Memorable track endings

Prince has an amazing ability to build a song until the frantic end is reached. Take for example "We Can FunK'...it builds so well to reach the point of 'climax' so to speak.

What are some of your favoured track endings?

To get the ball rolling...I always liked the angered anguish of the scream at the climax of "Theives in the Temple".

I think the ending to International Lover is a perfect example.

Crystal ball-how it unwinds down. I also like Kiss extended version all the chatter and what not.

When Doves Cry
Beautiful Ones
Darling Nikki

Such dramatic beauties

I love When We're Dancing Close & Slow outro, the drums picking up tempo, the guitar strings and synths twinkling like stars, a spinning comet sound, his vocals swirling. Oh my.

When 2 R In Love, that's just mastery beginning to end

Anotherloverholeinyohead (extended) is fantastic

"What kind of f**k ending was that?"

(or something along those lines)

A lovely song, but if it's the one I'm thinking of the ending goes on for far too long and would have benefitted from being cut in my opinion. Too much of a good thing. smile

The ending of Glam Slam is quite orchestral and pleasant.

I always wanted the end of 'The Ladder' to go on and climb even higher.. If you'll pardon the pun!

My favourites are "Play In The Sunshine" and "Positivity" in that regard.

'The Word' and 'Saviour' sprang to my mind as two pretty radical track endings cool .

I completely agree! The last 45 seconds or so of Arms Of Orion deserve it's own song!

I'd say:

Strange Relationship

The Ballad Of Dorthy Parker

When 2 R In Love

Vicki Waiting

Glam Slam (the part before the string section at the very end)

In A Large Room With No Light (1986 version)

When Doves Cry

We Can Funk

Shy

and Play In The Sunshine! I agree, that breakdown should've lasted longer. I wish he would've played that breakdown live on the SOTT tour, I've never like how it was changed to segue into Little Red Corvette.

I've always really liked the ending of "Arms Of Orion" as well. It saves a lot.

Riveting? lol

Come is great, the arrangement and jazzyness before the ending is chilling.

Insatiable is another one I like.

"You say you want my hips in the air...? Oh no I dont care" I could never understand if he was saying that from a females or mans perspective.

That huge scream and all the lyrics toward the ending are great.

The ending of the 12" version of "She's Always In My Hair"..."That woman...she's in my hair...my hair"...(5:45-end).

The ending of the 12" version of "Shockadelica"..."Or is it just a mirage?"....(5:57-end).

The ending of the 12" version of "Hello"..."You see words are like shoes, they're just something to stand on"...(5:47-end).
