| There are many songs out there that seem to take me away to that special place. A place where nothing else matters, only the music. Songs, or just parts of songs, that will help bring a listener to a musical nirvana, so to speak. Songs that are truly majestic and beautiful, or intense and powerful. Songs that you just can't live without. The songs listed below are all excellent as a whole but they contain some of the most powerful and awe-inspiring musical moments for me - musical bliss. Deliverance - Opeth. The last 3 minutes are magical. Octavarium - Dream Theater. The whole song, all 24 minutes worth, are a musical journey I think all should experience at least once in a lifetime. Demon of the Fall - Opeth. The scream and subsequent chorus are the most evil thing I have ever heard. When the Water Breaks - Liquid Tension Experiment. Coolest instrumental ever by a prog-metal band. Hallowed be thy Name - Maiden. The final riff/solo is insanely good. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin. When the whole band kicks in near the end. That just screams "Crank it!" Winters Call (live) - Badlands. Coolest guitar solo in a hard rock song ever. Eyes of a Stranger - Queensryche. Best album closer ever. Exit Music - Savatage. Just plain beautiful instrumental. Very soothing. Fear of the Dark - Maiden. Great sing-along chorus. Full of energy. Godfather - Persuader. When he sings that chorus, I am "persuaded".  Hangar 18 - Megadeth. The out going solo's and riffs are so \m/. Spent many days and nights "air guitaring" that stuff. That's all for now. I know I will have many more to add to this list. It will get big, that's for sure.

| When talking about songs that take you to a special place, the hands down king of that is the greatest song ever, Light Of Day, day Of Darkess by Green Carnation. Colusus and The Winterway from Borknagar Over The Hills And Far Away that Thyrfing covered. Black Horseman and all the songs from King Diamond Melissa, Satan's Fall and all the songs from Mercyful Fate Destiny, Perennial Quest, Voice Of The Soul and all the songs from Death Death In Fire from Amon Amarth Strange Wings from Savatage Bleed from Angel Dust Fractured Millenium from Hypocrisy Hades from Kalmah Chainheart Machine from Soilwork Beer Beer! from Korpiklaani The first 3 tracks and 9th track from Dimmu Borgir's For All Tid There are loads more but I'm too lazy to type more.

| Gotta add some more to my original list. For the Love of Art and the Making by Beyond Twilight. I cannot get enough of this CD. A true masterpiece. Brilliant progressive metal. Marathon by Rush. The chorus and outro are truely beautiful. The Necromancer, also by Rush. The music takes me away to that special place. Very hypnotic. I could listen to that song for days. Guardian by Fates Warning. The music at the beginning of the song is excellent, but much too brief. Island in the Stream by Fates Warning. Beautiful ballad, wonderfully crafted. Amazing lyrics and such relaxing music. One of the best ballads from a metal or prog band ever.
