Hospice and Burst Apart are albums, by the way. Sylvia, Two, Wake, Epilogue, and Putting The Dog to Sleep are songs that are over 5 minutes.

The power of Hospice simply cannot be overstated. Hospice and Burst Apart by the Antlers.

One that really makes the cut is Evie (Parts 1, 2 and 3) performed by British-born Australian singer Stevie Wright.

A full live version can be seen on YouTube; this version goes for just over 12-and-a-half minutes.
