Songs that are too short

[theFijian]

What songs do you wish were just that little bit longer for you to enjoy? I'm talking about songs which end before they barely have got going (i'm not meaning Napalm Death type songs which commonly only last 8 seconds anyway!) My first nominations are:

Neil Young - Till The Morning Comes - 1m20s
Pixies - Distance Equals Rate Times Time - 1m24s

I listen to a lot of punk and hardcore, so most of the songs on my playlist are fairly short. There's a few that I wish had been extended a bit though.

Spray Paint - Black Flag (00:32)
We're Tried Nothing and We're All Out of Ideas - Kill Your Idols (1:03)
Earthbound - Strike Anywhere (1:09)
Long Story Short - With Honor (1:34)

The Gothsicles - "I Can Tell That You Shop At Hot(t) Topic" (1:07)

 

[SparkyMaddie]

can't think of any!

"XXZXCUZX Me" - Crystal Castles (1:52)
"Come On In" - Jan Mink (2:21)
"Projections" - Juggaknots (1:10)
"No Child of Mine" - PJ Harvey (1:08)

 

[Buckeye]

I always thought In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida could have gone on a bit longer.

 

[FishBowl]

I find November Rain by Guns 'n' Roses way too short!!

YES. Any punk song, in general, I think.


When I was a teenager, I would've easily have said Liz Phair's older stuff. I could never get enough...


Now, I'd actually have to think more about it.

I would say more the half of the Beatles catalog is too short for me. Especially on Revolver and Rubber Soul, but thats what the "back" button is for I spose.
