Songs with the best outro you have ever heard?

Think mine are contained within-
Great Song Endings...

 

"Racing in the Street" by Bruce Springsteen

 

Led Zeppelin - 'Kashmir'

 

The The - Uncertain Smile

 

Suspicious Minds. I love the fake end.

 

Bloody Well Right on Supertramp's Paris Live in 1979.

 

Pixies - No. 13 Baby

From their superbly crafted & exhilarating album Doolittle {1989}. One of my favorite outros ever!

 

The Dukes Of Stratosphear - The Mole From the Ministry

From their lusciously flavored & majestic EP 25 'O Clock {1985}. An exquisitely brilliant outro for this mind-blowing song.

 

This!

 

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

 

Genesis - The Musical Box

The whole closing section starting at 7:37 is among the most goosebump moments in music's history ever

 

TIED for #1 :

Time Waits For No One - Stones
Layla - Derek & The Dominos

 

Last Day of Summer-Kirsty MacColl

 

Deerhunter - Desire Lines

 

The Concept, Teenage Fanclub.

I’ve heard it described as a musical representation of the mental anguish the narrator feels over his actions. It’s also has a cracking tune.

 

Be Bop Deluxe "Sound Track".

 

Running Down A Dream. Mike Campbell's amazing blazing guitar outro.

 

The Beach Boys - Celebrate The News

Marvelous B-side to their excellent but underrated 1969 single Break Away. The outro for this song epitomizes everything that's luminously ingenious about The Beach Boys.

 

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

Kate's breathtaking debut single released in November of 1977. The music world would never be the same again.

 

So many

What is coming to mind at the moment is Dire Straits - It Never Rains

 

This one is hard for me to answer, as I have two different favorite kind of endings, which are either a unique cold ending or a long fading ending.

Off the top of my head, here are a few of my favorites ...

Cold endings:

ELO "Sweet Is The Night", The Raspberries "Nobody Knows" and Badfinger's "Day After Day", which all have great Beatles-like guitar endings.

Jellyfish "Bye, Bye, Bye", The Beatles "Something", Supertramp "Take The Long Way Home", Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and Billy Joel's "Scenes From Italian Restaurant", which all have cold endings that build up and give you that same great feeling that you get at the end of a good movie, when an orchestra builds and leaves you smiling or sad.

Long fading endings: Songs that take their time to fade into silence.

Steely Dan's "Third World Man", The Alan Parsons Project "If I Could Change Your Mind", The Eagles "Hotel California" and The Rolling Stones "Rocks Off".

If I had to choose one from the above, I guess that I would go with Billy Joel's "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", but it has to be the SACD 5.1 mix, played at room filling volume, where you can actually feel the room come to a beautiful silence at the end. I personally find this experience almost religious in it's effect.

 

'Hands across the water'....bit from 'Uncle Albert' is just breathtaking
