Exit music (for a conspiracy theorist)

NK's email reaches me shortly before I leave the office. She tells me that there are three songs on one album to which she likes to listen when she is sad. I expect one of them to be "Street Spirit", but it isn't.

I reply that of the three songs it is "High and Dry" that touches me the most. Two minutes later I am in the lobby waiting for the elevator, stunned to hear "High and Dry" playing on the reception radio like a highly orchestrated farewell.
