Great Song!!

[RipplecutBuddha]

Since I didn't see a music thread, I thought I would put this here.

I finally listened to the new album out by Dream Theater called A Dramatic Turn of Events. Now, DT is my favorite band of all time, and this song isn't typical of their stuff, but I was blown away by it and I just needed to share it here with my friends. (The best part is that it's entirely in my vocal range so I can sing it too )

However, rather than torture you with my singing, here's the song called This is The Life. Enjoy.

Here's the lyrics as well

In the heart of your most solemn barren night

When your soul's turned inside out

Have you questioned all the madness you invite

What your life is all about

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Have you ever wished that you were someone else

Traded places in your mind

It's only a waste of your time

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Feed the illusion you dream about

Cast out the monsters inside

Life begins with an empty slate

Fragile left in the hands of fate

Driven by love and crushed by hate

Until the day

The gift is gone

And shadows remain

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

Memories will fade

Time races on

What will they say

After you're gone

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Our gift divine

I enjoy listening to the music others find moving so I can get an appreciation for all the diversity out there.....and since you started something here....I found one that I think is quite possibly the most moving and beautiful song of all time.

The artist is a MASTER of building tension and then releasing it in the music. If you listen to the whole thing, the intensity builds and builds and builds with one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard...and even though the words are in a foreign language, the song touches me every time I listen to it....

Forward to 12 seconds to avoid waiting for the opening splash screen to expire, so you can get to the start of the song quickly.

I'm not getting the YouTube joke above with Pam and RCB, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong in posting a YouTube video!!

No excuse. I got off work at 7 a.m. after working 11 hours AND I had to walk home due to no car this morning.

So there.

Nope not at all. The joke was he didn't see a music forum. However he was posting a YouTube video of which there IS a forum for.

Yeah, but you're a mod so it's your job to know where stuff goes. I'm not, so I can still claim legitimate male brainlessness due to mediocre exertion over time.

and....hopefully people enjoy the song anyway....hehehe

I find it easier to please people if I lower their expectations.
