This mix took me a while to make even though it's been done a million times before and I'm still not satisfied with it. I describe this mix as the "most beautiful songs" mix because the songs on it (mostly) have a similar, mellow, gorgeous sound to them and whenever I listen to the mix I feel sick at the end because it's so sweet. I know I repeated some of the artists (whoops) but there were just some tracks I couldn't leave off. Please enjoy and let me know what you think (and I'm definitely open to suggestions!).

This is the most gorgeous song. The lyrics, arrangement, and definitely Neko Case's amazing voice are all fantastic. I Wish I Was the Moon was the inspiration for this mix. Many people know Neko's new CD better, but this "oldie" is simply amazing. SHOW LESS
