So, there is this girl that I fancy. She's intelligent,super cute and stuff. She already has pretty good taste in music too.
I want to make her a mix cd.
What are some good songs that would make her swoon?
thanks,
-
You've got to give us a little bit more info, chuckles.
I've got mixes which will have you cornered, fighting off adoring females with a chair and a bullwhip but they'd probably be wasted on a girl who only likes IDM.
What's she like, what kind of music does she like?
-
Rule 1: if you're making a mix you have to include at least one song from 69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields.
It's the law.
-
He's right you know.
-
make sure it's Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits
-
Choosing a song from 69 Love Songs is very hard, as most of them are completely inappropiate for most mixes.
-
'Grand Canyon' is a decent shout. But it's gotta be in context with the rest of the mix really.
-
you mean the song that says "I am sorry that I am not good enough for you even though I once was"?
-
Perhaps Safe and Sound by Hawksley Workman. Or The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin (that's what I'm listening to right now and it strikes me as a good one, anyway).

I think you meant to say that most mixes are completely inappropriate for 69 Love Songs.
69 Love Songs in never wrong.

Seriously though there are a few outright happy love songs on there: "A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off" (though the line about "my wife doesn't understand me" might confuse the girl you're doing the mix for if she's super-attentive to lyrics), "The Book of Love" (though the last line is a marriage proposal - too soon, perhaps?), "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing". Probably a few more on the discs 2 and 3 but I don't listen to those as much.
-
I wanna show I like you but I'm acting all shy
AHHHH C'MON FUCK A GUY
-
The b-side version of Lover's Spit is so much better, fuck.
-
I included the song "I Love You" by Andrew Jackson Jihad in the first mixtape I ever made for my girlfriend. we're coming up on our one year anniversary here pretty quick.
clearly this song is unstoppable
-
look i mean i don't know this girl but if she isn't down to fucking to swans then she probably doesn't know how to fuck, so you should act accordingly
-
youtube mix
Hey, this is actually pretty good.
-
Okay,
well she's in university, likes Iron and Wine and Tegan and Sara and is slightly taller then me. The last one doesn't really matter though.
-
you wish it didn't matter (i kid).
some song by okkervil river is probably a good bet.
I was going to suggest some Frightened Rabbit but then I listened to their lyrics properly and they're all about heart-ache and break-ups so maybe not.
-
some song by okkervil river is probably a good bet.
It's true, nothing says "When we inevitably break it will damn near destroy me, but I'll survive thanks to the emotional scar tissue I will have built up by then thanks to the acute pyschic damage I accrued from every exquisitely painful minute of our co-dependant relationship" like an Okkervil River song.
-

Yes. It shows humility.

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligiable, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the night
You really ought to listen to 2 and 3 again though. Though not as consistent as 1 they have the best songs.
Yes. It shows humility.

I am pretty sure that a song that is recriminating an existing lover for being unable to be a good match is a good song to be on a mix for a girl you are interested in.
-
I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers.
-
Put some Camera Obscura on there.
-
Thanks for recommendations! She will be all over me. :-P (not really, we are taking it slow haha)
-
thanks dude i needed a new sig quote
-
If you really love her you'll put some GG Allin on there.
-
@Melodic...haha your welcome.
GG Allin scares the shit out of me.
:/

"Monkey & Bear" by Joanna Newsom
that song is sort of about love....but also about forcing your loved one to dance for change so you can eat and not work, and then when she finally takes a bath in a cave and gets clean you tell her she is a filthy animal and smells bad. then she...transforms from a bear to a human?....or something. I don't know what happens at the end of that song
...actually...maybe don't use that one
-
You could go with Sawdust & Diamonds though.
-
Some City and Colour to impress the girlies. "The Girl" is probably a good start.

Hermann Loves Pauline (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSNWgx2i_qE)
It's a love song about Einstein's parents. It has one of most awesome, infectious choruses of all time.
-
oh hell yes, if you put Super Furry Animals on this mixtape you will gain so much music nerd cred
