Okay, I'm just writing this here because I just want to say that I really really really wish The Show Must Go On by Pink Floyd was a lot longer. I just love the whole Beach Boys sound they're going for, and then hitting me with this really smooth change in tone. Ugh, why do you have to be 1:35 long??

SO, what are some short songs you like that you wish were longer?

Bohemian Rhapsody. While it's not short, it could easily be waaaaaay longer.

"All I Want" by The Offspring.  I can listen to that song over and over and over and over and still think "if there was only another 30 seconds"...

Just thinking that exact same thing. I also wish the piano music from The Terminator's sex scene was longer. One of the most beautiful pieces of music i've ever heard.

Dirty White Fingernails by Blood Cat Love. It's not to short, it's 2:42 seconds. But the song is so damn catchy I wish it was much longer.

Even though it's already epicly long, and the instrumental goes on a while (in a good way), I wish the instrumental part of "Layla" went on longer. I could not possibly get enough of that beautifulness.

I don't wish that Obstacle 1 was longer, I just wish that it never stopped playing as I commute every day.

It's like 1:40 so I don't know what your on about :-)

That said I can't claim to no anything else from the band, so all their other stuff may very well be longer.

Pretty Little Ditty by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers... Crazytown took the guitar riff for "Butterfly" from that song... Nice song, wish was a full 3-4 minute song...

Had some others, can't think of them at the moment :p

Although the audio at this link doesn't do the song justice (pretty bad quality), Plump DJ's Intermission is way to short for how good a summer tune it is.

YYZ by Rush. Sure it's over 4 minutes but in comparison to some of their other songs, that's definitely not long. It's just that every time I listen to it, I'm sad when it ends.

Yamaoka's "Not Tomorrow" (it plays in SH1 during Lisa's "death") I don't mind the fact that it's too short - But it has no ending. Yamaoka seems to never have written one.
Shame.

Pink Floyd's "Speak to Me/Breathe." Hey, the song is phenomenal enough, and it does run around the four minute mark. Honestly, that is the quickest four minutes I have listened to a song. Pink Floyd has some relatively longer songs, so if this was like another minute or two longer, I'd love it even more. Can't really get enough of the vocals repeating "Breathe."

Bah, what the fuck.

Ha, thanks, but dude, yes, right back at ya! I agree, the end to November Rain could go on for  a few (if not several) more minutes and I would not mind, that'd be sweet.

Stairway to Heaven. Yeah it's really long, but it's so perfect in every way i wish it would just continue. lol. Also like every Pixies song. And 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins.
