@22bibia93 Join the club, bom saber que não fui a unica com esse problema, ainda por cima mesmo que quisesse não podia ir á casa de banho porque estava mesmo na primeirissima fila, escusado será dizer que não me importei nada de aguentar até porque ficar na primeira fila me valeu a palheta do Petrucci :D
I have every DT CD - I have to say that is it for me. Doesn't anyone else hear how cheesy and cringe making this is???????? Good god. The lyrics are a joke. Goodbye DT. Hello Symphony X :)
Nah, all jokes aside, this is probably the best ballad song that DT has ever created. Petrucci's lyrics are so touching and easily relateable that it's unbelieveable. This song tells so well why and how the balance between love and desire for love and getting hurt so easily tips to the latter side quite heavily.
Saw them at Vallhall arena in Oslo, last night......sorry for swearing....they were fuckin awesome and tears poured down my face, as this song was played......may you have many more years, of fantastic musical art...ahead of you. Mike, was just awesome on his drum solo what more can I say.......'The Spirit Carries On'........:)
@siggerz100 I hope you have a fantastic time.......they were awesome last night in Oslo...and I was lucky enough to squeeze to the front row!!! Have fun :)
@skimam your statement is only your opinion. I think most listeners would argue that this is the moment where the song really soars... I would... and i personally think that LaBrie sounds great on this album.
A beautiful song. I literally cried the first time I listened to this. Just... so full of emotion... especially the ending. Tears at 4:27. :) Dream Theater is just amazing.
I was listening to the whole album for the first time today, but I was kinda sleepy, and I slept through the whole thing... and then came along this one piece of amazingly wonderful piece of art, and actually made me cry while I was having a kinda lucid dream.. thanks Dream Theater for this one, and from the first note of Majesty Demo to the last bit of it up till now.. DT forever
So many emotions... thank you Dream Theater... for allowing me to cry, for helping me to get through these difficult times. Thank you all for writing amazings songs, that kept me dreaming all the time, waiting for every album. Thank you for your support, and thank you for your eternal and powerful love.
I'm gonna be honest. I was 2nd guessing this new Dream Theater album. It seemed to be lacking that one song their albums have that totally blow me away (count of tuscany, octavarium etc.). That was, until I heard this song. This album is awesome.
I flee towards the beauty of music when the generic noises emanating from the radio gets too loud. As a fan of music, listening can sometimes be a lonely thing to do since a lot of people ceased doing so..
Dream Theater is a triumph to music.; making music that tells, music that means something.
To all the people talking about love, this song is about how brutally pointless and painful the pursuit of "love" truly is. The woman always causes the pain, and only has herself to blame.
i notice that the comments are mostly refering to memories of loved ones and feelings. this is why this is an amazing song. because it goes beyng the music and into what you feel.
@MlKEPORNTOY man shutup dude I know you've been writing this on all the album's songs. i can agree that dream theater is different without portnoy but this allowed them to bring about a new and old side of themselves that we have never seen and have missed for a long time.
but on a musical level, I have to say I love Mangini's touch on this song. He added JUST the right stuff in the right places. Some timpani, a soft gong, and the tambourine. You know a drummer's good when he can add real orchestrated percussion music like that without even using a drum-beat.
..and btw @MASZ8: in case that john petrucci wrote this thinking of Mike Portnoy - I think the only reaction of MP can be the one I have permanently listening to this: crying tears in love of Music and his true friend from college.. hm?
Wow.. Thanks URAssassiN for posting this wonderful piece - and thank you DT for the gift of your newest and BEST ALBUM EVER (i can now say that without any doubts) :-)))
@impenetrable2 yeah man!! I hope they dont just read and say 'oh". I hope they read my comment and say,"Damn, this shouldnt happen to me" and express their love without waiting for the so called 'right time'. Coz right time itself is the time when you love her.
@Brewzkier what the fuck are you talking about? that sounded amazing. and i just saw them live and the did this song acoustically and he fucking nailed it.
I listen to music like this and wonder why people would listen to shit like Sexy and I know it.
