Video lifting shadows off a dream

[magetaaaaaa]

John Myung and Kevin Moor always wrote the best songs.

[JohhnySnipshow]

Breaking delicate wings... is my favourite dream theater lyric they ever wrote

[MlKEPORNTOY]

This song totally cops the Cure meets U2 vibe. That's fuckin' gay.

[IMZA1793]

Riff at 4:33 sounds a little like Close to the edge - yes

[meryuin]

@IMZA1793 accept this was written in 93-94

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I should write a song about leaving Avenged Sevenfold called "Lifting M. Shadows Off A Dream."

[sergiudrummer]

@MlKEPORNTOY quit it ...

[MrCookie31c]

@MlKEPORNTOY

man you used to be funny but now...

common, man...

[myrro666]

when I've finally played this song on drums I felt proud like a god... I know it's not that hard to play it, but drums in this song are just amazing :) aren't they? ;)

[doobie355]

In my opinion this is one of the coolest DT songs

[Strive4dinner]

:Q____

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

Innocence Faded is my fave Dream Theater song

[lsmartin96]

john myung doesn't talk that much thats way he wrote this song

[DTROXX]

Johny Myung needs to talk less and write more deep songs

[JThrashYT]

@DTROXX agreed. lol

[freakingbonnetli]

awesome song !!.. i love Space Dye Vest too..

[alphaenemy]

@freakingbonnetli Yeah. These two are really outstanding songs on an otherwise still pretty damned good album.

[progrockkeyboardist]

@alphaenemy: Yep, the A Mind Besides Itself suite, Space-Dye Vest and this one are what makes Awake a masterpiece. (OTOH, Caught in a Web is weak and Innocence Faded is unbearable. But, heck, Images & Words has Surrounded.)

[progrockkeyboardist]

@alphaenemy: I forgot Scarred! How could I! Scarred is pretty damn amazing, too!

[AMAZINGDOG402]

*Myung Tackle*

Favorite song in Awake, I just love it, then for SDoIT my favorite is Dissapear, it reminds me of when I lost my... never mind, saying this "publicly" would be humiliating.

[dbvideoinc]

Lyrics by John Myung

[NannyDavis]

hoje sou steve wonder vendo-me no escuro

[antichristo666]

4 people doesn´t know what its all about

[lsmartin96]

@antichristo666 i know what it's about a nervous man falling in love with a woman

[antichristo666]

@lsmartin96 What I meant was that 4 peps dislikes this video...

[alphaenemy]

Just oustanding vocal melodies and composition. Three albums later and they fail like a senior Earnhardt. Turn left, dummy!

[Fatal25PS]

Nice song! i love DREAM THEATER! btw JUSTINE BEABER SUCKS :P

[lsmartin96]

this song is so beautiful

[hardcorejanitor444]

John Myung writes songs? He Never talks but he can!



[hardcorejanitor444]

John Myung writes songs?



[mikeybo13]

Myung, Moore and petrucci wrote the best stuff.

[ItamarZ13]

@mikeybo13 Portnoy's saga is awesome, don't you think?

[alphaenemy]

@ItamarZ13 Nah, mostly pretentious and masturbatory. A few decent moments, but messy, but in a way, it reflects the same twelve step program that inspired it.

[ItamarZ13]

Lyrics written by John Myung!

[TheTombree]

the intro freaks me out really.. first time i heard this song i smoked pot and i thought of space and that stuff.. you know like these starclsuters look like and after all this while ( although i stopped doing drugs) i can't seem to get that image out of my head.. not that i'm this lowhead junky but i did it for creative experience and such, it was kinda awesome but not verry good for the health..

[lsmartin96]

LIFTING SHADOWS OFF A DREAAAAAM

LIFTING SHADOWS OFF A DREAAAAAAAAAM

[musicmonkeyboard]

Need. Awake!

[lsmartin96]

@ginoforgino me too

[mikeybo13]

This is orgasmic.... such a perfectly written song.

[lsmartin96]

5:07 is my favorite part

[TheExpansionMansion]

Some of LaBrie's best work here! He is really stellar thruout the whole album.

[lakimelmak]

F*cking best part ! 03:56 !!

[6digit]

Mark Minemamn is more better than Portnoy although Mike is so very technical drummer than Mark but when it comes in speed and spirit Mark has it he gives a lot of hope for that band!

[SpaceDyeDream]

@6digit

What the fuck

[musicplaya4111]

I LOVE John Myung!  He is SO BRILLIANT! What an amazing lyricist and bassist! I ASPIRE to be as good as he is someday!

[RAKETHELEGEND]

simply love when at 3:57 they take again the same piece already heard on erotomania =D

[blackmax2323]

Message to WMG morons: every damn CD and DVD I've bought of DT's work has come from hearing their material on YouTube. You MAKE money by posting their work online. Idiots.

[cac0demon]

jesus christ - what's going on??? Mike is leaving Dream Theater??? I can't believe my eyes!!! Holy shit!!!!! I knew this could happen some day, but now I just can't believe..... Mike, for heaven.... why....? take care anyway and best luck to you! That twas a goddamn 25 fantastic years.... and I never forget I heard Metropolis Pt. I. and how I was happy

[pantalaemon]

shit, now i need to buy awake.

[Zrinyi45]

@pantalaemon

Me too :)

[pantalaemon]

@Zrinyi45 i did in the meantime. that thing is so worth it, i could bash my head against the wall for having overlooked this gem for so long.... well, lesson learnt. on to falling into infinity and dream & day! anyway, point being: you won't regret the purchase :P

[Remaanahk]

Lifting Shadows of a Dream Theater NOW broken.

Come back Portnoy!

[jaipipor]

Three people with parkinson's disease watched this video.

[silvoca001]

@jaipipor u r a genious man 

[drakontas1]

3 people are deaf...

[vennootje]

Fantastic song, fantastic album, fantastic band

[freakingbonnetli]

Music is dying, its now more of a commodity not an art. DT knows this so their music is the most amazing and beautiful pieces of our time and thats why i love them so much. They keep it to an art-form not a bunch of digitally altered crap (Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, etc...). and when it comes to metal they actually know how to use their instruments instead of hitting 3 chords in and repeating through out . Dream Theater sadly is the only band left to play true music. R.I.P Music !!

[JThrashYT]

this album makes me trip balls

[eftipef1]

Awake is my favorite DT album, hands down.

[myrro666]

3 people are not AWAKE!

[SpaceDyeDream]

@myrro666

But this album is like a daydream.

[myrro666]

HELL OF A DRUMMING... check out that final riff (or how is it called in english lol) in the last chorus. I mean how many things is Mike doing at the same time omg... I always screw it up xD Training training training and once I'll play it.... Then a collapse will follow caused by the euphoria, because just by listening to it I'm nearly there. :D

[loudbrit]

this song is deep, the music is mystic, i love the rhythms of how the guitar is played out, the drums are subtle in the intro, i love the entrance of this song, the keys provide a good background. I think its the keys that made this song sound so enigmatic if that word even exist.

[CanadianNoob17]

is this album a concept album like Mp2?

[randommoosebrains]

the bass harmonics In my opinion, beat guitar harmonics, and this is coming from a guitar player :)

[YianniPapazis]

@randommoosebrains

First guitarist I've heard say that :) You should see Portrait of Tracy by Jaco to see Harmonics at it's best on bass.

[randommoosebrains]

@YianniPapazis I have listened to that song, a masterpiece in my opinion, bass harmonics are so amazing.....

[YianniPapazis]

@randommoosebrains

Look at Zander4724 for more amazing use of harmonics.

[SVSilent]

3:35 Best solo ever written...

[pulzarstudios]

best

[blaindis]

very beautiful :)

[Lordgout]

best bass intro ever

[CristianTejadaU]

@Lordgout i like the chicken (jaco)

[EazyRun]

Progressive Metal à la Tool and Dream Theater makes me think about new Basslines^^

[jmiester25]

just picture hagrid playing drums :D

[jamesshup]

Dream Theater is the most talented band around!!!

[louiscfc93]

i bought this album purely for this song but it is a great album.and im not even a huge fan of this band

[stomidros]

love this song.....

[studmeow]

They messed up big time. Mike will not be replaced as easily as Kevin was.

[nikooxmaster]

@studmeow Mike is gonna come back ;)

[Akinito10]

Great creation of John Myung :D

[euskalduna666]

N I C E

[Mrtheunnameable]

[Sun2ni]

This make perfect all who listen it....D=!

[6digit]

by the way Portnoy left the band but before he said in one interview, no one can destroy our band!

[tys519]

in my top five DT songs for sure! I wish john myung would start writing again...

[ginoforgino]

I Love Thisi Song!

[monicafrocks]

Just one of my DT Faves!!! A deep song indeed..Fan-freakin-Tastic!

[metal4lifeddie]

WMG are gay pussy fucking fagets who dont' believe in the freedom of expression.

People tell me what to say,

what to think

and what to play. I say...

People tell me what to say,

what to think

and what to play.

[6digit]

@metal4lifeddie

what WMG stands for?

John Myung knows how to wrote a better lyrics than Portnoy .. for real!!

[FlaKey651]

Anyone else think that the album art from black clouds and silver linings is very similar to this?

[tomasheavymetal]

"Hoje sou Stevie Wonder,olhando-me no escuro" 4:14

[Barsabus]

sounds good. great quality. I hope the people who made this keep making music for the rest of their lifes. i would listen to it.

[bombono00]

this song is great.

[SkyFire1992]

Magnificent. The Intro+Outro are simply Soul-Orgasmatic.

[pocenha]

Did Myung write this song?

[Zoury]

@pocenha yup!

[oskhDW]

onirico..

[HidingfromtheDay]

Beautiful song...

[bakinchoy]

[NewAgeEagles]

[XRasenX]

[nonavarium]

the lyrics are so fcking beauti!!!!

[6digit]

one of the deepest song ,made by John Myung and this album is so deep too!

[Progmandrake]

awake was the last DT masterpiece, and the sad part is that the ending of the album is his saddest song ever like saying: R.I.P DT.

[88baron88]

@Progmandrake  MA COSA CAXXO DICI COGLIONE????

[Lurcher99]

one of the best songs from Dream Theater :D

I hope they won't remove it....

[Tokiohotelmurderer]

FUCK WMG, THEY FUCKING REMOVED STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS LIVE IN BUDOKAN !!!! Really hope they won't ruin this video too..

One of the best songs from awake..

[bluesdues]

they won't. :)

[stormchaserrocks]

They actually put up a different version of it. It's a drum cam on mike portnoy, and it's still the same concert. Just has the different angle.

[trinketmagebeatz]

@Tokiohotelmurderer Well you're illegally uploading music in direct disregard of copyright laws. Why shouldn't they?

[MrRydeR00]

@Tokiohotelmurderer Not One of the best, The Best.

[Slashuzzo]

[smartdude1212]

I dedicate this phenomenal song to Josh.
