[Inertia]

Not quite sure if someone else already made a thread about this since I'm paranoid towards the search function. Anyways, as the title says, what are your favorite conclusions to a SP song?

[.absof.]

Without thinking too much about it; Hummer

[_Revolution_Blues]

off the top of my head, SIYL and home, both great climax/endingsw

[Elphenor]

"We really love the USA!"

[oryann]

Thru the Eyes of Ruby, hands down. My god what a beautiful reprise. I love how song just fades into it..

Also, I've always loved the end of Beautiful, what a magical ending. The music fading out and becoming more reverberated.. really leaves an impact, almost like the song doesn't 'end.' Especially with those lyrics being the last of the song : "I'll be under the stairs forever, neither here, nor there, just right beside you."

Other notable mentions are Disarm, Shame, Blank Page, Behold!, and Cupid.

[astralweeks]

"Silverfuck", Beautiful", "Shame", "Try, Try, Try" (just for the repitition of the term "skinned knees")

[Inertia]

I've always liked the piano outro in Farewell and Goodnight. Other favorites would be Hummer, Ruby, Beautiful, Disarm, and Geek U.S.A.

Ruby for sure. IMO one of the best things they ever made.

[Feriluce]

Well others have said my opinions, but In The Arms of Sleep has one of my favorite endings/lyrics too.

"Suffer my desire...for you."

That part is brutal... what a powerful song.

[snail33]

a few:

blue skies bring tears (the one repeated vocal melody on all the different closing lines, and then the real end--love how it gets more and more loud and distorted)

luna ("i'm in love with you" and that gorgeous string part, and then that little pause and the final pretty chord)

thru the eyes of ruby (a salving after a strafing)

crush (the slightly slower bass ascendancy and then the deliberately slow last few chords)

for martha (all those beautifully spacey guitars)

snail (the stop on a dime thwack followed by the last chord to tuck you in)

disarm (strings)

the everlasting gaze (as things really start raging and the train seems closer and closer to running off the rails--but never does, and just stays in ever-intensifying lockstep, with jc teaching a clinic)

muzzle (self-explanatory)

no.

galapogos is better

thru the eyes of ruby (a salving after a strafing)

no. you're wrong. thru the eyes of ruby is better than thru the eyes of ruby.

crush (the slightly slower bass ascendancy and then the deliberately slow last few chords)

i don't have a crush on this song. why does anyone?

for martha (all those beautifully spacey guitars)

very pretty, and i agree, but i am older so i understand it better. you couldn't possibly fathom it.

snail (the stop on a dime thwack followed by the last chord to tuck you in)

tuck you in? this is a song, not a person. what do you mean?

disarm (strings)

this song is popular and hardly has any relevance anymore. why bother?

the everlasting gaze (as things really start raging and the train seems closer and closer to running off the rails--but never does, and just stays in ever-intensifying lockstep, with jc teaching a clinic)

the everlasting pain i have from listening to this song is only combated by my inability to understand your love for it. what is life?

muzzle (self-explanatory)

you need a muzzle for getting your opinions wrong.

Sure, let me drop my drawers for you. I'll go real slow for you because I know you're a snail and all.

Agreed. I love how that is the last song on the vinyl sequencing of Machina, really fits.

[oryann]

Glad to see so many 'end of Ruby' fans. I feel like that little section is nearly the most beautiful piece of music ever recorded.

what you said about luna

also i swear, ruby's outro deserved to be its own song, yah stumbliene is sorta it but they feel different

[StarsAtHome]

Baaaang-baaang-baaang-baaaaaaang: ROCKET

[mkoasis]

I'm going to say Daydream. I always thought that "I'm Going Crazy" was the actual ending of the song.

[JSapp]

I like the end of Starla

it certainly caps an amazing song in a lovely, deeply affecting way. i will confess it didn't click with me until someone said it here recently that it was a variation on the theme from the opening instrumental.

[Feriluce]

Marquis In Spades. Not only one of my top favorite Pumpkin tunes, the aggression at the end is killer.

"Angels, barbed wire
Fuck you, desire"

Yeah I know what you mean, it's the perfect 'sit back and let it sink in' moment.. It's so beautiful.

And yeah, to be fair, I never really even noticed it much until someone on here mentioned it being 'the most beautiful piece of music ever written' (there was a thread, can't remember where). So I went and listened closely and was just amazed I'd never caught on.

I love how it's just the perfect moment of the album for it. It's a reprise, so it's almost like reflecting back on the previous songs/stories, and just breathing and winding down. And being where it's placed (right before that amazing ending lineup), it sets the rest of the album up so well. It really does feel like you're transitioning from Twilight to Starlight.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

supposed to go in other thread, nvm

Ruby!! The end is just beautiful amd I listen to it over and over. I wish they made whole songs like this. Very dreamy.

[Arachnea]

Ruby is beautiful. Blank Page and For Martha, too.

:cheers:/> definitely. If it wasn't so god damned perfect for the end of Ruby, I'd wish it was a whole song. Even so I do... That mere 40 seconds is just pure beauty, in every way and color.

[Burma8]

Was gonna say Ruby but it's got plenty of love on here already so I'll go with Farewell and Goodnight - for practically the same reason.
