but what I really want is bacon

[lauralh]

I'm thinking of making a "longing" mix. Not because I'm longing, but maybe I want to be. so far I have:

smiths "i know it's over"
beatles "no reply"
third eye blind "the background"
rubber rodeo "anywhere with you"
blondie "hangin' on the telephone"
edits:

cyndi lauper, "time after time"
bad english, "forget me not"
the cure, "boys don't cry"
fleetwood mac, "go your own way"
don henley, "boys of summer"
gin blossoms, "hey jealousy"
the cure, "Letter to Elise"
pet shop boys, "So Hard"
New Order, "lonesome tonight"
bryan adams, "one night love affair"
This is more of a teenage "I want a boyfriend who'll sing these songs about me" list, isn't it?

Is longing the same as pining? And is longing for people you've already had who have left or for people you haven't had yet but want?

the cure - pictures of you
magnetic fields - all my little words
jeff buckley - kanga roo (or the big star original, of course)
coil - bang bang (a cover of a sonny and cher tune, which is soooo melancholy. seriously, czech this out.)
pavement - here

Spoon, "Anything You Want"
Rainer Maria, "Broken Radio" (more wistful then longing though)

Well, you have to include Liz Phair's "Fuck and Run" then if you're doing the whole "I want a boyfriend" theme.

missing the point

This is more an "I have braces and glasses and no boys will ever want me" nostalgic mix.

Oh. In that case, what about The Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored?"
