until daybreak




overview. songs for the nights you lie in bed, unable to sleep. waiting for the darkness to subside and the dawn to break, because you know you'll be wide awake until then. english, mandarin, korean, japanese, instrumental. ballad, alt rock, indie.

tracklist.

♪ set the fire to the third bar _snow patrol ft. martha wainwright
their words, mostly noises
ghosts with just voices
your words in my memory
are like music to me


♪ down _jason walker
so why do i try,
i know i'm gonna fall down


♪ seeing you off the edges _eluvium

♪ we are mice _azure ray
it's all in the eyes
the reckless way we dream to die
our past is our future
the present lies
somewhere between our hearts and minds


♪ infection _chihiro onitsuka
in the night
i realize this infection


♪ space between _katie noonan & the captains
space between us blue as oceans
gold as sunshine, red as my blood


♪ nicest thing _kate nash
i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
i wish that without me you couldn't eat
i wish i was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep


♪ lonely lonely _feist
distance makes the heart grow weak
so that the mouth can barely speak
except to those who hide their needs


♪ still alright _pg. lost

♪ rocks _ben jelen
but now i'm doubting me, i know i shouldn't be but
i've been down, i've been down


♪ diary _kelly chen
loved until it hurt
hurt until i cried
cried until i was tired
the dilemmas in my heart
keep repeating


♪ winter song _sara bareilles ft. ingrid michaelson
is love alive?

♪ cry _kelly clarkson
i'm talking in circles
i'm lying, they know it
why won't this just all go away


♪ apres moi _regina spektor
i must go on standing
you can't break that which isn't yours
i must go on standing
i'm not my own, it's not my choice


♪ 카페인 _mot

♪ 愛我吧 _khalil fong
don't answer me,
don't answer me


♪ breaking my heart again _aqualung
need to know
i don't wanna know
already know
-
you're making me doubt
i thought i knew you
i don't even know myself


♪ teenage dream _the rescues
i can't sleep
let's run away and don't ever look back,
don't ever look back


♪ when my time comes _dawes
and now the only piece of advice that continues to help
is anyone making anything new only breaks something else


♪ moonlight punch romance _nell
i fell in love
with the silence of the night


bonus (not in zip).
♪ why _susie suh
why do i ask myself these questions?

comments. this mix is a bit of an amalgam. i wanted to include songs that provided some sense of comfort, but that doesn't mean they're calming - sometimes, they're only comforting because you've found something that perfectly reflects your mood. at the same time, i didn't want this to be a mix to help you get to sleep. it's more of a mix for understanding that you won't, if that makes sense. near the end of the mix, there's a few brighter, more hopeful songs - perhaps better suited for when the light is beginning to filter in. standouts include the rescues' harmonic, yearning cover of katy perry's teenage dream, regina spektor's dramatic apres moi, katie noonan's silky, rich voice in space between, and chihiro onitsuka's haunting infection. whatever keeps you up at night - i hope this helps.

comments. i used to help out in a little coffee shop in my neighbourhood that was really centred around music - they had a weekly music night, open mike nights, etc. and always had great music playing. their playlist consisted mostly of jazz; this mixtape goes into the territory of indie, folk, and soft rock. it can be background music, or it can be the centre of your attention. there's a lot of great songs here, but a few personal favourites are chinese band the life journey's my desert with its airy female vocals and stripped-down atmosphere, kings of convenience's stay out of trouble for its beautiful, understated harmonies, dave matthews band's lying in the hands of god for its blend of edgy and comforting, and feist's 1234 for its sweet, simple atmosphere and textured vocals. landon pigg, rubies, and a few pastel artists (misty blue, fanny fink, etc.) also contribute some great songs.
