oo8; mix - general - Moving From New York
I have discovered that I find Amy Winehouse fantastic holiday music. I had my iPod on shuffle and I was walking by a park and I looked up saw the snow on the branch and with the combination of her voice I was like: "CHRISTMAS OMG!" I also have started reading Orlando which is quite fun, it has been ages since I read something written by a woman, and it is quite relaxing. Anyway, onto the actual post.
mix talk: I am of that age where the only thing one thinks about is fleeing. So this is a mix for those who need to get away, and as for the title, well I'm from the City, so even though I love it is the last place I want to be, so please excuse, what may be for most, the paradoxical title.
MOVING FROM NEW YORK ('cause I got problems with my sleep)
a mix for those who need to leave, flee, forget and/or be forgotten
