    Waking up in a hospital after a botched suicide I went home after a week of surgeries. This album was the first I listened to. Alone on the floor of my apartment this song dropped me to my knees. Realizing the life choices I had made to lead me to this dark place. This was 2012, I am now sober and a drug and alcohol counselor at a homeless shelter. Music is the most powerful force on Earth.

    I love Mike Portnoy and was sad to learn of his departure from DT. I wish him all the best....the man has a huge heart and is very generous live perfomer. He once handed me a drumstick at the end of a show only to have some a-hole snatch it, so Mike then hands me another one, makes sure I have it before letting go, I slid it down the front of my dress!!! I still have and covet that purple drumstick!! He is a sweetie!!!

    Back in 2009/10 (my memory is fuzzy on it for some reason), I went to a concert in Washington, Maryland with my best friend and his mom. We got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for five minutes at the time, and this lasted an hour. When we got there, we met John Myung in the lobby of the hotel as he was on his way out to a meet and greet at Ernie Ball Music Shop. We managed to get there and decided for shits and giggles, to enter the raffle for two extra tickets. One of us won (I think it was my best friend), and we got to meet John Petrucci and Myung again. We were in the documentary video for the meet and greet (which I'd be surprised if it still existed to this day lmao).
    I'll remember this for as long as I live. I'll never get another experience like this again, and I'm happy that the one who introduced me to DT, who is also my partner in crime for life, was there to experience it with me.

    Love this video. Another heart wrenching Dream Theater ballad. I listened to the Wither EP today. It includes three versions: this one, a Rudess/LaBrie duet, and demo with John Petrucci singing lead vocals. JP has a really nice voice, but listening to this brings into such sharp focus just how beautifully sweet, clear and strong James' voice is. It is easy to overlook how great of a front man he is with a band full of virtuosos backing him.

    In my opinion, I think this song is about how much pain and failure you can handle in life as you keep going back up. Basically it's vulnerability well handled over invulnerability well expressed. Let everything burn down as you start over and learn from previous mistakes. That's why this song is devastatingly sad but beautiful at the same time, like the keyboard and the guitar solo part.

    2024, Christmas season. I got laid off from a job I really enjoyed-writing about music. I wasn’t the greatest writer, but talking about music always made me feel excited and alive.
    Now I’m trying to figure out what’s next, and it feels a little overwhelming, especially now that I’m married. But this song reminded me to take a step back, let go of the worry, and just keep moving forward. I’ll see where things go from here.

    It's been over a decade since I first heard this song and it still brings a tear to my eye. Everything from the lyrics, general mood, imagery... Beyond that, the fact that the iteration of DT we see in this video was slowly heading in different directions from each other makes everything about this so bittersweet. They really captured a beautiful moment with this track. This whole album did. I'm happy they're all still doing what they love and thriving in it. They really deserve it.

    In general, this song tells about a person's helplessness in facing something that might make him have to try hard and fight for everything. But his efforts and hard work suddenly stopped because he failed to achieve it. If you look closely, the lyrics of this song actually reveal more about the story of the songwriter. Basically, there are three things that underlie me to conclude that there is a symbol of despair in this song, friends. The three things were: Surrender, Hope, and Sadness. These three things for me are global conditions that a person feels when he is desperate

    • @georges617
      @georges617 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think John Petrucci, the guitarist, stated that this song is about writer's block, the condition when a writer goes through a severe creative slowdown and feels unable to produce new material, even though he possesses the necessary writing skills.
      This manifests with ordinary humans too. How often do you know what you want to express, only to then suddenly feel like you cannot even string a sentence together to properly formulate it? The hesitation, the helplessness, the lack of self-confidence... I see all of these elements in the lyrics.
      But I really like your analysis too. Great metaphor about life struggles and about when nothing ever seems to go your way. You think that you can never really climb out of the hole you're in, so why even bother trying?
      Really nice song by Dream Theater and certainly one of my favourites.

Fora que Portnoy o que tem de talento tem de arrogância. Você vê nitidamente o peso que a banda tirou das costas. Acredito que é normal do ser humano imaginar como algo seria se tivesse acontecido de outro modo, mas isso não tem como prever, imagina você manter na sua banda um cara desiquilibrado e você acha ainda que a banda seria bem melhor tendo esse integrante? kk Acredito que não, então ao meu ver, DT nem existiria se Portnoy continuasse na banda.

A lot of them said that DT have a weird transition, messed up beats, and so hard to listen. But thats the important parts of progressive rock right? So now i believe, so many people love music, rock genre, but not everyone love progressive rock music. Not the band, just the genre. This song, another day, forsaken is easier to listen and maybe people out there will like them because of it 😂

    Let it out, let it out
    Feel the empty Space
    So insecure find the words and let it out
    Staring down, staring down
    Nothing comes to mind
    Find the place turn the water into wine
    But I feel I'm getting nowhere
    And I'll never see the end
    So I wither
    And render myself helpless
    I give in and everything is clear
    I breakdown
    And let the story guide me
    Turn it on
    Turn it on
    Let the feelings flow
    Close your eyes
    See the ones you used to know
    Open up open up
    Don't struggle to relate
    Lure it out
    Help the memory escape
    Still transparentness consumes me
    And I feel like giving up
    So I wither
    And render myself helpless
    I give in
    And everything is clear
    I breakdown
    And let the story guide me
    I wither
    And give myself away
    Light reflections on the cage
    The worlds want to create
    I drown in hesitation
    My words come crashing down
    And all my best creations
    Burning to the ground
    The thought of staring over
    Leaves me paralyzed
    Tear it out again
    Another one that got away
    I wither
    And render myself helpless
    I give in
    And everything is clear
    I wither
    And render myself helpless
    I give in
    And everything is clear
    I breakdown
    And let the story guide me
    I wither
    And give myself away
    Light reflections on the cage
    The worlds want to create
    The worlds which you create
    Let it out let it out 🤘

    A lot of people have come up with theories regarding what this song is really about, usually it being about depression or recovering from trauma. But in an interview, John Petrucci said he wrote this song about literally nothing after his wife jokingly suggested that he do so. So yeah, this song is about nothing and its still great.

      “Interesting change of pace” is an interesting way of describing this, since there are songs like this on just about every album. Not even remotely a change of pace.

      You just stupid. U really think Despacito is garbage and no thought was put into it? WRONG and Wither isn't a DT masterpiece either, is not even the best song in the Black Clouds album. Back to despacito, it's a musical market masterpiece, i dunno who composed it but goddamn he/she is a genius.

    I wish John Petrucci did an actual version of this song, he did a lead vocal demo if it and I can't stop listening to it. I love James Labrie's vocals too but he is more suited to loud, powerful songs whereas JP actually has a really nice soft voice suited to ballads like this. Wish he sang more lead vocals because I love his voice so much 😭
