im going to see if this works. no need to circulate or anything. just an idea i have.
itunes. shuffle songs. first 15 songs. one sentence, as vague/clear as you wish it, describing what that songs makes you think of. first thought, so save yourself.. be vague!

1 Love's Proof, Tracy Chapman-- This song reminds me of the ship. Tracy Chapman always does. And this song is so achingly sad and hopeful at the same time that it always confuses me about how I feel.
2 Diamonds On The Inside, Ben Harper-- The ship. Again. And Tyler.
3 Lonesome Valley, The Fairfield Four-- It reminds me of summer and warm winds. Why? I don't know.
4 Roses & Hips, Keren Ann-- It reminds me of dancing and the time I spent laughing with Danny on his boat.
5 Boats and Birds, Gregory and the Hawk-- Star Island 06. Bethany, Dave, Zach, Nate, Eric, Sarah, Emily, Lee, etc.
6 Prince of Spades, Dispatch-- The first time I ever talked to Tyler. Driving alone at night. [Going 86.]
7 Old Love, Eric Clapton-- Jason, the ship, Toronto. Dancing with my father, on his toes, when I was a kid.
8 The Drugs Don't Work, The Verve-- Graduating.
9 Nobody Knows Me At All, The Weepies-- Erin, Erin, Erin. The ship [of course] and those who know me best
10 Calm Down Baby, Stars-- How I feel about the ship, about a certain person who has jumped back into my life, how I was in seventh grade
11 Bad Things To Such Good People, Pedro the Lion-- Libraries on fire and Iraq
12 Everything Happens To Me, Billie Holiday-- Cigars, running at night, new lovers.
13 Prelude XII in f-moll, Bach [Well Tempered Clavier, book 1]-- Peace, sleeping soundly, four in the morning.
14 Standard Bitter Love Song number 8, The Mountain Goats-- What everyone feels when they don't want to let go because they're just too angry.
15 The Biggest Lie, Elliott Smith-- How unfortunate it is when one of your friend loves someone who doesn't love them back.
