As a metal/rock drummer I would never have gathered that years later into my mature years I'd ever take hold of someone playing the piano in such a way. Jordan has the capacity to get inside your soul and make you feel his music. It takes you on a journey to another place of peace and serenity. And as much as I know this sounds cheesy it is my truth and my reality. The world is made more beautiful because of people like this.
My favorite part about this song is how the melody is played in the middle of the keyboard, and most of the harmony is up high. Not to mention the fast runs all the way up the keyboard, and the sixteenth note quad-octaves near the end. He really is a musician's musician.
it could be interesting since he's so talented,listenin' to him workin' on a classical score.... i'm thinkin' about Rackmaninoff,Ravel.Debussy.......
That two part melody thing @ 4:58 still impresses the shit out of me. I always have to go back to listen to both hands individually to appreciate it thoroughly.
0:01 screw the book, I'm Jordan Rudess

I wonder if Rudess ever heard the phrase "Less is more". Just because he CAN play fast, doesn't mean he has to do it every second of the song....
