I know, I know. Asking what to put on a mix is like asking what to write in a love letter. But I've been wanting to put together a long-distance relationship themed CD for my SO for a while, and (after searching and searching through my mp3 collection) have only come up with five tracks. They are:<br> <br> The Beatles - Got to Get You Into My Life<br> The Hollies - Pay You Back With Interest<br> The Marvelettes - Please Mr. Postman<br> Built to Spill - The Weather<br> The Mountain Goats - Sax Rohmer #1<br> <br> I've eliminated some options because I've used them on mixes before (Rilo Kiley's My Slumbering Heart, Songs: Ohia's Lioness, various other Beatles songs). It's been a few years and I guess I'm terribly rusty at this. The relationship is established and steady (6 years), which eliminates many "you live far away but we've just met and I think you're cute" songs. As you can see, my tastes run toward 60s rock and indie rock. The internet isn't offering up anything but that "Delilah" song by Plain White T's. So, mefites, any other (better) suggestions? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.100642 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:37:38 -0800 ldr longdistancerelationship mix mixcd mixedcd mixedtape mixtape PhoBWanKenobi
