Just curious. Listening to a tune this morning and got to wondering what your favorite psychological journey music is. By that I mean something that completes a 'movement,' whatever your definition of movement is, but is not typically a three-minute song. The two that come to my mind are the one I heard (Mike Oldfield - Mont St. Michel), and Eric Prydz - Opus, which is unusual in that it is pretty much the same repeated phrase over and over, but does take you on a journey.
What are some of your faves in this category?

Many of the longer Yes songs, especially those on Tales from Topographic Oceans and Close to the Edge. The Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe album has a couple as well.
Then there are entire albums
- The Who - Tommy
- Rush - 2112 (side 1)
- Queen - Queen II
As for In-A-Dadda-Da-Vida, the drum solo is way too short. I can listen to that drum solo all day, and I'm not a fan of drum solos.

I would definitely put Awaken on my list. If you haven't seen the version that kicks this[^] off, enjoy.

Gregorian Chant; some of it can be quite ethereal, pardon the pun
As a genre, chill[^]; can be an acquired taste, but some is really good (Paul Hardcastle comes to mind)
A lot of New Age, especially Shadowfax[^], Enya[^], and Yanni[^]
The Secret Life of Plants by Stevie Wonder; when it was released, listening to those under headphones was the only relief I got from my migraine headaches
Yes, yes, I know from all you metalheads that none of these people have any talent, and it's all vapid, inconsequential, middle-age sedating crap. Well ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you  and the three chords your so-called musicians know how to play  . One of my favorite things about middle age is shutting out the vox populi and listening to what I like.
I also enjoy running outside without a shirt letting my freak flab fly, so there.

When I was young my parents would always say "Excuse my French" after a swear word...I'll never forget my first day of school when the teacher asked if any of us knew any French.

I thought you were gonna say that you're a frenchman that's telling occupying german forces "That's not my weapon."

Yeah - I understand that. As a dying language, what your parents new of it may be all that's left of it (and probably the best of it).
Personally, I'm glad as hell I wasn't born and raised in France. I don't speak a word of French.

Do you really consider swearing a "dying language"? My impression is rather the opposite!

Profanity is alive and well. Swearing (without using profanity) is a dying art form.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Clearly you misunderstood what you read - the swearing (as you call it) is all that would be left. with the implication that the Frog-Speech will go away, except for profanities, or for that matter, making the concept of "profanities" and that language totally synonymous.
Kapish ?

um, I don't think Mike's parents were actually speaking French...

My old mom used the same expression, in English, while speaking in Norwegian. As a boy I never understood how the French got into it - even after I learned English.

If you buy into the Quebec language police propaganda, it's just about done.
