Vocal Coach Reacts -Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

Hi, please could you react to Rosalia? She is a very famous singer from Spain, she joins the trap, reggaeton and flamenco in the same song.

[@iDEATH]

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. :)

So, Geoff had bullied the songwriting into a large garbage patch. He even dictated an unfortunate sequel to Operation: Mindcrime. After another 6 years of really bad albums and some Tate Family skulduggery, the band chucked him out. His former son-in-law is now a guitarist and the new singer, Todd LaTorre, can sing all the things Tate no longer can. Queensryche’s last three Geoff-Tate-less albums are absolutely fantastic!

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".

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.

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 song is divine indeed...he sings it so beautifully! Touches my soul every time I hear it.

[@jcarroll135]

Wow what a pleasant surprise! This is one of my all time favorite songs Ever! Not many people remember these guys!

[@peggyl7565]

OMG I'm so glad you're reacting to this.. it's one of my favorite songs from the past!!

[@paulneville7154]

While having an incredible singing talent its his diction that always amazes me. Great post btw.

32 years later, I still get Goosebumps

[@emeraldcoastarcher]

It's always nice to see other people that appreciate Queensryche.

[@lisaroberts4391]

One of my favorite Queensrÿche songs! Beautifully written & of course Geoff Tate’s voice is incredible!

[@dirtpile]

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

[@nickmcclaine1642]

This song will always be a part of my life. it has pulled me out of a bad state of depression. I'm happy so many people can appreciate this song and the band that made it. Geoff never got enough credit for his powerhouse of a voice.

[@patrickjarvis6160]

My step daughter lost her Father at age 8. Her mom and I keep his love for her alive. I often send her this song. Saying Your Dad loves you! She gets it.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

WOW!!!!!! After hearing this song when it first came out back in the 90's. I NEVER had the pleasure of listening to the end of this song, until NOW!! Thank you for pointing that out!! I don't think I'll ever hear the song and the ending, the same way again!! WOW!! Great reaction to Geoff, at the very beginning!!

[@SDesWriter]

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.

[@NickKaye]

"oh Geoffrey" - ha - made me chuckle.

[@davidmorgan4202]

One of the best, but underrated bands every. They are in my top 10 for sure.

[@spellboundwebzine9687]

To me, his best performance is on "Someone Else", you would be amazed !

[@thenecrosanct4906]

Yes! I'd love to see Rebecca react to that song. It's one of my favorite Queensrÿche songs, even though it isn't Metal at all. Very poignant lyrics as well. For me, 'Promised Land' was their last great album.

[@ElitsidanElitTV]

Agree :) Epic!

[@SonicYouth-si8mn]

A-fuckin'-men

[@LBart218]

Just Geoff and a piano. Great stuff.

[@maxsambucca2502]

One of my all time Favorite songs , just Beautiful

[@bradmerilic6848]

This song came out like a week after my brother died, and this was one of his favorite bands. I still can't hear this song without balling. It breaks my heart every time because it always felt like this song was written just for my family. It helped us so much. Love and miss you, Jeff...every single day...

[@GregBird]

An amazing band...in so many ways. This song is still amazing after all these years, and I have probably heard it a thousand times.

[@irishinnish1]

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 :)

[@Mad9977]

great choice, one of the most amazing songs out there 😎👍

[@blgeiger71]

Definitely the most enchanting and soothing rock n roll ballad ever - orchestral...yes! Wonderful melodies, especially the strings mixed with the backing vocals.

[@jessiefrancis2396]

I remember in high school I was really into dream theater and me and my dad would listen to it together,and he was like.... “seriously listen to queensryche,vocallly you’ll love it!” Now I get it!

[@dannyjoe3343]

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.

[@jeffreyland8004]

I was immediately connected to this song when it first came out. I have always been a practioner of lucid dreaming

[@WayneBurton-yy2hv]

Geoff Tate and the rest of the band are very wonderful. Every album hides many surprises as far as their talents. Incredible lyrics, voice, and musicians. Every song is wonderful

[@shaneestes429]

IVe played this song for women and have never seen anyone enjoy it as much as you Rebecca. It makes me happy to see you love the song.

[@creepn750]

Always have been a fan of Queensryche..so many songs by them you could react to. London,jet city women,eyes of a stranger,queen of the ryche and I don't belive in love are just a few i would love to see you react to..keep up the good work

[@shilohstore6086]

If you were a Queensryche fan you were like upper echelon of being a music fan excellent excellent choice!

[@nels7347]

This man his voice is amazing and I cannot get enough of this song

[@lisa-shitsakwibjnie]

My all time favorite song is Anybody Listening by Queensryche. Geoff's voice is AMAZING. I don't know why they never became more famous than they was. They were so much better than most mainstream artist.
