Considering I had to leave my love and come back to the windy south plains, I decided to team up with my co-worker Doug Stapp (check out his crazy 80 mph guitar stuff here) and put together an oddball mix of 80s-era moody songs. Some are sad, some are sappy, some are actually uplifting. All are emotional before that term was shortened and covered in mascara.

Duran Duran - Save A Prayer

New Order - Blue Monday (Doug's); Age of Consent (mine)

Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered Dreams

LaTour - People Are Still Having Sex

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now (Doug's); Asleep (mine)

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't Give Up (this video will save the world...you watch)

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule the World (and if that one doesn't, this one will)

Good Old Sad
