Why wouldn't you try? (Eclectic Playlist Series 5.02)

"I hate and I love. How do I do that, perhaps you ask?
I don't know. But I feel it is happening and I am tormented."

Those are what the words in the first song mean, translated from the Latin. They were written in the first century B.C. Here they are being sung by a computerized voice. It's a piece by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannson, who, sadly, died this month at the age of 48. I have not heard too much of his music but did stumble on this one back in 2006 . It's odd but compelling, and enduring; I urge you to listen with full attention.

From there, we're off into another irregular journey through the decades. I've branched back into the '50s this time, twice for good measure, and for whatever reason cleared out a little bit of an instrumental section in the middle. It just seemed to want to work out that way.
