Favorite Closing Song on an Album • Page 2

Weezer's "Only In Dreams" wins this one for me.

 

Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love & To Be Loved) from Bright Eyes' Lifted is probably my famous album closer and song in general. I have heard it hundreds and hundreds of times and it always packs just as much of a punch as it did the very first time.

 

Well Soco Amaretto Lime is my favorite song ever so.

But some honorable mentions are:
3EB - God Of Wine
Balance And Composure - Defeat The Low
blink-182 - Im Lost Without You
Paramore - Future
The Menzingers - Freedom Bridge

 

@Craig Manning missing "Goodnight Goodbye". I am surprised at you

 

If we leave off bonus tracks, "Eskimo" is up there.

 

"Ode We Will Bury Ourselves" Moving Mountains
"Fin*" Anberlin

 

"Hold Me Down-Motion City Soundtrack
"Dendron"-The Hotelier
"Slips and Tangles-The Weakerthans
"Tomorrow I'll Be You"-Thursday
"Goodbye Sky Harbor"-Jimmy Eat World

 

"Tomorrow Too Late" is a criminally underrated song in general, but man, what a closer that is to In Reverie.

 

You know, I've always loved that song, but I don't think I truly appreciated it until it was something I could relate to personally. It would definitely make my list now.

 

Oh me either. Losing my Nana took that song from "this is a nice and well-written song" to uncontrollable sobbing every time I hear it

 

Yeah, pretty much the same with losing my Grandpa. I always think of it as a song I didn't fully understand until I was at his bedside, trying to say goodbye.
