I've got a playlist of similarly-moody songs from a variety of artists that I've got set on Shuffle. This was the pairing I just heard: The opening song from the first fawn-kneed album of a young band, followed by the last song of the most recent album of a singer in the golden years of his lifelong career in music. Wildly different songs, in sound and pace and (in every way) maturity, but somehow a beautiful pair together.

There is a lifetime of musicianship left in the members of the young band, whether together or separately, and it made me anticipate fondly the music of theirs I'll be enjoying in thirty years.
