>song fades out WRITE A FUCKING ENDING TO YOUR SONG. FADE OUTS ARE NOT AN ENDING. I DON'T WANT TO BE LISTENING TO YOUR SONG AND THEN HAVE IT JUST START GOING AWAY OUT OF THE BLUE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WRITE A PROPER ENDING. FUCK YOU.
IF YOU'VE EVER WRITTEN A SONG WITH A FADE OUT, PLEASE KILL YOURSELF. IT WORKS LESS THAN 1% OF THE TIME. IT'S COMPLETELY AMATEURISH, UNPROFESSIONAL, UNSATISFYING, SHMUZAK-TIER COMPOSITION.
I don’t see anything wrong with that at all, unless it’s on like every song. calm down

you're part of the problem. You see NO sanctity in composition. Artists' are releasing their life's work in an album, trying to make the best music possible, yet they are too lazy/apathetic to put in a little extra effort and have their songs end in a satisfying way?
If you release a song with a fade out, it's INCOMPLETE. UNFINISHED.
And from an aesthetic perspective, the sound of a song fading out is horrible. It is not musically appealing in any way.
Well I suppose that sometimes fade out is justified, it's not like it's bad 100% of the time, but it's overused

Nah fade outs can be used effectively. It’s a tool, it shouldn’t be a crutch though. It’s a perfectly valid ending, albeit overdone. If every song just ended on the I chord of the song that’s boring too
Elijah Clark
what if I have a finished song but decided to extend it slightly by ending with a fade out becuase i thought it sounded nicer that way?
Wyatt Williams
if you make a deliberate decision because you think it actually sounds better than it could be okay. But I think so many of the fade outs are done out of laziness/apathy and they sound horrible.

>song ends abruptly with the word fade obnoxiously overdubbed on top
But I like fade outs because it helps to remind me that what I am listening to is a song, a piece of music that I am using to escape reality. The fade out to me triggers an emotional state of mind, wishing to stay forever trapped in the song that appears to be playing forever, but instead I am returning to the grim reality I so wish to forget until the next song plays.
I’m a big fan of the false fade out like on Isolation.
Ryan Ross
i think the point of a fadeout is that it gives the sense of infinity or a story that goes on, or just fades into the distance instead of ending coming to a stop that resolves the song and its story is a totally different feel
Samuel Rogers
fucking love when songs fade out into ambient sound effects or a transition between songs
Adrian Rogers
I always liked how Zappa ended songs he didn't know how to end with random sound bites instead of letting it fade out.
the fadeout together with the little dancing guitar variation at the end seem to suggest a road and possibilities that open indefinitely in the distance, fitting the words, while just ending it on I would give a sense of finality
Parker Barnes
> a sense of finality or closure

I Know It's Over is the only good song that fades out

>As a reference to the film and its title, the song has no distinctive beginning, nor an end. While many songs fade out, "The NeverEnding Story" not only fades out, but also fades in, thus making it "never ending". youtu.be/Gf1WT8VEZxk get limahlpilled

Why does a song need to end?
Daniel Diaz
How do you end a song like Yellow Submarine? With a fucking Cymbal? I
