What makes a song Epic?

The ability of that song to stop you in your tracks and turn.  The growing pulse of emotion you feel as it begins with a quiet line and crescendos into a tumultuous climax that leaves you both drained and sated.  It can have a story, but doesn’t always.  The important part is that inside you, it shifts something significant.
