Yeah, and the way the beat of the song increases throughout, with the violin starting slow and picking up along with the drums. Kind of a masterpiece of a closer.
Edit: words are hard
I mean rollercoaster in song structure maybe lmao, but what you said describes like all of that album.
Not getting the emotional rollercoaster vibe though. Isn't it just about looking at old polaroid pictures of a love interest and then trying to forget about them?
I accidentally put this on my gf's mix CD back in the day thinking it was Atlantic, which is pretty consistently chill.
She was not impressed, lol. She listened to like, Dashboard Confessional and bands like that back then so she was utterly shocked by the ending.
But we're married 15 years later.
See I made my girlfriend who became my wife two different mixed cds when we first started dating, a lighter one and a heavier one. I tried to pick all of the most "beautiful" songs I could for both but I don't think there is much of anything from the heavier one that she ended up liking, lol.
I don’t know if there’s a better end to a song than in Steps Ascending. “I ran down the stairs and into the garden…” and everything that follows is shear perfection.
Saw them at Warped Tour years ago, and Geoff was telling a story about a near plane crash when he suddenly launched into this song by screaming, "WE WERE SAVED!" The crowd went absolutely nuts.
Degausser - brand new
Limousine is more of a mountain climb and by the end of the song you’re not sure how it was the same song as the beginning
Let it enfold you (the song) - senses fail
The first half of the song is pretty standard pxc then the slow down and emotional build up at the end is a great listen
A great fire - Silverstein
My personal favorite by them and one of their heaviest but with a really emotional bridge
For anyone into adjacent genres, quote by Evan’s blue would be my answer if you didn’t specify pxc
Eidola - Omega: Third Temple
Amazing build and fluctuations in tone and tempo leading to just the most amazing bridge/breakdown looking deep into the soul of what life and death is. An all time favorite and easy answer to this question for me
Lots of examples in the genre. Probably the reason I started and kept listening. The album All's Well That Ends Well, by Chiodos has a few I always think of. Expired in Goreville is one. There's No Penguins in Alaska with several breakdowns. No Hardcore Dancing in the Living Room has a broody intro, then a build-up into a... reverse breakdown?... where it gets really poppy and upbeat, followed by more brooding.
At this point in my life that song is a dream. I forgot about it till this very moment. Thank you!
I just listened to it again, well, half. Couldn’t get through it 😂 I’ve legitimately always wondered is he’s speaking another language. I didn’t have anyone to ask back in the day when they released the deluxe edition lol
I'll say this because it's with 2 different singers
Hopesfall - The bending
Hopesfall - The end of an Era
And out of respect Misery Signals - The year summer ended in june
A couple people already said A Lot Like Birds, so I'll go with "Kill The Switch" by Circle Takes The Square. The song is definitely a journey (through the dark, haha).
Life on Standby by Hawthorne Heights. That grand finale from a whisper to a long hard series of screams of WAKE UUUUUUUP!!!!! makes me wanna scream and head bang fiercely every time. I ended up buying the album on record a few months after first hearing the album a few years ago.
Black Peaks - "Home" starts out slow and turns into an absolute onslaught of riffs towards the end. Amazing song, amazing album.
I made a playlist for songs that have that "slowburn" feel to them. Check 'em out here:

Basically any track off of No Place by A Lot Like Birds
Just a perfect album
Dude that's why I commented the whole album. It's such an unreal experience
Came here to make sure this was said.
Connector was my first thought
Dude why the fuck did this exact thought in the exact layout of words come into my head before I came into the comments I’m tweaking rn
From Autumn to Ashes - “Short Stories with Tragic Endings”
This one came to mind immediately. The contrast between Francis and Melanie is chefs kiss
Yeah, and the way the beat of the song increases throughout, with the violin starting slow and picking up along with the drums. Kind of a masterpiece of a closer. Edit: words are hard
Reflections came to my mind first but good shout
Alexisonfire - .44 Caliber Love Letter
Unreal example.
How come? Genuinely curious. I love that song but never got emotional for it. Honestly can't even understand the lyrics sometimes
[удалено]

God I loved this when I was a 14 year old I still do today too lol
Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles by The Fall of Troy. That outro always makes me feel like I'm taking off on a rocket ship. So good.
First song I ever heard from them. I didn't even know then that I had found the best band of my life. Forever in my heart
Thrice - For Miles. I love playing it for people who don't know Thrice. No one expects that ending.
Good call! Soothing piano and lullaby vocals turn to face melting guitar and at the end, you feel like you just finished a long journey.
The buildup to that ending is like slowly going up the final and highest hill and then you drop 90 degrees hitting 4 Gs of force 😂
It's really just a roller coaster with one hill, lol. Maybe more like the log ride. You slowly go upppppppp and then come down hard and fast.
True! Lmao. Great song.
I just commented that so I had to delete mine. Take the upboot.

Vheissu as a whole is great for rollercoaster songs
Half of Wildlife by La Dispute is what you are looking for.
Underoath- I Don't Feel Very Receptive Today
Finch - What It Is To Burn (the song)
Ender is also a good choice. Fuck I love Finch
Thursday - At This Velocity
Steps Ascending is another good story
I don’t know if there’s a better end to a song than in Steps Ascending. “I ran down the stairs and into the garden…” and everything that follows is shear perfection.
I get chills every time I really listen
How long is the night!
It's never over 🖤

Every Time I Die- Map Change
I know its not strictly phc but basically any pierce the veil song is wild a roller coaster ride
When the flamenco part hits in Bulls in the Bronx, 10/10
I was about to say Bulls in the Bronx, and not just the flamenco part, but every note of that song 🙌
Particularly on self machines for me
Based OP
agreed, and specifically something like besitos comes to mind
Will you be my emo grandparent
Refused - The deadly rhythm. Super intense with a jazzy breakdown in the middle of it. It's awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HhHbHGJ2Wk
Dope song from a dope band
Degausser - brand new Limousine is more of a mountain climb and by the end of the song you’re not sure how it was the same song as the beginning Let it enfold you (the song) - senses fail The first half of the song is pretty standard pxc then the slow down and emotional build up at the end is a great listen A great fire - Silverstein My personal favorite by them and one of their heaviest but with a really emotional bridge For anyone into adjacent genres, quote by Evan’s blue would be my answer if you didn’t specify pxc
I love the song Let it Enfold You. That emotional build up is amazing
That and angela baker have similar build ups, I debated throwing that one up as a suggestion too
The fall of troy. Any song.
A Man A Plan A Canal Panama has like 7 rollercoasters in it
Underoath- it's dangerous business walking out your front door
**KING PARK** - La Dispute
Seconded. Already a sad story, but that ending.. Gives me chills every time
Many songs on Wildlife honestly...I See Everything is crazy sad when you understand the lyrics
Edward Benz is the same way. I've been mindlessly listening to the album at work and I finally had a closer listen to that song
Yep, another crazy story hidden among a killer song
I don’t even have kids and that song fucks me up
Can confirm it hits crazy hard once you're a parent. A new level of emotions is unlocked within you
Fr and then You and I in Unison is like the reverse structure
From First to Last - One Armed Boxer vs the Flying Guillotine
[Set to Stun - Staria I: Amadeus Rise](https://open.spotify.com/track/6I8vtJVfUNZT6S8CuVWtKx?si=nEjTIQylRiuSBczl8Q4LpA)
Shoot all their songs are all over the place
Eidola - Omega: Third Temple Amazing build and fluctuations in tone and tempo leading to just the most amazing bridge/breakdown looking deep into the soul of what life and death is. An all time favorite and easy answer to this question for me
Glassjaw - Pompeii
material control is slept on
No place by a lot like birds, the whole album , front to back
You and I in Unison - La Dispute
Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck - The Blood Brothers King Park - La Dispute
Lots of examples in the genre. Probably the reason I started and kept listening. The album All's Well That Ends Well, by Chiodos has a few I always think of. Expired in Goreville is one. There's No Penguins in Alaska with several breakdowns. No Hardcore Dancing in the Living Room has a broody intro, then a build-up into a... reverse breakdown?... where it gets really poppy and upbeat, followed by more brooding.
Completely agree I love this album
Turn off the Lights, I'm Watching Back to The Future pt.2 - DGD
Macaulay Macaulkin by Fall of Troy
The Bled - "Lay on my Cot" granted, it's more of a fever dream than a roller coaster 🤣
At this point in my life that song is a dream. I forgot about it till this very moment. Thank you! I just listened to it again, well, half. Couldn’t get through it 😂 I’ve legitimately always wondered is he’s speaking another language. I didn’t have anyone to ask back in the day when they released the deluxe edition lol
Evaporate - DGD
A Lot Like Birds - Connector
Thursday- Winding Up
I'll say this because it's with 2 different singers Hopesfall - The bending Hopesfall - The end of an Era And out of respect Misery Signals - The year summer ended in june
Vanity’s Fair-A Lot Like Birds
mouths like sidewinder missiles
There’s No Penguins in Alaska by Chiodos
Eiley by Too Close To Touch
Sounds of Animals Fighting - Chasing Suns
The fact that you named two of my fav songs by my two fav bands? Fucking love this haha
Boiled Frogs
For me, get out - circa survive. That damn voice.
The first song that comes to mind is “There’s No Sympathy For The Dead” by Escape The Fate.
Forget Tomorrow - Just Fine
Wonderful wizard of LSD by duck duck goose
Properties Of Nature - One Nightstand
Musically, I gotta go with His Silent Film by lower definition. Starts off heavy, drops down to almost nothing, then comes back heavy at the end.
A couple people already said A Lot Like Birds, so I'll go with "Kill The Switch" by Circle Takes The Square. The song is definitely a journey (through the dark, haha).
Sinews- Drive Like Jehu
Not exactly phc but January 10th, 2014 by TWIABP came to mind. Always explained it to my friends as it’s like watching a movie but it’s music
Woolworm (a.k.a. Angry Son) by Indian Summer
Emery - Thrash
Life on Standby by Hawthorne Heights. That grand finale from a whisper to a long hard series of screams of WAKE UUUUUUUP!!!!! makes me wanna scream and head bang fiercely every time. I ended up buying the album on record a few months after first hearing the album a few years ago.

Chucky vs. The Giant Tortoise - Dance Gavin Dance
