"Sailing" really freaks me out. I'm not sure if it is because of its association with the edge of sleep (as I tend to hear it as I'm drifting off), or those weird reverberant flutes that swell in the background, but it's an unsettling piece. If I was making a horror movie, it's the piece of music I'd choose to put over the stylised slomo scene of horrific violence, rape and murder.

Get out of it, Sailing By is beautiful. ;)

I think it's use is that it's a repetitive piece of music for ease of tuning on the Long Wave. So with that said I think Radio 4 should use We Will Rock You instead.

 

Or this. But I'm of the opinion that the BBC's whole output should be this all day on all services.
