I made this mixtape september 2004 after I had moved to my first own apartment (after sharing my student flat with someone else some years). I started writing my thesis and wanted to be alone that time. I also became distant to some people, so I felt a bit lonely but on the other hand I felt great that time to be independent and live my own life. First I just wanted to make a mix of current favourite music but some of the songs or parts of lyrics fit to my feelings at that time, too. Most are calm and easy (indie-) pop songs.
