Or how bands are leaving their biggest hit for the encore. From this summer: Static X left the stage before playing Push It? Well there's no point leaving yet, as they will have come back. And we only had to wait like 30 seconds, since it's a music festival, and every band has their time onstage scheduled to the minute. Leaving Your best song for the end is a good thing. It makes people stay longer, and see the whole show. But an encore, should be something extra not the obligatory song.
Vampire Weekend always closes with Walcott.
Their encores are varied, but you know the show is over after that one.
I've also noticed a pattern of what you're talking about where bands play their most famous song last more recently.
I think it has always been a thing with lesser known bands. Most people come to Your show for Your one hit so You show them other songs first, so they get to know You.
More known bands have a different pattern. You start with the single promoting Your new album, then a couple of hits, then You cram in a few other songs from the new album, which nobody wants to hear and then You finish with the biggest hits.
May I ask why you capitalize "You" and "Your"? Does that come from a region/language I'm unfamiliar with, or just a personal style choice?
It's how we write in Polish. I always thought English is the same. I always write this way.
I love learning about other languages! I grew up in US American schools, so my knowledge is based on US American English, but for pronouns (I/me, you, he/she/they, etc.), I was taught that only "I" is capitalized, unless the pronoun is referring to a deity. I have no clue why it is that way... English is weird and full of inconsistencies!
In Polish We capitalise the second person (You, Your). We do not capitalise the first or third, unless referring to a deity. And, as with everything, we have around 10 forms of "Your".
Otsego Amigo is their best song.
I said biggest hit, not best. Everybody likes a different song best.
I was not actually being super serious, Otsego Amigo and Otsego Electric are just stupid fun songs.
Push it is definitely their biggest hit
