To be clear, I'm not sure sequel is the right term, and I've never seen anyone use it except me just now lol.
But it is a thematic extension and styled with characters etc, which is certainly not typical.
I understand the thought about the curtain call. That tonal break happens sometimes even without songs. You can thank Tom Kitt for that cello; Green Day liked his work enough they hired him to "orchestrate" the next 3 albums after that.
Finally, Good Riddance is, I think, a great song, often misunderstood. It's among the best breakup songs ever written by a man, methinks. |
