Hope/Despair in 3D SOUND

As mentioned in the previous post, here is the playlist meant to tug at heart strings and throw the emotions through the ringer. At first I was going to try and alternate between the Hope songs and Despair ditties, until I realized that depending on my mood one would elicit the other and so on.

I expect the list to change as new songs are discovered and old ones discarded. If you only grab two make it both Aqualung covers.

So download, rip, or slip in the iTrip, take a midnight drive, smoke some cigarettes, drink some coffee, and stare out the window (if someone else is driving). Roll down the windows and taste some salty night air. If you're lucky enough to be with the one you love hold them close. Fold them a paper crane. Play a game of two person Solitaire (in this version, you try and kill each other's rows). We're all just chemicals bumping around and sometimes we join together and make a different substance. And the tearing apart at the atomic level...she's a bitch.
