That making a cd for someone is one of my favorite things to do. I have always loved doing it but for a while I had to stop because it was so stressful trying to make that PERFECT cd that the person was going to LOVE. My perfectionist self interfered with doing what I loved to do most and I gave it up completely for a good year. When I make a cd its a big deal. Its a process that is carefully thought out. Down to the order the songs go in. I dont just make them and pass em out to just anyone.
Now I realize that worrying so much was just stupid. Whats the worst that could happen? The person doesnt like my mix and uses it as a coaster on their coffee table instead?? Chances are theyll like 2 or 3 of the songs and my job is done. If theres one thing that Im confident about its my selection in music. Most of the time people like the stuff that I recommend. Although one of my brothers friends told me that my choices in songs are depressing. That is true sometimes (depending on my mood). He also happened to see a mellow playlist that I made on his friends computer that was made for him according to what he asked for so that wasnt really fair. I almost begged him to let me make him a cd just to prove him wrong but then I realized that I was sunk regardless. He had already formed his opinion and I was a sad soul. I bet he secretly emos out in the fetal position to that playlist. hahaaha.
So... Im back in action and loving it. I love picking out tunes specifically for a person and seeing how they react to them. Nothing feels better than to hear them say that they love their cd or that the love a certain song and ask for more. So fulfilling. Sharing means caring, right?
Anyway.. Heres a really great happy tune to jam to in the car or wherever. Heavy foot tapping and bopping. Im so corny.
FORGIVE ME, I couldnt find the mp3 to stream so I found some dudes video on you tube that he mashed with photos while the song plays. ITS STILL AN AMAZING SONG!!
