    I'm not even sure it's technically the loudest part of the song, but somehow that final chord is the loudest sound that's ever occurred.

I'd be remised if I didn't mention Instant Classic's arrangement of "You Didn't Want Me When You Had Me" as well, that has some insane key changes as well as some wild rhythms and they performed it so crisply 😱
