Black mirror and Music

We all know Black Mirror is a dystopian masterpiece.
From Charlie Brookers genius writing
To the futuristic visions
And an insight into human nature

The show is Just as Clever as it is Dark.

However Black Mirror also does something very special with the music that's in it.

It can make a happy song have a VERY DARK sub-tone to it.

A great example of this would be the First Christmas Special episode with the song (Amazing Grace) I Wish It Could Be Christmas - By Wizard

Fair enough working at Sports Direct through the Christmas period made me HATE that song.
So when ever I heard it I would probably just groan and re adjust my coat like every guy in every movie ever.

However after watching that particular episode when the guy gets his consciousness put in a Jar and has to spend eternity in  room where he killed a man and his grand daughter (by accident) with that song playing on repeat at the highest volume...

Now whenever I hear that song, I'm not only annoyed I also feel very uneasy. 
Funny how a seemingly innocent song can be turned into something so sinister... 

Which brings me on to my idea
Because I could do something similar. 

Specifically with the Song Whispering Grass (The Windsor Davies version) 
The song is pretty innocent by itself however I reckon with some clever directing that it could be really fucking dark. 
Ironically the song is about love and lies...
Which perfectly runs along with my plot line.

I think the song would be a good thing for the audience to link a certain even to... 
So whenever you hear the song its a sign that a certain event is about to happen.
