Day 7: A song that’s 5+ minutes long

I have been going back and forth between four or five favourite Iron Maiden songs, and now I see that one was just posted several minutes ago, but I can't see what it is where I live... so I'm just going to pick one blind, and hope that it's not duplicating the selection above. The odds of picking the exact same one are pretty long with the incredible amount of excellent songs that they have, but stranger things have certainly happened.
Apologies in advance if I'm inadvertently echoing the recent choice...

Iron Maiden - Dance of Death

Cliff Burton's Magnum Opus. An instrumental, it is almost all bass, and shows what can be done by a skilled and creative player. There are videos out there that isolate just the bass, and it is pretty amazing. For example, the opening that sounds sort of like a Hammond organ is two bass lines, one played forward, the other backwards. I miss Cliff, and can only wonder what he would have done had he not been killed at 24. Cliff 'em all.

"Orion," Metallica

Cliff 'em all, indeed. Luv his work!

This is the final track off Bright Eyes’ fourth album. Conor explained in an interview that he used to think it was cool to write songs with 10 verses. He said he doesn’t like to put out music that long anymore but he still writes in that way, which is why some of his lyrics sound disjointed. He’ll write a super long song and then pick his favorite few verses to record.

Bright Eyes - Let’s Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and to be Loved)


This is the clip from the interview I referenced. The whole interview was great if you’re a bright eyes fan. Lots of little nuggets.

Edit to add: I hope one day his notebooks get published. What I wouldn’t give to read those.

Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine - Eric Whitacre
I've probably said this before, but Eric Whitacre is one of the most brilliant composers of the late 20th and 21st centuries. His ability to draw the listener into the music and lyrics is unparalleled. This is one of my favorite pieces to perform, as exhausting as it is to get through.
 
Day 8: A song that’s acoustic


R.E.M. - Dream (All I Have To Do)

This was on a video, Athens GA - Inside Out from the days of videos and it then got forgotten until a few years back, but it's been re-found as the albums have been reissued, etc. I love the covers R.E.M. have done - somewhere i have a bootleg tape of live covers from their early days.
