Well my mix CD is complete (if you saw the other thread you might know that I was asking for suggestions, but I wanted to do a new thread cuz that one was mainly a help thread). 22 songs of emo goodness. Heh.
My girlfriend suggested the amusing name "Emo Romance'" for it. So that's what I shall call it. (btw this name is a joke...I'm not really that xcorely emo)

The CD is about a foreign exchange student from England named Emily (yeah yeah but I HAD to tie the songs in together somehow heh), and a guy who lives in America...who is never mentioned by name.
The first four tracks are pretty obvious. It's from the first meeting leading up to the first date they have.
Tracks 5-7 are the "feeling good" part of it...heh it doesn't last long, but what emo romance does? Hands Down is the perfect song for the "perfect night" and basically perfect ending of the "First Date'. "Emily" is the guy's feelings for the girl, and how he hopes all this time he's waited for someone is worth it here. Emily brings him to his knees like no other girl ever has. He's overcome with emotion...which leads into "The Night Will Go As Follows", another perfect night...
Tracks 8-12 are when things start going hill. After the perfect earlier stages of the relationship, Emily begins pressuring our "hero" for sex and stuff of that nature. He feels as if he perhaps isn't ready for this intense of a relationship, and also wonders in the back of his head if she really just wants him for sex, and she doesn't feel the same way. "Sunday Drive" is the painful realization that the communication is gone, he realizes something is wrong here. "Saints and Sailors" continues with that realization, and mentions that basically the only time they ever DO communicate is when they argue. The final line of the chorus, "and your eyes say the joke's on me" is foreshadowing to what he finds out in the next song. In "Cute Without the E" he discovers she is cheating on him. He is obviously angry and hurt about it, which leads in to "You're So Last Summer", when they break up. She tells him there's a ton of guys out there like him, and all he wants to know is that she'll miss him when he leaves. He breaks up with her.
Tracks 13-15 is the angry part of the album, where he is pissed off beyond words at Emily. He hates her, and wishes nothing but the worst upon her and her other guy. In the Alk3 song he says he doesn't love her anymore, and he never did. In "Jude Law" she returns to England, and he has a bitter sendoff and tons of bad wishes for her.
16-20 are the sadder tracks. He transforms from angry to depressed and feeling worthless. All he wants by track 20 is somebody else to take his mind off her.
Track 21 is his moving on anthem...he realizes how bad everything was, and he just wants to forget about it and move on.
Track 22 is his message to her, how she made him see something in himself he never saw before. He says they were both the fault of the relationship failing. He says it was fun, but they were young and stupid and didn't know what they were getting themselves into. He ends the album with the line "But the truth is I've found something new...and she easily towers over you"...he's moved on, and found something better...at least, for now.
So yeah there's my writeup. I was bored...and I just thought it was cool to put it all together in story kinda form. This was a lot of fun doing this. Thanks to "copenovember" as he pretty much provided me with a basic outline for this.
