Thematic compatibility

During my deep dive into Celtic music yesterday, I kept thinking, "Mary Black's 'Strange Thing' stands out to me on her 'Without The Fanfare' CD, but I can't quite articulate why."  Then, I thought a little harder.  Thematically, its lyrics remind me of Joni Mitchell's "Help Me."  Considering the expansive definition of jazz that some smooth jazz stations have, it wouldn't be out of place in a late night smooth jazz playlist, either.

I wonder if any radio station has ever played those songs back to back.
