Prog Rock Songs (with the theme of a journey)

Inuzuka Skysword · 11-07-2009, 07:56 AM

What the title says. I need some prog rock songs which are based of the theme of some sort of journey.

These two here are just what the doctor ordered.

This first vid here is a live performace of the first few minutes of a 26-minute long track from Ritual's 2008 album The Hemulic Voluntary Band called 'A Dangerous Journey'. It's a bit folksy, but its one of the best epics I've heard from any modern prog. band, plus the theme of travelling is prevalent:

...and this second track here is VDGG's Refugees, which is, as the title suggests, about a bunch of exiles journeying to find a country/place they can call their own. It's also one of the prettiest songs the band ever composed!

How about the Necromancer by Rush?

Octovarium by Dream Theater?

edit: NVM, it's not journey themed, but it's still awesome.

Journey themed? Hmm. Try 2012 by Rush

Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34

The whole 4 track album. Its about a LSD trip gone wrong, it plays out like one long song. So I guess its like a journey of sorts, a journey of the mind, a twisted surreal mind...
