Tim BuckleyLong Songs
The two-minute pop song was ideal for a 45 rpm single, but some songs want to take their time and expand into something bigger. Songs get long for various reasons: maybe it's lots of lyrics, maybe it's the building of an unusual form, maybe it's just a mood that's best established gradually. On this Spinning On Air hear some long songs by Tim Buckley, David Sylvian, Lambchop, Jane Siberry, Nora York, and others.
