I participated in theCDP’s mix-tape trade (okay, they were all CD’s — mine was cut from iTunes, probably like many others).  The mix was supposed to be in by Feb 14 and theCDP said that the theme was supposed to about love — you know, let’s-get-in-the-mood stuff. I decided to refrain from that and do something a little different.

Here is the track listing as I sent it:

Title: Two Movements on Love

Eros is Tempoary 
1. You Don’t Know My Name – Alicia Keys
2. Crush – Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds
3. Then I Kissed Her – The Beach Boys
4. Moondance – Van Morrison
5. Cold Song – Jewel
6. The One I Love – David Gray
7. Leaving On A Jet Plane – Chantal Kreviazuk
8. Somebody’s Crying – Chris Isaak

Agape is Forever
9. He – Jars Of Clay
10. This Is A Call – Thousand Foot Krutch
11. Lost The Plot – Newsboys
12. A New Law – Derek Webb
13. Of Minor Prophets & Their Prostitute Wives – Pedro The Lion
14. Christmas Song – Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds
15. Untitled Hymn – Chris Rice
16. Jesus Loves Me – Go Fish
17. I’ll Fly Away – Alison Kraus & Gillian Welch
18. 40 – U2

Tracks 1-8 were about a romantic relationship — from the first meeting to a sad breakup.  Track 9-18 was modeled after the Reformed Order of Worship — celebration of God, confession of sin, assurance of pardon, and the joy of life in Christ.  Interestingly enough, both movements ended in songs of lament — one about someone missing their loved one and the other asking how much longer will our sin entangle us.  It was an accident in my design, but it left it — it seemed to make great sense to close both of them like that.
