Jordan is absolutely amazing.

[MusicmanDT24]

There are no words to give enough respect to this man and his talents. Every time i listen to anything he plays i literally get chills.

[D34THtoZombies]

Now this is music!!

[MasterOfTrapos]

@Horfenico more exactly, few days before her 7th birthday

i say it because it's a sadder of why james wrote the song

even if coma is really serious, it was few days before his daughter's birthday

really sad story

just to remember it makes me cry

poor james

[Wilhiemthe2nd]

wait, Jordan does covers on their own songs? 0.o

[kiikasi]

It's probably because it's in the same key, has most of the same progressions, and starts on roughly the same chord lol

Look up Moonlight Sonata right now and compare.

[kiikasi]

Vacant as a piano song really reminds me of Moonlight Sonata for some reason...

[lennoth]

yeah i understand this, you are right, but i prefer the original, but this version its cool too

[marHAVIK]

@lennoth That's how the original song sounds. He was trying to emphasize the melodies of Dream Theater songs in this album, so why would he change the whole feeling?

[SukenMeloDarkness]

this not a cover

[RikkudoSennin]

@Horfenico Woah...That's intense.

[Horfenico]

@RikkudoSennin It's about Jame's Labrie's daughter when she was in a coma for a couple of days.
