I'm not gonna describe this one. Or... Well. I need this kind of mix in my life. That is why I made it. Er. Just a note: This lacks a serious amount of Radiohead... They're all so good, their songs, I had a difficult time choosing... SORRY. Also: I didn't know whether to go with "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" or "Asleep" (both by The Smiths, obviously), so I put both on. Plus: I am not sure how to place above-mentioned "Asleep", since I think the place of this track exactly does a lot to the whole mood of this mix tape, adding and making it so much more cryptic. If I open the mix with it, then the rest of the tape would be an after-life thing. If I, on the other hand, close it with "Asleep", the journey ends there. See? I hope you get it. Anyway I put it as the opening track this time, cause I would hate to think that's it over afterwards. And: The closer for this mix was going to be "Uyan" by Turkish band Mor Ve Ötesi. But because this particular song is part of a 27 minute long track that includes some rehearsal stuff and about 10 minutes of absolutely nothing, I couldn't fit it in the mix tape. I was only going to use the first five minutes of the track anyway (where the actual song is to be found), but I guess that's a no-go. Oh well.

4 Death Cab for Cutie : I WIll Follow You Into the Dark
I don't think I could explain why this MUST be on this mix. But if you know this song, you will know how it fits with the rest. I also considered "Summer Skin" for this mix, but ended up with this instead.

I also listen to camille sometimes when i'm falling asleep, but i don't know Nouvelle Vague. I'll try and check them out

I like this. HOWEVER: most people around these parts don't take too kindly to My Chemical Romance. Not all. But most. Just a fair warning.
