“The struggle” by The Dead Texan uses this to great impact at the end of a mostly instrumental album. There is one other vocal track on the album but by the time “The Struggle” ends we haven’t heard any vocals for over half an hour and yet they bring the vocals in on the fade out to the final track. it’s so beautiful. like a very delicate epiphany.
such a great album.
the the, ‘lung shadows’ is a bit like this, song is 4:34 and lyrics only begin at 3:12
actually, Louis, you would probably like The Dead Texan.
i like the look of stars of the lid as well...
Does “’88 aka Come Down on Me” by Lemon Jelly count?
The Replacements, “Seen Your Video.”
The Only Ones—Instrumental
Dang a dang dang dang diddle ....
“Baby you’re so instrumental, just instrumental”
’screamadelica’ by primal scream. if memory serves.
“7000 names of Wah!” Wah Heat,
and of course,
“Song for Geir” Elton John.
Song for GUY I mean.
Bowie—Sound And Vision
Cult Of Luna—Leave me here
“Voodoo Wop”—Clinic
Best this year: “Pink Steam”—Sonic Youth. Tremendous.
it’s december and this is not real ILM so i can mention ‘La Ritournelle’ here.
i always wish the last 50 seconds or so of “stand on the word” would blossom into its own song... or at least go on for longer.
i haven’t heard it in years, but isn’t “i’m getting closer to my home” like this?
i can’t remember which one, but its on the first Feelies album
Blonde Redhead, “Harmony”
The Sea and Cake, “The Kiss”
American Analog Set, “Diana Slowburner II” = vocals come in at around the third minute of a 5-minute song.
The Cure—The Kiss
the remix lindstrom did of my track
(Wha? You got remixed? Dude, put said things in that place that is available to me, and I will send you $20.)
Which is the Feelies song with the “I said oh, said oh, said oh” ending — “Raised Eyebrows?”
emma blowgun’s last stand—beulah
yep, when it’s official, i’ll get you one
“Shine On You Crazy Diamond” lasts for more than 8 minutes until the vocals come in, and then the first part lasts for no more than around 5 minutes more.
Which is the Feelies song with the “I said oh, said oh, said oh” ending — “Raised Eyebrows?”
yes. great song.
Also Pink Floyd’s “One Of These Days” fits this description.
