Dear Friend [a Perks of Being a Wallflower fanmix]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
So I got one more request over on tumblr for the fanmix meme the other day. Youcancallmelife sent me an ask requesting a mix for the Perks of Being a Wallflower. I read Perks the year it came out (which I might have been too young to be reading at the time, but in some ways it was absolutely the right time to for me to read it). The Perks of Being a Wallflower was an incredibly important book to adolescent me and I really loved getting this request (and now I'm kinda drowning in nostalgia, haha!)
Fun fact: This mix is under 60 minutes and split into a side A and side B so you can transfer it to a cassette tape if you want to! I know that's what I'm going to do.
I hope you enjoy the mix!

Dear Friend
a fanmix for
the Perks of Being a Wallflower
Side A:
1. Kaiser Chiefs - The Letter Song
I could write every day, every night
And tell you how I'm getting on
2. Belle & Sebastian - Wrapped up in Books
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
3. Elliott Smith - Blackbird
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise
4. Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Midnight City
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
5. Noah and the Whale - Paradise
So she ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of para-para-paradise
6. Jeremy Warmsley - Temptation
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
7. The National - The Geese Of Beverly Road
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
8. Radical Face - Doorways [Touch The Sky EP Version]
I tried to count the stars while in my bed
To keep the thoughts of monsters from my head
Side B:
9. The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see life
10. Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too
11. Xiu Xiu - Asleep
Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up on my own anymore
12. Bon Iver - Perth
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
13. Loney, Dear - Young Hearts
You think they run away from you
You think you are the worst kind
14. The Middle East - Fools Gold
'Cause life is change and change is good, I know
And you are good; I love you
15. TV On The Radio - Heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
16. Michael Brook - Charlie's Last Letter
This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story
You are alive
