Kirk Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I think Eric's Starting Over is one of the finest 'surprise' endings I can think of. Another fine ending with a twist is Boz Scaggs We're All Alone. Not as sophisticated as Starting Over but it's pretty cool: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Bundles Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I’m not sure what you guys mean by “surprise endings”…Originally, I thought of songs where the music and/or singing stops and you think the song is over and then it resumes toward the real ending i.e. No Matter What(Badfinger) or Sway(Buble) and even Sunrise by EC…Then there was the other thought of the music or vocals stopping abruptly like I Want You(She’s So Heavy) by the Beatles…So I don’t really understand the “surprise endings” that you guys are alluding to… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 In mine, the protagonist (little sister) ends up being the one who murdered the cheaters. Kirk described why his are surprises. Lots of flavors and interpretations of "surprise endings". All apply here I´d say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Lew, I was referring specifically to a musical twist to the ending, where the songwriter takes it in a different direction than is expected; maybe a key change or two, or a modulation. But James answer is legit, also. Just not what I was looking for when I posted the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
