When James vocals are working well, he's capable of delivering some extraordinarily moving and soulful performances. His vocals here are fantastic and on the studio version of course, just stunning. One of my favourite vocal performances by LaBrie is actually years ago on the 2000 live DVD of "Metropolis 2000", specifically on "A Change of Seasons".
I think he does really well with soft and moving vocals like the ones present in this song. I think he has issues when he gets loud and high in his vocal range. He hurt is voice pretty bad early on in their career by both using some unhealthy techniques and also I believe he got sick at one point and kept singing against his doctor's wishes when he was supposed to be on vocal rest. He's never sounded quite the same since.
My father died 5 years ago, and this was one of his favorite songs. Great performance. If he was alive, he'd enjoy it a lot. This way I carry the torch, and you guys definitely nailed it. Best regards from Croatia ❤️
"I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal" Those lyrics strike particular close to my heart. I tear up every time I hear them. Its unrequited love.
This song is special to me, I tried to bury a person who was very important to me, she tries to recover our relationship but I refuse trying to avoid the pain, 2 months had passed and I still miss her. a few weeks ago I listen this song and I understand, I was wrong. Today I'm recovering a relationship with a girl who is very important to me. Thank you so much dream theater.
I went through the same experience. The girl I love broke my heart, and we were not talking for about 2 weeks.. she were trying to recover our relationship, and I'm also refused. But I'm trying to open a new page of my life and forgive her of what she did to me. We're now rebuilding our relationship as a friend, a good friend. I guess that being a friend and forgetting what has happened makes us stronger to see what lies ahead.
Anyone who thinks A Dramatic Turn of Events is boring must have been dropped as a kid. This song is utterly gorgeous and stands proudly in the same league with material from Images and Words, Awake and SDOIT.
This band touches my soul every single time i hear them live. James Labrie is an amazing Tenor, saw them live twice, what an experience my Friends !!!!!
el mejor grupo en la historia de la música. Lo más cercano a la clásica que ha dado el siglo pasado. Dream Theater no dejéis de hacernos volar con vuestro arte sin parangón
Saw this live with my wife on the DTOE Tour. Always loved this song but never knew why. My wife left me over a month ago because my issues were destroying our life together. I now hear this and can't help but hear my wife's voice in James' voice singing to me. I want to do anything to fix our relationship and live out a happy life. Perhaps one of the most gut wrenching DT songs ever...
LIRIK Is there ever really a right time You had led me to believe Someday you'd be there for me When the stars above aligned When you weren't so consumed I kept looking for the clues So I waited in the shadows of my heart And still the time was never right Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface A shell of what things could have been Tired bones beneath a veil Of guarded secrets all too frail Sad to think I never knew You were searching for the words For the moment to emerge Yet the moment never came You couldn't risk my fragile frame Until one day you stopped caring And began to forget why you tried to be so close And you disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface
I can't really understand (and maybe it's my fault) critics about newest DT (after Portnoy) being sellouts or doing predictable commercial songs. This is nothing of that. A band can't be making concept albums and psychological songs all their career. A differently spiritual song with music and voice at these levels, to me, is a masterpiece as well. I personally never thought that a song is good ONLY if it's 8+ minutes, or if it's part of a big ensemble, or if it necessairly has jazz elements.
Supongo que todos los integrantes de este cuarteto de cuerdas lo serán, pero seguro sé que el de barba es primer violinista de la Orquesta de Cámara del Teatro Colón. Tuve la suerte de ver un concierto gratuito la semana pasada y cuando lo vi aparecer en el escenario no lo podía creer. Lo que vimos en el Luna Park no tiene ni comparación con lo que toca este hombre. Es maravilloso.
Best album they've done since the early days of Images and Words, Awake, and Falling into Infinity...not that the other ones are bad at all. They are all amazing. But this song and this album caught that deep magic again. I hear so many iconic bands from the past in their songs(kansas, Metallica, pink floyd, Yes, Rush, queensryche, etc)....truly they are one of the best bands ever.
"Existe realmente uma hora certa? Você me levou a acreditar que algum dia você estaria lá por mim. Quando as estrelas lá em cima se alinhavam, quando você não estava tão consumido... Eu ficava procurando pistas. Então eu esperei nas sombras do meu coração e ainda assim o momento nunca era o certo. Até que um dia eu parei de me importar. E comecei a esquecer porque eu procurava ficar tão perto. E eu desapareci na escuridão. E a escuridão se tornou dor. E nunca foi embora. Até que tudo o que sobrou ficou enterrado abaixo da superfície." :/
I can't believe I never listened to this group till now...heard of them but never really took the time.. Amazing...i had to sit down when I first heard this song...then played it 25 times.....phenominal talent
melhor banda de metal progressivo e umas da melhores bandas do mundo ou uma banda superior a muitas por fazer o que a maioria nao faz como perfeita musica !
Bellisima interpretacion, y agradecimientos a Luis Gorelik por los arreglos para cuerdas, esto habla a las claras de una interpretacion amplia de la musica
ainda existe usicos que se preucupam primeiro em fazer boa musica e depois ficar famoso, acompanho ha muito tempo o DT e eles continuam me surpreendendo
Alone. World shut out. Headphones. This song. I'm closer to Heaven.
Cant be more accurate
I just cried for this song and now for your comment... wonderful description, I'm totally agree. I send you a big hug. ^_^
Alone. World shut out. Headphones. 2 previous songs. I'm Far From Heaven.
I will play it again with headphones 😊.
Good idea.
Really absolutely the same for me 😢.
And people say James can't sing. Very very moving vocals
When James vocals are working well, he's capable of delivering some extraordinarily moving and soulful performances. His vocals here are fantastic and on the studio version of course, just stunning. One of my favourite vocal performances by LaBrie is actually years ago on the 2000 live DVD of "Metropolis 2000", specifically on "A Change of Seasons".

He's never sounded quite the same since.
He is an incredible performer
He’s a terrible frontman. Some of his singing is now so bad that it is embarrassing and so sad to see his decline.
This is my favourite James live performance, what a touching song
My favorite DT ballad. A Dramatic Turn Of Events is a masterpiece in my opinion.
+1. Great stuff, underrated by some "true fans". This song is as great as "Silent Man", the same feeling.
4 years too late but for sure! A Dramatic Turn Of Events, SFAM and Images and Words are my favorite albums!
@@hypemall got the luna blu ray! And indeed silent man is a great song, but lyrically i feel beneath the surface is better!
@@webjrnstennes3895 please don't forget Awake
I love every song from ADTOE
4:25 - 4:58 : that's a powerful voice right there
Exactly hes has gotten his voice back the last two tours ive seen them he has been fantastic
Gave me goosebumps. Such an amazing song.
Dream theater is a prove that Metal band can also makes someone cry
i think metal bands actually made some of the best emotional and melodic riffs and solos
My father died 5 years ago, and this was one of his favorite songs. Great performance. If he was alive, he'd enjoy it a lot. This way I carry the torch, and you guys definitely nailed it. Best regards from Croatia ❤️
When it got to this song, I'm not ashamed to say I cried. It was so beautifully done and James showed his range as a vocalist.
"I would scream just to be heard
As if yelling at the stars
I was bleeding just to feel
You would never say a word
Kept me reaching in the dark
Always something to conceal"
Those lyrics strike particular close to my heart. I tear up every time I hear them. Its unrequited love.
I cried just reading them
when i heard this song for the first time i had to stop what i was doing and take a deep breather...
+liza rai keep breathing sugar...
oh !,!!! a nepalese girl listening to dream theater !!!!!! surprised me !!!!! you'r in the right section of music !!!
This song is special to me, I tried to bury a person who was very important to me, she tries to recover our relationship but I refuse trying to avoid the pain, 2 months had passed and I still miss her. a few weeks ago I listen this song and I understand, I was wrong. Today I'm recovering a relationship with a girl who is very important to me.
Thank you so much dream theater.
You tried to bury her? Did you kill her or? ;)
Very well said Riccardo :))
my dream song
im on that position today, but she doesnt want to recover our relationship, but this song is still great
I went through the same experience. The girl I love broke my heart, and we were not talking for about 2 weeks.. she were trying to recover our relationship, and I'm also refused. But I'm trying to open a new page of my life and forgive her of what she did to me. We're now rebuilding our relationship as a friend, a good friend. I guess that being a friend and forgetting what has happened makes us stronger to see what lies ahead.
Acoustic Petrucci...breathless.
4:25 holy fuck LaBrie
really ? sounds horrible.
+Joshua Stam how. It gives me goosebumps he sounds amazing
honestly for labrie's live standard, this is amazing
4:25 That was just messed up amazing!
LaBrie is absolutely over the top! Killer!!!
For sure
I think this version is better than the one on the album, the section where LaBrie belts it, it just sounds much more sincere here. Love it.
Damn, the ending was really so powerful , Labrie's voice still rocks :)
LaBries voice will always rock my friend :)
+Fanis H LaBrie will always be cheesy, because he is LaBRIE :-)
+Sam Philips thanks for the dumb comment.
+Berk Uzdoğan ok
4:25 that was freaking killer
DreamTheater is a complete band! Awesome musicians with incredible technique and feeling.
Carlos H. Cantu - don't forget the message in their songs... speaks to ones soul,
watching on utube but still buy the DVD, DT's Fan should do this
better yet, bluray! the quality of this one is sooo good!
Gracias una vez mas, por acompañarme en alegrías y penurias... Son mucho en mi vida, los adoro Dream Theater
Anyone who thinks A Dramatic Turn of Events is boring must have been dropped as a kid. This song is utterly gorgeous and stands proudly in the same league with material from Images and Words, Awake and SDOIT.
This band touches my soul every single time i hear them live.
James Labrie is an amazing Tenor, saw them live twice, what an experience my Friends !!!!!
wow just amazing at the end for mr jabrie he is my true inspiration and gets me through the bad days in my life
So amazed that the part of the song, 4:26 and beyond, was perfectly sang by James.
Buy the DVD folks!
I have dvd...
I am helping people who have no access
;)
Praise the lord, LaBrie actually sounded good in his upper register here.
Rudess was awesome
Was? King Wizard Rudess!
el mejor grupo en la historia de la música. Lo más cercano a la clásica que ha dado el siglo pasado. Dream Theater no dejéis de hacernos volar con vuestro arte sin parangón

how does James.not cry when singing this?? so beautiful
This song makes me cry every time 😥 Thank dream theater. They saved my life.
Fucking beautiful, well done
LIRIK
Is there ever really a right time
You had led me to believe
Someday you'd be there for me
When the stars above aligned
When you weren't so consumed
I kept looking for the clues
So I waited in the shadows of my heart
And still the time was never right
Until one day I stopped caring
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
And I disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turned to pain
And never went away
Until all that remained
Was buried deep beneath the surface
A shell of what things could have been
Tired bones beneath a veil
Of guarded secrets all too frail
Sad to think I never knew
You were searching for the words
For the moment to emerge
Yet the moment never came
You couldn't risk my fragile frame
Until one day you stopped caring
And began to forget why you tried to be so close
And you disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turned to pain
And never went away
Until all that remained
Was buried deep beneath the surface
I would scream just to be heard
As if yelling at the stars
I was bleeding just to feel
You would never say a word
Kept me reaching in the dark
Always something to conceal
Until one day I stopped caring
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
And I disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turned to pain
And never went away
Until all that remained
Was buried deep beneath the surface
Semua lagu yang di buat"prof. DREAM THEATER" itu sungguh luar biasa ,termasuk yang satu ini. 👌
