He Is Legend - I Am Hollywood mewithoutYou - In A Sweater Poorly Knit Copeland - When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out
honestly not too big on southern air as a record, the title track/closer is rly good but the other three trump it for me personally
well if you're going to love one that's the best choice, haha. I have cooled off on that album a fair amount honestly although it's still my third favourite of theirs. I do love the closer though although I think the closer from the Anchor & Braille record he put out that year "Before I Start Dreaming" was by far the best song from either album and honestly I'd be fine putting it in here and it's probably about on par with *Fin for me now as my favourite song he's written, ha.
haha, they're not the most memorable project to be fair. That song though. Apparently it was originally written as the closer to Vital before they wrote "God, Drugs & Sex".
Oh snap! Why post my list when you've already done it for me?? Actually in all seriousness I can't really even pick. A bunch of mine have already been named. But, in addition: Burden - Mutemath Hurt - NIN Bon Iver - Re: Stacks Phoenix I. Rising II. Falling - Night Verses Together We Will Live Forever - The Fountain OST (Clint Mansell / Kronos Quartet) White Walls - BTBAM You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones In The End - Vanessa Carlton About A Burning Fire - Blindside No Better - Sherwood If It Means A Lot To You - ADTR Everything - Lifehouse Great White Whale - Secret & Whisper
I have some songs that immediately come to mind. The Wonder Years - I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral. This track is just so infectious and anthemic, and the way the songs are the record are interweaved both lyrically and Instrumentally really tie together the ideas and emotions expressed during the course of the album so perfectly. Green Day - Whatsername This track is the only way I could ever imagine American idiot ending. The sort of retrospective and accepting lyrics really contrast some of the other ideas on the album well, and sonically it was a nice step away from the grandiose, huge tracks that are on the record and instead closed the album with a song that was simple and sweet. The Front Bottoms - Plastic Flowers Easily the best closer in The Front Bottoms discography, it combines almost everything I love about them with all the growth and changes that Back On Top brought. And besides, how great is that spoken word monologue? I genuinely laughed the first time I heard it, and I still get at least a smile from it every time.
All Thursday closers are obvious choices Some that I don't think have been mentioned: From autumn to ashes - Short stories with tragic endings La dispute - You and I in unison Appleseed cast - Dream for us The good life - A golden exit Neutral Milk Hotel - two headed boy part 2 Pianos become the teeth - Say nothing Also great picks on cursive stayin alive and mwy in a sweater
Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul. This one song explores more ideas than most albums do . Los Campesinos - Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks This will forever be my favourite closing track. It also happens to be the best closing song to a live set ever.
Death Cab for Cutie / "Scientist Studies" Coldplay / "Up With the Birds" The National / "Hard to Find" Bon Iver / "re:stacks"
Some of what I'm about to post has probably been mentioned but here we go Motion City Soundtrack - Hold Me Down Yellowcard - Back Home Hotelier - Dendron Gaslight Anthem - The Backseat Firework- The Hotbed of Life The Academy Is...- Almost Here
Taking Back Sunday - Slowdance on the Inside I always thought it'd be cool for them to end a show with this and walk off while the crowd sang the end.
Trying to think of song I haven't seen mentioned, even though I agree with many of them... The Hold Steady- How A Resurrection Really Feels Kanye West- Gone Kendrick Lamar- Mortal Man
The National - Mr. November The National - Hard to Find Bon Iver - Beth/Rest Passion Pit - Where We Belong Pianos Become the Teeth - I'll Get By Pianos Become the Teeth - Say Nothing Barcelona - Please Don't Go Sky Ferreria - Night Time, My Time Postiljonen - Atlantis Tame Impala - New Person, Same Old Mistakes Cloud Nothings - I'm Not Part of Me Just some of the ones that instantly come to mind.
Bay Of Pigs (Detail) - Destroyer Lose My Head - Damien Jurado Killing Time - Bayside Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice - Modest Mouse Pale Green Things - The Mountain Goats That's just offhand, there's just so many.
I'm not sure if Fireworks meant Oh, Common life to be an opener or a closer to the record. I have it as the closer, and think it works perfectly. But I could totally see it going either way.
