Do you have a favourite pause in music?

[METALMICKY]

Having just watched Gary Moore's tribute to Phil Lynott on SkyArts I realised how much I love the couple of second's pause between 'The Cowboy's life' and 'Is the life for me'



Comes at 5:08, but you have to watch the whole thing (and probably have to have grown up with 'Live and Dangerous') for it to work.

Any other suggestions?

What's not to love about Live and and Dangerous? Probably the greatest live album ever. Superb songs by one of the most charismatic front men who tragically left us too early not forgetting Marshall and Gibson making those harmonies sing!

The split second pause between the Tracks “Master of My Craft” and “Borrowed Time” on the Parquet Courts album Light Up Gold

Taken to a new level on this version

There's loads of them in this, funnily enough:

Wonderful thread @Stato

Feast your ears on this - pause around 0.23 which initiates the dramatic change of pace - marvellous record

Truly truly delightful!
The pause, the pathos in the perfectly phrased and earnestly delivered lyrics, and finally to cap it all off that ending!
Many thanks for that

 

[Titanic]

At 26 seconds... not the most pronounced fermata in this rendition, but the best I could find on Youtube.

When we sang this in the Royal Albert Hall our conductor milked this moment in a most audacious and spine-tingling way!

Janes Addiction - Stop has a great pause.....or in this case......Stop

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Truly truly delightful!
The pause, the pathos in the perfectly phrased and earnestly delivered lyrics, and finally to cap it all off that ending!
Many thanks for that

Thanks @Dave - I agree with your every word! You normally talk sense on the ticket threads too

What's not to love about Live and and Dangerous?

I think it's the "Live" part that people typically take issue with.
