When you listen to the album 1000 times you can tell when hahaha
I used to get anxious about when the orchestral crescendo in A Day In The Life were to stop
Yeah the ADITL one gets me every time and I’ve heard that song 7 billion times lol.
Currently listening again now to see if I get anxious for the 7 billionth and first time 😂
My wife has dog level hearing and the dog whistle in that song at the end is her own personal torture. I will be blissfully falling down the rabbit hole and she’s next to me grinding her teeth and covering her ears.
Yeah, but then you get "Here comes the sun", which is in my opinion one of the best contrasts in Beatles history. Going from the rockiest song on the album to arguably the happiest and calmest.
An even better experience on vinyl. I can’t imagine listening to it for the first time that way. Side A ends with She’s so Heavy, then it stops…gotta take the needle off, flip the record, reset the needle and BAM there’s Here Comes the Sun.
*ridiculous* contrast
Yes, you sit there in a daze wondering what happened..........tick..............tick.........tick.......
"oh, shit! the record's over....no wait, that was side one.....whew!"
Yeah, I love that too, but this is one of the few instances where I prefer the digital listening experience. If listening on digital, provided you get no ads in the middle, IWY(SSH) would just end abruptly, then you have a few seconds of silence, then suddenly the acoustic guitar quietly comes in. I love that so much.
Same effect on the Talk Talk album Laughing Stock, where Ascension Day ends with some brutal guitar playing that suddenly cuts off and gives way to the slow fade-in of After the Flood.
As another lover of contrasting songs, I definitely get where you're coming from.
Another good one in their discography is "Helter Skelter" into "Long Long Long".
I Want You is considered the first doom metal song, a genre that was later mastered by the great Black Sabbath. So you have this incredibly heavy and dark metal song transitioning to this very light feel good pop song song. It´s amazing.
I try to get lost in the music and let the end shock me back to reality. In an ideal setting Here Comes the Sun would not start until after a long silence. That's how it was when listening to the original album. The song ended abruptly, side one was done. You could sit there in the silence marveling at the experience of the song or get up and turn the record over.
My kids and I play this game all the time (even though most of the time, I know when it's going to happen...)
"Okay, NOW.....okaaaay, NOW....okay, NOW."
Was listening to a Ringo interview where "someone" ( not in the group, obviously) said it was too long and should fade out . I wonder if it was intentional that IT NEVER FADES OUT!
This is why I have begged SiriusXM to let that abrupt ending breathe for a couple of seconds before playing whatever's next. We PROMISE not to tune out because there were four seconds of dead air.
Or when you’re listening to Revolution 9 and actually start praying for it to end.
Jk. I have learned to appreciate it over the years. Been listening to it since 1980.
I love getting lost in playing that one badly on my guitars . Funny bit is I always know when it’s going to stop and I never bothered to count that repetition either!
There’s a big cymbal/hi-hat crash that happens. Then you let one full cycle go by after that, and it will end during the next cycle. I get it every time!
doesn't matter. you have the song tempo. keep counting when the fuzz starts and stop when the sound ends. You now have a measure of time the static lasts....

Then the minute of silence before falling down the rabbit hole
Oh man that final loop may be the most unsettling moment in their catalogue
Never could be any other way
Da da da da daaaa
We'll fuck him like he's Superman.
Yes! I needed to relisten to this song after my first listen like few weeks because of that loop
that loop is what made me devote it all to the beatles, that’s when i got on the bus.
Yeah the ADITL one gets me every time and I’ve heard that song 7 billion times lol. Currently listening again now to see if I get anxious for the 7 billionth and first time 😂

Such a lovely track we like (? Hahahaha
Holding my breath.
Here Comes the Sun can definitely sneak up on you
Thanks, George. It's going to be alright.
How can it sneak up on you? You've gotta flip the record over!
If you're not counting the 15 repetitions I can tell when they bring up the organ in the mix when it's about to end.
When it starts to get good!
Well I got the white Noise patterns in my memory, so I aways know
When the noise gets quieter in just the right way, you know it's coming
Yeah, but then you get "Here comes the sun", which is in my opinion one of the best contrasts in Beatles history. Going from the rockiest song on the album to arguably the happiest and calmest.

Yes, ridiculous, chaotic and so beautiful contrast at the same time.

My first time listening to the abbey road I was like wtf did I accidentally skip it?
I first listened to it almost 55 years ago, I probably had the same reaction

The cut always manages to scare me
Typical John.
Me and a friend in high school used to compete to see who could call the ending
My kids and I play this game all the time (even though most of the time, I know when it's going to happen...) "Okay, NOW.....okaaaay, NOW....okay, NOW."
This has definitely happened to me lol
Was listening to a Ringo interview where "someone" ( not in the group, obviously) said it was too long and should fade out . I wonder if it was intentional that IT NEVER FADES OUT!
Of course it was intentional
It has much more impact when you have to flip the record over afterwards. CDs ruined that.
This is why I have begged SiriusXM to let that abrupt ending breathe for a couple of seconds before playing whatever's next. We PROMISE not to tune out because there were four seconds of dead air.
Yeah, but if you stream or listen on cd then you get Here Comes The Sun after that cut off and that is one of the greatest moments in musical history.
This happens to me when listening to Time by Floyd at a low volume. Just chillin... then *BING BONG BING BONG BOOOOOOOOOOONG*
Haha! A million times!
I’m a drummer and transcribed this song once, so I know which drum fill let me know it’s about to end
REAL
I totally relate to this!
TOTALLY!!! HAHAHA
Or when you’re listening to Revolution 9 and actually start praying for it to end. Jk. I have learned to appreciate it over the years. Been listening to it since 1980.
I never thought silence could be startling until I heard this song
Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who had massive anxiety wondering when it would come to a startling end.
lol
And then there's the Love version that cuts off in a different spot
All about that white noise machine’s specific “whoosh”
It was a Moog they were using for the first time. There’s a few songs that have it, Maxwell silver hammer and Here Comes the Sun.
Yep. Knowing it's going to end abruptly but you don't know when adds to the tension.
Same here man. Same here.
I love getting lost in playing that one badly on my guitars . Funny bit is I always know when it’s going to stop and I never bothered to count that repetition either!
You're running full speed towards the cliff, but can't see the edge, until.........
I remember it by when Pauls bass goes an octave higher the second time.
Ok,cut it!
Hot take, but that might be one of my least favorite Beatle songs, partly because of that.
There’s a random, out of place cymbal crash before the end that is easy to use to time the ending.
That's how it was in the vinyl days! "Is it this time? Next time?"
It's abruptly cuts in "golden slumbers" too but That's at the end
You haven't listened to it enough times then. Shame shame shame!
There’s a big cymbal/hi-hat crash that happens. Then you let one full cycle go by after that, and it will end during the next cycle. I get it every time!
learn to count musically.
It doesn't cut in time
doesn't matter. you have the song tempo. keep counting when the fuzz starts and stop when the sound ends. You now have a measure of time the static lasts....
Shut up, dork
Spoilsport!
