Question Best Part of a Song

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

There are some great songs and some truly spectacular songs...........but what about parts of a song, what is your favourite part of a song?

There are many classics like the drumming bit in Phill Collins "In the Air Tonight" Dire Straights and "Private investigations" just before the base as you hear the footsteps.

My particular favourite at the moment is Elbow "One day Like this" as it slows down...........linky thing below, at 2:30 is the best bit for me, and that cheeky smile by that sexy little blonde minx does it for me as well!!

[The Big Shrimp]

The saxophone solo in Hazel O'Connor's Will You or the build up bit in Heaven 17's Temptation, where the vocals build up to Carol Kenyon's high pitched Temptation!

Best to play that one rather than their other big hit.......well not until after you are married anyway!!!

"How's your Bert's lumbago...mustn't grumble...skiddly-bay"

(The Small Faces - "Lazy Sunday Afternoon")

Radiohead - Paronoid Android...the part near the end of the song where it breakdown and changes key and Thom York sings "Rain down..."

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Ahhhhhh, I know that bit, when the odd bloke who chops his legs and arms off then gets wrapped in swaddling by the mermaids???

On the subject of the Roses, when it gets to the chorus of 'I am the Resurrection' is a highlight as well.

Think we've had this type of thread before and I'll give the same response I gave then....

From about 3:12 to 3:18 on this -

As the music stops and it's just Beth's amazing voice for a few seconds. Sheer beauty, makes my heart skip a beat every time I hear it.

For Spotify Geeks!

Hints & Tips – Link to a specific track time
Share
Today at 09:19

Here’s a little feature that you may not know about. You can link directly to a specific time in a track by adding, for example “#1:31″ to the end of a URI, where 1:31 is the time you want to link to. Just a note that this feature only works with Spotify URIs, HTTP links do not support it.

Here’s a full example, spotify:track:2QO8cnnFW6khDuAuUAySeV#3:04 will link to what I think is the best part of this song.

So if you’ve ever wanted to send your friend a track so he could hear only the great guitar riff or fabulous chorus, now you can.

I always love the start of Blue Suede's Hooked On A Feeling as heard on Reservoir Dogs.

Oooga chakka oooga oooga....!

 

[Mad Cyril]

I like Dutch or Scandanavian rapping sections in Europop songs.

 

[Davros]

The Saxaphone intro in 'Careless Whisper' is sexy

The Piano intro, with the rain and thunder in the background in 'Set you free' is awesome.

The Bridge to the last lot of chorus in Muse - 'Knights of Cydonia'

The Pause before and the breakdown in 'Insomnia' is timeless.

Foo Fighters - 'Monkey Wrench' - the 'One last bit before... etc' bit where he doesnt breathe for ages is some good effort too!
