i'm thinking about making albums that contain songs that are at least 6 minutes in length, but the longest song i've created was half the length and sounded really repetitive imo. are there any tips to make them longer and-i guess-"cooler"?

something ive been messing around in new writings have been to just fly. be completely free. the goal is to make it impossible to categorize the song into distinct pieces, and just let yourself flow around. for longer things you want to have deep changes throughout but still follow a central theme. i have a couple song projects that have very little structure, but they're not very long. ugh! it's extremely hard to define but the more examples you see the better!! check out 24 hours from 10cc and close to the edge from yes. watch the variation and the storytelling.
