wair fot sleep - dream theater

[heepwah4lodge06]

my friend kevin would not stop talking about this band at camp. so i just had to check it out. i like it♥

[ScrotumCancer]

I used to think Wait for Sleep sucked and had no place on the perfect I&W album, but it's grown on me a lot recently and now I love it.

[JakeTF2]

i didnt think that, i just thought it was a bit short

[celedeox54]

i tryed to put ''lifting shadows of a dream'' on here but it says i cant because of copyright... wat have you done different to have this song on here???? :(

[J0pope1]

la mas corta de tods :(

[Dynom1teK1d]

Plain Awsomeness ...

[Meli329]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[djpatterson7]

See my comments on "Surrounded"

[basssungwoo]

Oh man...SUCH A DEEP AND EMOTIONAL SONG. I CANT STOP LISTENING TO it. Oh man. This song pierces my stomach.Ughhhh

[Puppets7]

i never get tired of this little masterpiece!!!!

[humbertojimmy]

After the song, remains this strange feeling that it could have been performed by Robbie Williams and become an instant hit worldwide... Oh well, but no. It was just from some band. Lol ;)

[OsmanCometh]

some band? Dream Theater has a massive cult following. No offense to the followers lol. They just opted to never go mainstream...but they could have.

[Client91802]

...And by choosing not to go mainstream, they attracted a crowd that they would prefer to have as their fans! :]

[tpcardoso]

awesome song

[humbertojimmy]

DT has some really nice songs. Somehow, they remind me of Kamelot.

[basssungwoo]

Both, great bands

hehe

[Nekajcarskega]

By god, how? O_o

On which song of Kamelot does this remind you?

[mcris5577]

Delightfull !!!!!

[HinamiYumi]

BEST SONG EVER!!!

[yonislash]

LAME SONG!!!

[yanxxxy]

the intro is our school bell xD

[ItGoesOnAndOn]

The intro reminds me of 'Bring me to life'.....

[dropdeadJordyn]

i agree they tottally stole it from bring me to life

[GazellePearl]

yeah right, as if bring me to life existed in 1992!!! now who has stolen what from whom???

[JakeTF2]

check the dates of when the songs were released and say that again.

[anool3]

i listen to the heaviest stuff....

yet this song - written by one of the best prog metal bands (one of the most classic) - still gets to me...

its really a beautiful song

still metal \m/

[MrJERVISTECH]

Bravissimi i Dream a mio avviso IMAGE AND THE WORDS è L ALBUM PIU' BELLO DEI DREAM OVVIAMENTE è solo questione di gusti , io preferisco ovviamente La Brie a de Dominici , cmq i Dream sono l icona del Progressive Metal .

[cyberskelet0n]

"If you're one of the 8% who like to headbang and ROCK OUT"

Says the guy on Dream Theater's Wait for Sleep.

[bozsvaricsilla]

i fell in love with this song within not more than 5 seconds.....

[Animelovahr]

I tolayely wuv tis sog :-)

[techdeckdude120]

i cant spell betteer than you all

[jagarstark]

[JustinoXProductions]

I bett your spelling and grammar are worse too : ]]]]] lol mine too

[yaypej]

haha, your grammars are worse(r) haha.

[snirf666]

LOL

[melodramaticismbfake]

It might be so the song won't get taken down

[LlamaNOR]

hahahhahahaha en9rish

[triviumdstruct87]

you're awful at spelling,

"wair fot sleep"

"enojy this song"

[matarel]

hahahahahahaha

[JohnPetrucci251]

hahahaha what a scrub

[AdamGontierTDG]

it's just a typo. if you check under 'tags' you can see it's spelled correctly.

[lorenzosusca]

troppo bella!

[Hamilton4e]

If it can have it again be better DREAM THEATER

[deraickripper]

best DT album...

[Wowscreamonub]

wait this is dark tranquility? holy crap, no way wheres the growl? nah im jking though DT is used frequently...every abreviation is.

[Lyveer]

I certainly ''enojyd'' it XD

[hunterfam23]

xD!

[rasow32]

Superbe merci ;-)

[ilhadosmacacos]

lol my comment was retarded =D

[gmuchiutti5150]

Yes. :D

[ilhadosmacacos]

looks like they are losing the "progressive metal" concept but they still good

[Mahavishnu80]

i agree

[UShishko]

Lo u know , this song is old , its written by Kevin Moore , i think the new pianist is Jordan , so its not like theyre loosing anything , duh.

[beatleman1040]

Jordan Rudess

[BIGROCKER620]

Truly ,one of the greatest ballads ever,that Dream Theater fans only know about...Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darkblood189]

Agreed. I wish it was a more developed song though and not just a prelude ot Learning to Live

[Unspoker21]

beautiful.....................­.....

[MorbidGuardian]

awesome song, the piano is so hauntingly beautiful.

[cbednar74]

This Song gives me chills every time I hear & sing it! Thanx very much for putting this up!!!!

[MrWingookoo]

Oooh. What a nice song. Beautiful piano.

[nimanima777]

simply beautiful.

[Interioroutbreak69]

This song reminds me of pwning noobs in Starcraft, I lost my copy, and I will never kill those noobs again, I feel sad now.

[Bobary8]

Hahahaha

[Jman6752]

lol i feel that way everyday when i get up in the morning...

[9556389]

this is one good relaxing song!

[0soloalbum]

Almost two years of misspelled lyrics.

[Mechanix1911]

@ Meechysm: Maybe you heard a part from Learning to Live, which ends with a guitar, but starts with a piano, not a piano like this but a piano.

[sborowsky]

Yep it's the melody from Learning to Live

[Meechysm]

Theres another version of that song, im pretty sure. It starts and overs with guitar instead of piano. So if im not schizophrene, could someone tell me what did i hear.

[knumorvid]

you probably heard it in learning to live. They use this melody there

[mavlaboy]

good song

[tuntunwabo]

what a song

[wafflepainquin]

that was truly beautiful

[GazelaMonkey]

Beautiful song.

[KyleJPie10]

lol enojy this song... haha

[GabrielEOKiller]

emm.. i think you forget how to write

[Refden]

Great song from a great band!

[prdlf]

so real song....so honest.the best song ever.....

[Muloc7253]

Why did Dream Theater never do anything else this good? Images & Words was amazing then they just sort of flopped into Awake...eugh

[LordTaylorK]

have you not heard 6degrees of inner turbulence? or systematic chaos? or octavarium?

[Muloc7253]

Their later stuff is so-so...Octavarium and Train of Thought have some alright songs but nothing they ever did was as amazing as Images and Words. Everyone else at least loves Awake and Metropolis Part II but I think they're boring.

I've never heard the first album, but I bet I'd like it more than everyone else did.

[LordTaylorK]

i guess thats a respectable oppinion, but i disagree with you, i like alot of their later stuff ^^

Rawglraglgl!!!

[Muloc7253]

Cool, it's all opinions, it'll sound different to everyone.

[barbadosx]

I don't think he got the murloc reference... and I like it all - though I do miss the subtle complexity of some of their older stuff like this - I also enjoy the new stuff, except Chaos was a little too unsubtle... hoping Black Clouds... is masterful

[drumtheater9]

this song is so cool even though its so calm....

[Metallicas34]

my best song......says so much in my soul....everything....

[xXHeartAnnaXx]

do i really have to wait for sleep?

i have a test on monday.

[Ir8pyorgawd]

funny guy

[Tomdawg89]

It just might be DT's best song in my opinion.

[silverdreamer1889]

I'm learning to play it right now and i love it so much.

the lyrics is nice too!!

[EmilioIcardo]

love it

[piccolofun]

amazing song 5/5 youpi!!!

[Bibicut90]

waiR foT sleep??

[me00valentina]

Yeey this song is our school bell!

[0utOfcheEEEz]

wait really? holy shit...

[ledzep6995]

lucky

[Liqidor]

Here too xD

Where are you educating?

But only the beginning part, till he starts singing

[5elin]

Good old chool bell

[thyalisonizidoro]

Who said that DT have no feeling?? I heard it from many jackasses here in Brazil...

This song is a proof for all that pieces of shit!!

DT Forever!!

[meluaz]

also alexi laiho said that john petrucci has no feeling. listen to suspended animation or most of dt songs, fuckign he barely shreds that much compared to other guitarists

[kalamanik]

and who said alexi laiho is a good guiarist. his playing seems like pop. thus he doesn not have any rights to comment on petruccis guitar playing

[pat66]

the piano at :50 is the same in learning to live!

[tthayer2]

that's because in learning to live they play an excerpt based off this song.

[SpeedStrid]

they do it in multiple songs

Overture and metropolis is another example.

[bballg4life923]

Thats because this song fades straight into learning to live so its practically one song just like vacant fades into stream of conciousness :)

[jondav2006]

just one word can describe this song - beautiful; the best by Dream Theater, in my opinion.

[5elin]

Heh good old school bell , i miss it .

[Th3PrinceOfDarkness]

brilliant dream theater song, love the piano chords, the very last chord at 2:28 is really good, this is a relaxing song.

[unusualcatperson]

I'm actually learning the piano for this song, and I'm trying to teach myslef how to sing, so yeah. I'm gonna try todo both :)

[Keyboardzrock]

Genius. Moore was an inspired legend.

[drummingdansf]

so nice

[PotatoDonki]

"Wair fot"? "Enojy"? Nice typing.

[skull9490]

Or you could be a total jackass about this. . .

Why does the title matter?

[PotatoDonki]

Kind of a lot. Are you new to youtube?

[ToiPornaso]

Hermosa cancion . viviendo en un pais y una ciudad donde no se valora estas cosas. donde las esperanzas de la gente es destruida por los corruptos . donde la gente que " estudia " se cree mejor que vos .. donde la gente se divide por la musica , dinero , vestimenta y lenguaje .donde todo parece estar perdido y enfermo esta musica me retrae y me alivia a tal punto de pensar que a veces vale la pena vivir la vida.

Gabriel Alejo Numa Bass - Argentina - Cordoba

Dream theather. "More than music".

[prugio]

para toipornaso.... siempre vale la pena de vivir la vida y puedo decirte que tambien aqui en italia es la misma cosa que en tu pais... pero la musica es nuestra amiga, siempre...y sobre todo nos ayuda en aquellas dificiles veces... sonrie vale la pena ser feliz!!te lo dices una chica italiana!!!

p.s.perdone si no he escrito muy bien, no lo conozco mucho el espanol!!

[ToiPornaso]

[ToiPornaso]

hermoso tema la verdad es que los escucho desde que tengo 10 años en donde en una ciudad y pais donde los corruptos toman las esperanzas de las personas y las destrozan .. donde se creen mas las personas que " estudian " donde la gente se divide por el dinero . ropa . lenguaje y musica y no por los sentimientos .. esta musica me retrae a mi mismo y me hace pensar que a veces vale la pena vivir .. Argentina - Cordoba - capital

Gabriel Alejo Numa

Waiting for sleep . more than music.

[TartanBear]

Special song, great band brings back a lot of great memories!!

[AhumBramhasmi]

Along with Queensryche's Silent Lucidity, Enya's 'May be' one of the most beautiful and dreamy songs!!! Enchanting!!

[Keyboardzrock]

Personally, I prefer the lighter side of DT, and this songs really gets to me. Beautiful. Beautiful and enchanting.

[jaminjan316]

Beautiful Song :) !!!!

[unfreakinbelievable0]

Lyrics to the song, for those who don't know:

Standing by the window,

Eyes upon the moon.

Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon.

[unfreakinbelievable0]

She shuts the doors and lights,

And lays her body on the bed,

Where images and words are running deep.

She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head,

So quietly she lays and waits for sleep.

She stares at the ceiling

And tries not to think,

And pictures the chain

She's been trying to link again,

But the feeling is gone.

[unfreakinbelievable0]

And water can't cover her memory, And ashes can't answer her pain. God give me the power to take breath from a breeze, And call life from a cold metal frame. In with the ashes, Or up with the smoke from the fire. With wings up in heaven, Or here, lying in bed. Palm of her hand to my head, Now and forever curled in my heart, And the heart of the world. Amazing song and lyrics.

[nosfuratu1]

nice song

[perarne20]

it's called "Wait for sleep" by the way....

[SliderCGN]

what a gift to the world !

[rematribute]

you're right!

[perfectblue77]

great song ♪

[KuRKoCL]

nice song!!!!

KuRKo

[fabriciodeguillon]

amo este tema igual q another day!

[voicetube]

Nice!!

Curious, Did Dream Theatre ever do an instrumental of this song "Wait for Sleep?" I found several cool versions on youtube but no sign of a studio-recorded version.

[unfreakinbelievable0]

Voicetube- No, not a studio version. The only version of this song recorded in a studio is this version, for Images and Words. Sorry!

I'd like to hear the instrumental version, it sounds pretty cool.

[thousis]

me 2

[wendys120]

This song reminds me of high school.
