Dream Theater - Octavarium

[TheKhajiiit]

PURE CLASS.. BRILLIANCE.. WOW.. THERE ARE NOT THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE EPICNESS... LOVE THIS BAND

[Bryanbhoop]

THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING SONG IVE EVER FUCKING HEARD OMFG

I LOVE DREAM THEATER

[Gurkmassa]

You know that a song is good when it is 24 minutes long but you still put it on youtuberepeat

[VintageTempest1]

whoa.....these guys are like the more techno and modern version of RUSH...... creepy but sick tunes

[SneakehNub]

@VintageTempest1 imagine Geddy with a synthesizer and metal as all fuck. :P

[night86pl]

This is my absolute favorite Dream Theater song. The finale is breathtaking!

I made a piano instrumental cover of the last 4 minutes. Check it out if you're curious how the guitar solo would sound on the piano :)

[SetTimeLow]

This is real music.

[MrWidget91]

This song is one of the reasons why I enjoy listening to Dream Theater, 24 minutes of genius, and truly incredible song writing. It's a pity they canned Portnoy, he was the creative heart of DT.

[Zeradran]

@MrWidget91 They didn't fire Portnoy. He left

[manu01011001]

12:16 the best moment !

[bleauh]

Oh my god.

[Smerdax2012]

Trombopolis by Prophilax is better xD

[drummer265]

I'm so stoned right now. And this is one of the best decisions I've made tonight.

[ZOSOrulz1]

@drummer265 Yeah i gotta do that too to this song sometime

[drummer265]

@ZOSOrulz1 highly recommend it haha

[shunesputo]

this is the most beautifull ever

[kyussfan6]

This song is too long.

[MrPatino4]

@kyussfan6 WHHHHAAAAATTTT!!! this song is just not long enough! its just fucking insane man! true masterpiece!!

[kyussfan6]

@MrPatino4 Aint long enough to be Sex degrees of Inner Turbulence. You need this and Change of Seasons to match Six Degrees. :o)

[MrPatino4]

@kyussfan6 true that, but i consider every dream theater song a masterpiece! :)

[TheJaworpa]

Band Riverside is better for me..

[UnendingEmpire]

Quit comparing Symphony X and Dream Theater, people.

Octavarium > best song ever

End of story

[jmrvxpful]

The Odyssey and The Divine Wings of Tragedy (Symphony X) are songs over 20 minutes better than Octavarium.

[rudicci]

@jmrvxpful you forgot to write ''In my Opinion"

[GuitarAndWow]

@jmrvxpful hahahahahhahahah the odyssey is close to Octavarium cuz i've got to admite it's SX's best piece, but divine wings of tragedy is 1003210312 light years away EVERYBODY"S OPINION

[iCoverBands]

@jmrvxpful symphony x is one of my favs with dream theater....but cmon its dream theater:)

[CroGTheCrappyPaladin]

140 dislikes all of which are probably complaints on the length of this masterpiece. I say get the fuck over it and listen to the music for what it is. you WILL be pleasantly surprised, so long as your 3 year old attention span doesn't keep.

[Kid12Ghost]

Check out this epic prog metal band "Minotaur Project", especialy the song "77345_018" (Bio Shell). Trust me, they are a great band. If you don't like them, spam this comment, but if you do like them, please give this comment a thumbs up so everyone can know. They aren't better than Dream Theater (obviously) but trust me, they are worth the time!

[WpA09]

@Kid12Ghost yeah, i've heard them (in fact one member sent me a pm) and i have to agree that it is worth it to check them out!

[thebryanator14]

One of Dream theater's best songs.... just really epic and I love how they express the "It ends where it began" theme throughout the whole song

[ThrasherDeather]

How the hell can have people who do not like this!!

[SneakehNub]

how does this not have over 10 million views

[SrVictoriox]

@SneakehNub With 1 million of people who likes good music i'm ok =D

[grasnes]

@SneakehNub Because it have 100 million listeners.

[MrMrSanti]

the beginning sounds a bit like shine on you crazy diamond!!

[mj80tab]

good, this right

[mrleahcim95]

9:15 Anna Lee??? Yeah Great Song!!

[GetSumNutz]

Fucking magic

[wireartist1]

Can someone please lend me a napkin? There's a teeny red smudge on the 'like' bar...

[gilesengenharia]

140 pessoas frustradas na vida. Não sabem o que é a essencia da música... linda música..

[daniiip1]

>3 >3 >3 >3 >3 >3

[capolavoro93]

Grazie per aver pubblicato la canzone intera. Una canzone fantastica, grazie anche per il significato

[TheAlirauft]

Fazla birşey yazmama gerek yok....M U H T E Ş E M .....

[headcrusher0032]

TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM!

I love that part. The whole song is epic!

[TheDDD247]

omg, 24 minutes have just passed? I didn't even noticed D:

[drMzfictiOn]

it's simply the best song made so far

[BulletForHummel]

1.247.518 listened to this epic song

that means 1247518 * 24 minutes --> 29940432minutes ---> 56,9 years :D

[TheKurganator]

@BulletForHummel I like your comment, buddy. This song is amazing it literally ties the whole album together. I've turned full circle.

[RojoGatto]

Homework just got awesome.

[CreatedCreator21]

listened to the whole thing. this song is so amazing its, just, its inspiring is all i can say

[Kid12Ghost]

@Kid12Ghost I wonder if this will work...

[mattw8675]

I just shit my pants due to epicness overload.

[QcCarlou]

23:40 the story ends where it begins

[squails]

You guys inspired me in many ways and almost made me quit @ a million technical plateaous, yet I persevered and I thank you graciously. Love everything you ever put out for us to endure through life. Just wanna say THANKS!

[benhbook]

This shows even more how Dream Theater was mostly inspired by YES. This is why I love them, They make great music, and they were inspired by one of my favorite bands growing up.

[RitchieDiamond]

Seems to me a lot like Pink Floyd (Shine on you crazy diamond, Echoes)

[TheOliveboy93]

A Mike Portnoy hater on an Octavarium album song. Dah fuck?

[harshadsahasrabudhe]

totally trippy

[wiggs333]

This song,

it's 24 minutes of art! Nothing less!

It's LITERALLY 5 epic (!) songs woven together to the masterpiece which we can listen here for free!!!

Thank you, Dream Theater, this is truly a Godsend!

[MIKEPORTNOYING]

My girlfriend pushed the pause button. I pushed her in front of a bus.

[itslikesexinyoears]

@MIKEPORTNOYING Oh look ! Over there ! A MIKEPORNTOY fanboy !

[ChrissA20]

I could've swore I had cancer before I heard this song

[palmabreak]

17:38 reminds me of mario kart lol

[TheEmmiEmmi]

That's the most epic song in the world... I had a classical education and listen also pop,rock... but symphonic metal is the only music which can touch the classical music... cause it's no only based on four chords and some little text... but this is truly a simphony... it's just fuckin great!!!!

[Megadedly]

@TheEmmiEmmi This is prog, not Symphonic.

[Crapmation]

@TheEmmiEmmi

> Claims to have classical education

> spells symphony, "simphony"

[Wraithlore]

The beginning reminds me of old Kane's entrance music! ;)

[MrIdontknowanyname]

The story ends where it began.

Bullshit,this isn't looped

[silvercitron]

Hearing this first time and can't name any better song after this. Totally amazing!

[zmatokan]

MP says "Root" "Take all of me" (from 3:03 in The Root Of All Evil) plays in the background

"Second" "Don't let the day go by" (from 4:21 in The Answers lies Within)

"Third" A clip from These Walls

"Fourth" "I walk beside you" (from 1:06 in I Walk Beside You)

"Fifth" "Hysteria" (from 3:55 in Panic Attack)

"Sixth" "What would you say" (from 3:03 in Never Enough) plays in the background

"Seventh" A clip from Sacrificed Sons "Octave" "Side effects appear" (from 11:52 in Octavarium part II)

[abellat79]

jungle jungle

[AdrenalineThrob]

Amazing song. For those of you that don't know, this song has all 12 steps of AA that Mike Portnoy went through. Great music great lyrics.

[popcicle1423]

i heard lucy in the sky with diamonds around 14:10 which is wierd because i was just barely listening to that.

[MetalUpYourAss995]

it would be epic listening to this while smoking a joint

[mayootje93]

I keep wondering how one can create such epic! just wow!

[mayootje93]

such a peaceful feeling inside now. and only 6 minutes have passed

[sonicardostudios]

Best song ever made, no doubt about it. And for all the 137 people, and all the people say its too long and not that great, this song has a lot of meaning to it, and its very complex! There is NOOOOO way that this song could ever possibly suck! So to all you non believers, FUCK YOU AND GO LISTEN TO YOUR HANNAH MONTANA BULL SHIT!!!!! DT FOR LIFE!!!! \m/

[dannyjonestv]

Pure stoner music :D brings me back to when i was a kid and just started listening to dream theater. This next toke is to everyone from dream theater. I love you guys.

[Musicmansamuel]

The whole thing is great from beginning to end. The most amazing experience I've ever had was listening to the whole thing from beginning to end. Truly special.

[BeowulfVids]

@everyone, this song is full of references to other bands..  That's why parts sound like Pink Floyd, Yes, and many others.

[PimpMasterT]

this song....

[majere880]

First time listening to this song. I can't say I like it too much. I really like Under a Glass Moon, though.

[Wedigar]

@majere880 Most of their songs take a few listens to truly appreciate, since each time you listen you notice something new about the songs :)

[HBK1337]

beginning kind of reminds me of shine on you crazy diamond

[DancingWithChickens]

Fuck reddit.

[MrVirtualCoder]

@DancingWithChickens Fuck dat shit? It ain't worth you.

[Faromir101]

So...trippy. Tripping majorly...yeah...wow.

[sn1p3r46]

Tutti a vederli a Prugia al palaevangelisti ! ! ! il 22.02.2012 !! !

[MetalUpYourAss995]

@sn1p3r46 perche non ne sapevo nulla D:

[sn1p3r46]

@MetalUpYourAss995 Ancora sei in tempo per comprare il biglietto =)

[joaosolimeo]

This is the best song Pink Floyd never made.

[TheTrueSashsquatch]

@joaosolimeo its dream theater you idiot

[jps3520]

Search youtube for "silent lapse the wake video" if you want to hear a talented aspiring progressive metal band from my hometown. They have a really good drummer, and great flow to their songs. Free download of their album on their website, which is linked in the video.

[ssopro]

"TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM!" "TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM!" "TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" :):)::)

[RadioReprised]

Brace yourself Video. Reddit is coming

[MrScottishz]

@RadioReprised WE'RE HEEERRREEEE

[VideoMask93]

@RadioReprised There shouldn't be too many unless this happens to be on r/progrockmusic, r/progmetal, or r/dreamtheater. A good deal of Reddit wouldn't look twice at this.

[trashcan619]

This confuses me :

1st part: amazing it sounds like midevil music which i like the best

2nd part: eh what...?! i dont like the transition

3rd part: getting better awesome solo

4th part:i dont like this part

5th part: i love how the riff goes i like this part

OVERALL: rly good but 2 and 4 dont match with rest of the song the best on the album is these walls .

[DancingWithChickens]

@trashcan619 this isn't supposed to be heard in "parts". just listen to the whole thing with your eyes closed

[WickedSteak]

@trashcan619 This is progressive music. It changes lol. I thought the transitions were good.

[ac78913b]

Heard this for the first time as my introductory song to Dream Theater. At the risk of sounding like a tool and cliched, "Now that's what I call music!"

[MirkoNS1]

Reddit bring me here, time to make pizza :)

[TeleMA50c]

I love how Dream Theater likes to be heavy yet at the same time likes to channel the Floyd...truly unique band.

[David060609]

135 personas viven sin amor.....

[Mega100limites]

@David060609 make it 137

[Tenta93]

"When we finally start living it has become too late"

the meaning of this phrase is absolutely amazing...

[taiwanlovemusic]

this is what god listen to when he MAKE LOVE

[countrysamurai]

Brilliant....very uncommon Genius!



[naikuu]

Somebody give these guys a Grammy

[Tomdabomb5252]

Medicate makes me cry every time. He tells the doctor that it's not his fault as if he doesn't want the catatonia to take hold of the doctor's life too. Catatonic Schizophrenia is scary stuff, I'm so glad this was my introductory song to DT- these guys are fucking amazing.

[Zyborggian]

While this may be great music.... Id have to say this is progressive Rock and NOT metal. :)

[juljaxx]

@Zyborggian

well you might say that, but they are not a rock band. 

[Tedericoe]

@Zyborggian Dream Theater is definitely Progressive Metal. Some of their lighter stuff is akin to prog rock, but they're actually the pioneers of progressive metal.

[givemeajackson]

@Zyborggian listen to as i am, shattered fortress, bridges in the sky or honor thy father. you'll see why it's progressive METAL :D

[ascendinglioness]

Truly Special ....

[Vegeta1892]

It has been 3 weeks and this song is still on loop :|

[quicksteve2423]

playing skyrim stonned to this... epic... just saying

[Whenchy]

Turns on Octavarium.

Goes to work.

Comes back as music finishes.

[FoggyDucks]

@Whenchy i do this too at times!

[valbrazilval]

I was so fortunate to have been introduced to this band by the most special person in my life. Since then, he has shown me so much love and so much more. He´s forever in my heart. I wish I had told him that, that day... <3 He deserves so much!

[Deth376rone]

This is DT.

[iaintnoprophet]

Since the day this CD came out, I have been listening to this song redundantly, at least once a day. If my mind could be laid out in a song, this would be it.

[Dzisionek]

More epic song final is not possible :P

[younghermainli20]

@Dzisionek try six degrees of inner turbulence

[Danrm95]

im trying to learn this in morphwiz

[DonnieDarkoRemains]

Absolutely PHENOMENAL! Dream Theater is fucking beast!

[uchoish]

wow !!!!!

[arrackattack]

those guys, sure like pink floyd ! 

[flohlie]

@arrackattack Well they do :D

On some concert they palyed the whole "dark side of the moon"- and they did quite well in my opinion!

[migcont7]

the best song of dream theatre ¡¡ is a master piece

[mariomusic2012]

Extraordinario, como los grandes !!!!

[The982123]

wow... dream theater a créé un chef-d'oeuvre!

[CJTaylorr]

Someone let a bear into the studio at 18:53..

[GetSumNutz]

Masterpiece

[HelloFade2]

You think this version is good...check out the live version from the Score DVD.

[BenniTalent94]

@HelloFade2

You´re abosolutely right, the score version is fantastic!! same thing for "sacrificed sons" , blows me away again and again

[ripjs13]

only dream theater can make 25 minutes seem so short!! amazing.

[darkrai592]

Dream Theater forever!

[wizardcam]

I've probably listened this several hundred times and it just never gets old. Such brilliant composers.

[MemphisDrums]

Let everybody in the world hear Octavarium and the peace will come!

[mistytrance]

dam!! 4 beers aint enough 2 hear this beauty out!!!

[lemonmyst]

Stoned and staring into my bob marley lava lamp while listening to this song.

[EliteAssassin8]

[12cindirella]

[Marco33185]

MASTERPIECE :o)

[UnendingEmpire]

(Follow my playlist and find all my comments :D)

Step after step, we try controlling our fate

When we finally start living, it's become too late!

TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM!

[fifa12superior12345]

Before I heard this, my world was falling down, When I heard this, it made the world go round.

[fifa12superior12345]

my favourite part is from 19:33 to 19:48 that is class

[Guitarmazdur]

This song is so beautiful. So many emotions and memories come with listening to it. To me, Dream Theater will always be the greatest and most inspirational group of musicians ever.

[ExarchateOfficial]

I have to criticize this! It's just too short, 24 minutes isn't enogh!

[fifa12superior12345]

(singing in dream theater) i never, wanted, to become someone like Justin Bieber

[Arteymis]

So loud that my mouse was shaking.

[mbpiac6]

if this song was a potato, it would be a good potato

[crazya7xman]

Only 1 million views? Wow, this video needs 999 million more.
