Songs that resolve perfectly to your ears

[KingPrawn]

Hey all. Hope you're well?

I never get tired of hearing this arrangement and how it resolves. Please bring you best resolutions to the yard! 

For me it starts at 3.04 resolves around 4.07

Possibly one of the reasons it became the classic that it now is, is the structure of Stairway to Heaven, including the come down at the end.

"In my life" The Beatles. Perfect pop song with a perfect ending.

[Barking Spiders]

This cos of the very underrated guitar solo from 4.11 to the end

It's not done by Roland as the vid shows but by sessioner Neil Taylor

Perhaps guitar solos belong at the end. Whoever the session guys were on this they did a great job. Fun bass line too.

another really interesting bassline, a bit more sophisticated this and this one I know. Andrew Powell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Powell look him up and you realise he knows a bit of music theory! Wish I did, so much for the idea that knowledge stifles creativity

Tori Amos' Winter puts me slightly on edge all the way through and I find myself almost holding my breath until the chorus begins with a sigh of relief. But the tense feeling soon builds again until the beginning of the next chorus. 

It's a beautifully sad song.

Awaken by Yes, Supper’s Ready by Genesis. 

 

[Stub Mandrel]

Gorgeously tight ending after 8 minutes of fun:

 

[Old Man Riva]

From 2:26, and features a really tasty descending bass line...

 

[WAYNESWORLD]

Wonderful World Louis Armstrong

In terms of music that resolves perfectly we should never forget Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, an opera which drags on for lasts three hours and fifty minutes and never, ever resolves to the tonic until the very last chord (and even that's a bit ambiguous in some peoples' opinion).

[Paul S]

Not sure if this is a good example or not?  A damned fine choon, either way
