"The trouble is that you're in love with someone else."


It's actually night, and I'll be eating cereal alone at three a.m. again, but it's okay because I wont always be without you.

i’ll hum myself to sleep till i feel entirely safe in my own skin. i’ll watch the stars embrace the cool autumn air, always promising a better tomorrow. quiet and soft, like your honeysuckle eyes. cursed with loving those who i have never met. wanting to mend every broken string in them.

Sixteen tracks. I made this quiet, nighttime mix for a friend a couple of years back, and it's one of my favorites. It's got soft pop songs, jazz, the Rolling Stones, a couple of covers (one on a music box!) and flows pretty well.

Had to remove a demo version of Track 1 (Ryan Adams's Crossed Out Name), which I replaced with the album version, and the cover at the end was originally a Counting Crows bootleg but I found an equally pretty one by Kathryn Williams.

Eight tracks including music by The Album Leaf, Joe Hisaishi, and Lester Young.
Bon Nuit Part II.

Real quite, honest songs

For those of us still forced awake at ungodly hours of the night. Fourteen tracks including music by Lymbyc Systym, Jónsi and Taken By Trees.

Thirteen tracks for your late night chill enjoyment. Music by Bonobo, Coldcut featuring Dom Spitzer and Ivy.

Seems almost like a cliche to make a 1 AM mix on here--so here's mine. Nine tracks including music by Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv and Doves.
