So, after working with Thom and I forever, our friend Whit is leaving the country. It makes us sad. We love you, Whit, so it was only fitting that we post this beautiful poem to send you off. I”™ll hand over to Whit for today”™s playlist – fly true, young one.

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
”˜Cause I saw the end before we”™d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what”™s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won”™t stop there,
I am here for you if you”™d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I”™ve kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I”™ve been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can”™t break my spirit – it”™s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I”™ve seen you cry, I”™ve seen you smile.
I”™ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I”™d be the father of your child.
I”™d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We”™ve had our doubts but now we”™re fine,
And I love you, I swear that”™s true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I”™m asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I”™m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I”™m so hollow, baby, I”™m so hollow.
I”™m so, I”™m so, I”™m so hollow.
I”™m so hollow, baby, I”™m so hollow.
I”™m so, I”™m so, I”™m so hollow.
*Cries like a baby*

The thing that”™s always drew me to music is the fact that it”™s so emotive.  That, to me, is its primary purpose.  To draw up some sense of emotion, whether based around the lyrics, the music, the beat, or the memories associated with the song.  Whether I”™m taken back to a time in my life, thinking back on a person, or just finding a song that seems to have been written for me, by me, or even about me, through the highs, through the lows, music has always been my never waiving partner.  There”™s old friends that you go a length of time never hearing, ones you listen to on repeat, and ones that draw up such powerful emotions, you prefer not to hear them at all.

The playlist below is based around the songs that evoke the most emotion out of me.  Each one represents a significant feeling, milestone, event, or person in my life, hence the varied nature across genres and decades.

Due to the personal nature behind each selection, I”™m *not* going to delve into a breakdown of each song, as per the norm.  I”™m just going to ask you to sit back, give it a listen, and come to your own conclusions.
