Favorite Long Song
|
"Long" for me means at least 10 minutes. But "Glosoli" is one by my favorite rock band, Sigur Ros. I could post just about anything by them:
“Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.” ~ E.M. Cioran
This song by Daniel Zott is good, reminiscent [WOO HOO FINALLY SPELLED IT RIGHT - TOO MUCH BEER] of Grant Lee Buffalo's early stuff:
Heavenly Union (the whole song can be heard at the link) The lyrics are from a parody by Frederick Douglass of a popular southern US hymn at the end of his irst autobiography, highlighting the hypocrisy of the Christians of his day in support of slavery (or simply looking the other way). come saints and sinners hear me tell how pious priests whip jack and nell and women buy and children sell and preach all sinners down to hell and sing of heavenly union they'll bleat and baa dona like goats gorge down black sheep and strain at motes array their backs in fine black coats then seize their negroes by their throats and choke for heavenly union they'll church you if you sip a dram and damn you if you steal a lamb yet rob old tony, doll, and sam of human rights and bread and ham kidnapper's heavenly union they'll loudly talk of christ's reward and bind his image with a cord and scold and swing the lash abhorred and sell their brother in the lord to handcuffed heavenly union they'll read and sing a sacred song and make a prayer both loud and long and teach the right and do the wrong hailing the brother, sister throng with words of heavenly union a roaring ranting sleek man-thief who lived on mutton, veal, and beef yet never would afford relief to needy sable sons of grief was big with heavenly union love not the world the preacher said and winked his eye and shook his head he seized on tom and dick and ned cut short their meat and clothes and bread yet still loved heavenly union another preacher whining spoke of one whose heart for sinners broke he tied old nanny to an oak and drew the blood at every stroke and prayed for heavenly union

Kent, 747:
This song depresses the hell out of me, but I love it.

Going to see THIS in concert tonight-- one of my favorite classical pieces, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade:

Wow! So many songs listed on this thread fall well before my time.
Yes, I'm a young one, and a bit of a metal head. Not only one of my favourite long songs but also one of my favourite pieces of music comes in the form of: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VF0BlXP-0Y A masterpiece in every sense of the word. This is what Nightwish is all about.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
I will likely go see a performance of Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 in October in Memphis:
The text by James Agee: Quote:We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville Tennessee in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child. Moves me to tears EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I've got a recording of Sylvia McNair with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra which I like. Also on the program is Copland's Appalachian Spring. Should be a winner.

Iron Madien - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
It's based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem of the same name.
"How is it that a lame man does not annoy us while a lame mind does? Because a lame man recognizes that we are walking straight, while a lame mind says that it is we who are limping." - Pascal
