Songs that go on and on after they 'end'

[SteveLikesMusic]

I love these.
Examples:

Jimmy Eat World - Goodbye Sky Harbor
Death Cab For Cutie - Stability
Midtown - So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb, We're Safe

you guys got any more?

What I'm talking about is...just a simple melody or lyric or something will repeat on and on for at least like 5 minutes after the real song stops.

[EmoCanHeal]

Haha, I usually skip to the next song after those. And those songs with like minutes of silence after them? Irritating.

Hmm. For music, the bonus track from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' Don't You Fake It comes to mind. There's at least two times in the song that you think it's about to end and it just continues, nevermind that you had to wait through 2 minutes of silence after Your Guardian Angel to get to it anyway. xD; Good song nevertheless.
Konstantine from Songs for Silent Movies by Something Corporate is kinda like that too. A 9 minute song. Pretty, though.

And for silence, A Modern Myth off 30 Seconds to Mars' A Beautiful Lie. About 2 and a half minutes of a decent song, then around 1o minutes of silence before there's another minute and a half of music. Crazy, I tell you.

[EmoCanHeal]

Haha, good one.

[indexfor...]

Pretty much half the songs on every post rock album ever.
hahaha

yes its so true

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Pretty much half the songs on every post rock album ever.

A+

[Dirty Ernie]

A by Cartel

[indexfor...]

after the climax there really is no point in going on, i mean honestly, ok not really

but the song names could be less pretentious

[splat out path]

I think the opening track on the new Wildhearts album takes it. It should end around the 3-minute mark, but they manage to drag it out for an extra 6 minutes of riffs and solos. Why are they trying so hard to recreate their early albums? :(

[theguy77]

"the sun and the moon" by mae and "good to know that if i ever need attention all i have to do is die" are great ones. i wish "stay together for the kids" by blink would have a longer ending, with the piano improv and everything.

[CellarGhosts]

Bad Religion - "Bored and Extremely Dangerous"

I know it's not what you're looking for, really, but it does "end" and then there's silence that builds into an array of sound effects, before the song picks up again.

[theguy77]

oh oh "limousine" by brand new... they go with the ending solo and just play around with random sounds on the guitar for like 2 and a half minutes lol

[CellarGhosts]

Also,

"I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore" by the Bled and
"What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas" by Fear Before the March Of Flames

[TheOtherAndrew]

Bad Religion - "Bored and Extremely Dangerous"

I know it's not what you're looking for, really, but it does "end" and then there's silence that builds into an array of sound effects, before the song picks up again.

Both good calls.

[alyssa_k]

You Always Say Goodnight by The Juliana Theory

[TheOtherAndrew]

Foo Fighters - Come Back
Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying
Bob Dylan - Visions of Johanna

[musicroxmysox]

the last song on the old academy is.. cd you keep thinking it's going to end but it just keeps going

[secretsociety92]

Toto - White Sister is the only one I can think of.

[silentgoodbye]

Norma Jean - Creating Something Out of Nothing....

" Like bringing a knive to a gun fight. " x14132532523498

it makes me want to kill myself.

[underthetalking]

The Fire Theft - Sinatra

[CellarGhosts]

"Please Play This Song On the Radio" by NOFX.
Classic ending :-D

[fghtffyrpls]

I know these examples aren't really what you were talking about, but on a handful of songs on The Execution of All Things by Rilo Kiley after the real song stops, Jenny just begins to sing these odd stories from the view of a little girl.

I was going to say Limousine and Good To Know... by Brand New, but those have already been said. I think you could also consider Jesus though.

[BGP]

deathface

[Daveyhavok832]

Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth

[CellarGhosts]

Both good calls.
Very true. That BR song is so good.

Foo Fighters - Come Back
Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying
Bob Dylan - Visions of Johanna
And good calls there, too.

the last song on the old academy is.. cd you keep thinking it's going to end but it just keeps going
Yeah, the first time I listened to that song, I thought it was going to end at one point, but it kept going.

[Dan CiTi]

Finch - Ender

[Dan CiTi]

Good To Know is one of BN's best.

[duhpunk]

freebird

[elvis2x]

Every Mars Volta song.
Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
Green Day - Homecoming

[TK]

Bright Eyes. Love them, but sometimes the things they have at the beginning or at the end of songs gets annoying.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
Green Day - Homecoming
Seriously? Or just because they're 9+ minutes?
Bright Eyes. Love them, but sometimes the things they have at the beginning or at the end of songs gets annoying.
In the liner notes of Noise Floor, Connor says he does that to scare off casual listeners. I think that's awesome, quite frankly.

[fghtffyrpls]

Good To Know is one of BN's best.


Agreed.

[theguy77]

^ i second that motion -- lyrically, too. that and "jesus" are two of the best lyrical pieces ever written.

[CellarGhosts]

Hey Jude - the Beatles

Great song, with a melody that repeats over and over untitl the actual end.
Although, I get a little tired of it some times. It's not like JEW's "Goodbye Sky Harbour" which I can listen to without getting sick of the repitition.

[CellarGhosts]

You love Brand New too much, there are better lyricists out there.
True. Brand New are good, but there are better lyricists. For example; Bob Dylan. or, Bruce Springsteen.
Again, I like Brand New and all, but I get tired of it when people go on about how BN are god.

One time at a concert my old band was playing at, this really generic crappy emo band was playing there, and the singer asked the crowd if "anyone had a copy of Your Favorite Weapon" He said something to the extent of "You know, the album that set the bar lyrically for every band around today..."

[Yes. And?]

i hate songs like that.:shrug:

[SteveLikesMusic]

PEOPLE, i'm not talking about long songs like the green day ones mentioned, i'm talking about a simple melody or single lyric that gets repeated for a long time after the real song ends.

[CellarGhosts]

i hate songs like that.:shrug:
You hate "Goodbye Sky Harbour"?

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Slowly Through A Vector - Say Anything

[tubasam]

I never knew it was intentional o.O Thought it was an editing error. Annoying =/

[hailthewarrior]

I know the album version of Drop Dead, Gorgeous's "The Show Must Go On" has over 10 minutes of silence.

[Yes. And?]

You hate "Goodbye Sky Harbour"?
hate? no. but 16+ minutes for one song? it'd kill my battery life in about four plays. i have a shitty cd player...

[Dan CiTi]

You love Brand New too much, there are better lyricists out there.
Me too, It's cause Jesse is so hot and has me under his spell!

[Dan CiTi]

hate? no. but 16+ minutes for one song? it'd kill my battery life in about four plays. i have a shitty cd player...
What's the difference between one 16 min song and 3-4 "normal" length songs?

[Yes. And?]

What's the difference between one 16 min song and 3-4 "normal" length songs?
my battery life, for starters.

[TheOtherAndrew]

hate? no. but 16+ minutes for one song? it'd kill my battery life in about four plays. i have a shitty cd player...
Shit son. You really should get an upgrade. One hour of battery life even sucked in the 80s.

[CellarGhosts]

hate? no. but 16+ minutes for one song? it'd kill my battery life in about four plays. i have a shitty cd player...
Ok, I see. The only time I do listen to that song is either on my stereo or my computer/iTunes, since I rarely have 16+ free minutes whenever I'm using my portable Cd player. But once I did listen to that song on my CD player on a really really long car ride a couple spring breaks ago. That one, and Midtown's "So Long as We Keep Our Bodies Numb...." surprisingly, my battery life was still good afterwards.

[reductiondesign]

I hate it when the last song of an album has like ten minutes of silence from random talking. It stops me from putting my iPod on shuffle.

[Gumbyjag]

Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth


It's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3

I'm gonna go with Coheed and Cambria- God Send Conspirator
The Light and The Glass is another one.

[Yes. And?]

Shit son. You really should get an upgrade. One hour of battery life even sucked in the 80s.
it was a bit of an exaggeration, but yeah, my battery life starts to decline after one or two runs of a cd, and is usually gone within a few days. i may just have to give in and get an ipod.:shudder:

i'll just by the cd's of bands i really care about and want to support, and download their songs.

[halifaxonfire]

why not just rip the cds?

[CellarGhosts]

The werid thing is, my CD players battery life lasts longer than my iPod's.
But then again, Ive had my iPod for over a year now, so maybe its time I sent it in for a battery replacement.

[Yes. And?]

i have no clue how to do that. i suck at computers.

you have to send it in for batteries? huh? aw, see..this is why i don't want to deal with stuff like ipods.

[halifaxonfire]

definitely Goodbye Sky Harbour
i'll add All Around The World - Oasis

and most TREOS songs seem to drag on a bit to me. :shrug:

[CellarGhosts]

Well, when you first get one, it comes with a fully charged, operational battery. And, it recharges whenever you plug it into your computer. However, the battery only lasts so long, and can only be recharged so many times (depending on how often you use it)
...so after about a year, maybe a little more, it's pretty much dead.

Aside from all that, iPods are actually pretty nice. I havent tried Microsoft's bid in that market yet (Zune) but I hear they're just about the same, as far as reliability goes.

[xjoakimx]

The Bled - I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore !

[Yes. And?]

i'm listening to my cd's constantly, so mine would probably last a little less than a year. how much are batteries?

[Danny Schme]

I love my Creative. I didn't read the convo but I'm just sayin.

[Wobbie]

i'm listening to my cd's constantly, so mine would probably last a little less than a year. how much are batteries?
I listen to my old sony discman a lot, and i get the longer life batteries. The ones that have all the probably useless buzzword titles. "Lithium", "Gold", "Titanium" etc, haha. They last a hell of a long time in mine :-) Before i was getting like 4-5 hours off a normal "super heavy duty" or whatever. But with those others, i easily get 30+ hours.

[Yes. And?]

i don't think my cd player lasts quite 30 hours. i was asking ipod batteries, but thanks anyways.

[Spewk]

halloween by afi

it goes on and on and on and on

[Wobbie]

I know you were. I was addressing your earlier issue of your CD player not lasting long (I just didn't quote that post), and thought that better batteries would be a help. What kind of batteries do you use in your CD player now?

[Yes. And?]

I know you were. I was addressing your earlier issue of your CD player not lasting long (I just didn't quote that post), and thought that better batteries would be a help. What kind of batteries do you use in your CD player now?
Usually energizer or duracell.

[PaintMeBlue]

I know the album version of Drop Dead, Gorgeous's "The Show Must Go On" has over 10 minutes of silence.

i wish that whole album was silence.

[Robb]

Well not for minutes, but for a little bit... Helter Skelter by The Beatles. Ringo's scream at the end is hxc.

[Wobbie]

Usually energizer or duracell.
Okay, well if it's heavy duty, or super heavy duty, the Energizer Lithium, and Duracell Ultra or Eveready Gold will give you probably 3-4 times the battery life that those others give you. You probably won't get 30 hours like me, because it depends on your player, but it'll give you 3-4 times whatever yours gets on normal batteries, easily :-)

[trindaddy]

Ipod's are the best mp3 as Itunes is the best software i have come across for mp3 players.


i love ipods, but hate everything to do with itunes.
i just have a cheap creative muvo right now, but on one aaa battery i get about 16 hours of play back. sure it only holds about 300 songs, but i never use it for anything besides the 15 minute walks to classes so its perfect for me.

[fildango]

Fall of Troy is ridiculous with the ends of their songs, totally pointless solos...

[fghtffyrpls]

I have had quite a bit of trouble with my iPod actually, but I still love it. It's evolved into a love/hate relationship between us. It breaks occasionally still and I slam it on my knee and fix it Fonzie style. I'm not complaining though and I'm not saying don't buy one, but if you do be careful with it.

iTunes owns and that's really all that needs to be said about it.

[Wobbie]

Yeah, i have a 20 gig Sony Walkman mp3 player (And i love it. Way more reliable than an iPod, cheaper, and way less fragile), and the Sony Connect software it uses to put mp3s on it is absolutely awful. Very slow, and it errors and shuts itself down a lot. My brother has an iPod Shuffle, and it's so much easier using iTunes to load stuff onto that. I wish iTunes was made compatible with other mp3 players. There used to be a program that could make iTunes compatible with any player, but it's been taken off it's website (maybe due to being sued?).

[Yes. And?]

You probably won't get 30 hours like me, because it depends on your player, but it'll give you 3-4 times whatever yours gets on normal batteries, easily :-)
thanks! i think i'll still get an ipod, just because it sounds pretty convenient, but of course, i'll still keep my walkman, so that helps.:-)

[Wobbie]

No problem :-) Yeah, i have both an mp3 player, and a discman, and i'd never give it away. I use it just as much as my mp3 player, maybe a little more :-D

[CellarGhosts]

Friendly neighboorhood Wobbie! haha

but yeah, my iPod's battery life is terrible lately...I dunno wheter to send it in for a battery replacement or just sell it and buy a new one altogether.

[fghtffyrpls]

I had to send my iPod in for a new battery and luckily for me (or not, you decide) it was within the first year and the warranty covered it. So I'd say if your one year warranty is still good, get a new battery. At least then when you do sell it, you can get a little more for it by saying "IT HAS A BRAND NEW BATTERY!"

[CellarGhosts]

Yeah, thats true. I think the warrany might still be good on it. Ill probably be sending it in soon.

Same here. My iPod is great when it works, but sometimes I feel like thorwing it into a brick wall.
I have a friend who has been througha grand total of 6 iPods.
Partly because his parents spoil the fuck out of him.

Well not for minutes, but for a little bit... Helter Skelter by The Beatles. Ringo's scream at the end is hxc.
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Yeah, mp3 players seem to be more reliable, but iPod/iTunes is so much easier to use. iTunes is also really well organized, and all that. The old mp3 player I had, you had to plug it in, create a folder inside in on your computer, and copy all your music files into that folder, which took ages. Plus, lots of errors, as you said. But with iTunes, I just plug in my iPod, tell it to update any new stuff, and its good to go.

Of course, I have two friends who firmly believe that anything Mac is shit, and worthless. In their opnion, iPods just suck all the way haha. But it's not like Microsoft is God either. It has its share of errors and problems. Hell, I think those Mac/PC commericals are hilarious, as are all the imitations/spoof commercials on YouTube haha.

I agree. I think that the iTunes/iPod set up is so easy and organized and that's why I love it so much.

As for the Macs, I'm hopefully getting a Macbook within the month so we'll see how that goes. Eventually I'd like to get one of the 8 gig nanos or depending on whatever, a video iPod.

[CellarGhosts]

Very much so. They keep improving it as well. My only complaint is that when purchasing from the ITues store, you cant play the songs on other computers unless you "authorize" it. Which isnt a real big deal I guess, but my friend gave me a DATA disc with a ton of mp3s on it, and alof the best songs were ones he got off iTunes, and he forgot all about the authoization thing I guess, when he burnt it. So when I asked him, he had forgotten his password and all that. So I never got them to work haha.

Other than that, iTunes is great.
Oh, and Ive been thinking of getting a Macbook or something like that one day. Im not sure though...Im gonna have to do a little "studying" to be sure its something I want to buy.

[fghtffyrpls]

I've had that happen on data disc and my friend also forgot the password. What are the chances?

I've researched the mac books quite a bit and I've wanted one for what seems like forever. I usually look at them daily. It's an obsession. It's also a dream of mine. This may make me a geek or what have you, but I do not care. The day my mac books comes in the mail will be the happiest day of my life.

LAWL, are you serious? I think on our next date I'll have to show you that...and more!

[Dan CiTi]

definitely Goodbye Sky Harbour
i'll add All Around The World - Oasis

and most TREOS songs seem to drag on a bit to me. :shrug:
Because they are not Lifetime or the Descendents and, it's an album that is cohesive in the sense that all is one and one is all. Live they do not "drag on" at all.

[Branevember31]

What's the difference between one 16 min song and 3-4 "normal" length songs?

Haha, small word, yeah? interesting. I wonder how often this happens to other people haha....
And Im still deciding on whether or not I want to invest in a Macbook. I hear alot of good words, but other than that, I dont know that much about them.

But it would be funny to see my two Mac-hating friends' reactions at me purchasing a Mac hahaha.
Maybe I'll get one now, for that very reason haha.
