my mix tapes 3

The You Are Alive Mix created on April 18, 1993

I assume there were other tapes I made between August `92 and April `93 but I didn't have any in the box. I'm not certain what this title refers to but this might have been around the time I went into therapy. Now that I'm thinking about the date I think I'd been in therapy for a few months at this point. The more I think about the memories wrapped up with these songs the more I'm remembering. I'd guess the title referred to somebody else (I think I know who it was but that's their's to share, not mine).

Side A

• Mercedes Benz Janis Joplin
• Ode to Billy Joe Bobbie Gentry
• Casey Jones Grateful Dead
• Brown Eyed Girl Van Morrison
• Piece of My Heart Janis Joplin
• Walking in London Concrete Blonde
• Two Princes Spin Doctors
• Uncle John's Band Grateful Dead
• Me and Bobby McGee Janis Joplin
• Love Sundays
• Thank You Tori Amos

Side B

• Indian Princess Thoughts of Brahma (This was my friend Terri's boyfriend's band. I think this song was about her. They're one of my favorite couples and have one of those "against the odds" love stories complete with the happy ending.)
• Look What the Cat Drug In Michael Penn
• Happy Phantom Tori Amos
• Trust in Me Janis Joplin
• Love Will Come Indigo Girls
• Wild Horses Sundays
• Stolen Thoughts of Brahma
• I Want to be Your Friend Again Concrete Blonde (I think this song was a reference to the "intervention" some childhood friends had for me. They told me they didn't like the things I was doing at the time and that they couldn't be my friends anymore if I kept doing them. Bless their good intentioned hearts but the end result was we stopped being friends for awhile and I spent more time with the people they didn't approve of.)
• Ghost Indigo Girls
• Sounds of Silence Simon & Garfunkel
• Joking Indigo Girls
• Scarborough Fair/Canticle Simon & Garfunkel
