The pitfalls of shuffle mode IV

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?
