saudade/sehnsucht

i was reading an article not too long ago about words that have no real counterpart in english translation.in portuguese there's a word saudade that loosely translated “refers to the feeling of longing for something or someone that you love and which is lost".in german they have a similar word sehnsucht.c.s. lewis wrote about it and described it basicly as that feeling of deep yearning or missing something intensely but you might not be able to put your finger on exactly what it is you're missing.



i think i've been feeling something closer to sehnsucht.i've been feeling it a while and maybe sehnsucht for me is that feeling of missing having someone to make mixtapes for.

i'm really good at it and i miss poring over records for hours to find just the exact right song.i also miss receiving mixtapes.it's been a couple years.
these songs belong on a mixtape


such a great duet



i kind of forgot about this song until hearing it again tonight.
