The pitfalls of shuffle mode VIII

Separately, "Come The Day" by The Seekers and Lucy Kaplansky's "Every Single Day" are captivating.  Hearing "Come The Day" followed by "Every Single Day," however, is a rough transition from idealism to realism.  "Come The Day" looks toward a better world that will eventually become reality, while "Every Single Day" shows what it feels like when your glory days are behind you.

Even though I heard that downcast transition a little while ago, I'm choosing to latch onto "Come The Day"'s optimistic conviction, regardless of whether evidence supports it these days.
