"We love songs of all shapes, sizes, and lengths, but some are just heartbreakingly short. \"Happily\" by One Direction, for instance? Great song, but at just over two minutes, the fun ends before it's even really begun. Long ones are the best because they just keep giving, if not forever then at least a whole lot longer than the few minutes most songs on the radio last.\n\nVery in-depth research (or, ya know, Google) shows that the average pop single is between three-and-a-half and four minutes. So we rounded up a bunch of excellent songs that are twice that\u2014sometimes even more. Double the fun!\n\n\"1998,\" an indie-rock jam from Peace, lasts 10 glorious minutes. Kurt Vile's blissful hit \"Wakin on a Pretty Day\" presses on for 12. Washed Out's comparatively short gem \"Paracosm\" clocks in at six-and-a-half. What these repeat-worthy tracks all have in common is that they're long enough to get temporarily lost in the moment, but short enough that they won't lull you to sleep. So press play and soak up the weekend while it lasts.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
