Making a Playlist for My First Love ;)

There is a girl who I haven't seen in 7 years. And now I am going to exchange music playlists with her because it's the only thing I can think of to do over the internet.


Now what I'm trying to do is to fire some shots straight into her heart, to imply to her that oh I've got some thoughts in my head or whatever. If you have been paying attention to my posts then you know this isn't true, but the point is that if I pick good enough music, that along with nostalgia might have a positive impact on dis thang I don't know.

Gratuitous Backstory
Spoiler

Now the other thing is that I'm african american, but you already knew this because of how cool I am, right? But my thing in school was I couldn't relate to the other black kids in my 90% black school. I always had my eyes on Asia and I liked goth and medievil things so it was hard for me to make friends cuz most of those Mississippi kids hadn't even heard of anime and many didn't know that the word sword had a silent w in it for example. I think there was one kid who knew what Diablo was lol and that's because his mom was black and his dad was Russian. Anyways...

So after many years of being a loner it was this girl who comes along and opens up my heart to humanity again. Blush. Aw, I know I'm not the only nerd out there with a story like this one.


Anyway, so she knows how I am and therefore already probably expects to hear some songs that she isn't expecting to hear, know what I'm sayin? But just curious if there is any input on the first song on the playlist. It's pretty important and sets the tone, I guess... it's my first playlist halp.

Now personally... I think that Radiohead - Scatterbrain would make a good opening salvo but I'm not sure whether to go acoustic or studio version. Believe it or not but I actually spent days thinking about this one. The acoustic is more delicate but the studio saturates you in music. This is probably the hardest decision in this list:

Acoustic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0o8oh_GcR0

There is also the possibility to open up with some Japanese Breakfast songs:


In Heaven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XkjHf2mXOY
The Woman Who Loves You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YKAkRo9UYs

Now I love the Woman Who Loves you because the message of the song relates to so many of the things that she's said about relationships herself. But I'm not sure if it should be the first song.

Then there is:
Everybody Wants to Love You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3bMacoqgCg A much more light hearted approach than Scatterbrain. But I think this would make the ideal last song in the playlist to be honest.

Of course it's not just Radiohead and Japanese Breakfast on the playlist. But I was seriously thinking of them being at the start and finish of it that's why I'm asking about these in particular.
