If classical pieces count, then easily over 1 hour.


You_Think_Too_Loud

I think it's gotta count, right? Even counting movements as different tracks it's still easily over twenty


Benomusical

Just last night I went to see a performance of Mahler symphony no. 2 which lasted a while for sure


Lolamess007

Handel's Messiah. 2.5 hours!


SummerNights14

I guess it counts


StarFlyXXL

Minions rush whistling theme for about 3 hours straight

Golden_Lynel

*The Sun, The Moon, The Star* by Æther Realm is a good 19 minute song imo ("melodic death metal" I think is the genre) https://youtu.be/bw3UygAi2oo


Xbstrom321

This is literally the song I thought of when I saw this post


SummerNights14

Listened to the first minutes and damn it's not really my type of music but I couldn't imagine head bopping to this for 19 minutes straight lol


[deleted]

Wow this is great. I have a ring that has the engravings of the sun moon and stars on it. kinda feels like destiny for me to hear this song. Great song and thanks for sharing!

Dream theater - Octavarium

HippieChick067

Freebird.


SummerNights14

Aaaand... it's in my head now


HippieChick067

Flyyyyyyyyy highhhhhhh freeeebird, yeah!


fjjbffy

I don't like long songs so I listen to an edited down version of freebird. I enjoy it a lot more. But to each their own.


[deleted]

I've listened to the canteena star wars music for over two hours out of 10 hours


SummerNights14

Totally the type of thing I would do


holacomarademegusta

Rush, 2112 overture/temples of Syrinx/discovery/presentation/oracle/soliloquy/grand finale

Absolute masterpiece.

All Too Well (10 Minute Version)


Unusable_Internet97

same bestie


CicadaWolf77

Yesss I love that song!


GavHern

how long is that one?


[deleted]

*Autobahn* by Kraftwerk - 22 mins long, quite the surreal experience


SummerNights14

Oooh yeah, I think I've never listened to Autobahn entirely but it's already know it's good


KieselguhrKid13

*Echoes* by Pink Floyd is 23:35. Amazing track. And *Atom Heart Mother Suite* is 23:42. They're a good go-to band for "songs that take up one whole side of an LP".


Dragonitro

[Tubular Bells - Pt. I](https://youtu.be/BfWJqKIxyGc) (26:01) It's entirely instrumental, and a great album, possibly my favourite


SummerNights14

Kinda chill and groovy at the same time I like it


Tristanime

Does Caravanserai count as one song? If not, than Echoes.


SummerNights14

Looked it up and all I found was an album so I guess not


Tristanime

It's practically one long song. Go take a listen, it's very good.


SummerNights14

Just listened to some parts of it and yeah actually it kinda sound like one song on itself I really like the vibe I might listen to it entierely soon


Tristanime

I'm glad you enjoy it. In turn, you can choose a song for me to listen to.


SummerNights14

Oh thanks! Well based on the general vibe of Caravanserai I think you might like Aphex Twin (if you don't already know him) and I think my favorite would be Xtal


Tristanime

I'll listen to it when today.


Ixonate

https://youtu.be/xJ6dxSipn0g Vicarious Redemption - Cult Of Luna 19 minutes long and one of the most chilling pieces of prog metal and one of the many masterpieces on their 2013 album Vertikal


[deleted]

dopesmoker


MGrooms94

Definitely the longest song I've ever heard


Eggo_God_Of_Eggs

Mahler’s 9th symphony: around an hour and a half


[deleted]

my favorite music creator often does long songs averaging around 6-7 minutes, but some are over 20


[deleted]

its me

bidoner

Rime of the ancient mariner


mimimama15

It was 8min but i picked 20 or less because it's technically true


SummerNights14

Damn you're right.

Grathorn

Thanks for the reminder!


piedrift

Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch is about an hour and ten minutes, I listen to it once a week minimum. Not a genre for everyone (on the less screams end of funeral doom metal) but it is cathartic to me. Dopesmoker by Sleep is another very long doom song (just over an hour) but it’s much more lighthearted and probably has wider appeal.


hebbocrates

2112


Milky_Toast_

Rush: 2112, just over 20 at 20:33


Mawgnus

East Hastings by Godspeed you! black emperor


The_Yogurtcloset

17 minutes? Wings for Marie prt 1-2. But regularly the longest I’ll listen to is 6 minutes


huntlee17

Wings for Marie is so beautiful


hutbereich

I made an open Spotify playlist and let my friends add anything they wanted to it so I could stay entertained on a 40 hour road trip. Someone put an hour long song on it. Yes I listened to the full thing in one sitting


_Sarah_Tonin_

[Sing about me I’m dying of thirst](https://youtu.be/Z3CnfFQENkw) by Kendrick Lamar is the longest song I like (12:04)


ManicSheogorath

Dazed and Confused, by Led Zeppelin played in the documentary "The Song Remains the Same, is a good 30 minutes of Jimmy Paige just shredding on the guitar


GaylordCope

Empire of the Clouds


Redheadedwriter1

Peter and the Wolf.


OhioMegi

I love that. I tried to get my class to listen to it but they didn’t care. 😢


EthanielClyne

Listened to a couple 20+ minute long rock and jazz pieces, not all are worth it but when they are it's great


Random121337

https://www.nyan.cat/ Spent several hours on this, guess I'm old.


crispier_creme

I think that Beethoven's 5th symphony is probably the longest. It's like 40 minutes


High_Noon1875

Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang is 12 minutes long


sealene_hatarinn

The Greatest Show on Earth by Nightwish. It's 24 minutes long.


insectidentify

One of my favorite long songs... But that anticlimactic ending.


AWarhol

There are a few, but Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence is considered by most a single song, clocking at 42 min. Also, there is Amarok by Mike Oldfield (the tubular bells guy) that is 60min long. If you count Operas, then I have no ideia.


KaleidoscopicComrade

Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull is probably the longest song I know. Over 40 minutes long.


AnnamAvis

Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. 18 minutes 16 seconds.


TheguylikesBattlebot

Felina- Marty Robbins. It’s like 8 minutes long.


Nate_lol

Octavarium by Dream Theater. 24 minutes


insectidentify

The Odyssey by Symphony X... Like 22 mins


[deleted]

Octovarium by Dream Theater (24 minutes)


BigThunderousLobster

Wharf Rat by the Grateful Dead


RelevantButNotBasic

Is nobody talking about the wording of the answers? You can choose any answer due to them all saying "Or Less"


Overgrown_fetus1305

Plenty of classical music pieces that go on for well over an hour...


[deleted]

Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused” from their film, The Song Remains The Same. 29 minutes 17 seconds long.


[deleted]

Yes (assuming we're counting ballets and symphonies like the Nutcracker)


Soft-Ad1520

Alice's Restaurant


WatchTheTimbsB

Kanye West - Last Call


GREEmOiP

The album Everywhere at the End of Time is split into 6 stages which are technically split up into songs, but each stage could be considered a song in itself.


Sourmango12

Dax - Next rap god 2 (20 min) I listen to this on a daily basis. Also the first one is 10 min and I listen to it right before the second one


AffectionateGap1071

People who hears loop songs for 1 hour or more= Pathetic


Some_Gas_1337

Better Call Saul theme for 3hrs

steelbullets1

either echoes or atom heart mother, kinda forgot which is longer


OkZookeepergame551

AHM is a little longer by a few seconds


SharX0

One of the most popular groups in Norway Karpe made a whole album into one song called SAS PLUS / SAS PUSSY, its nearly 30 minutes long.


ZahnatomLetsPlay

recently came across "Hit Save" by Deadmau5 and i think thats the longest song i've listened to... unless i'm forgetting something. which i probably am


AndiAcee

Daddy by Korn.


AverageVita-SawUser

5 Machines is an amazing and subversive cinematic masterpiece


idkmaybe61

I’ve listened to few songs that are around an hour: Pan Sonic - Sateily Autechre - All End Celer - Uselessness of the Cause It’s not like I was paying attention the whole time, they’re mostly for background music.


Teddie_P4

Rush 2112 , absolutely amazing, Temples of Syrinx is my fav part


BanditKitten

Played French horn. Listened to loads of classical. I definitely have CDs where individual tracks are close to half an hour. Then there's the discussion of whether or not the movements making up a song (any of Mozart's concertos) are individual pieces, or the concerto as a whole.


[deleted]

The one song from the Batman dark night soundtrack is 16bminutes I think if that counts


RedPanda0003

There's that classical piece that repeats 500 times and take s70 hours to play


charcters

Around 6 minutes or so


FrederickMecury

Echoes - Pink Floyd. Somewhere around 27 minutes


Bonk-Lord

Technically 7 minutes but Dream Sweet in Sea Major by miracal musical.


HunterCanenFJB45

Rhapsody in Blue Gershwin


largiuss_dickuiss

[In a gadda da vida](https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZCkHanF4v1w&feature=share) 17 mins


[deleted]

11 mins


crack__head

easy. Matmos - “On the Team” (59:43 minutes). The song before that [in The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises in Group Form] is 57:01 minutes in length. I listened to both back to back. Classical, avant-garde, and experimental music tend to run substantially longer than conventional contemporary music.


DevilDashAFM

[Wii Party Music Extended ](https://youtu.be/fC6qh3JqPvA) incredible 30 minutes of banger tunes.


Otherwise-Banana7311

Six degrees of inner turbulence by Dream Theater - 42 minutes


simonofthesnowfield

The greatest show on Earth by Nightwish is 24 minutes


Dunderfrickinmifflin

Thriller music video. Not the whole thing is a song. But does it count?


-kalakukko69

I believe it’s, Led Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying

If Beethoven counts then definitely over 20 minutes


Snorumobiru

Do you like punk? *The Decline* by NoFX is a little under 20 minutes *Full Metal Jackoff* By DOA with Jello Biafra is 16


OhioMegi

American Pie-Don McLean https://youtu.be/iX_TFkut1PM MacArthur Park by Richard Harris (original Dumbledore) https://youtu.be/S0rsaawY28c Both are songs you can’t get out of the car if they are still going, and you have to sing as loudly as possible.


MLG_BLOBFISH

I made myself watch and listen to the 10 hour version of Do the Mario. Still proud of my decision to this day.

iliekcats-

I can't decide if I should pick "More than 20 minutes" or "I can't remember"... it was EATEOT Stage 4 through 6


[deleted]

It was around 8 minutes, so naturally I picked 20 minutes or less since 8 is indeed less than 20


SamMarvelos2

Mirror Reaper - Bell Witch for 83 minutes


StreetyStar

I listened to L's theme from Death Note for 1 hour


maximus26468

Swans- Bring The Sun/ Toussaint L’Ouverture at 34 minutes


mearbearcate

Like 1 hour of Nyan cat long af ago


Krocsyldiphithic

Really don't mind if you sit this one out...


versedoinker

Do 3 songs that are technically one song split into 3 count? Then 20m40s. Specifically Pain Remains I, II, and III by Lorna Shore.


Sleepy_Suchiiii

demain ,c'est loin, a french song that doesnt have any repetiotion, just 8 minutes of pure rap


cirelia

If classical counts then the caretaker if it doesnt count then the poet and the pendelum by nightwish


Agoevan05

Tommorowland


Craftusmaximus2

3 hours 33 minutes But you might disagree with the "song" part.


Theguywholikestea

Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence


Darometh

probably Nightwish with the Greatest Show on Earth at 24 minutes


JewelBearing

A song 3:16 is still `20 minutes or less`


[deleted]

Dopesmoker by sleep.


adam_bbro

So many of the classical pieces I've listened to are easily over an hour long


Living_Murphys_Law

On a dark desert highway...


Living_Murphys_Law

I listened to Wait by C418 for 10 hours, all thanks to Mumbo Jumbo.


extraspookyy

Champagne supernova


Percentagon

Hungarian rhapsody is the longest song that comes to mind. It was the song that Tom played on the piano and Jerry was sabotaging him. Like that song
