kaini Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) 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!

lumpenprol Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 recent BoC...the tape/record effect towards the end of Chromakey Dreamcoat screams gimmick to me...the hippie tabla jam at the end of the Why remix also seemed like a weak cop out Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

vamos scorcho Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 i disagree about fadeout. on an album, it's cool if songs fade into eachother. my favorite album, Loveless, I am pretty sure contains fadeouts on every track (though they're usually incredibly fast and lead straight into the next song) also dj sets consist entirely of fadeouts. there is something about hearing a repetition for a few minutes and then hearing the repetition fade out. it's entrancing.

chaosmachine Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 there's an entire conversation about fade outs in this book i once read. one of the characters says she likes fade outs because it always seems like the singers become more enthusiastic as the song starts to fade, like they're fighting against the dying volume... i can't find a quote, but the book is vox by nicholas baker.

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 Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47154-the-we-dont-know-what-else-to-do-so-ending/#findComment-1080595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
