I did a project about dream theater for my senior year music theory class. We had to pick musical influencers and make a video about them. The last like 7 minutes or so (the whole thing was 15-20) was about this song. I put clips in, and talked about how filled to the brim with secrets it was. My teacher listened to the full song and said it was one of the most complex and interesting pieces of music he ever heard.

I think octavarium is one of the best DT songs....

​@@SirPraiseSun Yep. For many years full circle was my favorite but now razors edge and Petrucci's solo takes me to whole another world every single time, not to mention Jordan's orchestration in the background.

20:04 That riff is absolutely insane!

They are Great artists who gives us Great stories. Nothing has give me feelings and wisdom with words and sound like this Great Boys.🙏

Whilst personal opinion doesn't matter much in terms of ranking things given how everyone has their tastes, I can't help but say this is probably one of the best works of music ever written.

For me Octo, Tuscany and ACOS. I decided not to try to rank these any more. My favorite songs ever.

Dream Theater at its finest.

Intro had me in a Floyd memory...This is a compliment....No better influence....You guys ROCK!!!

I can’t describe what genre this music is. It’s just gods music and transports me to a different planet when ever I hear this song

GREATEST DT song according to me... songwriting is something else, so mature, building of the song is very gradual and every second is worthy...and that final solo... Octavarium is a modern transposition of '70s prog rock and it not disfigure beside the classical masterpieces of the genre.

Not gonna lie, that 7 minute intro is waaay to long. Should have been 2 minutes tops. But then again, that's DT so I don't know what I expected.

I discovered Dream Theater more than 20 years ago, I listened to them quite compulsively at some time, and I think they keep on surprising me all the time, discovering new details on songs, appreciating their creativity, enjoying the feelings they can transmit, getting you to just blow your mind. And this happens to me like in a circle, like in an Octavarium

I never watch this before.... and I am speechless Just Say The greatest Ever

its sooooo amazing. i have tears in my eyes

It's a Great opera .....fantastic....wonderfool

I never wanted to become someone like him So secure content to live each day just like the last I was sure I knew that this was not for me And I wanted so much more Far beyond what I could see So I swore that I'd Never be someone like him So many years have passed Since I proclaimed my independence My mission My aim And my vision So secure content to live each day like it's my last It's wonderful to know that I could be Something more than what I dreamed Far beyond what I could see Still I swear that I'm Missing out this time As far as I could tell There's nothing more I need But still I ask myself Could this be everything? Then all I swore That I would never be was now So suddenly The only thing I wanted To become To be someone just like him A doctor sitting next to me He asks me how I feel Not sure I understand his questioning He says I've been away a while But thinks he has cured me From a state of catatonic sleep For 30 years where have I been Eyes open but not getting through to me Medicate me, infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me, science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening A higher dosage he prescribes But there's no guarantee I feel it starting to take over me I tell him not to be ashamed There's no one who's to blame A second shot, a brief awakening I feel the relapse, can't break free Eyes open but not getting through to me Medicate me, infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me, science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening? Sailing on the seven, seize the day, tripper diem's ready Jack the ripper, Owens Wilson, Phillips and my supper's ready Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here, I come to save the day for nightmare Cinema show me the way to get back home again Spinning round and round (Looking outward, reaching in) Scream without a sound (Leaning over, crawling up) Stumbling all around (Losing my place only to) Find I've come full circle Flying off the handle With careful with that axe Eugene gene the dance machine Messiah light my fire gabba gabba Hey hey, my my generation's home again Spinning round and round (Looking outward, reaching in) Scream without a sound (Leaning over, crawling up) Stumbling all around (Losing my place only to) Find I've come full circle Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath Remove all obstacles from our path Asking questions, search for clues The answer's been right in front of you Try to break through, long to connect Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath Loyalty, trust, faith and desire Carries love through each darkest fire Tortured insanity, a smothering hell Try to escape but to no avail The calls of admirers who claim they adore Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more Innocent victims of merciless crimes Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs Step after step we try controlling our fate When we finally start living it's become too late Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium We move in circles Balanced all the while On a gleaming razor's edge A perfect sphere Colliding with our fate This story ends where it began

The composition of the song is amazing.

Absolutely love the beginning

Hermosas notas, que talento!!

Wow......What a GREAT Band!

Beautifully & brilliantly done

The people who disliked... Their intellect can't take in good music for 26 minutes.

Impresionantes !!! Como siempre !! Bravooooo !!!

If that ending vibrato from Petrucci doesn't give you goosebumps, I don't know what will

Masterpiece of all masterpieces!

Obra prima, realmente incomparável. Será eternizada. 🇧🇷

Just a perfect song

What a masterpiece

Legend band 😍😍😍

Just one word: great

No words about this jewel

Song: is 4,5 hours long Prog rock fans: This is a masterpiece, I listen to this 10 times a day

Never noticed LaBrie sustaining the chords for Rudess.

12:18 John Myung is so cool :)

Kudos to the madlad gigachad who is putting the lyrics into these live recordings. Thanks man!

10:07 I’m sorry but I can’t help but hear bohemian rhapsody every time

I just proved it's totally possible to dance to DT, with this song..... Totally spontaneous, and I haven't danced in years. God that felt so good. The right place, the right time, and THE RIGHT MUSIC!
