I made this mix for my friend, Acacia. It's chock full of songs I know she'll just love. They all share a similar mood/theme of loss or feeling lost.
tracklist
| 1 | Jimpster : B:Mine |
|
This song is a wonderful opener and would also be a great closer. It's slow and melodic but also has a nice beat to it - a lot like a modern lullaby.

| 2 | Mew : Comforting Sounds |

This song has a long but extremely well done build-up that leaves you wanting more once it's all over.

| 5 | Lily Allen : Littlest Things |
|
I'm a sucker for a well written breakup song. That being said, I don't know what I like more - Lily's wacky public antics or her accent, which is so strong that it shines through in every one of her songs.

| 6 | Clare Fader & The Vaudevillains : Left with the Thought of You |

Clare has a way of singing that makes you feel like you've been transported to a smoky piano bar of yore. That's right - YORE.

| 9 | Feist : When I Was a Young Girl |

This has to be a take on the classic "Streets of Laredo". It's too doom & gloom / campfire song not to be.

Like the opposite of the second track, this song has a lengthy but very well done wind down. As a side note, Carla Bozulich tours alone in California these days.
