I don't see how this is any different. What is a mood of a tune set up by in a lyrical tune if not the lyrics?
What I'm saying is I dislike hearing a DJ play a break-up or heartache tune and then following it up by "let's all party". Obviously the message is lost on this particular "DJ" and he/she is doing themselves (and their audience) by ignoring it. I don't think you need to follow up a break-up tune with another break-up tune but make it relevant at least. MEK "Thomas D.
