My sub-standard web-connection led to a Ramona Falls song cutting off at 1 minute... and you know what? It was a GOOD song, but I knew what the rest of it would be like almost exactly... I'd already been exposed to most all the creativity, and the rest of a 3.50 modern pop-song was inevitably going to be just repeats. Yeah, repeats are good when you love something - but that's what the back button is for, surely...

This got me thinking - maybe the accepted wisdom on song length is simply wrong in the modern world when time is what we're most short of...

So here's a bit of fun - I initially asked my song-writer friends (@jamestinman, @jameselliottwit, @Iain Lowery, @redcassette) to write a 1-min song - the theme simply "the most dramatic you can be in 1 min" - but YOU'RE welcome to join in if you fancy a bit of unbridled creativity...
