I recently made a playlist of BestEverAlbums.com's top 50 songs and I listened through them and I was surprised at how many of them just fade out at the end. Sometimes I feel like this leaves the songs unfinished and seems like they didn't know what to do with it or how to end it. At times i see how fading out contributes to the song but other times im left disappointed.
What do you think about the use of fading out in songs?
Exactly what sweden said. I'm not much of a vinyl fan, but I love my vinyl copy of YHF because Pot Kettle Black actually ends on it rather than fading out like it does on the CD. _________________ kill yr idols
Sometimes it sounds like a lazy/uninspired way to finish a song, and at other times it sounds really good, as if the song never wanted to end and still existed somewhere far away when the next song is already playing. Pretty cool effect when the song has a catchy heady melody or cool guitar laces (e.g. "Some Girls Are Bigger than Others"). Which doesn't mean it's not a lazy way to finish the song anyway.
I try not to get too hung up on this. If I did it would ruin a lot of songs for me. _________________ If you're reading this, that probably means that I had something to say.
I've never been a fan of it. I mean, even if it just means you do something simple to resolve it, just end it. I kind of understand fadeouts in songs where it's just going crazy and everyone's basically jamming and stuff, but still, they ended it in real life at some point, I assume, why not just keep recording it?
I mean, it's not going to ruin a song for me, it's just a pet peeve. _________________ Progressive Rock
