Octavarium

A song longer than 90% of songs created, Octavarium is 24 minutes long and one of my favorites. Composed by Dream Theater, it is their third longest song. It definitely shows the pinnacle of music creation. This song is one of my favorites because of the use of keyboard in the intro, and throughout the whole song. Octavarium is not a song showing a message, but rather, telling a story. Divided into several different parts, each one with it's own message that fits into the whole theme in the song and each portion relating to the others.
I feel that this song is pretty damn amazing. In my opinion, the best song you can think of does not even compare to this song. Go ahead and think about it. I don't implore you to listen to this song, I demand it. I'm sure you are turned off by the fact the song is 24 minutes long. Don't be a baby and just listen to it. It's not that you won't like it, it's that you will not be good enough to like it. The song will reject you, it will tell you to go on listening to whatever you listen to. You will forever be doomed to listen to the mediocracy that is current generation music.
Song length isn't an issue to me. I can listen to a song like this several times over before I finally get bored. I've heard people tell me the longest song they've heard was seven minutes. I'm sure they'd enjoy listening to a song four times that length. It's not that they ignore the greatness of a song like Octavarium, it's just they've never heard it. I'm sure that if someone wasn't some kind of musician they would have never heard of Dream Theater, and thus, they would have never been exposed to this kind of music. I will make it my job to show you what good music truly is.
