Came for the neal, stayed for the mike

The best part 00:00-7:54

[@orangeboiiiii]

i'm 14 and i'm having multiple eargasms right now with this song.

[@vaginepe]

this is the kind of challenge that Mike needs... he looks happy, really happy

[@andreagren123]

Youre totally right! im 17 and i wish more people in my age could listen to real music!

[@vladimirsandtner4438]

It´s YOUR mission to spread these gems in the midst of your generation :))

[@clockworkengine]

Neal is such a goofball. But he's the master. Plain and simple.

[@edwardx.winston5744]

Apparently God has not closed the valve on the Keystone-esque pipeline of hooky melodies that flows straight from glory to Neal's fevered brain, nor has Neal's love affair with prog abated in any measurable way. He is a one-man prog movement, a freight train with the throttle jammed wide open. An unstoppable force with lots of "momentum." Prog might be going the way of the dinosaur, but Morse and crew simply refuse to participate in the mass extinction. It's not just about chops, either. It's about passion, meaning, and transendence. 70's prog had a nobility, an idealism to it, guided to a great degree by the "flower child" Eastern philosophies of the day. Since then, prog lost its moral compass and degraded to math-rock chops-fests and nostalgia acts. Neal has seen fit to pluck the New Age heart from the genre and give it a transplant. A Christian heart now beats within the old girl, and she's better for it. The clear-eyed idealism and innocence are back, now infused with the Holy Ghost's power ever since Neal parted ways with the Beard. The old girl is looking better all the time now! Anyone who bristles at this shift should learn to be more tolerant of Morse's theological motivations. Those of us who are Christians and prog fans have had to stomach the hippie-trippy mysticism and paganism of prog's origins for decades. We got over it and still enjoyed the music. You will, too. Play on, Neal.

[@matiasrodrigocarrizo]

Inspiration right from the origin .... Up there :)

[@kevingomez8735]

Edward!!! Dude....... You are awesome........

[@robertbishop5357]

Edward X. Winston amen.

[@D.NogueraMusic]

4 years and still a valuable comment right here, specially the last paragraph. People live and judge under double standards. As for Neil, his music is getting better by the year.

[@Kleinsakkie]

Edward X. Winston Its 4 years ago but if you are still there - WELL SAID!! You have a very poetic way with words. Are you a journalist? Writer? Applause!

[@manifestgtr]

Portnoy must’ve been so stoked to play on a “thoughts” track. He’s enough of a music fan to know that’s significant

[@ScottAndersonYT]

Didn’t he play on the whole album?

[@mortyfingerboard]

I`m 17 and don`t listen to anything else than prog!! I justplayed this on drums today! so fucking awsome feeling to play Prog! PROG FOREVER - AMEN

[@NIcKIC4]

Dear Neal, thank you and your friends for making our life brighter.

[@ebealienhead]

Thank God for guys like Neal and Mike and all involved for making such amazing music. With all the crap that floods the airways its so refreshing to know these dudes walk the earth and carry the torch for progressive rock music! This CD is AMAZING front start to finish. Thanks guys!

[@bwhammm]

Wow - complexity, creativity, musicality, chops, and it really rocks. This is Neal Morse at the height of his brilliant powers. And not a bad supporting crew...!

[@melkatts]

I 'm caught somewhere between "DANG!" and "WOW!" "D-WOWG!" Mind blowing.

[@Tuurke01]

The vocal parts always remind me of Gentle Giant....excellent...

[@prezooom4307]

I'm having a YES experience !!!! And I know what ur saying they're all relative!

[@ekylee6557]

Prog-rock at its finest.

[@jps9508]

Eky Lee with MP 'drive' they play, sing, and ROCK

[@itamaravraham4068]

Neal has assembled such a great crew of musicians.

[@ALTARMETAL]

I have no words....ssssssssspectaular!!

[@Heptagen]

Neal, I recently wondered, if your best days are over now, but the more I listen to this the more I get the feeling, that you are only getting started... You are like a wine that gets better, the older it is. God bless you, Neal!

[@BELSEVUU]

Im an atheist... But god bless Neal Morse

[@Mamang_Funny]

U atheis but u pray for him ? Actually u admit that there is God. 😂😂😂

[@andyd.3701]

Amen!

[@Ppp_413.]

You don't believe in the existence of God but you know and feel the presence of God 😂

[@onceuponmusic]

Masterpiece

[@BotoLishUS]

Another masterpiece from Neal Morse... I literally woke up this morning unable to fully function until i heard this song all over again because the enchanting arrangement wouldn't leave my head

[@bwhammm]

I feel that...

[@WhaleBluePRS]

Found this through Randy George's Facebook timeline. I had to listen to it twice.... (Have my tickets for Morsefest 2016. To say I'm psyched is an understatement!)

[@JakeStaffin]

This is one of Neal's best songs. It's incredible.

[@mikeshelton3752]

I agree with Mike Portnoy, Neal's albums just keep getting better. Looking foreword to seeing the Momentum tour on Oct. 12. from "the Light" to this years "Flying Colors" & "Momentum" thank you for all the wonderful music. you are also a christian inspiration!
