Title: Best outros/fade-outs
Post by: carl r on October 03, 2007, 09:31:26 AM
I really like a lot of the "outros" or fade-outs to Beach Boys / BW music. Like an aftertaste...

Lots out there but those spring to my mind are

surf's up
busy doing nothin'
and a new one... Live Let Live

wonder if anyone has more ideas?

Honestly, I think one of my favorite outros is at the end of "County Fair". I love that girl saying :Sorry muscles I don't need you anymore... LOSER!!!"  :lol :lol :lol

You know, I actually do like that one... Even the outro!  :afro

I can't answer that one... There would be too many of them. The Beach Boys (and more particularly Brian) were the masters of the outros!  :)

Edit: actually Surf's Up is above all the others.

As has been mentioned before there is too many to list but I really dig "Cabinessence" (I also love the instrumental track where the music starts up again after the final chorus that is just magical) but I just love most of their fade outs.

I'll throw out one that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet.

Wind Chimes (Smiley Smile).  One of Brian's most gorgeous vocal sections...and yeah, I know that's saying a lot!


Title: Re: Best outros/fade-outs
Post by: Jonas on October 03, 2007, 07:33:01 PM
Funky Pretty hands down is the best thing ever.

God Only Knows is tied with it in first place, followed by Marcella.

 :lol

Songs not listed:

SIP (UK version)
Make It Big
Kona Coast (the "Hawaii" section)
Goin' On
Spirit Of Rock And Roll (a capella tag, beautiful!)
Getcha Back
Lady Lynda (awesome!! I know it's not exactly from the Beach Boys)
Hushabye
Brian's Back (aka You Still Believe In Me  ;D  )

Does "Endless Harmony" count? Cause the line which I mean is 1 minute long.

Surf's Up (1971) is the best outro/fade of all time, by any act ever.
ADITLOAT is close behind.
God Only Knows is also incredible.
The California Girls fade gives me chills -- the group never sounded better and I love "girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the girls"
Let's Go Away for a While
Brian's vocal on Getcha Back fade gives me goose bumps, not because of the greatness of the song, but because it's Brian
It's OK (Denny's "find a ride")
Santa Ana Winds with Brian wailing on the harmonica
She's Got Rhythm ("never will forget her")
Hey Little Tomboy (the little solo at the fade)
My Diane
Matchpoint of Our Love
Love Surrounds Me
Baby Blue
This Whole World
All I Wanna Do
Lookin' At Tomorrow

I am very surprised "Don't Go Near the Water" hasn't been mentioned more.  Those 35 seconds are possibly the pinnacle of Carl Wilson's career as producer, which is really saying something.

The last minute of Long Promised Road never fails to give chills, even after 1000s of listens.

From POB, I have to mention:

Moonshine
Thoughts of You
Time
Rainbows
End of the Show


Also, Sweet Mountain, Surfin' Down the Swanee River, Guess I'm Dumb, and a bunch of songs from the Flame album:

Make It Easy
Lady
Don't Worry Bill
Get Your Mind Made Up
Another Day Like Heaven

Obviously I could go on and on . . .

I am pretty sure it has been mentioned before earlier in the thread

I gotta go with "Matchpoint of Our Love" for outros...something about it just makes the whole song for me.  I mean, it's still a good song, but that outro, MAN, I wish it would go on for at least a minute more.  I love when the chimes kick in with the descending guitar lick.  "All I Wanna" do is fantastic too...those out of time delayed vocals locking in with the fuzz bass just sends me over the edge.

Can "Ding Dang" be an intro AND an outro?  ;D

Oh Oh!  And I can't believe no one's mentioned the Wilson/Paley version of "Gettin' In Over My Head"!  Proof that Brian still has it.

Post by: Fun Is In on October 07, 2007, 06:26:52 AM
The intro and outro on Lady Lynda are kind of memorable.  :-D

The wood shop tools pasted into Do It Again always worked for me.

I noted this one also...maybe Brian's best vocal post-Sunflower. I remember listening to this track when MIU came out in 1978. Think how Brian diehards felt, after hearing Brian sing on 15 Big Ones and Love You, then being bowled over by the clean, clear vocal on "Matchpoint". And, then he closed the album with the equally great falsetto of "won't last forever" on "Winds Of Change". I really thought he was all the way back...

It's a three way draw between 'Til I Die', 'Surf's Up' and 'Celebrate the News'. Maybe i'd go for 'Surf's Up', when those vocals burst first kick in - wow, it doesn't get much better than that! Although the ending to 'Celebrate..' is pretty spectacular! A very undervalued tune - and it was a B-side?! How damn good can a band be to toss off a great song like that as a B-side....  Oh wait, i just thought of another: 'Funky Pretty'. The whole song seems to just build and build to that amazing fade with all those inter-twining vocals and melodies.

Good one! Which, of course, reminds me of the great a capella ending to "We Three Kings". Yes, it's time to get out the Christmas music. :police:
