Dream Theater (Octavarium) Kel-n-Rich FIRST REACTION

[@sambhavdhoju1525]

Got this from a forum and I think he pretty much hit the nail on the head. The song is about Dream Theater and their influence on progressive rock. The first 13 and a half minutes of that song sound very similar to pink floyd, yes, genesis, the beatles, and many other progressive rock pioneers. This is done on purpose, considering that they started the genre, so Dream Theater started the song by playing their music very much like their influences - "i never wanted to become someone like him" basically means Dream Theater, when they were young, never wanted to be like their influences because they wanted to be independent. However no matter how hard they try they will end up being just like them in some way, although still original - "Then all I swore that I would never be was now, so suddenly, the only thing, I wanted, to become, to be someone just like him." The next part of the song is sort of a metaphoric explanation of how Dream Theater became like them, other than that there is not much i can explain. At about 14 minutes into the song, a strong, very progressive metalish riff comes into play, and that is where the line "Isn't this where we came in?" (sample from Pink Floyd The Wall) is heard. The basic reason for this quote is to explain that at this point in time (around 1989), Dream Theater opened the door to a new genre (Progmetal, for those of you who dont know). Now Dream Theater realizes that they will always be like their fathers, and yet original, so they pay homage to their influences in this section. Some of the lyrics in this section : - Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper, diem's ready ...sailing on the seven seas: OMD song ...seize the day: famous DT line from A Change of Seasons ...day tripper: Beatles song ...diem's ready: Carpe Diem from A Change of Seasons -Jack the ripper, Owen's Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready ...jack the ripper: Judas Priest song ...owen wilson: if you dont know this youre retarded ...phillips and my: not sure lol ...supper's ready: Genesis song -Lucy in the sky with diamond, Dave's not here ive come to save the day ...lucy in the sky with diamonds: Beatles song ...daves not here: Yes song -For nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again ...nightmare cinema: antonym to Dream Theater, and also a joke band they made with Derek Sherinian (former DT keyboardist) ...home: Dream Theater song -Eugene Gene the dance machine messiah, light my fire, gabba gabba hey hey ...gene gene the dance machine: TV character from the 70-80s ...machine messiah: Yes song ...light my fire: Doors song ...gabba gabba hey: Ramones song -Hey hey my my generation's home again ...hey hey my my: Neill Young song ...my generation: The Who song ...home again: Dream Theater song again The next part, Intervals, is about the songs on the album Octavarium itself. I need not explain, just read this: 1. The Root of All Evil Root Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath Remove all obstacles from our path 2. The Answer Lies Within Second Asking questions Search for clues The answer's been right in front of you 3. These Walls Third We try to break free Long to connect Fall on deaf ears with failed muted breath 4 .I Walk Beside You Fourth Loyalty, trust, faith and desire Carries love through each darkest fire 5. Panic Attack Fifth Tortured insanity A smothering hell Try to escape but to no avail 6. Never Enough Sixth The calls of admirers Who claim they adore Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more 7. Sacrificed Sons Seventh Innocent victims for merciless crimes Fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs 8. Octavarium Octave Step after step We try controlling our fate When we finally start living it's become too late Root second third fourth fifth sixth seventh and octave are musical intervals, thus the name of the section. And all the songs on Octavarium are on different scales spaced interavally: Root of all evil is in F, Answer lies within is in G, These walls is in A, I walk beside you is in B, Panic attack is in C, Never enough is in D, Sacrificed sons is in E, and Octavarium is in F, therefore making that album a full circle. TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM basically means that the band cannot be different or independent anymore because they have already defined themselves. A perfect sphere Colliding with our fate The story ends where it began Notice the first note in The Root Of All Evil is an F, well the last note in Octavarium is the same F, making it a full circle and saying that the story ends where it began musically as well. This song = pure genius

[@ahmadfachryzal4466]

Don't forget that this song is exactly 24 minutes which resembles 24 hours a day

[@tonyallen4265]

Watching this reaction again after two years. Thank you Kel n Rich for introducing me to this group and this song. This and Close to the Edge have become my favorite songs ever. Epic, dramatic, emotional, deep and important. I hope and pray y'all are doing okay. You two are awesome people!

[@WorldCitizen333]

6:22 "this is crack to a Pink Floyd lover." My thoughts exactly :) As a Pink Floyd lover, this is the song that made me a Dream Theater fan. If you're looking for other DT songs to react to, I recommend their instrumental: "Stream of Consciousness".

[@darrellwood3913]

I was never a huge DT fan back in the day.I always preferred Fates Warning over them for my progressive metal needs but when I first heard this song I could no longer deny how great they really are.This is a great song live as well.

I’ve only recently got into Fates Warning. Been listening to Theories of Flight a lot lately and The Light and Shade of Things is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.

[@Wedigar]

@@StonyBlazestation Check out Disconnected and A Pleasant Shade of Gray. APSOG is basically a 58 minute song, broken into 12 parts. Kevin Moore plays keyboards on both albums. Some awesome stuff. If you want some other prog, I found the band Zierler recently. They only have one album, but it's killer. Bobby Jarzombek from Fates Warning is their drummer.

This song has SO MANY Easter eggs in it. From bands and songs they were influenced by, to references to all the other songs on the album (which were all in successive keys to make an octave). There's a Wikipedia page on the song you'd probably find very interesting. Great video, guys.

This song is so beyond majestic.

[@geggs13]

Craziest think about this song, is that the last piano note, is the exact same with which the album begins in the first song. So you come full circle....

[@gregmendonca1719]

The 1st song is Root Of All Evil (ROOT). The 8th and last song is Octavarium (OCTAVE). If you listen to the last piano note on the last song (In The Name Of God) on their 7th album (Train Of Thought), it's the same piano note as the beginning of Root Of All Evil on their 8th album. Tying these albums together. Additionally, if you listen to the static at the end of last song (Scene Nine: Finally Free) on their 5th album (Scenes From A Memory), it's the same static at the beginning on the first song (Glass Prison) on their 6th album (Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence), tying those albums together.

[@AleshaKidsTVOfficial]

I think this song represents a picture of the universe, a human being with his life. Born, alive, until the time of death. Listening to this song is like feeling the arrival of a gentle fairy, and also the appearance of a cruel monster. I am sure God is in all the harmony of Octavarium songs. It's hard to understand how this song was created 🙏🙆‍♂️

[@TheDphumphries]

Couldn't find the OP that led me to this reaction, but I wanted to inject some positive on this thread since negativity was spewed. I found Kel and Rich about a week after my wife filed for divorce. It makes sense our marriage survived hell for a long time, but didn't make it in the end. Your mind, body and soul still goes to a very dark place with the death of a relationship you poured everything into for almost 17 years. From what I've been able to gleen from your channel, both of you were previously married and lost a son. I may not be exact on this but your relationship has actually provided a light at the end of the tunnel. It is an example that sometimes life beats the crap out of you, but there is hope for love, joy and happiness to re-emerge and sprout anew. Keep doing what you do, you are an inspiration to more than you may realize.

[@randydellinger]

I was married 20 years to my first wife. I was unhappy the last several years and filed for a divorce, life is too short to be unhappy! Then I met an incredible woman over 2 years ago that truly showed me what love was for the first time in my life. I feel so fortunate, we've been married 5 months now and our love grows stronger every day. My advice is don't settle for someone, you'll know when you've met your soulmate, they really exist!

[@lildino72]

Intro reminds me of Pink Floyd " shine on you crazy diamond"

[@alanalanis2257]

Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory is actually their first rock opera. It was released in 1999. It is also amazing and epic and mind-blowing as all their other epic albums!!!!!

One of the best bands to listen to with harsh vocals is Opeth. The song 'Bleak' is a perfect starting point for those not used to the style (like me at first listen), and it has clean vocals to balance things out.

I cry everytime i hear this song. (I am a metalhead of 40yrs listening to the best music on the planet. All genres like your good selves. But a lot of bands still catch me unawares.

Best song.. Every fucking second is Enjoyable.. Best musicians 🍻

[@Killjoy3189]

Nerd facts... DT will often revert back to older songs with their lyrics sometimes. This album, Octavarium, isnt a concept album but the songs reference each other a little bit. There are a 8 songs on this album and starting with the first song, The Root of All Evil, the songs move up in octaves. Until they reach the final 8th octave, titled, Octavarium. The first note of, Root of All Evil, is the final note of the last album, Train of Thought. And the beginning of Root of All Evil is the ending to, Octavarium. The song, Octavarium in the middle section towards the end, they give 7 references to the prior songs on that album until they reach the climax of the 8th octave. And finally, this song is about, the band not wanting to become like the other progressive metal/rock bands before them. Not getting in that groove of what it means to be your "everyday progressive band". But throughout the years, it inadvertently, ended up happening anyway. Ok, I'm done lol I loved your reaction!!!

[@Narpets2112]

I used to have a real problem with James LaBrie's voice (it sounded like he was being lazy and frequently half a tone off) but as I hear more Dream Theater (and Rush are no more), I am losing that reservation. This is an awesome song.

Dream Theater - Illumination Theory ( Live From The Boston Opera House )..Is another amazing, moving 20 min Masterpiece...with Choir, Orchestra and 5 distict parts....Awesome!

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Probably the coolest thing about Octavarium is how it fits within the album as a whole. It calls back on musical and lyrical themes detailed in previous songs (this is the last song on the album) and subtly revisits them. Also, the stream of consciousness section in the middle is chock full of song references to a lot of their favorite bands and they flow together almost like word association. Check out some of the information available about how the song and album is all tied together, it’s kinda mind blowing.

You'll like it no doubt! 😉

Imagine I’ve been a dream theatre fan for 15 years..and I always heard Octavarium but never had a proper listen until yesterday with another reaction ! 😂 (what kind of fan am I 😂) I’ve been years trying to see them live....and I managed finally to meet Jordan rudess keyboard player (my idol) 2 years ago, proudest moment , by the way loved the reaction, subscribed
