Description:

screw valentines day. screw people in love and happy couples and hearts and flowers. screw sunny days and chirpy birds. screw holding hands and kissess you feel in your knees. screw friends and television and movies trying to tell us that our true partner is just around the corner and love conquers all and no one dies alone and miserable. and ESPECIALLY screw all those songs on the radio singing about how great their life is now that theyve found youuuuuu!

make a cd filled with 10 or more of the loneliest songs you can think of. try and make sure they have the words "alone" or "lonely" in them somewhere. this is supposed to be the most miserable cd ever, so if someone thinks it would be great to fit gloria gaynor's "i will survive" somewhere in there, know theres a special spot in hell just for you. i want to listen to this cd on valentines day on repeat in bed while eating salt and vinegar potato chips and hating the world.

requirements: 4.7+ rating/newbies w/fop's welcome, no recent no sends, no sketchy people.

one cd to two partners, track listing required. lets get miserable.

EDITED TO ADD : since so many people are asking, yeah, i guess its ok if the songs you end up using dont have the EXACT wording of "alone/lonely" in the title, as long as a) you try your best to find some that do and b) the general meaning of the song still fits the theme. hope that helps!

I <3 salt & vinegar chips ... I can't be miserable when I'm licking sour salt off my fingers :)

How about words like "empty"?

Jaelle 01/31/2010 #

I mean - I have some excellently depressing songs, they just don't have "alone" and "lonely" in them... give us a list of alternate words, please!

theashifaction 01/31/2010 #

i guess we can use other similar words after weve exhausted all the alone/lonely songs we can think of. i was trying to think of some in the car today and was like "uhhhh wait a minute maybe i made it too hard"

CandyStar 01/31/2010 #

Bahahaha this is hilarious. XD!!! Let's all get good and depressed. :D I know juuuust the right songs!

Although if someone sends me a cd with that really annoying song where alvin the chipmunk sings "I'm so loooonelyyyyyyyyyy" to some awful rap music.... twitch. XP

Awesome swap description. Few things are more annoying than valentine's hype. I know a couple of seriously depressing songs that don't involve the words lonely and alone... would they still work?

theashifaction 01/31/2010 #

im gonna say as long as half the songs have those two words in it, then the rest can be a little more lenient.

I need to send off some swaps to clear up a spot to join this one, but I'm definately down for the depressing mix cd. I'm a mix cd nerd. I make themed ones just for myself to listen to, let alone swap. My latest was a "stalker songs" mix.

Vendetti 02/ 1/2010 #

@riceisright Haha!! I laugh at the "stalker Mix" because I totally have one too. That's the real meaning of Valentine's day..

I have some perfect depressing songs but they don't have "lonely" in them. It's too bad because this mix would make anyone cry.

svoegtlin 02/ 3/2010 #

This sounds like it's going to be a real blast! What a fun swap!

tokyoloveletters 02/ 3/2010 #

@Vendetti Same here! I have a ton of depressing-as-hell songs, but most of them do not include the words "lonely" in the title. :(

Could I still join if I only have a few songs that actually have "lonely" in the title? (Let's be real. Most of the songs with the title "alone" end up singing about how we're not in fact alone. Jerks.) Can they reference loneliness?

Haha, @riceisright kudos for the stalker mix!

bluehairedmary 02/ 3/2010 #

Just like others are asking, can we just have songs about being alone/breaking up,etc? Maybe a minimum of three or four songs with "lonely"? I think we'll all end up with the same "lonely" songs anyway... I've already made a list and hope I can join the swap if some of the req change...

riceisright 02/ 3/2010 #

Well she just said try and make sure they have "alone" or "lonely". I think its probably fine to use songs that dont specifically have them in their title, but are depressing or about crappy relationships etc. I'll try my best to work some songs with alone or lonely in, but like bluehairedmary said, we'll all end up using the same songs most likely if we try to be strict to that rule.

theashifaction 02/ 4/2010 #

yeah, i dont mind if the songs you end up using dont have the exact words in the title/lyrics as long as a) you try to find SOME that do and b) it still sticks to the theme.

bluehairedmary 02/ 5/2010 #

thanx for changing the reqs :)

tokyoloveletters 02/ 5/2010 #

Yes, thank you! :)

Batraplume 02/ 7/2010 #

My mix is done. I have 18 songs, half of them have the words alone or lonely in the lyrics (not in the title, except 3) and stick to the theme. The other half don't have these words but stick to the theme too. Hope I got it right and that this mix is depressing enough!! :-)
