    This playlist is wonderful and all, but you’re TOTALLY missing The Doors. D:

    Here Comes The Sun is the most played song on my ipod! I listened to it all last summer in the hope that it would work like a reverse rain dance and the sun would come out.
    (It didn’t really work; I suppose even the Beatles can’t control nature. But I live in hope).

    When I heard out the Diana Ross song, I didn’t really think it could really be about coming out as being an LGBT, but then I started listening to the lyrics, and they make so much sense!
    The song is so great! It really made me think that maybe I should take the big step and really come out.

    You’re changing lives, Rookie!

    You know, Rookie kind of makes me hate the weekends a little bit…

    Anyway, good playlist! When I turned sixteen, my aunt called me and sang the last song to me :).

  • Jenn April 28th, 2012 8:25 PM

    This playlist is awesome though the addition of the lovely show tune Welcome the the 60′s from Hairspray couldn’t have hurt :)

  • moonflower April 29th, 2012 6:05 AM

    Maybe if I play this then it will stop pissing down in England and the campout this friday will actually happen!
