Berk Posted July 6, 2009 Report 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] Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Berk's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47154-the-we-dont-know-what-else-to-do-so-ending/page/2/#findComment-1080796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 On 7/6/2009 at 6:57 AM, analogue wings said: 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!

Guest ~ism Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 a load of whackos music vids end with a cringe. Liberian Girl being one of the worst examples.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted July 6, 2009 Report 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.

(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...

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?
