The hormonal roller coaster of high school romance.
My lyric was from “Apple Trees” by Ozma. An apple pie, the number pi, I studied you in math class. I did all my work, but never got your digits.
This mix is a story of a pour soul who fell desperately for a classmate who was simply not interested. The scorned teen is T, the object of T’s affections is S.
Girl - Beck T sees S at the mall over summer break and is instantly drawn to S’s charisma and sunglasses. By some miracle, T and S are in the same trigonometry class during fall semester.
Someday Soon - Wilco After sitting two seats behind and one row away from S for the first two weeks of class, T decides to ask S on a date.
Secret Heart - Feist T soon finds that asking S on a date won’t be so easy. It’s much easier to write love letters that will never be sent.
Dreamboat - Mirah Unsent love letters are fun, but fantasies are even better. T works up the nerve to ask S to see a movie Friday night.
Friday I’m in Love - The Cure On Friday T walks on air as S sits in the usual spot in Mr. Stauffer’s math classrom.
How Soon is Now - The Smiths S turns T down, and T is heartbroken. T’s friends are no help, and T is left to wallow in self pity - alone on a Friday night.
Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley Depressed and alone, T turns to Mom and Dad’s supply of homemade lilac wine. While sitting under a tree outside, T imagines S is walking across the yard to apologize.
Look for Me (I’ll Be Around) - Neko Case After T realized that S is not standing in the yard, T heads to S’s home and peaks through windows. T also sleeps in the car a block away from S’s house.
Drinker’s Peace - Guided by Voices Hungover and a bit ashamed, T heads to math study group with S and some other classmates. T immediately forgets the heartbreak of the night before.
Take a Chance on Me - Erasure Rejuvenated after having seen S again, T tries again - this time asking S to homecoming.
Pathetique - Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire After a second rejection, T feels put out and angry. Turning to sarcasm and eventually acceptance, T gives up on the idea of S for a while.
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For - U2 Even after a few months, T can’t shake the idea of S.
Epitaph for my Heart - The Magnetic Fields T gives up on the idea of love entirely. T becomes a recluse and refuses to make new friends or date at all… until spring semester english with M.
