This one is just beatiful.
It is not your ordinary Dream Theater piece. It's pure magic.
And it is even more moving when you are watching the whole show. Because it comes unexpectedly. It turns the tables. It brings the whole show to a different level.
The moment this piece starts, you shiver.
What you need to know:
- the guest gospel singer is Theresa Thomason. And she is amazing.
- the lyrics are amazing as well, when put into the context (remember, it's a concept album).
- some people dislike the Dream Theater singer. I personally believe he's not as exceptional as the rest of the band, but not too bad either. If you really hate him, however, I would like to share what N said on the matter: "True perfection has to be imperfect. Dream Theater's way of achieving true perfection is by having James LaBrie sing for them". But come on, he is fine.
