up doing a little more than that, but it happened in this very odd and respectful way. There were no awkward feelings afterward and still haven't been. I was driving out to Chicago after New Year's and heard one of these songs in my car and thought of her instantly. There were a few lines that just seemed so perfect. And that song sprung a few other ideas and this mix eventually came of it. Not all of the songs on this mix are in respect to us, but those that aren't are songs that I know she'd enjoy.
