The allure of shuffle mode V

A segue I wouldn't have considered if iTunes hadn't selected it randomly: Carole King's "It's Too Late" with Joey Alexander's "We Here."  What do you play after a well-written, sincerely sung tune about a deteriorating relationship?  One option is to segue it with a more optimistic-sounding piano instrumental that dovetails well with King's piano outro on "It's Too Late."  It's a good way to take the edge off of "It's Too Late"'s lyrics.
