General- You Say Friends, I Say Strangers
Title: You Say Friends, I say Strangers
Theme: General
Subject: My First Semester
Notes: This mix is about my first semester. I felt distant from myself and my new found friends. Also my home sickness I think many college students experience. I also created a banner, front art and back art. I am actually pretty pleased with my art for once.

Darling I’m down and lonely
When with the fortunate only
I’ve been looking for something else
Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do
Let’s go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
Metric
|Help, I’m Alive
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
…
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
If you're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
Marina and The Diamonds
|I’m not a Robot
You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled
…
Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Death Cab for Cutie
|Your Heart is an Empty Room
Cause all you see is where else you could be,
When you're at home
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone
And all you see is where else you could be,
when you're at home,
There on the street,
are so many possibilities to not be alone
The National
|Green Gloves
Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they’re staying glued together,
I have arms for them
Manchester Orchestra
|I’ve Got Friends
I tried to do it all for you
it didn't do anything for me
'cause I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
Regina Spektor

It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song.
You can't believe it; you were always singing along.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to feel the beat.
…
You spend half of your life trying to fall behind.
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to move your feet.
Coldplay
|Lost!
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Adele
|Hometown Glory (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix)
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?
No, and thank you, please madam, I ain't lost, just wandering"
Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Adele
|Hometown Glory (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix)
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Thao and the Get Down Stay Down
|Big Kid Table
But I got reasons
I have been excused
I want to reconvene
I want to tell the truthThat you are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely
The Avett Brothers
|I and Love and You
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay, to live like that
So i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks
For never to returnAh Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake, my head it spins
Stars
|Today is Going to Be Better, I Swear
When can't get up to the cold morning light
But you don't get to sleep in, still dreaming
And everybody only wants to fight
You're up against never being right
When the worries of the world hold your feet
And there's little left to believe in
Ryan Adams
|Note to Self: Don’t Die
I'm as blue
I'm as blue as the ocean is true, it's just reflections of the sky
I'm as cold
I'm as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
I'm as sick
I'm as crass as the things in your past, you wished that you could let them go
