A little story about search for love in a moonlit landscape, with a sobering ending.
King Crimson (I know, I know, but listen to it first) is the odd one out in genre, but this piece is quite a nice lyrical ballad from this otherwise baroque-on-a--metal-stick band, and introduces the theme of the hand reaching into the shadow for its mate.

The Madeleine Peyroux remake of the Dylan classic acts as a metaphor on three levels: when one finds one's love, as stated in the lyrics, one cannot have it--mostly for reasons of timing, it would seem; her Billy Holiday cover of the original puts the listener at least two removes from the originally-lost love of Dylan's song; the key of E Major is a startling shift from the previous selection's c minor.

The final selection provides the remorseless answer from O Fortuna herself: "Tough Luck," with the slightly consoling fact that the piece is in G Major, related to both of the previous tunes, giving the impression that Fortune at least acknowledges the animals trodden under her wheels in some respect.
