From The DJ Shadow Archives - Essential Mix Hour 2

"If you're having a difficult time identifying any of these tracks, there's a reason for that...they're all derived from vintage demo cassettes, most of which were unheard by the general public until this mix. It's something I had been planning for some time, and it all feeds back into the 'crate digger' aesthetic I've always valued so much as a DJ. When the mix originally aired, I had to edit some of the language, so here it is for the first time in full uncensored glory."

Tape Mix

To D.

oh my love is not love at all

my love is unreal

an illusion made literal

a dream

I once a week 

remember to dream

a thing I feel every now and then

when I close my eyes

in the mornings 

in the nights 

like in a senseless despair

calling you my moon

writing my definition of you 

in french

imagining our dialogues

and what I am going to tell

while knowing how ridiculous it can get

talking to one self

I `ve talk to you several times

When I see you I sometimes forget

that it hasn`t happened yet

And I lose a person

I lose myself

Anonymous all the way

quietly watching you

not thinking at all

just observing 

how your life goes on

how normality in you 

seems wondrous

I bet everything with you could be nicer

You are fun

And fun I crave

a rebel

a spirit out of the maze

or glowing shit..

I dont know

I`ve got to know

I cant resist

My pulse goes high

and low

Lets walk and talk 

Be friends 

be foes

but first come down

and coincidentally run into me
