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

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.

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.

Every song on Blind Idiot God's Undertow, esp. "Wailing Wall."

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

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

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.

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

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 (seventeen years ago)

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

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

― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 19 October 2013 23:15 (twelve years ago)

I could listen to the coda of Portishead's Machine Gun for twenty times as long as it actually is.
