There was once a mixed tape...

passed between 2 highschool girls. One gave the other knowledge of different kinds of music which she had never listened to before. On this tape were many songs, like:
Waiting Room by Fugazi
Sheela Na Gig by PJ Harvey

And another one that went something like this:

I can remember dark corridors
And I can taste other peoples' grief
I want a split split second of peace
I want this candle lighted for the dear departed

Maybe it was Candle by Red Emma.
