Want to take a journey today? My song "Withernsea" is an epic #prog #pop #folktale about forbidden love in a fictional medieval version of the coastal British city.

It's inspired by the long-form songs of late period #Genesis and early Tori Amos especially.

The song features Kristina Paulick on vocals and a killer guitar solo by Elevate the Sky.

This may just be me not knowing what counts as "prog rock" … I think Extreme might just be that, & whatever they do possibly fits that umbrella? I don't know. They also get called Metal.

This song is a #LongSong (another theme I saw mentioned earlier). Well, it's a 3-part 21min song. It combines rock & orchestral movie soundtrack epicness.

Here's "Everything Under The Sun (Rise 'n Shine/Am I Ever Gonna Change?/Who Cares?")

I am planning in the long run to carry out a structural analysis of what makes a long song still recognizable.
