[2004] To fade, or not to fade...?

[Coelacanth]

How do you like your songs to end?

'Fading out' - The song gradually decreases in volume until silence, and the song is over... (Example: Ayu - SEASONS)

Or:

Uhmmm 'Not fading out' - The song just ends, with a drum hit, or whatever, you know what I mean... (Example: Ayu - INSPIRE)

I prefer the 'Not fading out' because I think it gives more closure to the song, it really bugs when the 'fading out' technique is used to end a song and the artist is still singing... -_-

For example, I would have liked 'Dearest' to keep going, I started to really like the 'Lalalala's' at the end... and then it started to fade out... -_-... It's not so bad when the singing has stopped though... I also think it would be easier for the artist with no fading because when its performed live they wouldn't have to like add an actual ending... I don't think I ever seen a fade-out live perf. x_x

heh, weird topic, sorry if i'm not clear... So what do you think?
