Songs That Are Longer Than You Think
Great songs. Dangerous rotation choices.
Some songs feel legendary until everyone realizes they packed a sleeping bag for the third act.
Length changes the room
A long song is not automatically bad, but it does take up more rotation time and asks more patience from the crowd.
Earn the long pick
If the room is packed or the host is moving fast, think twice before choosing a song with multiple emotional eras.
Know when to cut yourself off
Sometimes the power move is choosing the shorter crowd-friendly option and living to sing again.
Takeaway
Respect the rotation before you unleash the nine-minute journey.
