Dream Theater - This is the life (lyrics)

[@magnojunior5262]

this song is a gift divine!

[@melomandrumspassion3959]

Yes it is my friend.

[@vsvicente]

It was supposed to be. Wasn't it ? lol

[@AriochStarr]

Dream Theater songs are so inspirational. The best song writers in the metal scene.

[@hangtuah4197]

john petrucci

[@AriochStarr]

A genius if I ever knew one. The band really does compliment him.

[@hangtuah4197]

+AriochStarr 👍

[@karikilstrom9257]

AriochStarr

[@Nonconform14]

Simply the best of all!

[@Mavenofspook]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[@jcmmanuel]

Right.

[@malcolmlindsay4379]

I should also say that, Musicality aside (as if), the choice of video content and editing is inspired and is so much more than a lyrical presentation. Jose has captured the mood and musicality of the composition and the resulting video belies an innate sense of timing and a feel for the subject matter which grafts sublimely onto the audio track. A masterly interpretation and more importantly, a fitting tribute to the band's musical presentation..

[@jflozanot]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@b1gnasty69]

I absolutely agree. I was traveling for work when I started listening to this album, so visiting new places, the views from the sky, etc. all heightened my enjoyment of this song at the time, and the video captures it perfectly.

[@josm6149]

It's hard to find diz kind f song nw adays.

[@itospuf]

Marvelous song. Petrucci's solo is absolutely wonderful and spectacular.

[@elbertvanderwaal]

Who else knows the lyrics by heart from listening to it so much?

[@seancurry8805]

dutchificationer I definitely do I sing it in my head from time to time it will be played at my funeral.

[@TDMarcelDT]

I just cried while watching this video...

[@FlaviaRavena]

Me too!! A lot . But of happiness ❤

[@rinnysunaryo5574]

Oh my God how I love this song with nature video, thank your for inspiring....

[@NikiWonoto26]

another beautiful & deeply meaningful song by Dream Theater . . .

[@melomandrumspassion3959]

Yes

[@crystalyork6545]

No, it's not deep, it's very cliche and simple. Take away the elementary singing and the song is okay. Not something to write home about. Very Very simple.

[@crystalyork6545]

Lyrically this song is not deep, and very simple. Beats aren't deep dum dum. Also, DURRR of course if you're a fan you're going to respect their music. That's like saying if you like soft serve ice cream you'll respect dairy queen. Please when trying to respond, try sounding intelligent. At least now I know why you think this song is deep. Quite possibly the 'stupidest' comment I've ever read.

[@istolethisaccount]

crystal york Jesus bro some songs have deep meanings to different people! Respect his (or her) interpretation of this song it isn’t your song that you wrote for yourself!

[@crystalyork6545]

You see here Rob, there is a serious problem in this world, that problem is that there are too many stupid people. If this song, which is about as deep as a mud puddle on the sidewalk is what you find to be deep. You are just part of the problem. People are consumed with themselves and only themselves, so much to the point that they view shit like this as deep. You know what's deep? Recognizing the turmoil the world is in and how we can alleviate the problems of the world. Not selfish meaningless garbage like the lyrics of this song. That's why I criticized this comment. Time to think outside the box people.

[@patlesage1256]

Divine song...Divine pictures....Dream Theatre show us that they are not without inspiration !....It seems that it's on the contrary !...and after 30 years of making awsome music they keep the best for these days...and maybe again later.....A band of genius....John is a wonderful melodist...since always but here it's awsome !....Sooooooo excelent !!!!!!

[@LuisGarcia-on6pq]

What can I say? The best band in the world, a lovely song and the most beautiful video in youtube history

[@HDHMD]

Ya había escuchado esta canción antes, pero con tu edición me has hecho llorar. Me tocaste el corazón. He estado atravesando una situación muy difícil en mi vida, pues tomé decisiones equivocadas y lo estoy pagando caro. Y como dice el tema, sí. Me he cuestionado toda la locura en la que me metí, deseé estar en lugar de otra persona, perdí el tiempo y sí, también quedé atrapado en el laberinto. Pero he vuelto a casa. El tiempo vuela y los recuerdos se desvanecerán. Y ésta es la única vida a la que pertenecemos, nuestro regalo divino. ¡Gracias por crear esto, hermano!

[@jflozanot]

HDHMD Gracias por tu comentario! Ánimo!!!

[@oglorioso73]

Força e garra... a vida tem dessas coisas, tenha fé!!!

[@diegoriquelme1136]

+HDHMD me ha pasado lo mismo hermano y leer tu comentario me identifico.. Sabes que? pongo mucho este tema.. Es hermoso..Y si la edición es muy bonita...Vamos que la vida es un regalo Divino !! Salú lml

[@atorres73]

Dear Jose Francisco, are these images of Antartica or Artic? Breathtaking. The images were painstakingly woven together

[@elmorph6]

IlI Animo hermano! Te mando un abrazo, dos años después!

[@TheJamesDHill]

Is there a better american rock band than Dream Theater? I don,t think so. They have it all. Great vocals, great songwriting and some of the best chops in all of music.

[@hangtuah4197]

no dream theater is not a rockband, it is Progressive Metal

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

James D Hill TOOL, but that’s about it.

[@ahmedsadman8412]

How divinely our life is explained by DT. long live DT

[@youidiotization]

Beautiful scenery for a beautiful song!

[@silviamakeupartist]

This video is something amazing....and this song of DREAM THEATER is perfect,wonderful, I can't describe how much I love it!!!! Wonderful wonderful wonderful video!!!

[@Solanacia]

When a musical artist makes similar sounding albums: "WHY DON'T YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENT?" When a musical artist makes different sounding albums: "WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS?"

[@tahakhalilbouterfess6500]

the most underrated song on the internet

[@DevineENTERventioN]

This may be the most beautiful song ever made. The lyrics are really good too. (The video doesn't hurt ether) Bravo Dream Theater!

[@jman40194]

honestly, when i listen to dream theater, i imagine vast landscapes of nature. specifically like im flying over huge mountains with shimmering white ice caps, against the crystal blue sky. idk why, but this video just materializes those visions. love it!

[@davidschonberger8609]

Can't listen to this without totally breaking down and crying. The video footage enhances the experience even more! Thank you for this, Jose!

[@alenorellana9764]

He pasado por esta cancion miles de veces pero cuando escuho esta edicion me dan ganas de vivir y llegar a todas las metas que tengo y vivir cada aventura que se ve en el video, gran video con gran cancion, sigue haciendo videos así y Dream Theater por siempre !!!! Saludos desde chile. Ya he puesto otros cometarios en el video pero me emociona tanto que coloco cada vez que lo veo...

Despite the fact that I dont be a videomaker or something look like this I think that this guy have made a absolutely perfect job!! I'm sure that professionals videomakers couldnt had make something better than this! Congratulations!

[@CorM1]

No Words … i am speechless.

[@tonloucam1]

Beautiful video. Well done. So many DT fans try to be overly clever with vision. This was saying more in it's simplicity. Thanks

[@MW-hm9ub]

The most beautiful song and video combination ever.

[@jflozanot]

Thank you! This song is amazing, and the people who shot the videos made an unbelievable work... but God is the greatest artist!

[@AmethystDreaming]

What an absolutely stunning video, Paradise in pictures and this has to be quite the finest song DT have ever released. Thank you for your work!

[@BunniesRBeautiful]

This is the life we belong to...Our gift divine!!

[@Nildawdjd]

Beautiful video and message. We discover our true identity in Christ. If we don't know who we are, you will get lost in the maze of life. We were given a true purpose in life, as it is our divine gift. We have Treasures in Jars of Clay! ~2 Corinthians 4:7-18~ Thank you for posting this beautiful video sis! God bless you and your family. Peace, blessings and love :) I love you in Jesus, your friend and sister in Christ, Nilda xx

[@xshark101]

Definitely in my top 3 of DT songs, just a beautiful song.

[@Toyotex]

Five Star's for the Vídeo !!! And 100 for the music....

[@ΕπαμεινωνδαςΤριανταφυλλου]

best song ever with an amazing solo.......!!!!

[@BTBAM819]

Petrucci's lyrics always seem to reach my heart... I love how Jordan and Petrucci wrote this song, maybe that's why I loved the so hated The Astonishing! DT manages to make simple and perhaps cheesy songs into beautiful pieces of music that fills the soul! DT is a gift divine indeed.

[@MrDasko66]

Amazing playing by Petrucci! Well done Jose Francisco!

[@athens09able]

...I have no words...one of the best....

[@timmiller1893]

Fantastic video. I'm bowled over by it!

[@dronedude_supakh]

[@mattharper69]

What do you get when you cross the most awesome song at the moment with equally awesome and spectacular footage…..this I'm blown away....floating with clouds, infact

[@MrJc9600]

I love Dream Theater!

[@mailek75]

Amazing video for this great song. Excellent work, Jose!

[@seancurry8805]

I told my family I want this song played at my funeral the song is so great that I think everyone should listen to this song at least once

[@jean-pierrebesson4922]

C'est tout simplement magnifique, musique exceptionnelle sur ces très belles images. Merci pour ce partage. Amicalement. JEAN-PIERRE.

[@nehakalbag]

WHAT A VIDEO! If someone gets to see even just 2 or 3 of the places shown in the video, their life has already been lived to the full.

[@janfranzen3124]

This is a wonderful hymn of the beauty of nature made visible in your great pictures and made hearable in a great song. Fine artsmade by nature, the Band and YOU, thanks!

Keep up the good work, Dream Theater all the way \m/ CHEERS

[@scottyj.2561]

DEFINITELY THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME! I don't care what anyone says. The video went with the song perfectly. It had a tremendous emotional impact on me.
