The New Pornographers: The Body Says No

Just after shooting this clip, I realized what it was that I didn t like about Twin Cinema, or at least that made me rank it well below Electric Version: The nonstandout songs go on way too long. This is one of those songs. It s a decent album track not a contender for song of the year by any means, but a good enough listen, until you realize that it ends with about a minute and a half of extraneous chorus repeats. If you realize this at a live show, you ll also notice it happening with other songs from this album, but not with songs from their previous albums. I m not sure why they took that approach, as all of the toolong songs could just end before the repeats, but there you go. The song in tomorrow s clip, also from Twin Cinema, is perfectly compact, so maybe there is no good explanation.
