Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany (Instrumental With Solos)

[@gabrielepirovano465]

what an incredible piece of music. The instrumental version enhances JR's epic work very well

[@celiaisabelmalaspina4794]

I once said that the lyrics of this song are a little silly (and I still think so), that LaBrie's interpretation is wonderful (and I still think so) and that the instrumental part is the glory itself (and I still think so).

[@Marifet124]

vocal melodies are mostly written by nonvocalists in band

[@SKDrumming]

Love it either with vocals or not .... they travel my spirit away from my body ....

[@user-jv7ir9ez2k]

the spirit carried on...

[@123trindade123]

Essa música é muito bonita. Essa introdução 0:00 até 3:02 parece levar o ouvinte para outra dimensão. Grande rock progressivo.

Several years ago In a foreign town Far away from home I met the Count of Tuscany A young eccentric man Bred from royal blood Took me for a ride Across the open countryside Get into my car Let's go for a drive Along the way I'll be your guide Just step inside Maybe you recall A cannibal curator A character inspired by my brother's life Winding through the hills The city far behind On and on we drove Down narrow streets and dusty roads At last we came upon A picturesque estate On sprawling emerald fields An ancient world of times gone by [Pre-Chorus] Let me introduce My brother A bearded gentleman Historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight No accident [Chorus] I want to stay alive Everything about this place Just doesn't feel right I I don't want to die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I want to say goodbye This could be the last time You see me alive I I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived [Verse 2] Would you like to see Our secret holy place? I come here late at night To pray to him by candle light Then peering through the glass I saw with disbelief Still dressed in royal clothes The saint behind the altar History recalls During times of war Legend has been traced Back inside these castle walls Where soldiers came to hide In barrels filled with wine Never to escape These tombs of oak are where they died [Pre-Chorus] Down the cellar stairs I disappear Like the English heir The end is near Come and have a taste A rare vintage All the finest wines Improve with age [Chorus] I want to stay alive Everything about this place Just doesn't feel right I I don't want to die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I want to say goodbye This could be the last time You see me alive I I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Could this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my side I don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understand Give me one more chance Let me please explain It's all been circumstance I'll tell you once again You took me for a ride Promising a vast adventure Next thing that I know I'm frightened for my life Now wait a minute man That's not how it is You must be confused That isn't who I am Please don't be afraid I would never try to hurt you This is how we live Strange although it seems Please try to forgive The chapel and the saint The soldiers and the wine The fables and the tales All handed down through time Of course you're free to go Go and tell the world my story Tell about my brother Tell them about me The Count of Tuscany

[@tirzabensel5794]

People give James shit but I enjoy the version with him singing . It is like having an additional instrument in the song.

JORDAN did a very very great job here

[@diversedesert5568]

2:36 gets me every time

[@Ventiglondalator]

I realize James gets a lot of shit, and I would be willing to defend his performances on a few albums, such as Awake, but this song in particular is WAY better as an instrumental.

[@zennyfrommoga]

Whole heartedly disagree

[@88omair]

This whole album is

[@MT-sk1ln]

I super wholeheartedly AGREE!!!!! Vocals sound forced on this one.

[@edge9380]

Metade da música é perfeita a outra metade é chata

[@gr8guitarplayer]

Ok guys, exactly where do you claim you left room in this song to put vocal melodies?

[@LMTR14]

wtf no train of thought?!

[@camilofalla6197]

Best LaBrie's interpretation.

[@DbladeMedic]

Hahahaha and lyrics on this instrumental are brought to you by: John Myung

[@pqt86]

Not on Spotify :(

[@shreddykrueger9465]

Honestly the vocals in this song never blew me away and are some of the more cringeworthy in the catalog. Makes you think about what version might sound like lyrically.

[@mirkecWii]

In the verst half they are like okay, but in the endung they are perfect imo
