How Songs End, Etc. Opinions Appreciated?

[ChrisB777]

When it comes to music these days, I ve noticed and maybe everyone does, that at the end of songs they always just start repeating the main part. For example, the song that I will post with the following link (forgive me for the atrocious choice of song to use as an example) is totally repetitive at the end from about the 3 minute mark she just keeps repeating the lyrics until the song finishes...



Please answer truthfully, it's of importance to me what people may think

Thank you

"at the end of songs they always just start repeating the main part".
"Always"? I don't think so.
Quite a lot of the time maybe, but as Murdo said, this is a tried tested and passed technique.
What gives you the right to write off this song as "atrocious" I wonder, it doesn't do much for me, but I can hear its merits.
I wonder if your question is just a passing rage comment.

Even The Beatles did this (All you need is love?). I am not keen on it either in many cases- eg Ellie Goulding repeated a line about 30 times at the end of one of her singles last year, and it suggests to me a lack of ideas - but it's up to each artist to make whatever music they want and up to us whether to buy it/listen/switch off before the end.

It's just product, no different to any other commodity. Get cheap tat out there for the punters.

The bits about this song that annoys me more is the "square root of 69" line and why she keeps asking her Nana what her name is. It's no less repetitive than most Drake, Rihanna and other chart fodder. It also reached number one so I doubt Rihanna & Drake will be too concerned about criticism.

a fashion in ending pop songs is important to you?????

[andy-hughes]

As advised, it's a standard writing technique.

Pop songs work on hooks, and memories work on repetition.

This system is both of those working in harmony (did you see what I did there!!).
