This Typewriter Rodeo poem hearkens back to a time when putting together a collection of songs took a lot of work – and was really something special.
Mixtape
I made you a mixtape
Stayed up all night
Mapping the journey of us
in song
I scribbled down the track list
Stumbled on the perfect title
Added a few doodles
And folded it into the case
B-side Beatles
and big belt musicals
and Lyle upon his pony on his boat
I made it for you
This carefully crafted
curated collection
Designed to pull you
right
back
here
to me
Every time you
flip
the
tape
