John Cale - Paris 3838

― JKex (JKex), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 05:58 (eighteen years ago) link

"by your side" by cocorosie
i mean, at least the 'diy kanye' bits before the beatboxing girl gets totally offbeat and kind of ruins it

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 06:00 (eighteen years ago) link

off the beat i mean, the song is kind of offbeat as it is

"Da Rockwilder"

So true! The best beat on the album, and it lasts, what, less than two minutes?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:34 (eighteen years ago) link

and take me back by Tahiti 80 - this song is so gorgeous, I am sad every time it finishes...
I need a 3min version
-- Arnault (arnaul...), August 23rd, 2005.
is this off the first or second album? i love the second.

Well, it's on their 3rd album : fosbury. A new style for them - more danceable and still great
But Take me back is a very simple pure pop song

― Arnault (arc73hk), Monday, 29 August 2005 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Mira - "Heavenly Slumber" (ends too abruptly -- could've used another minute or two for a proper denouement)

Particularly that breakdown in the middle where most of the song is hushed to nearly nothing except for backup vocals and drums.

I wish "Stay Fly" were three and a half hours long.

Brian Eno - The Big Ship
Richard Thompson - Night Comes In (it probably is twice as long live)
Napalm Death - You Suffer
Spacemen 3 - Transparent Radiation (the first version, the second isn't as great)
Devin the Dude's "Briar Patch" could go on for hours and I'd be happy.

― clotpoll, Sunday, 1 January 2006 00:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Every song on Blind Idiot God's Undertow, esp. "Wailing Wall."
Jamie Saft, "T'Khelet," esp. the meditative ending after the vocals.

MONKEY PILOT (coincidentally another 'pilot' title) BY COMSAT ANGELS. OH YEAH!!

― corey c (shock of daylight), Sunday, 1 January 2006 08:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Oasis: "Married With Children". Should have added a little bit of bass, a couple more details in the arrangement and some backing vocals as well to make it really good.

well tuned piano

― Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Friday, 3 April 2009 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't get why 'i'm in love with a girl' should be longer. it's a perfect, concise length for such a simple tune.

― Charlie Howard, Saturday, 4 April 2009 03:19 (fifteen years ago) link

Songs I often think I'd like to be longer, and then second guess that maybe they really are as long as they need to be:

"Lazy Day" - Boo Radleys
"Extra Kings" - Avanlanches
"I'm So Tired" - Fugazi

Westward Ho! - Moondog

― stroker ace, Saturday, 4 April 2009 10:12 (fifteen years ago) link

Pretty much ever one of those short little Boards of Canada sketches. Then again there's probably a reason why they're short.
