These are some of my favorite long songs and I'm doing a long song blog for the songs of Meat Loaf, and Neil Young. My working definition of long song is at least 7:00, number in parenthesis is how long the song is. First up a few long songs by Neil Young:
"Down By The River" (9:20):
"Ordinary People" (18:13):
"Cowgirl In The Sand" (9:08):
My favorite of all of Neil's long songs. This is off his amazing CD "Sleeps With Angels", a CD you should really add to your collection. "Change Your Mind" (14:45):
A perfectly fine song as it is, but it would be so much finer if a few minutes less: "No Hidden Path" (14:33) (This version is "only" 9:47):
Now for the master of the long 7:00 + minute song, Mr. Marvin Lee Aday. He's better known as Meat Loaf:
For those wondering the name of the female singer is Aspen Miller. "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) (10:48):
"Bat Out of Hell" (8:29):
"Objects In The Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" (7:39):
"Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (8:25):
"Life Is A Lemon and I Want My Money Back" (8:18):
"A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age." Ain't that the truth! "Everything Louder Than Everything Else" (Wasted Youth) (7:59):
"A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" (7:31):
This song is 7:58 on some of his CDs, but I can't find a good video for that version. I went with the "You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth" (7:58) video below:
