@RagnerTheHiker  I think song length by itself doesn’t make a track good or bad. There are incredible songs under three minutes that hit fast and leave a mark, and there are long pieces — like Humanity by Thomas Bergersen — that earn every second of their runtime. Everyone listens differently. Some people love quick, tight songs; others enjoy long builds, storytelling, or cinematic arrangements. My own top favorites tend to run longer than three minutes, but that’s just where my taste leans. At the end of the day, a great song is a great song — whether it’s 2:45 or 12:00. What matters is the emotional impact it has on the person listening.  Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more
