Loooong songs

Recommended Posts

I don't have any problems with long songs, as long as they manage to keep being exciting and good - I don't really care about the length of a song, until I like listening to it. Also, I started as an 'electronic' child, listening to many mixes, so I got used to long songs/mixes.

Some of my favourites:

Her Name Is Calla - Condor And River

Sufjan Stevens - Djohariah

M83 - Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun

Wild Dogs In Winter - The Butcher

Isten Háta Mögött - Mária Dala

Fuck Buttons - Flight Of The Feathered Serpent

Burial & Four Tet - Moth

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Midnight Black Earth

interior palette toeshoes - she goes upstairs, he goes downstairs

long songs, only will be good if it's composed throughly.

or else it will sound so tiresome to hear.

some good long songs often developed nicely,

from intro, verse 1,2,3,4,5, coda, to outro.

but some other that are bad having too much repetition,

either the riffs, or chorus so it doesn't really enjoyable but sounded a 3 mins songs stretched into 10 mins.

also i need to note that so many long songs having parts where riffs took 2-3 minutes. It needed lots of skills with the instruments, or else it will sounds really annoying.

I don't find so many good long songs in VK.

But there is some good numbers from J-rock or J-metal in general.

some of my favourites, of course Vinushka, Ware, Yami Tote... and Macabre by DeG

some other has been named, like Mutyumu.

For Western, most of things that Dream Theater ever conceive is pure gold for me.

Also, new favourite, Turisas - Miklagard Overture

There is some more, but i forgotten. Will post more later.

As for me, I don't consider a song longer unless it's over 10 minutes long. I base it off of my morning walk to class. If I can finish the song before I get there, it's not "long". Some of my favorites are in here, starting of course with:

Mono - Com(?) 15:56

Mono - Yearning 15:38

Boris feat Merzbow - 無き曲 14:08

Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum 13:56

Electric Red - 大空魔術~Magical Astronomy-EP- 24:43

Amia Venera Landscape - Marasm 14:36

Martin O'Donnell - The Covenant 19:09

Amesoeurs - Au Crépuscule De Nos Réves 11:17

The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight 15:36

Boris - Loose/Red 21:30 (I listen to them combined since I don't have a badass system ; o ;)

Boris - Giddiness Throne/ Evil Wave Form 20:11

Boris - Interference Demon / The Evil One Which Sobs 21:18

Boris - Absolutego 65:34

Boris - Flood 68:49

I have a ton more but these are my favorites out of all of them.

@Arithmetica, how can you mention The king for a 1000 years but not Keeper of the seven keys :emo:

LOL my list was actually much longer but instead of listing a bunch of white people bands no1curs about. I left only the most awesome of the awesome long songs from my already awesome list to post. Keeper of the Seven Keys had made my original awesome list but I decided to cut it to not make my list so stupidly long. Otherwise, for example I would of listed pretty much all of Wintersun's only album LOL!

Boris and Kekal probably make the only long songs I actually enjoy and even then, I really only listen to the songs in their entirety when I feel like having background music or something - I don't really *immerse* myself in every second of it. I enjoy long songs that are really atmospheric and soothing, but I generally find them boring and unnecessary.

Long songs I ESPECIALLY dislike are certain instrumental power metal songs (deedle-deedle guitar solo that goes on for about 7 + hours) and "songs" like the crap Akita Masami makes that is just electronic farting noises on loop.

My attention span is short, so I like 30 second - 1 minute songs that are really chaotic and crazy bursts of energy as opposed to drawn out, epic works.

the last song of the grindcore band Fuck i'm dead has silence for over 30 minutes, so the song itself is like 1,5 minutes and then silence for 30XD

makes it a pretty long album for a grind bandXD

Stuff like that is retarded. And I always end the songs as soon as they're over unless there's more to come.

Anyway, a little off topic, but when talking about lonjg Grindcore albums:

Agathocles - Theatric Symbolisation of Life 74 min

Agathocles - Black Clouds Determinate 69 min

Agathocles - Superiority Overdose 59 min

The most impressive thing is that there's one+ hour of Grindcore without getting boring, annoying or anything like that.

I love long songs, wouldn't have imagined that some years ago since I couldn't bring the motivation to listen to songs longer than eight minutes :D

My favorite long song is April.#02 by Kashiwa Daisuke, which is about 27:36. His songs Stella and Write Once, Run Melos, which are about half an hour too, are also awesome.

The longest song I've listened to so far is Heliogabalus by Rorcal, 70 minutes of Doom/Drone - hard to get into but really intense.

Other favorite long songs of mine:

-Condor & River by Her Name Is Calla

-Most long songs by Envy

-Burial At Sea and The Battle To Heaven by Mono

-Past Midnight by The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble

-Pulse/Surreal by Lantlôs

-Sur l'océan couleur de fer and the two parts of Écailles de lune by Alcest

-Suicide Season by Bring Me The Horizon (tell me what you want, it's amazing)

-Zu Träumen wecke sich, wer kann and the whole Durch den Traum album by Dornenreich

-He Films The Clouds Pt.2 by Maybeshewill

-Like It's Your Last by Devil Sold His Soul

-Prayer by Mutyumu

There are a lot more, but those ones are the first that come to my mind.

Basically anything from Acid Mothers Temple (any of their variations).

THAT.

I also enjoy most of Sigur Ros's songs, and other post-rock artists.
