Dream Theater - Finally Free

[OoStellarNightoO]

I just find it amazing that most dream theater songs sound so different yet awesome at the same time.

[cckid566]

doesn't even have the part where the Regression therapist kills Nicholas for the second time...

[q7an]

We'll meet again my friend someday soon..



[MrsBlackSheep4]

I remember when my lover used to play this song when he was near me...

Now he's gone, but this song is still here...

[sevenhill467]

the riff at 4:13 is just another proof why this album rocks so much

[NVRAMboi]

This particular album (and the format of it) is outstanding.

[jimbaras13]

one does not simply quit listening to this song

[headcrusher0032]

There are some bands that write really good fast, heavy music. Then there's those bands that write really good, melodic slower songs. Then there's Dream Theater, who write great regardless of speed.

[headcrusher0032]

God I love 2:50 !

I LOVE the whole album, but there's always those certain parts of those awesome songs that are just the best! (':

[Lokar92]

Views are 369693 today :D (18th February, 2012)

[Mrjackgordo90]

why that song is so good?

[LightsOfShadows]

@Mrjackgordo90 Because it's Dream Theater.

[toastednoodle1996]

4:25 goosebumps, goosebumps everywhere

[play1110]

Nice song... i like this...

[Timihendrix8597]

The best possible ending to a Great album....

[NeilTheSandman]

Best song ever !

[nobolettu]

what an epic album

[EthanMusicLover]

In my opinion, this album is the greatest ever recorded, by anyone.

[NdannsN]

The part that starts at 2:50 is the perfect exemple of DT's talent. Cause it's a pop meldy that could be another shit from Britney Spears or Lady Gaga. But this melody on a DT's song is just an eargasm cause they are so talented.

Great band.

[pequebego10]

Fucking god... This song it's perfect, this album it's perfect

[LordDarko64]

@pequebego10 My favorite album...EPIC!

[TimiB12]

This album will always reminding me my friend Adrian C.

I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!

[EtherwroughtPages]

2:51 - 9:55 = Greatest moment in music history

[carlinho1899]

epic final song of an epic album.

i've been listening to it for 13 years and so on

day by day

[GuitarAndWow]

@carlinho1899 im 13, and I've been listening to this song and DT ofc for 10 years..cry everytime i hear this song :\

[YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

The ending makes me laugh, just because that scream is the girliest man scream I've ever heard.

[ImGonnaShout2000]

@YouCantDeleteDenzelL

You surely don't mean that one at 7:24? That's just an epic moment!

[GuitarAndWow]

@ImGonnaShout2000 I usually start crying at 7:24 (REALLY :p)

[GuitarAndWow]

Most beautiful Dream Theater song :')

[challengeleo]

schools starts tommorow...thaT SUCKS...

[SeeUontheDSOTM]

"Open your eyes Victoria" continues to be one of the few moments in music that will always send chills up my spine. Good show Dream Theater.

[BlackenedThunder]

1:04 - 1:25

Just wonderful.

[Tjizmasta0v0]

@fipserator good

[Asgueroath16]

IMO, one of the three best songs of this album

(Dance of eternity, The spirit carries on an this one)

[Odribah]

@Asgueroath16 Couldn't agree more. haha

[DonkeyDood15]

This is an amazing finale to an amazing album! Dream Theater fan forever!

[kinginsomnia]

I feel like i'm sinning when i don't listen to metropolis part one followed by the whole of part two as one whole song, but i love this ending so much i thought i'd treat myself :D on the 'one last time' references that julian says to victoria in this it makes me want to cry ):

[Fipserator]

@Blasterfire918 No, I never used to hate them. I always loved them because THEY ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!

[eden953]

i have no words

just amazing...realy

so interesting.amazing.smart.what can i say!?

[Blasterfire918]

@Fipserator Oh god no don't put that meme on a a Dream Theater Video!

[Fipserator]

I used to hate Dream Theater, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[scapeplan2]

@Fipserator I used to hate Dream Theater, but then I listened to them.

[RainCityNate]

Sweet jesus, I love this song!

[EveryOrcIsAGay]

OMG OMG SO BEAUTIFUL

[JulianBaynes1]

I'd take my own life before losing you.

[1999paokaras]

yeah!it's 10 days away of christmas

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I ran into Judy and said we'd get together soon.

[LeftBehindForDead]

I was happier not knowing the lyrics to this song. I was thinking they'd thrown in one or two lines that aren't completely literal. Sadly, I look it up now, find out what I thought might be him saying "in a plethora of fugue." Nope, it's just more menial lyrics which says "in a pathway out of view." Why Dream Theater? Why are you such good musicians but such horrific lyricists?

[bladhack]

@LeftBehindForDead no

[Megadethication]

@LeftBehindForDead I suggest you read the story of this whole album on wikipedia, cuz It's really a great and mind blowing ... !

[LeftBehindForDead]

@Megadethication I have done that. As regards that, two major things come into mind: 1. A good lyricist will not require outside information to make sense of his lyrics short of literary allusion, for example, TMV says in a song "these ides of march are they so make-believe," the "ides of march" being from Julius Caesar, much different from looking up an entire external story. 2. The story is stereotypical and hacknied and his lyrics are as if he has the vocab of a 15 year old.

[LeftBehindForDead]

@Megadethication Don't get me wrong, they're phenomenal and talented composers and musicians, I just hate their lyrics.

[MorTolking]

@LeftBehindForDead

Dude, u really need to search this up, this whole album is a story, u can't expect to understand a book after reading the 2 middle pages, can u?

As it happens Mike Portnoy is (well, was) one of the best song writers in this specific genre, have some respect :)

[LeftBehindForDead]

@MorTolking Hey, I've liked Metropolis Pt. 2 for several years now, it's one of my favorite albums. I just think the guy is a horrible lyricist. What specific genre are you talking about? I consider these guys part of the overall prog rock genre, and, as far as prog rock goes, King Crimson and The Mars Volta have the greatest lyrics I've heard.

[MorTolking]

@LeftBehindForDead Lol the minute I started reading you reply I knew u'd bring up King Crimson :)

I was talking specifically about *modern* prog, I always had trouble comparing bands Like Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree to what I consider true prog bands like King Crimson & Camel. Well I guess we're all entitled to having our own opinions, personally I think the guy is a genius, the story in Scenes from a Memory is so theatrical, u hardly see (well, hear) those kinda things these days.. :)

[GuitarAndWow]

Best album of Dream Theater :(

[Ekkiejj]

@GuitarAndWow

Why the sadface? be grateful :)

[GuitarAndWow]

@Ekkiejj This song makes me sad cuz i've been listening to it for 10 years...(im 13 now) :))))

[GuitarAndWow]

@Ekkiejj :P

[LPmarkac]

@GuitarAndWow mrš

[musicrocks36]

holy fuck. that is all i can say. holy fuck.

[dice4death]

A decade of love for this one.

[eralbrick1]

one of the best songs of dream theatre

[xXXC0MM4ND3RXXx]

@eralbrick1

it's theater u british retard

[ra13333]

@xXXC0MM4ND3RXXx And it's 'you' you arrogant twit. Hopefully you're not American 'cause that would just perpetuate that stereotype.

[johnpetruccirocks11]

@ra13333 How are you going to come at him for saying "u" instead of "you" when you are saying "cause" instead of "because"?

[Ekkiejj]

@johnpetruccirocks11

How can you guys b*tch about this nonsense while an epic masterpiece is playing in the background? Enjoy the song man!

[ra13333]

@johnpetruccirocks11 " ' " signifies a missing letter or word, I could put 2 but that'd look strange. Just shut up and enjoy the song, and please be more tolerant.

[TheElme3]

Anybody knows if the the hypnotherapist in the begining is Antony Hopkins? His voice is almost the same. If it is anyone can tell the from which movie it is? Thanks.

[calitheguitarist]

@TheElme3 the guys name is Terry Brown, he was also a vocals co-producer on the album

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Thanks to YouTube, all of Dream Theater's songs are finally free.

[guitarguy022412]

@MlKEPORNTOY upvoted for the user name

[TheWafflingDrew]

@TheRobz000 youre retarded.

[TheRobz000]

@TheWafflingDrew I didn't read earlier comments LOL

[MIKEPORNTOYsucks]

@MlKEPORNTOY This troll is NOT Mike Portnoy. His name is DAVID DOLLINAR. Flag his account for spam, harrassment, and impersonation.

[jurberto]

@MIKEPORNTOYsucks no because hes hilarious :D

[jurberto]

@MIKEPORNTOYsucks hes a true dream theater fan so why we should flag him?

[MilkyCamps]

@MIKEPORNTOYsucks ill report you instead..his comments are funny. urs are gay

[AdrenalineThrob]

@MIKEPORNTOYsucks This troll is a PUSSY, FLAG his account for being a BITCH.

[tsoutsoutsou]

[TriviumCroDT]

[baaaarnsey]

epic. just epic

[betterthanyou99]

Listening to this on my first day of thanksgiving break because i'm "finally free" from school and exams lol

[theturkishgamer1]

@betterthanyou99

lolz same.

[TSchellhous]

This is probably my favorite album of all time, has to be listened to as one song in my opinion

[gogolefler]

1:07.....Donkey kong 64 entering the aligators ship

[NicolBolas7]

@gogolefler

That's so true !

And DK 64 was my very first video game.

Moreover, Scenes and DK 64 are from the same year (1999) => weird coincidence......

[xxxxmetalfencerxxxx]

cool



[LarsUlrichhhh1]

13 people died of feeling awesomeness, and their families found the video, and disliked it because it caused their death.

[frunorock]

13 people... they just born

[EricKerisimasi7]

Hypnotherapist: Open your eyes Nicholas.

Nicholas: AAH!

(GUNSHOT)

[tidealagain1]

EPIC

[DjBescul]

Wow

[mrshotgun]

Open your eyes Victoria!!

[TheIwako]

I don't know ANY band that could describe a human soul better than Dream Theater! This song, their whole album is so epic!

It's incredible how the song includes relievance but also incredible drama... Epic! Absolutely amazing!

[zombie1967bp]

i like DT

[BloodHarvest21]

1. I just listened to this album in it's entirety. I am speechless.

2. Dream Theater is just amazing.

3. I did my chemistry homework to this. I'm getting a 100 ;)

[Fascy2]

cazzo, l'assolo alla fine è una cosa super meravigliosa

[Fascy2]

dio esiste ed è in questa canzone

[TheLolman2009]

I listen to this when I feel depressed. Do not ask why

[sevenhill467]

Open your eyes Nicholas

[Megadave020]

This must of been an awesome concert..

[xXSTFDXx]

@Megadave020 *Must have

[1123pinkfloyd]

@xXSTFDXx Thx grammar cop . . .

[zegh8578]

@xXSTFDXx man, its a good thing you corrected him. his bad grammar was thoroughly detrimental to the integrity of the entire internet, as a whole. you sure put him in his place. hopefully he has learned his lesson, and we can all live in peace, without fear.

[Megadave020]

@zegh8578 sry dood... is this beter? i dout highyl tht ths means enything.

[zegh8578]

@Megadave020 idunno what point your trying to make. mine was that i hate obsessive grammar nazis. especially the kind who cant even get a positive comment or a compliment, without head-diving right for the grammatical corrections. so... in the name of solidarity, i decided to grant him some of my own time and effort. then you decided to make yourself heard, and now im repaying you the effort. hello there. how are you?

[Megadave020]

@zegh8578 I was trying to make a point that one shouldn't care if someone makes a grammar error, that I could be a lot worse, and I shouldn't represent how the internet doesn't spell correctly.

I'm fine. How about yourself?

[zegh8578]

@Megadave020 then you misunderstood my original response. that was my point as well, only "sarcastified". for the very most part, i think communication should concern wether or not the message is coming across. litterature is another matter, but on the internet i couldnt care less about grammar. i rarely bother to adhere to the grammatical rules of english. hi five!

[Megadave020]

@zegh8578 Agreed. Hopefully you're not being sarcastic now ha ha..But, yeah, it's the internet. people shouldn't care about stuff like that unless it's in a book or magazine or article on the web.

[Megadave020]

@xXSTFDXx Ah, thank you.

[JohnSkywalker]

@Megadave020 Saw this show in 2000, and I have to tell you it was one of the greatest musical events I've ever been to.

[lulalely]

a lot of beautiful melodies in that song...

[Destructerator]

FEELING GOOD THIS FRIDAY AFTERNOON

want to sing that at the top of my lungs when I listen to it on my ipod

[SabbraCadabra]

The latter part of this song (climax) is the best part. Such awesome chord progressions.

[GuitarAndWow]

sad song..been listening to it for 10 years..im 13 :(

[Moonlover93]

Fatally attracted by this song !

[Reality2able]

i dont no why Mike Portoy leving the Band... this breaks me the heart :(

[rkRamy]

@Reality2able I know it sucks :(

[stakri]

sick drumming in the outro!mike, you are the soul of DT...hope to see you back soon!

[RokkStarr224]

i used to listen to this song when i was really little. my dad and i and are still dream theater fans. listening to this brings back great memories :')

[arcturuz78]

insane drumming in the last 2 mins

[deckervideos]

Can anybody tell me some other bands relaxing and so deep as this one? I really love this kind of music but I don't know many bands

[xXSTFDXx]

@deckervideos Try the album "In Absentia", by porcupine tree, and "Damnation" by Opeth. It's as "relaxing", "deep", beautiful, nostalgic and well, for lack of a better word, "magical" as soft prog rock can get. Specially In Absentia.

[ForgotenHero]

@xXSTFDXx

You, my friend, are awesome. Those 2, and Pink Floyd are the only bands I could recommend that will get you the same reactions, emotions and feelings as DT does. Nothing else really compares in my opinion. They should make a new genre for them called goosebump generating music.

[andrewizz]

@xXSTFDXx lol, just my favourite albums of that kind xD

[Haloplayer20]

@xXSTFDXx blackest eyes is pretty heavy, though

[gielomir3]

@deckervideos Try TooL

[GuitarAndWow]

[hngaify]

masterpiece.

[mirko11001100]

9 people didn`t see the light

[colorsoundguitar]

cosa dire?.....Grazie Dream theater...

[JoshStobart]

The consistency of awesome albums from this band amazes me. They are rich, successful and get better and better at what they do? It must be a first!

If you haven't yet checked out any other DT songs, start with the Images and Words album and work your way up.

[Viibrate]

@JoshStobart Eh? I'd start from the beginning and work my way up, haha.

[gotha]

@JoshStobart strictly musically this album may not be the best out there, but as a whole matter, in my opinion this is the best album already. To be honest IDK if we should still call this 'thing' an 'album', not a 'song'.

[Soldiercloud95]

the last song of the greatest album in the history

[ronshultz1]

[goodygoody23]

WARNING: Do NOT take viagra before listening to this song. Your erection WILL last for more than 4 hours and you will have to consult a physician or listen to a Justin Bieber song.

[Sasox]

@goodygoody23 stop mentioning that stupid name

[7thTimeSlaughter]

I'd really like to think that Trolls didn't exist, but 9 made it to Dream Theater.

DESTROY THEM, THEY ARE NOT HUMAN.

[csarvids]

my fav part at 4:15 :D

[SitBkAndEnjoy]

i really hate this like and dislike shit on youtube. how can this be disliked seriously.

[LesVideosDeJet]

What's the exact story of the album ? I like this album but i'm sure i would like it even more if i knew all the signification of all songs :B

[AfroBenevolence]

@LesVideosDeJet I don't know, maybe a guy called Nicholas that felt a scar in his heart and didn't know what was causing it, went to a psychician (?) and wanted to do a Regression, then, the guy went back to 1928 and saw a girl called Victoria that was killed by Nicholas' Bro... Nicholas knew that he fell in love with Victoria and Nicholas' Bro was jealous. At the end, Nicholas woke up in the modern day and went back to his house and I don't know if it was Nicholas' Bro but someone killed him...

[Geniasis]

@AfroBenevolence IIRC, it's part of this whole cycle from a song on the Images and Words album "Metropolis Part I: The miracle and the sleeper", where basically one person is always the killer and one of the others is always the victim. In this one, Nicholas is basically Victoria's reincarnation (hence why he identifies with her) and according to the band, the psychiatrist was the reincarnation of the brother that killed them. Both became aware of it during the therapy. So he killed him.

[AfroBenevolence]

@Geniasis 2 years after, you solved mi questions... lol, thank you.

[AfroBenevolence]

@LesVideosDeJet BTW You can read the entire thing in Wikipedia! lmao.

[kerranka]
