Last Thursday, my iTunes shuffle mode was in a struggle vs. perseverance frame of mind. I like that it segued Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" with Lyle Lovett's "I Will Rise Up/Ain't No More Cane." I especially like that the songs fell in that order. If I'm going to hear a song about feeling chagrined by life's obstacles, I want to hear a song after it that proclaims, "Those obstacles won't stop me!"
