[@SHREDTILLDEAD]

It sucks. Arrangements could be better and the whole throwing a female voice in just to be trendy is gay

[@silverwings9276]

Best song ever written, not even SW themselves were able to outdo it, it's one of those rare masterpieces that will most likely stand the test of time.

[@chilepeulla]

When you make such a masterpiece there’s no motivation to outdo it. They are probably aware that they struck genius with this song and they most likely are quite contented with it. Trying to outdo a 30 minute masterpiece is probably not the smartest thing to do 😆

[@silverwings9276]

@@chilepeulla Yes indeed, although I feel like the latest album is quite inferior to TGE, so I fear that the magic is gone..

[@chilepeulla]

Silverwings 92 I know what you’re saying. They waited too long to release a new album, maybe they just need to be together more time and the magic will return

[@silverwings9276]

@@chilepeulla I really hope you're right, I've seen so many bands lose their touch.. CoB, In Flames, Nightwish, Wintersun even.. not SW too please

[@SPACYtunes]

Completely agree. I love Seventh Wonder with a burning passion and am happy to say this is their crowning gem. As much as I love Tommy in Kamelot, Seventh Wonder is his home. This is where he really shines and I would rather Kamelot find another singer than have to wait another 8 years for another prog masterpiece from these guys. I don't think the band's magic is gone, but the only way for them to really get back to their former glory is for them ALL to prioritize their music over other projects. I loved Tiara, but it didn't touch TGE, and it definitely didn't touch Mercy Falls. Tommy has done a better job than most anybody at replacing Roy Khan, but is it worth the reduced output from Seventh Wonder? I say not.

[@HighTicket2Freedom]

This deserves way more views

[@alessavodka8974]

Arie Ortiz the truth

[@lieutenantkettch]

Once the Aniara movie gets a wide release we’ll see a lot more I wager.

[@williamiceman9939]

I mean it’s getting about ten a day from me alone, so I guess that’s a start

[@mooseclappin11]

The last 10 minutes of this song are a perfect way to end a masterpiece. The first time I heard "The Curtain Falls", it brought me to tears.

[@23c0n]

Same.

[@lorenzobartolini4350]

24:57 can't believe there is not a single comment pointing out to this incredible passage. I was blasted, the phrase division is magistral

[@chefman134]

Dining on ashes is easily my favorite part. So powerful.

[@filosofoneysarrandoanitta341]

Absolutely right. This song has no weak moments. Epic songs use to start strong and end not so creative, but The Great Escape was brilliantly written.

[@chilepeulla]

Carlos Eduardo do Nascimento Gomes no weak point at all, this is what impresses me the most about this song. I agree with you, most epic songs suffer from a weak ending but this damn song is above all that. An absolute masterpiece!

[@scuroguardiano5511]

Last 3 parts are the best imo. Whole song is masterpiece, but I like the most those 3 last parts, so powerful and this epic ending, oh my god, words can't describe this song

[@liamwhite6725]

[@rivlesbeware]

Nothing will ever move me more than this masterpiece. Perfection on every level

[@kodredcud]

I hope you've heard Atom Heart Mother, Echoes, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond (The 23+ minute versions of all three)

[@henrikvllestad-jensen74]

Greg Hurst couldnt agree more! I love the other songs as well, but this one, divine perfection 😍😎

[@Scadufax2001]

The bit that starts at 09:50 (A new Balance) is one of the greatest things I've heard in my entire life. Just wonderful.

[@marcygambino1975]

Isn't it ? I'm totally flashed by that for about 4 years now. 9:50 *click - Reality off*

[@Scadufax2001]

Amazing bassline, creative guitars, interesting drums and to-die-for vocal melodies. It's just perfection.

[@RavenSky1013]

Amen!

[@andrewschull6039]

Prog meets N-sync and they just have the best sexy times.

[@Metalton95]

Seriously, the solo at 10:14 is one of the sexiest things ever recorded, and I've seen my fair share of porn!

[@mrfajita]

Part 6 (starts at about 9:45) is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, and at this point I've probably heard it three hundred times. If I ever get to see this played live in full, my life would be complete.

[@senditkevin]

I would also love to see that, but I don't think they could make it through 30 minutes of constant music without losing it somewhere, which is why I am so happy it is here in this perfectly mixing studio masterpiece. Although I know they have played some parts of this live.

[@ciropalavecino4848]

I cant believe 4 years later I still can humm to every note in this song.

[@callumgreen6383]

7 years later and I bet you still love it ;)

[@isastenport8981]

5 years later and I still have a hard time not crying while listening to it 💀

[@fidde208]

For you who didn't know, the song is based on the poems 'Aniara' by Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson. It deals with the tragedy of a spaceship which, originally bound for Mars with a cargo of surviving colonists from a ravaged and destroyed Earth, is ejected from the solar system and becomes entangled in an existential struggle. The first track of the album, 'Wiseman' doubles loosely as a prequel to the events of 'The Great Escape'.

[@kcatarino]

I came here after just watching the 2018 movie

[@SPACYtunes]

Ya know what I found fascinating was that the final chord played at the end of this song is the same exact chord as is played at the start of Wiseman. Listen to the final hit at 28:44 before the acoustic guitar comes in, then flip over to Wiseman. Not only is it the same exact chord but the same exact instruments as well. It's identical. These tiny details are what I love from artists, and Seventh Wonder do not get the credit they deserve for their genius.

[@danclarke29]

This song has brought me to tears more times than I can count. Mercy Falls too.

[@raphaelranieri5258]

20:40 just music perfection.

[@DirtyPotter]

This song is such a beautiful tragic masterpiece. Especially tragic because I believe this will be our future one day.

[@liamwhite6725]

I mean you can be as philosophical...but your name ruins the mood, not to hate I just like the irony XD AGAIN NOT A HATE,

[@SeptimusTSS]

its incredible because the story told in the poem is actually supported by psychological studies in part...

[@zacharyzachary9576]

You need Courage, not pessimistic thoughts. We must aide in helping our planet. Reduce how much you spend on trinkets, help pick up trash whenever ya can (especially near waterways). Other humans will belittle you, but that’s only because they hate seeing the BS that they ignore. This is everyone’s planet, make them realize it. Nobody “wins” when the world is a husk (and even if ya do “win”, what’s the point? Lol)

[@diegoalatriste946]

Me encantó, durante 30 minutos me sentí fuera del planeta y pude imaginar la travesía, las aventuras, la añoranza, todo. Amo el espacio, la ciencia ficción, y amare esta canción por mucho tiempo!!!

[@fictionalsilence]

[@poopzbbb3411]

[@30cents]

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Actually, it's not just a song, it's an experience. An experience you can't miss. It's probably the best retelling of the Aniara I've ever heard, even the film couldn't do it justice as much as this 30min epic. Really well done, Seventh Wonder. You have a forever fan thanks to this.

[@fictionalsilence]

[@SchizoetryOfficial]

Octavarium takes a back door to this song IMHO. Still LOVE Octavarium, but I am kind of burnt out on it. Gotta love them epics tho. The Odyssey is a close second here as well. And let's not forget DT's 6 degress of inner turbulence, and Circus Maximus' "The 1st Chapter" and "The Glory of the Empire" all good stuff. :)
