Songs with interesting fade-outs

There are a couple of songs that when fading out you kinda get the impression that there's a more interesting bit to follow.

Sometimes I've had to crank the volume right up just to squeeze that last drop of music out

Songs like, "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" , "Strange Relationship", or to the real extreme "Life Can Be So Nice" (goddam there must be a longer version of this somewhere)

oh yes !!

i do the same !!!

makes u really wonder ...

I always wished there was an extended version of strange relationship capturing that clinical, robotic, clean and cold outro

Doesn't the original unreleased version (with the long sitar intro) contain an extended portion of the outro? I don't have it near me at the moment, I'll have to give it a listen later.

"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad" is one of my choices as well. Love that ending, wish there was more!

But the one I would most love to hear more of is "Forever In My Life." That cool acoustic guitar that comes in right as the fade begins is one of my favorite parts, I'd love to know where that went (if anywhere).

Imago: "You look You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. "

...mzsexybaby'GO-LISTEN-YA'LL...U KNOW I L-O-V-E YA'

4ever in my life

"Can't Stop This Feeling I Got" also has a cool fade out that starts to veer the song in a different musical direction for a few seconds before it finally fades.

I always loved the 12" version of "I Would Die 4 U" and flipped when I heard the 26:19 version from the iVault. Fantastic!!!

My choice....


VICKI WAITING

The guitar kicks in just as the song is fading out. Worst thing is that you hear some of what continues during the movie when you are at Bruce Wayne's party. That pisses me off even know, knowing it exists and sounds good from what I hear in the movie.

An interesting add on to this would be which tracks with fades have extended versions floating about?

I always had the short version of Always in my hair with the fade out. Took me a while to find out there was an extended and I was very happy with it.

Guitar (because I never got the fact that you love your guitar and kills it with a fade).

Elephants & Flowers (demo) . The singing/talking with the dark voice when it fades.


Most of the times fades hide the fact that artist didn't know how to end the song properly.

1st one that came to my mind too. Except the testicle part.

And that's what he's lost... Thatvattentipn to detail. It's no coincidence that these are all older songs.

You don't need to crank up the volume on the new stuff because one listen and you've got the message...the D&P album is absoloutelt riddled with tracks u need to crank up at the end of focus on the layers...,Onsatiable alone us about 5 different songs the deeper you listen

Rock Hard in a Funk Place

"What kind of fucked ending was that??!"

Also, Feel Good. Where he says "part 2" and it's just a tease cause it fades out seconds later. Oh well, it's probably in the vault.

I agree with the bleeps and sounds on "Annie Christian"
Also "Little Red Corvette", that scream at tha fading part is great.
And of course "Why you wanna treat me so bad". It should have been longer, It fades just when the fun begins...

I Know we're talking about 'Fade Outs' but I've always really dug the Intro to: 'Dear Michalangelo' off of Sheila's Album 'Romance 1600'

But an interesting fade out is from 'Condition Of The Heart' because the Tympani keeps 'pulsing' as it fades Seconds after the end of the song

The horns get really interesting at the end of Dear Mr. Man.

Why you wanna treat me so bad is just that song that's fun on the studio version but best left for the stage, which clearly showed back in the early 80's
