Best Moments in a Song

i know what scarlett means (and she's rite)

in don cherry's "teo-teo can," when the piano/notion of harmony finally comes in (4:20)
and likewise, in pharoah sanders' "upper egypt & lower egypt," when that gorgeous groove finally coalesces out of the noise some 9 mins deep

and when "only in dreams" aborts regular song structure and effortlessly shits on all explosions in the sky-type post rock forever

the wagnerian wordless harmony that introduces verse two of "god only knows"
the key change and final chorus drop of girl's day's "기대해"
and the "you must be kidding me" bit/outro of "robocop" is still the most candid and moving kanye moment, imo

my friend Polly always loved "the bit" in See Emily Play between the first chorus and second verse

I slowed that bit to half speed on my reel to reel, it's still good

Chorus?

i.e. the "who ran the iron horse (truck drivin' man)" bits

soyrev otm about 'Upper and Lower Egypt' (and I'd also add the moment when Leon Thomas makes his entrance about a minute before the song ends)

the stop-start interlude from 2:12 through release of 2:42 lavoe’s eeeeh-eh-eh......

(^among my ‘favourite songs of the moment, fuck’ but also among fave salsa songs ever)

"you adore me," in "i wanna be adored"

speaking of all this kanye tonight: the mos def bridge in "drunk and hot girls," which is otherwise just such a fuckin' rancid heap of chaff

can't think of any other chaff heap of a song that features such a great, beautiful section

(great selections, unregistered
not sure of proper protocol i.e. what’s best way to post on this thread, like just text or start-specific link, like i just did?
but maybe it’s ok to just embed youtube (if available) & note moment of moment? i’m lazy so think i’ll just do that from now on?
anyway i'm terrible at musical phenomenology so apologize in advance; this will prob be more of current "oh yeah <3) for me)

magazine- permafrost
won’t rationalize/ excuse/ apologize for (fictional) lyrics; pretend i did
(anyway addicted to this song)

Sest Boments in a Mong

There are so many of these but one that springs to mind, because I listened to the song the other day, is when Madonna's 'Into the Groove' goes into the bridge/change for the first time. I like the chord change but it's really the bassline -- it feels unstoppable over that section.

Another one (I had this on repeat play a few months ago): 'Tiny Dancer' by Elton John -- the chord change where he sings 'HIGHway' in 'count the headlights on the highway'.

when weyes blood sings "crazy guy" in andromeda

2:40-3:30 of «Thru The Eyes Of Ruby»

Inspired by our current artist poll: the progression from lower to higher vocal register in the first two verses of Janet’s “Love Will Never Do (Without You).”

popped into my head because of Kanye in the news but there’s a moment at the end of Cam’ron’s verse in “Gone” where a saloon piano comes in that I love.
