I love Titan better, but agreed. Mahler is the best composer ever to live.
He's my hero.
And if he wasn't dead, I'd so hit that.

"Wow, nice to meet you. Nine years huh? That's a really long time. Are you going to stab me or something? Because if you are, can we get it over with?" ~Jer

I totally hear you. And Titan is probably my second favorite of Mahler's symphonies. Nothing compares or will ever compare with the last movement of the Resurrection though. So fucking incredible.

I saw Titan performed while I was in college - I was almost in tears it was so fucking beautiful.
Seriously, the man is my hero. I wrote a 20 page thesis paper on him in my senior year of high school. And got an A on it.

Yeah I've seen 1, 2 (twice!), and 7 live, and I think I'll be seeing 5 next year.
I used to play horn so my favorite part of the Titan is definitely the duet at the beginning

The Yale School of Music's orchestra and our Yale Glee Club did 2 this past fall, and they had the choir up on each side of the balcony, and I was sitting right in the middle so at the end there were just massive waves of sound coming from 3 sides. I can't put that feeling into words. Basically I feel like the last 10 minutes or so of the last movement of the Resurrection is what Heaven would sound like if you could put it into music.

That is so awesome. I used to play viola, and we played MVMT 2 of Titan once, and it just started my obsession

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.
