This song is about the inner conflict of one's self. A good portion of the time i listen to this song because of how i feel. With every Dream Theater song you can make a story out of it.
@miksaguitar Epic, brilliant, perfect, emotional, philosophic, classic, modern, extraordinary spectacular, sad, vast, awesome? I guess Dream Theater´s the word for those, as said before.
The people who disliked this obviously have emotional problems. Unable to cope with the fact that they are not able to play/write this music they lash out it a fit of clicking the dislike button. Sad :P
It is sloppy after Portnoy's standards, how can you not agree? You must be one hell of a fanboy if you don't want to admit that he's not playing 100% good all the time.
@Pedilul I also disagree, and I'm not a fanboy at all, in fact I hardly listen to Dream Theatre. If anything is sloppy in the video it is the lyrics, writing wise. Dream Theatre's weak lyrics are the reason I don't listen to them more often but I'm pretty much Mike Portnoy sounds as good as he ever does on this particular song(I also didn't hear him play out of time at all).
Well, it isn't one particular moment, but I think you guys have all misunderstood me - I never hear Portnoy get out of time usually, so it's very surprising for me. Listen throughout the song and you'll notice.
@Pedilul So you've put the stems for this song into Pro Tools and have mapped a perfect click track to it to determine your analysis? I think it'd be hard to find that he is off time if you haven't done that. If you're counting in your head, or even out loud, it's more than likely just you that's off. Not trying to ridicule :D Just seems like a bold claim.
I appreciate the tone, and I could be wrong of course, but am I the only one hearing him lose it a bit at like 2:46? he falls in tempo a bit and then rises again to try and keep up again. One of the best direct examples i believe. Of course it's nothing huge, just thought I'd point it out.
@Pedilul at 2:46 specifically? I'll give it a listen again. You may be right for all I know ^_^ Too bad they didn't release the stems for this album like they did with the special edition package of Black Clouds. That was one thing I was excited for more than anything lol (nerd....).
A really underestimated song... to me its full of feeling. It may lack some of the complexity of DT, but being simple makes it better actually. I love this one
heard this sing for the first time in a while, still fucking blows me away
