Actually put together Oh Come Oh Come Immanuel and Little Drummer Boy in LMMS. Just because they are both Christmas songs does not mean they are similar lyrical thoughts.
OCOCI is takeing the Jewish view of waiting on God’s Messiah, not that he is here, yet. Little Drummer Boy is about him already being born, trying to find a gift worthy of him when you have almost nothing, yourself.
Both are depressing in their own way, when separate, but together it gives this feel of still waiting on your messiah because you’re rejecting the one that is already here.

How do we do this? Should we just state the titles, have explanations, or share the songs? Please clarify; I want to play but I want to do it right.

I guess sharing is easier to listen to and explanations are more fun, but there are no hard rules
oooh XD

@Ilianasarigo Thanks for responding.
Ahead by a Century - The Tragically Hip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jeAmJTgL3w
This is a folk rock song about young love and the possibilities of life, and isn’t particularly aggressive musically (though it is rather emotional).
Neon Knights - Black Sabbath
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDE2BcI9kGQ
This is a heavy metal song about knights and modern-day counterparts (I didn’t know that immediately from the lyrics), and it is definitely aggressive.

there was this song I was trying to learn (I gave up) that I’d often feel big mood whiplash when I encountered it in my playlist.
it’s so… reverent? and the style of singing is very different

and I was listening to a lot of stuff like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eztenJFXqBw
there are probably less subtle examples of mood whiplash I’ve gotten
I remember laughing out loud at the contrast between some things on my playlists, but I don’t remember what they were, sadly

going into this

the first one kind of lulled me into this calm mood and I wasn’t expecting the second one XD
this kind of transition is just one of the funniest things for me
(the next song in the playlist made me laugh as well
the contrast is just great)

This song is sung from the point-of-view of the Devil (and it’s not a sympathetic portrayal, despite the title). It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who are members of The Rolling Stones.

This song is a Christian hymn. It was re-arranged by Edwin Hawkins from a hymn that originated in 1775.

ooh, how about this
one of these songs talks about friendship and having spirit and being true to yourself and the other is basically ‘life sucks and I have no motivation and I’m going to pretend to be happy because I don’t have faith my friends will hang around if I don’t’
