So I'm trying to compile a list of songs that are really, well, epic so if everyone could participate that'd be great. This is more of a test to see what songs can give the most shivers
 
so to start things off
 
requiem for a dream - Clint Masell 
City of Hope - Audiomachine

Dream is Collapsing - Hans Zimmer

Time - Hans Zimmer

 

All the more engaging if you loved the movie aswell.

 

Damien - Iced Earth

Bleak - Opeth

Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull is epic in the truest sense of the word.

The bird and the worm, by "The used" (clash of titans soundtrack)

Very epic song, specially the instrumental version.

Just an epic song (as opposed to whole albums or multi-song suites)?

 

A Salty Dog, and Crucifiction Lane, from A Salty Dog (the whole album is seriously epic)

Whaling Stories, Procol Harum, from the Home.

In Held 'Twas I, Procol Harum, from Shine on Brightly

 

Those guys knew how to write stories.

I'm listening to it at the moment from youtube and from my poop speakers but I feel like Zack Hemsey's Mind heist from inception would be AMAZING from a decent source

I think that audioslave's "Like a Stone" qualifies. Possibly "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, but I'm not sure whether it qualifies as "epic"
