Uhg, yesterday at Portuguese Language Studies class we watched this documentary about... err... the Portuguese language. So, you all know saudade. Of course there was a moment they said about saudade and there was this genius fado band [Madredeus] playing this beautiful song Ecos Na Catedral. Well, I'm a drama-queen, therefore you know I cried. So, this is simply the mixtape for/from this heartbroken bitch. Corny? Sure! Care? Not a fuck. There are about 40 songs, download as you please or just note how pathetic I am.
2. Where Does The Good Go? - Tegan And Sara [that's all you ask yourself when a love affair is over]
3. Lamb - Gorecki ["If I should die this very momen/I wouldn't feel/For I've never known completeness/Like being here with you/Wrapped in the warmth of you/Loving every breath of you/Still my heart this moment/Oh it might burst"... 'nuff said]
4. Spring - Saint Etienne [Etienne knows how to bring the most heartbreakingly optimistic songs]
5. Dreamsome - Shelby Lynne [it's from Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack; whaddya think?]
6. Mr. Donut - Saint Etienne ["When I'm far from home/You call me on the phone/And tell me everything/That's happenin' in London/When I'm feeling blue/You call me something new/Another stupid name/That makes me smile..." *dies*]
7. Nothing Fails - Madonna [was there ever anything before this song was written?]
8. You're The One - Kylie Minogue [everything I'd like to say to...]
9. You've Got A Friend - Stacey Kent [wanna get cornier? Add some James Taylor on]
10. Jóga - Björk [the state of emergency]
11. Love Tried To Welcome Me - Madonna [who could've thought that Madge is usually drawn to sadness?]
12. Possibly Maybe - Björk [c'mon, you saw this one coming]
13. Samson - Regina Spektor [fuck, I'll cry again]
14. No Easy Love - Annie ["You rang the door one of a Sunday morning/Said that I was always on your mind"... and I'm still waiting]
15. Dull Flame Of Desire - Björk [one of the best romance stories ever written in song form]
16. How Insensitive - Astrud Gilberto [Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim are G-ds]
17. O Caminho - Bebel Gilberto [try to be indifferent to this, even if you can't make shit out of the words]
18. Every Time We Say Goodbye - Ella Fitzgerald [do I really need to explain it?]
19. Legend - Nelly Furtado [I so much miss chilvary]
20. Qualquer Coisa - Caetano Veloso [simply beautiful]
21. Poney Honey Money - Cansei De Ser Sexy [simply cute... just giving me car memories]
22. Your Hands Are Cold - Dario Marianelli [Mr. Darcy and Miss Eliza Bennet... once again, whaddya think?]
23. Fallen - Sarah McLachlan [the G-d of making-us-cry]
24. Littlest Things - Lily Allen [hmm... now whole Conquista memories]
25. Valsa Da Solidão - Roberta Sá [read 17]
26. Aún Asi Te Vas - Belanova [this will always be one of my favorite heartbreak songs]
28. Pecado - Caetano Veloso [this is ours ho]
29. River - Madeleine Peyroux [less corny than Taylor, but still, Joni Mitchell]
30. A Home - Dixie Chicks [oh and there's also country music]
31. Try - Nelly Furtado [*cries*]
32. Wish I Could - Norah Jones ["We met in a place I used to go,/Now I just walk by it for show,/Can't bear to go in without you know,/Wish I could,/Wish I could." *cries*]
33. Lovely Head - Goldfrapp [this one's so weird, yet so beautiful]
34. Peach Trees - Rufus Wainwright [my favorite song quote in the whole wide world: "Cause I'm so tired of waiting in restaurants/Reading the critics and comics alone"]
35. Destiny - Zero 7 [just wish this was true to me... lol, ho you know I can get even worst!]
36. Sleep - Azure Ray [the "I can't sleep, I can't speak to you" chorus reminds Saint Etienne's "I can't sleep/thinking of you constantly"]
38. Dangerous Game - Kylie Minogue [*cries*]
39. Happy Ending - Mika ["This is the way that we love,/Like it's forever./Then live the rest of our life,/But not together"]
40. Gone Gone Gone - Madonna [*dies*]

OMG lol you're becoming a parody of yourself.
We know you love drama, but crying at school as you watch a documentary is the hyperbole of Lucas' hyperbole.
Nevertheless you picked really pretty songs, except for all those I won't even name (starts with M and rhymes with pica).
And yes Pecado is still our song.
