";s:4:"text";s:4029:" [Glimmer Of Hope] [Anneke van Giersbergen:] Through their eyes we will see [Bob Catley:] With their hands we will create [Anneke van … So much intensity in singing 0's and 1's. Only he could do so. Arjen knows how to do finales!NO TIES ALLOWED!
Symphony X has some good ones too.Universal Migrator 2: Hard choice between Dawn of a Million Souls and Into the Black Hole. Ayreon - The Fifth Extinction Lyrics. album: "The Universal Migrator Part I: The Dream Sequencer" (2000)
Can you think of similar individual moments in a song that's otherwise not your favorite, but is so good that it's better than your favorite song?
AYREON lyrics - 134 song lyrics from 12 albums, including "The Source" (2017). beginning as my ringtone so there's that xDUniversal Migrator 1: 2084, really well done to communicate its vibe and feeling throughout the song.“We’re at the gates of Avalon... in search of the graiiiiiiiiiiiil!”One of my favourite moments in all music. You're falling for this loser. :)The Final Experiment: Sail Away to Avalon as far as I can recall the songs, don't listen to it much :PWhatever floats your dragon on the sea :)Idea for Arjen's next project: Binaryeon. Lyrics to 'The Sixth Extinction' by Ayreon.
Run! All my favorite bits are more like 90-120 seconds so I'm just going to go with those.Yeah me too! You have to pick a definitive winner.The Human Equation: Many great songs, will have to go with Day Twelve: Trauma for the sheer emotion in it. (Part I - Echoes On The Wind) (Tom Englund:) It's the calm before the storm It's the quiet before the war It's the time when all will be decided It's not really my favorite album tbh)Not sure if it's 60 seconds, but...Instrumental breakdown w/Ken Hensley Hammond organ solo in Day 16: Loser.The Theory of Everything: (I still need to relisten to this one, so I can't decide yet. Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction (01011001) Lyric Video - YouTube Apocalypse! That piano -> guitar -> electric guitar sequence never fails to cheer me up.Mike Mills' layered solo performance on The Day That the World Breaks Down.. )So much yes! Also my favorite album so most songs on it are some of my fave.My favorite part of Ayreons Discography is the end of Day Twenty, there's so much emotional weight on those final two minutes.To compensate here's my list of favorite songs:I'm wondering if any of y'all are the same.
I use Run! That I am so much coolerThe Theory of Everything: Do we count the 4 epics or the 42 tracks?
Too many close second places to name them all here :)01011001: Another album with many great songs, if I had choose one I'll probably go with The Sixth Extinction, with The Fifth Extinction, Beneath the Waves and Ride the Comet close behind it.Actual Fantasy: Computer Eyes, easy.Oh no, I can't believe. Still gives me chills. Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction Lyrics. Chills every time.I vanish in the light - that burns so brightThat ending of The Human Compulsion! Echoes on the Wind] It's the calm before the storm It's the quiet before the war It's the time when all will be decided. Echoes on the Wind It's the calm before the storm It's the quiet before the roar It's the time when all will be decided. Or do those moments actually just make that song your favorite anyway?The Source: The Day That the World Breaks Down, basically contains all elements of the album in one song, though yet again many close seconds. Oh no, I thought you knew. Those are great examples.
I realized that while my favorite *song* on 01011001 is "Beneath the Waves", my favorite *moment* on the album is this extremely specific section in Sixth Extinction from 3:50-4:55, quite possibly my favorite 65 seconds in the entire discography.Man, 60 seconds is evil!
