minuscule moments in music that move you

[naughty boy]

Two for you.



0:17, when the drums come in, and (especially) 0:57, when the synth comes in - fucking amazing, but you need it loud, on headphones


and



2:32, after the break, before the grand finale - drum roll, synths get hammered, Ferry's voice even dafter and camper - sudden end. Magic.

[Canis lupus]

"If I gave you time to change my mind"

[Canis lupus]

"The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the dream weaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I am John
And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
The dream is over"

I could list a million. Here's just one for now - 2:06 to 2:12, the way she sings the word "there":

[Darkness_Fish]

At 2:30, when the second guitar line comes in. It's been a long slow build up to that point, and then it's heavenly choir stuff. Then again at 3:20 when the faint vocals, electronic buzzing, and telephone-esque ringing kick in.

That's the way it is here these days, mister. Snail's pace on a good day.

Well, I tried. Maybe you could define it more succinctly? How about that one time when Ian Curtis had a spasm at that one gig in 1979 somewhere? Or would that be a "minuscule moment in music that moved Ian Curtis"?

[Dr Markus]

The last few seconds of any REM song.

[jimboo]

The first six seconds of Bowie's here comes the night from pinups. That amazing throat warble , it's fucking primal.

The moment in Oh yeah when they turn on a dime and get all sinister

[Canis lupus]

Well, I tried.

We know that, Zoomboogity, we respected you for your sensitivity, we thank you for it.

The moment in Oh yeah when they turn on a dime and get all sinister

plus also that bit when he says the word "guitars" in a funny accent makes me world just stand still for a moment (or something)

[zoomboogity]

Well, I tried.

We know that, Zoomboogity, we respected you for your sensitivity, we thank you for it.

Glad to help. I'm nothing if not trying.

...you don't recognize the quote, Zmbgty?
Not entirely serious

But you really can't ever knock a trier (and I do mean that).

[Minnie the Minx]

Exactly 2:16 into White Light White Heat
The crazy harmonising at the end of Rainy Night House
The first line of 'Tell it Like It Is'

No, sorry. Did a google search, nothing turned up. But no offense taken, it's all in fun!

Another moment I love is in Hazey Jane I by Nick Drake. During the first verse, the drums do this roll on the toms between every line... until he sings, "...or will you stop once and wonder" and the drums pause for just that line. Subtle, but effective.

The cracks that appear in Bowie's voice during 'Letter to Hermione' in the run up to 'well so do I'
