Berk Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 a lot of happy songs from indie rock bands always end with an evil guitar sound drenched in reverb or similar things that don't fit, it's like they're thinking "oh this makes us sound even more awesome." I can't come up with a perfect example right now, so I'll just post one that comes to mind and that's Coldplay - Lovers in Japan [youtubehd]E_exesnCA5Y[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 yeah, quite a bad example I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Usually they fade right when the singer gets TOO enthusiatic and does something off-key or just retarded sounding. When you heard the un-faded acapellas of famous songs you generally have a "THAT'S why they faded it there" moment. The most famous is Marvin Gaye's "Please dont procrastinate, [fade starts] it's not good to ma..." in Sexual Healing but that is the best part of the song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQCQ3yWJDoU ba da ba da ba da da da PSHHH like this analogue wings fucking lol many times.

Guest ~ism Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 a load of whackos music vids end with a cringe. Liberian Girl being one of the worst examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Wilco endings are always kick ass, very idiosyncratic and weird for alt-country stuff!. (Misunderstood, Via Chicago, the entire Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Every track should end with epic tom/snare rolls and cymbal crashes, Iron Maiden's Powerslave proves this fact. I don't care if there wasn't even any drums on the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Let's face it, the last three minutes of Acrid Avid Jam Shred are shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 oh you mean da da da (pause, drummer "subtly" counts 4 on sticks...) CRASH! aka the Battle Of The Bands ending lol that one's bad, but not as bad as MJ's 'resolve key quickly, wrap things up in a neat little package' endings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Wilco endings are always kick ass, very idiosyncratic and weird for alt-country stuff!. (Misunderstood, Via Chicago, the entire Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album, etc..) Amen. I don't know if their new album would be well appreciated by many people here, but I think the album closer is one of the best songs I've ever heard. The lyrics summed up everything that's been bothering me for a while so concisely, and the music behind it is a perfect match. Crazy good song...

Guest ezkerraldean Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 man i hate fadeouts. the bane of prog rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 here's the archetypical example, using a popular theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI9OYMRwN1Q those two chords at the end. to anyone who's listened to a lot of music they just scream 'yeah this was a cool idea, but now we're locked into making a song with it, and we have no idea how to end it. let's have a meeting in which we decide a fast V-I progression will wrap things up nicely w00t we done made a hit!!1!' name and optionally post other examples of the 'no idea how to end the track' syndrome here! oh you mean da da da (pause, drummer "subtly" counts 4 on sticks...) CRASH! aka the Battle Of The Bands ending there are also hybrids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EebObs-vC0 actually veeeeeeeeeeeeery similar to the jacko shit cos that's the one i hate the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics summed up everything that's been bothering me for a while so concisely, and the music behind it is a perfect match. Crazy good song... Well they aren't shy for experimentation for sure. Not electro weird shit, but guitar sonic experimentation. Some people have compared Yankee Hotel Foxtrot to Dark Side of the Moon for the sonic aural greatness and they are totally right. A Ghost is Born is really great, every song is a little setpiece for the whole thing. And 8 minutes of awesome drone ending a 3 minute piece?! You're right, Wilco (the album) is really great. I love all the tracks except Sunny Feeling. I know it's about something but I don't get it. Everything else is kick ass. Jeff Tweady is an awesome lyricist. Anyway, Everlasting Everything is beautiful. "Everylasting love is all you have". And then seagulls? (to continue about song endings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
