long songs

notorious lightning - destroyer
9 min. 51 sec. from notorious lightning and other works ep, 2005, merge records.
this is far superior to the version of notorious lightning that opens up 2004's your blues. far superior.

have i ever mentioned that i love destroyer?



from her to eternity - nick cave and the bad seeds
5 min. 33. sec. from from her to eternity, originally released 1984.

not my favorite nick cave song, but pretty fantastic nonetheless. he's great.



oh comely - neutral milk hotel
8 min. 18 sec. from in the aeroplane over the sea, 1998, merge records.

long song. i love this album.



shangri-la - the kinks

5 min. 20 sec. from arthur, or the decline and fall of the british empire, originally released 1969.

the kinks are the best british band of the sixties, and possibly, in my opinion, ever. EVER.




that should do.

(apologies for the random picture sizes. and apologies, too, because two of those are not even that long and i was too lazy to upload any more.)

edit: okay, how could i not put another nick cave song on this post? i couldn't not, so here you go. bonus!

the mercy seat - nick cave and the bad seeds

7 min. 17 sec. from tender prey, released 1988.

this is actually one of my favorite albums of all time.
