100% some of their best work. Mike portnoys dad was dying from cancer so to say thank you, he wrote this masterpiece of a song.

[@andrewsitek190]

When people say Dream Theater or John Petrucci aren't melodic and just shred all the time, this is the song I point them to. The solo specifically is one of the best

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

People say that? Maybe their talking about their own band. Haha

[@andrewsitek190]

@@MusicWithToddLedbetter it's a common thing I've heard from people that heard a song or two and don't like the virtuosic playing. Usually they hear something crazy like dance of eternity and form that opinion

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

@@andrewsitek190 I know Andrew, it is so true. I was being a little sarcastic because your statement is true. I've seen it too. I choose not to be that way, but I can be sarcastic haha. Thanks for your input Andrew, I'm glad you're here.

[@petrucci973]

They’re clueless idiots and haven’t heard anything by petrucci or probably tone deaf. This solo in my opinion is the most beautiful thing ever played on the guitar. Man I hits me differently from the first time I heard it in 2010 and I still and probably forever give me goosebumps with a teary eye.

[@petrucci973]

Andrew, in my opinion the best of times solo is the most beautiful guitar solo to ever be written and played on the guitar. Gives me teary eyes and goosebumps every time I hear it.. jeez and it’s been over a decade since I first heard it.

[@rudycabriales2164]

Literally up there with the greatest guitar solos of all time.

[@maxmaidment96]

The perfect fade out to a guitar solo and song, where you hang on to every millisecond of sound left to come.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

So true!

[@KBH27]

Fleeting hands of time 😁

[@hugofonseca5320]

If im not mistaken, it was (by then), the only song with a fade out ending. And it was intentional, as tribute to Portnoys dad, and to what he meant to the band in their early days

[@bjorneidehall1117]

Thanks Todd, I agree. It’s like a classic piece, where you have the soft intro with piano, violin and string 🎸 Then you have the explosion, driving into a new soft period. When the song move into the crescendo and the song just explode into the mass of very professional music

[@allenhuling598]

The leaders in Prog Rock/Metal....superbly accomplished musicians! One of my favorite songs by them as well! BTW, I do appreciate the quality of your videos, very nicely shot, great sound!

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're here Allen.

[@chrisandrita2004]

Magnificent song ESPECIALLY that blazing guitar solo!!!!!

[@ChristopheFranchinicf4]

Suggest on the same album : a nightmare to remember, soooooo goooood !

[@davidamarat]

And maybe their heaviest song even a little more than any Train of Thought song

[@phredhenson9638]

I'm happy you got to check this out. I missed it when it happened and was psyched to see it

[@cleversonluizcorreiadesouz5959]

Thanks for this reaction, Todd! Cheers!

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Happy to do it, Thank you!

[@orphydianmusic9529]

This album had to have some of the most extremely melodic solos plus the audio mixing and production is gold. Anyway I would like to nagg you again with those obscure thrashers putting oriental vibes coming from Dt' Home reaction: Artillery - khomaniac 😁

[@cleversonluizcorreiadesouz5959]

Todd, I would like to suggest another DT song: Breaking All Illusions, the live version... Cheers!

[@mercerfrey9427]

Check out “Dream Theater - As I Am” already! Great reaction as always.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

@@mercerfrey9427 It was my favorite DT song so far. I really liked it and thank you for the suggestion. I may try a different version and see if that sticks. Thanks Mercer!

[@nedrini1387]

There isn’t a bad song on this album

[@fifi23o5]

¨Some say John Petrucci isn't capable of playing a soulful guitar solo.

[@petrucci973]

Liquid tension experiment - when the water breaks live in LA. Thank me later Todd.

[@phredhenson9638]

Bummer this album is all true stories. This is a tribute to his (john p) father dying when he was youngish. I have to go see if you have done The Count of Tuscany or A Nightmare to Remember now

[@waseemova]

This song has been written by Mike Portnoy and it is a tribute to his father Harold Portnoy who was very sick, and sadly died a few month's after Mike wrote this song for him , but fortunately he was able to sing it him before he died at his side bed, the two songs that John petrucci wrote about his father were Anthor day and take away my pain
