I've recorded my wife a love album for our 3rd anniversary and managed to put NIN's The Fragile on it. I was sort of chuffed with that.

    Good choice. Not quite as "romantic", but I would go with We're In This Together. But that's probably because that song means a hell of a lot to me.

    yeah that is a good choice. it is romantic in a dark way. You don't want all cheesy love ballads on it. Very good call.

    to be funny, you should have included closer as well!!

    nice work! The Fragile is a pretty song... :)

    i'll build a wall so we can keep them on the other side....


    We're In This Together is a fave of mine too....

    Perfect Drug would have worked as well! :D

    i hope it was the version from the Still EP. that one blows away the original.

    I'm jealous. I wish my boyfriend would make me a compilation album. Especially something with NIN on it. Heart achingly beautiful songs. Well done!

    I love to listen to "I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally" on headphones. Heartbreaking, but oh so good. I like that whole album so much that it gets played A LOT. I don't know how romantic you could consider it, but my idea of romance has little to do with what we're being sold, so to have something from this record on a mix would make me very happy. :) (Besides, "We're In This Together" pretty much says it all.)
