Top Ten Rock Songs That Start By Fading In
Many songs from the 1960s to the 1980s faded out as the song ended. The engineers would gradually pull the volume down as they mixed the song until it got completely quiet at the end. Today we're going to talk about the opposite; these are about songs that start quietly during the intro and fade in until they reach full volume.
The song fades in as the acoustic guitar plays the main chord progression.
The song fades in over a short clip of noisy drums before the guitar riff kicks in.
The song fades in as George Harrison plays the opening riff. Apparently this was the first time that a fade in which is used on a pop song (and presumably, a rock song too).
The intro slowly fades in over the first two chords until David finally comes in.
You can hear a backwards piano slowly fade in, playing the first chord.
The whole thing slowly fades in.
The band members were in the studio jamming to this song and Tom Dowd had to tell the engineer to start recording it. This is why it fades in at the beginning.
The intro fades in over a bunch of guitar feedback and pick slide noises.
Gotta go with my favourite band here.
Another metal song that fades in during the beginning. I added this by the way.
It fades in as Alex Lifeson slowly plays the main riff
How is this not number one or two?
The song fades in slowly with the first chord being played by a synthesizer. I put this at the bottom because the fade in itself is pretty uneventful, but the rest of the song is obviously top notch.
This is a metal song, but it fades in during the beginning. I added this by the way.
"All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
There is nothing I can do
I'll just keep on lying to you"
The bass and drums fade in. First the bass and then the drums.
