BACKGROUND
Punk Rock by Mogwai is mysterious and unsettling. Is someone taking the p**s? Is the speaker serious, and why Punk Rock? I don't know what the aim of this music is, but it would contrast well with the serene Lifesaver by Emiliana Torini. A creaking boat at night and another mysterious querey. Why save her later? Ending this unsettling but beautiful and simple music comes Go Down Easy by John Martyn. After the questions comes the conclusion that everything can be easy, beautiful and understood. Heavenly music.
