UPDATE: I FINSHED AND LIKE!!!!!!!!!!! WOW....ME LOVE JACK GALLAGHER????? I FEEL LIKE A DOOR IN BRAIN HAS BEEN KICKED DOWN AND I SUDDENLY UNDERSTAND ALL HIS SECRETS?? this is BRILLIANT buzz i meant it! the consistency in the instruments and styles? it's so so good. i caught a lot of hints of trumpet and like..chimey noises? i cant describe it in a way that sounds smart At All but it's just...noises that gave off a performance vibe? you understand music so well and you

*it's like you picked apart each song to find ways to link them? i'm sorry for this nonsensical praise but just?? BUZZ?? YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT THIS WHOLE MIX THING. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE

:DDDD!!!!!!!!!! THANK U MAWIAM I LOVE U SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!! THANK U!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LOIFE THANK YOU I’M HONORED SINCERELY IM REALLY REALLY HAPPY THAT ALL CAME THROUGH THAT WELL TY!!!!!!! <333333333333333

YEAH it was a really really fun mix to make and to find songs matching the tone of it for!!! i was going for a kinda jazzy/cabaret genre sound and that might explain some more of the brassier trumpeting sounds! i feel like there’s such an inherent layer of Performance to those genres, like, of performing them in front of people and making it a show, and that suits jack really well imo ^^ i started off with demon kitty rag (because i love that song) and originally actually it wasn’t gonna be on the mix? i wanted to bookend it with the same artist and originally i was going with the decemberists, till i realized that didn’t really fit what i wanted, and i realized that going with tea with cinnamon (which i found while working on the mix!!!) and then adding demon kitty rag back in as the finishing track would work well!!! 

i also know i really wanted to have a classical composition on there bc les toreadors is so iconic and it was jack’s theme he used for everything until he turned, and i think just using it straight up would be too easy, but i love finding new classical compositions and being able to appreciate them! in the hall of the mountain king is such a foreboding song on its own and finding a jazzy rendition of it was really neat and i think that was a cool decision and i’m happy with it. 

i DID actually put a mountain goats track on there because i am gay and legally i have to do either that or an ok go track or a metric track on every mix i make, as a gay, but i think it turned out well! also there’s a track from cuphead and from off bc jack is a Gamer and i DO love both of those soundtracks dearly and it’s a little silly but im happy with it!!! 

SORRY FOR RAMBLING INCOHERENTLY IM REALLY REALLY GLAD YOU LIKED IT AND THAT IT MAKES SENSE FR JACK AND I HAD A LOT OF FUN MAKING IT AND I’M THRILLED THANK U SO MUCH!!!!! I LOVE U!!!!!!!!
