I totally agree about Operation MINDCRIME. Back when it first came out I wasn't much of a Queensryche fan as they were too...I don't know, 'cheesy' for my thrash and hardcore punk loving self. Operation MINDCRIME was one of those albums that transcended those narrow tastes of mine with how excellent it was. It definitely should be experienced in it's entirety the first time.

The song is about lucid dreaming...the ability to recognize that you are dreaming without waking, which then allows you to control your dream. In the song, he’s telling a (his perhaps?) child that he doesn’t need to fear his nightmares, and that behind his fears lies an amazing realm of magic and possibility. “Even in your dreams, I can love you, protect you, and care for you. Let me show you how...” From my own experience, I can assure you that lucid dreaming is real. It’s an extraordinary experience, and when you think about it, occurs only in an extremely unusual state of mind. Glad you enjoyed the song.! It’s one of my favorites. :)

After another 6 years of really bad albums and some Tate Family skulduggery, the band chucked him out.

It is assumed to be based on the subject of lucid dreaming. During the middle eight, a distorted voice even explains a method for this: "Visualize your dream. Record it in the present tense. Put it into a permanent form. If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control." [4] The song was recorded with sweeping orchestrations. Often the orchestra is not relegated to the background but instead is very prominent such as during the second half of the instrumental section (timestamp 3:16 - 3:51). At the end of the song (5:26), a cello or double bass plays the theme from the traditional Brahms' Lullaby - the typical English translation words being "Lullaby, and good night, go to sleep little baby".

I’ve actually done this. Of right before you go to bed and close your eyes, try to look down and visualize looking at your hands, any jewelry and wristbands you should pay close attention to their configuration. One time I thought I had my rings on and in the dream all i had was black rings over where my rings would have been but before I really wasn’t wearing any to bed and only thought it did they appeared “blacked out” I woke up and didn’t have them on after all. My brain made them up, and also mine always start off on a path with a brick wall with vines and draping leaves cascading for what seams like forever into the distance. Point is I can remember the dream when I wake up and if I stay lucid can go right back in where it left off after I’d awoken.

Not to get too corny..but.. This is one of my favorite songs ever. I just turned 51 years old so I can say that after having heard a few. It's been almost impossible for me to listen to it because of the lyrics for almost eight years now. My first granddaughter passed away from a birth defect, fifteen months after she was born. Watching this with you let me listen to it again without descending very deeply into sadness. Thank you for doing this video.

I remember when you listened too Take hold of the Flame.... Geoff is one of the best vocalists ever to live. And he will go down in history as such. Not just for his genre, but Vocalists in general. I'm so glad you heard this other side of his abilities. He still carries on to this day at 59 years old. love your channel. You are the real deal. \m/

In my humble opinion Geoff Tate had the most fantastic voice ever in rock. His range is astounding, his timber is absolutely beautiful, his enunciation is impecable, his transition between the ranges is so smooth and flawless, his power is incredible. Amazing. I never tire of hearing him.

Pamela Moore is an awesome addition to the song. Her and Geoff honed in their styles from none other, David Kyle. Both have great chemistry in this song and had literally given me shivers the first time I heard it. So much that I had to rewind the tape at least 15 to 20 times. Not only for the storyline, but the melody is so haunting that you can't just listen to it once and then off to the next song. It had me that hooked. Good song choice.

Rebecca, if you really want to go on a journey with Geoffrey's voice, please react to Suite Sister Mary. It basically has everything. If it disappoints you, dinner's on me 😊 btw, another wonderful.com reaction. Geoff is pretty unknown and underrated singer. A master of his instrument.

This album defined my senior year in high school. Got me through couple rough patches culminating in the live show in May of 1991 in Madison, WI where they filmed the show for Operation: Livecrime ... watch Suite Sister Mary from that show. Also, Michael Kamen wrote the orchestration for this. He also wrote orchestration for Metallica and the score for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

If you ever have 60-80 minutes to kill, the entire Operation Mindcrime album is just a masterpiece. It's probably the greatest theme album ever recorded with a very compelling story about political intrigue, drug addiction, murder and loss. It is astonishing on a musical level and the highs and lows from song to song (telling an amazing story) will leave you completely wrung out by the end. Better than most movies you'll see.

Ahhh….in my family, I'm the one who put my nephews and nieces down for the night because I was the only one who could get them to sleep. My secret was singing this song to them ;) A few useless facts about Geoff and this song: - When it first came out, people would call radio stations asking to hear the new Pink Floyd song, not knowing it (who) was Queensryche - Geoff, I'm sure someone has mentioned to you here at some point, was classically trained. Unfortunately, because he was (is?) a smoker, he's since lost much of that vocal magic - This video was nominated for 5 MTV VMA's in 1991. They lost 4 out of the 5 awards, but ironically the one award they DID win was the Viewer's Choice Award for Best Video - That night, they performed Silent Lucidity live for the first time with the actual orchestra who recorded the studio version. You can find the performance here on KZbin - Michael Kamen, who would go on to lead the National Philharmonic, conducted the orchestration for the album version of the song - The final cello notes that close out the song are actually taken from Brahms 'Lullaby' - Queensryche performed on MTV's Unplugged in 1992, and it was one of their best performances ever. They did 'Silent Lucidity' among others, but my favorite performance of the night was the stripped down acoustic version of 'The Killing Words.' If you ever want to hear a great example of Geoff's vocal range live, I HIGHLY recommend you look up this performance. They did 6 songs total, 5 making the final edit. The one that got cut was an interesting version of 'Scarborough Faire' LOVE your vids! Keep it up :)

If you like their ballads check out " I will remember" from the Rage for Order album. Was a camp counselor my senior year of H.S. for 3 days.....made my kids listen to it to fall asleep one night. They were snoozin' by the end of the song. Great song.
