I like this song. Its almost playful for Boris. And its incredibly short – not that boris particularly goes in for long-windedness like some i can mention on this site (me).
There is something good about short. Is it Teen-angel that manages to tell the story of a girl who is given a ring by her boyfriend, while in a car that gets stuck at a rail road crossing, they jump out when they hear a train coming, but she left the ring in the car and runs back to get it and gets killed – thus Teen-angel: she died for love. But the whole song 3 or 4 verses and choruses and a middle eight is over in 58 seconds! It takes longer to explain the song than to hear it.
So, Are we downhearted? yes we are. but there is always hope.
here’s hoping you like it.
TEENANGEL UPDATE
ok it seems its 2.35. But looking though the American Graffitti track list – 40 songs, only 3 make it over the 3 minute mark, 6 are under 2 minutes. Thats pretty cool.
But there is a songthat is under a minute (i know there a lots, napalm death etc.. under a second) but it must be on some other film sound track – i shall go and look for Lemon Popsicle. My brother loved this stuff so i ened up listening to a lot of it and still have a soft spot for early doo wop / rnr. no i dont like early elvis. To be fair my brother also had emi label Anarchy in the UK (rotten,matlock,cook & jones) which is pretty cool.
