I've listened to two songs about isolation individually, but it took iTunes pairing them to make me realize how compatible they are. On Monday, shuffle mode segued Sarah Jarosz's "Long Journey" with Neil Finn's "Alone." Both songs are about people being apart from someone important to them. "Long Journey," however, offers the possibility of finding one's way back to someone, while "Alone" implies a permanent parting.
While it isn't the most comfortable pairing of sentiments, it's too poignant of a segue not to respect.
