How to make my songs longer (instrumental, guitar)

DJSammy+Heaven · 04-07-2008, 02:23 PM

They're really short. I can't put the chorus in too many times, cause that'd get boring, y'know? I hate sitting through a song where the chorus is repeated twenty times. Any way I can make them longer?

More words?

Just do a Sonic Youth & stick 3 minutes of guitar feedback in the middle of them.

play them at half speed.

or just keep them as short songs a la dwarves.

Also, try adding some more instrumental passages/intro/outtro

Fruity loops drum solo, works like a charm! And when that gets boring just wail over guitar noise until the end.
I think I just heard a cash register?

metaphors work for me... those can go on forever and once you can get one on topic, then the others will surely follow
