Fireflies (Light Messengers)

Today's song comes from a dandy little emo (alternative grunge?) band called Saosin.

It's the final track from their 2009 album IN SEARCH OF SOLID GROUND:







Ringing in at eight minutes and thirty seconds, this is likely the longest pop song I've ever blogged about.

In my opinion, few songs can be longer than 5 or 6 minutes without getting pretentious or even obnoxious.  This song fits the bill for me.  Musically it isn't doing enough to warrant over 8 minutes.

Maybe there's something I'm missing.  Maybe the song is just eight and a half minutes too long? 




If anyone in internet-land has something to add to what I've already said, feel free.

For now, a happy week to all.
