The real sound of silence in the soul. A silent mountain, a silent man in the middle of nature. The echoes of existence resonating inwards, and the expression of quietness outwards to infinity. Expansion of the mind, exaltation of the soul, hammering a thousand triggers of tingling notes in astonishing fluidness until the storm ceases; blossom the peace and the joy from its own drowning, be the spirit free.
I just met Jordan (by sheer chance) Saturday 1-26-13 at The Buca De Bepo Italian restaurant in Anaheim, California. I saw him on a You Tube video with Meytal Cohen doing a rendition of "Moves Like Jagger". He was having dinner with friends. I took a chance and politely interrupted him to compliment him on his brilliant rendition of that song. I had no idea that he was with Dream Theater and I had no idea the amazing talent and legend that he is. I feel very honored and humbled to have met him.
My favorite part about this song is how the melody is played in the middle of the keyboard, and most of the harmony is up high. Not to mention the fast runs all the way up the keyboard, and the sixteenth note quad-octaves near the end. He really is a musician's musician.
At around 4:28 it's insane how this piece gets. It's like he is at the top of his ability as a musician and just playing as if there were no tomorrow. Like there's a sense of desperation to express himself as the end of life draws closer.
Você conseguiu expressar muito bem um sentimento que foi pronunciado por música, tocado em um instrumento... Voltei o vídeo várias vezes para apreciar o desenvolvimento daquela progressão. A incontestável técnica de Jordan quando se encontra com o sentimento gera pecas incríveis como essa. É muita música... muita musicalidade!
The entire piece is absolutely amazing but my god the chords from 5:38-end are mind boggling. It almost made me cry. truly amazing. Ruddess does it again.
No thank you for posting this! i'm a drummer, and I proudly say Mr Rudess got me in keyboard! He is my all time favorite! Idk where I would be if I had never of known the amazingness of Dream theater!
I dont know THIS man. But shure he has talent! I think WITH some years lesson and serious doing his things at home...there might be a future in a band for partys like weddings. 😃😁😝 There is a option for a party in my garden🥳
Thanks to many musicians that play notes written by other you can listen Bach, Beethoven, Satie, Mozart, Brahms... a lot of composers, thanks to them that music is still alive.
That two part melody thing @ 4:58 still impresses the shit out of me. I always have to go back to listen to both hands individually to appreciate it thoroughly.
It is a note that does not belong to the scale but has an uncommon harmony with the rest of the notes, listen to it a couple of times and youll find out the note is actually no as off as you think
"Who cares who's better", Marie I agree with you. My comments were simply directed to 22prosinger who said that JR was the greatest keyboardist of all time. He is not. But he is damn good!!!
as much as I respect Jordan and love his work solo and in dream theater, I can't help to wonder if he understands the power of silence and simplicity. Sometime I feel that there is too much going on for me to be moved by the beautiful chord progression and too few themes that I will remember
Well, thats the choice every musician has to make. Most of the time, when a melody is catchy, it loses more and more of it's value the longer you listen to it, while having a complex melody allows you to find more and more things you can appreciate if you overcome the first barrier
That's what I want to be when I grow up.
A pianist? No. I wan't to be the guy that picks up the books Rudess throws.
LOL ! Good one. ;-)

Sounds like you have found the eternal emptiness
Totally awesome!
music snobs that dont appreciate the beauty fail to understand music itself. this is music that he feels when he play, it is so raw, and so beautiful,
I love how he plays the piano while humming what it could be a "violin section" of the song.. Jordan is a genius

Absolutely majestic. Bravo!!!
I got to meet Jordan in 2009, one of the coolest people I've ever talked to. Much respect for JR!
You were, are, and will always be my most fave pianist in the world. You are the best !
Got so many inspirations from your plays..
2021 and i still excited to hear this song
This is probably the most gut-wrenchingly beautiful piano solo I've ever heard.
+FlyingPiper13 Then youre pretty ignorant on piano literature.
Leslie Cruz can you please stop with the dumbass comments?

Thnk you Jordan Rudess, thanks for the beautiful minutes we give.

Jordan Rudess is my only idol ! I've always knew he was a good person. I can't believe how he could throw a book on stage !
It is indescribable how I feel hearing this piece
I don't even know what to say about this. You just have to look at his face, that's inspiration. That's music.
No thank you for posting this! i'm a drummer, and I proudly say Mr Rudess got me in keyboard! He is my all time favorite! Idk where I would be if I had never of known the amazingness of Dream theater!

Being simple is good sometimes but talented is a life long job and its jazz that's it!!
It seems someone accidently clicked the wrong button... How can't you like this?? JR is a god...
I dont know THIS man.

I think WITH some years lesson and serious doing his things at home...there might be a future in a band for partys like weddings.

How Could a man born to be like ya...........
Inspired of you
Jordan rudess is GOD !
Holy F__K You don't even know! You have met the best keyboardist ever! Jordan is the Wizard of the keyz

Sing while playing, very clever. Thank you for that, I might try it for some complex parts.
Most awesome human with "Jordan" in his name. Yeah, you know who else that includes.
Jordan very good
BUENISIMO¡¡¡¡
Deep and intimate
Congratulations!!!!!! Do you have more videos from this show?
Is it only me, or can you hear him hum?
Yup, he does that, you can hear it on some gear presentations
A lot of the greats , if not all do it , Oscar , Keith Jarrett , Hiromi , for some reason this is a common trait . Great topic for neuroscience .
5:00 is still the most amazing thing about this thing. Dat hand independence
Eres el mejor
Una verdadera "fría máquina de hacer música". Extraordinaria habilidad, a la que le falta el más importante de todos los ingredientes: corazón.
Bello tema. Con luces de Somewhere in time de Paganini.
That note was very important for the emotional direction of the song.
Nice And Sad
did you guys hear him humm along with the tunes? fascinating talent. :)
@Semihabanoz Thanx for this video, it's brilliant!

Could be.
I still appreciate Kevin Moore's stuff a bit more, it's simpler but I never grow tired of it.
I also like Kevin Moore very much, I consider Space-dye Vest one of DTs best songs. It probably depends on your current mood tho
MossadAgent100 exactly
@nickman287 yea he composed Silent Mountain, this was a bit different in some parts because he just did it by memory and vhanged what he wanted.
This man is God!
