How do I finish a song? I usually use the chorus, done differently, with less instruments, and a final though as it fades out. Sometimes it can be an abrupt ending with an echo effect. And there are so many ways to end a song. How about ending it the same way it started, but with MORE instruments as the intro part? Maybe I could use just an acapella ending too. The listener has to know and feel that it is the end therefore when you use part of the chorus to end it, it makes him want to listen to it again. Kind of reminding him about the cool part of the song.
