Last night, iTunes took Alice Merton's "Lash Out," a cathartic tune about venting one's fury, and segued it with...
..."Catch A Falling Star" by Perry Como.
Yes, I purchased both of those songs and like them both for different reasons. I turned on shuffle mode, so both songs were fair game for a segue.
Although that isn't a pairing I would have made, perhaps it was for the best. Too many rage-filled songs in a row aren't good for one's mindset. A positive frame of mind is usually more advisable, so what's wrong with pairing a dark tune with an idealistic one now and then?
