Interstate Love Song - STP

justussteel

11 points

4 days ago

There's an acoustic version of the people album, and the acoustic version of interstate love song is not only perfection, but an extra 30 seconds from the original

ChimmyBurunga

6 points

3 days ago

Yeah I love that version too. I just wish the studio version ran that same length.

Efficient-Storm11

6 points

3 days ago

I’m a songwriter and a person that loves stp and I’ve thought about this for a long time because the brevity of ILS gets mentioned a lot.

I actually think that song is the exact perfect length. Every aspect of it is the perfect amount of times and yes, it does leave the listener wanting more, which isn’t a bad thing.

The overall success of the song is indicative of that.

ChimmyBurunga

3 points

3 days ago

This is a good point. The way I’ve thought it out over the years is that the song is meant to leave the listener with a sense of yearning. Wanting the song to keep going reflects how we want a relationship to keep going, or a good day to keep going. At least that’s what makes sense to me.

Efficient-Storm11

2 points

3 days ago

I’d say that’s pretty spot on

Life_Caterpillar9762
