Yeah, I'm trying to figure out which this day & age song to use actaully.

[jedi81]

punk rock princess (acoustic) would be pretty cool

i would go with second place victory for the this day and age song it seems the most about love when i read through all of their songs

this providence have a good song about love called catching my breath from "our worlds divorce"

let me step in here.

you sound too young and emo to have done anything with this girl but touch her boobs. this mix can change all of that. a good mix not only conveys feelings, but it also has song or ideas that can boost you up to the next level.

1. bob dylan- the man in me
2. the international noise conspiracy- only lovers will be left alive
3. the good life- album of the year
4. weezer- no other one
5. rise against- like the angel
6. the postal service- be still my heart
7. cursive- sierra
8. the decemberists- july july!
9. the weakerthans- left and leaving
10. elliott smith- everything reminds me of her (this will score you MAD points)
11. hot hot heat- talk to me, dance with me
12. jawbreaker- do you still hate me?
13. the lawrence arms- brick wall views
14. the magnetic fields- if there's such a thing as love

now bear in mind, all good mix cds end with a show stopper. so make it long, make it amazing and make it fucking forever you misguided emo kid....

15. pink floyd- wish you were here

this mix could get even the most religious emo girl out of her boy shorts and onto your bed. in fact, i think ill go make it and get some tonight.

oh and p.s.- seriously make her this cd. she will worship you.

Wow.. funny.

Anyways, I don't think im as Young or emo as you think. I'm not scene at all and I have a pretty good varitey of music. I am just using like pop punk emo stuff since it's slower and easier listening. Plus she listens to like pop music, she doesnt listen to alot of the music I listen too, so I can honestly tell you she woudln't appreciate: bob dylan, weezer, rise against, the postal service, cursive, jawbreaker and the lawrence arms.

Also.. that's not the mix's intent to get with her. I'm just not going to see her for a little while after friday, so I'm making her a mix but I want it to be sweet.

[The Revisionist]

Weezer is the definition of pop music...

I dont think I ment to list that, in anycase. I think I'm good with what I have now anyways.

Pete Yorn - Strange Condition
Ben Folds - Emaline
Damien Rice - Cannonball
David Gray - This Years Love
Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You
Ben Kweller - Falling
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
Josh Rouse - Sunshine (Come On Lady)
Elliott Smith - Everything Reminds Me Of Her
Jack Johson - Bubble Toes
Pete Yorn - Girl Like You


Theres the singer songwriter approach, I have plenty of good ones from bands too. But these are some of my favorites.

first off, i guess irony is dead.
second off, if i can make these songs work for a girl who loves chingy, i think she will be down. this is an amazing mix cd for a girl.
thrid, if you are on these message boards, you are at least a little bit tate core.
fourth, i can almost guarantee you havent heard these songs if she likes "pop" music. these are all pop songs. the larry arms song on here is more "emo" than almost anything jimmy eat world has ever done.

i think you havent heard any of these songs, because you arent making any sense.

either way, youre welcome for my help, as this is probably the best mix cd ever.

[leafsacc]

How about "Drawing Board" by Mest?

[jedi81]

damien rice-cannonball rockz:thumbsup:

[xgloryxfadesx27]

Mabye start it off with 'The Mixed Tape' by Jack's Mannequin. It seems like it would fit, and that's what I would do if I had a girlfriend. And mabye put 'Dark Blue' on there as well. Mabye throw in a little 'Nose Over Tail' by Alkaline Trio? It could work. Or perhaps 'Clavicle'...

Have fun.

[ImJerry]

so I can honestly tell you she woudln't appreciate: bob dylan, weezer, rise against, the postal service, cursive, jawbreaker and the lawrence arms...maybe you should find another girl.

[jpgretzky15]

good songs for a nice lady, of all genres:

no use for a name-international you day
blink 182-going away to college
cauterize-promise me
common-love is
coldplay-yellow
the cure-just like heaven
eric clapton-if i coud change the world
face first-goodnight new york
face first-one for the road
fenix tx-a song for everyone
good riddance-always
journey-dont stop believing
juliana theory-dont push love away
mae- the everglow
plain white t's-fireworks
plain white ts-all that we needed
jamisonparker-heres everything ive always meant to say
jimmy eat world-the world you love
jimmy eat world-a praise chorus
blink 182-josie
avenged sevenfold-warmness on the soul
blink 182-im lost without you

sorry if some were mentioned, i tried to see what she wouldnt like from what you said, and not include those.

[moronindisguise]

try The Used - Blue and Yellow : ))

[actionandaction]

3. the good life- album of the year
6. the postal service- be still my heart

those 2 tracks are sure to work.
and i see you had the decemberists in there. i usually throw in decemberists-we go down together.
excellent.

[AlexLikestoRock]

any Spill Canvas. I would marry any guy that gave me a mix with any of their songs.
