alright so making a mixtape for a friend to listen to while he endures a breakup. i figure its better to give him shit that'll jerk those tears out and heal him rather than make something he'll not really be feeling.
so far I got a little iron and wine, ray lamontagne, mumford and sons, lumineers.

This song can have a very averse affect on someone enduring a breakup, especially if the break up involved infidelity. This song had me all kinds of fucked up when I was going through a break up. To this day, I still rarely listen to it. It is one of the rawest, purest painfully depressing songs ever written. When his voice cracks at one point, it's just like, woah.

I never felt better after a break up than the time I spent an entire day listening to this however I could - iPod, home stereo, jukebox, wherever whenever.

like a "Babies Making Babies" album that was geared towards breakups?
"Babies breaking hearts?"
"Babies making tears?"
I dunno even know if he shows himself around here anymore. I been gone years and my guess is he's so busy with late night television and elvis costello photo shoots he dont come around anymore.
