800+ mixes with songs by “Colin+Hay”

People sometimes come unexpectedly into your life, & do silly things that make them impossible to let leave even when they have to. You became the lightness in my chest, the smoke I so desperately tried to inhale, and the wine that stained my lips. You became the trap door in my gut, the lump in my throat, and all the feelings I could never put into words. You became my could have been, no, my should have been. Until we meet again, I'll be waiting impatiently.

Whether it be for studying, a breakup or to remember someone. Let these songs take you away...

My favourite song in this mix is probably 'Sweetheart I Ain't Your Christ' by Joshua T Pearson. Nearly 11 minutes of a man and his guitar really poring their soul into one song.

Josh T Pearson, Bright Eyes, Ryan Adams and 35 more new but similar artists to discover....

A mix of songs that make you want to dance, relax, think or just be happy. A mix for the shower, the ride to work or when you lie in bed. Up-tempo, slow, jazzy, theres something there for all ;) just lay back, or stand up, or jump around and enjoy ;)

The playlist I had made for myself to listen to once my Summer started. Relief! The fox knows where it's at!

This is for you. The best four years of my life. We're all graduating and growing up. I'll never forget any of you. Thanks, Syracuse.

I FUCKING LOVE SCRUBS!... and we all know they have some of the most amazing music to be shown on television. Even after my heart has been ripped out after it ended, I still like to reminisce on the amazingness that is Scrubs. I hope these bring back as many good memories of the show as they do for me.

"The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater."

In perfect lucidity
Came the moment.
Sweet tenderness
And bitter extremes.

For fear of fear itself,
We were dangerously confident
Walking the line between insanity
And an Indie hipster flick.

But now these whiskey cokes,
And melancholy lullabies,
These sweet dreams of sleep,
Are all that let me fall.
