When I was young, I had the biggest secret crush with a boy. This kind of crush caused me to record songs from the radio and I created a mix tape for him. It was so much better than writing a note. It would convey my feelings. The mix tape will profess my undying love. This was my compilation:
Side A:
1: Call Me by Blondie
2: Secret Lovers by Atlantic Starr
3: Crazy for you by Madonna
4: I wanna be your boyfriend by The Ramones
5: Lost in love by New Edition
6: All Through The Night by Cindy Lauper
7: We Belong by Pat Benatar
8: Venus by Bananarama
9: French Kissin’ in the USA by Deborah Harry
10: St. Elmo’s fire theme song
Side B:
1: Shattered Dreams by Johnnie Hates Jazz
2: Owner of a lonely heart by Yes
3: Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
4: I’ll get over you by Toto
5: Don’t You Want Me by Human League
6: Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club
7: How Soon Is Now by The Smiths
8: Love Is A Battlefield by Pat Benatar
9: Blue Monday by New Order
10: Separate Lives by Phil Collins
These songs we’re carefully hand picked and tailored with a purpose. Side A’s theme my feeling and Side B’s message comprised of rejection. I have better taste in music now and I never gave my mix tape to my crush. I recently discovered my mix tape and no doubt revived a memory of how nerdy I was once and I like that part of me. I know this was a piece of object that we all once made or received at one point in our youthful days.
