This Week…song Titles That Are Long…like REALLY Long! And…why?!

There are a few reasons why bands/artists, when they name their songs choose LONG titles! Sometimes they want us to know what the song is really about so a bit of an explanation IN the songs title. Sometimes the record label wants long song titles because when we read the title…our interest in the song spikes as we want to know more…so we buy the song/record to find out…

There is a couple reasons…there are more but we will get into that this weekend! Here is the list!
