Much like albums, songs have a sweet spot that constitutes the perfect run-time. A song that’s too long or too short, straying too far outside that Goldilocks zone, needs to go the extra mile to impress you in order to justify it. The pitfalls of a lengthy song are self explanatory – it needs to have plenty to say, and it needs to deliver it in a way that keeps the audience invested for the duration – but what about a short song? Tracks like that can’t afford to waste a moment, every second is a precious commodity. There’s little room for an arrangement to grow and develop, no time afforded to dawdle at a leisurely pace, only so many chances for a chorus to sink its hooks into you. It has to charge in all guns blazing. ‘A Long Talk At Taylor’s’ is the perfect blueprint. Over just 2 and half minutes it delivers an unrelenting barrage of electrifying hyper-pop positivity. A fleeting flash flood of upbeat energy strong enough to shake loose every last shadow clouding your mind. From its effervescent groove and razor sharp riffs, to its irresistible earworm chorus and its euphoric tale of new love blooming, this joyous adrenaline shot of a track just hits with the unrelenting momentum of a freight train.
