He originally wanted a five year break, and the band refused. According to some sources, he shortened the break to one year. The band still refused. That's when he left the band. Then the auditions passed and Mike Mangini came in. After MM was inducted into the band, MP wanted to come back in, but the band's lawyer had said no. They had moved on without him. I respect both MP's and DT's choices, and wish them success in their careers.
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
I have never imagined Labrie could sing like he had done on cd. I realize I need to change myself and say thank you to DT than I could share the very good time at Summer Sonic
This performance is so godly I can't stop watching it and I didn't even care for the studio version to be honest. But this is amazing. Makes tge song 10x better.
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
every time I hear this song really breaks my heart. especially the way musically dream theater has taken in the last three albums . I feel like crying. like as if a beloved family had disintegrated. for real.
***** yeah completely. the reason why i think what i think about portnoy is because he wasn't just the drummer, he helped write most of the songs and it was his input in that area that really made them what they were. I can still listen to them it just doesn't sound like dream theater as much anymore, if petrucci left, even if portnoy was still in the band then it wouldn't be dream theater
+IbanezjemJSX he was kicked for being a major asshole. He thought that because he was in dt he has the right to be a complete dick thats why everyone in dt agreed to kick him out.
IbanezjemJSX to me if either Petrucci and Rudess left now, Dream Theater should just stop. They're what keeps the band as dream theater. I mean we can't say everyone in the band isn't an element to how they sound. Same applies to Labrie and Myung. It's sad Portnoy had to leave and it's sad many things happened later on between them. But they have to go on. Not as 100% dream theater, it still feels like, but a new sound.
@jikarpert Autotuners correct pitch in the voice, any off key notes will be rounded up or down to the nearest semitone, thus making the singer sound it tune. The part at 1:58 sounded too artificial to be a normal pitch bend. Again, to avoid flaming, I absoloutely love DT, they're probably my favourite band. This is just obvious autotuning.
I fucking love John's vocal harmonies.
i heard dream theater for the first time when i was 18 . now i´m 43. maybe thats why they means a lot for me. to many memories with their songs.
Thank god I’ve heard of them just now at 13
I've heard them the first tim when I was 5
Now I'm 14 and I want to see them live
Me to sir .. Their song is meaningful
@@limnem7864 same
Very similar for me, 1999 (I was 16 years), DT is imprinted in my brain ❤
3:48 this part... This solo... Amazing and beautiful. This and forsaken are my favorites emotional songs. Crying
Petrucci's voice sounded so perfect :')
always dude..he is master

@mrsnippy07we move in circles dude
@@samuelnissim2371balancing all the while, on a gleaming razor's edge, man!
@@TheDarkEternalKnight07 yoo you're in the dt subreddit right?
@@samuelnissim2371 yeah! Same name, same profile picture!
The way that John sings is very emotional.
Labrie's performance is good on this one . . . . . .
John's vocals are really on point
3:11 that drumming
That formation is very perfect!
its pretty cool. everyone still love uncle MP
When John P hits that first note of the guitar solo, the feel is real.
3:15 is the best back vocal !
3:03 OH JORDAN IS FEELING IT YEAH
portnoy never change in my heart, you still the best DT drummer
3:59 holy shit moment
I miss the real Dream Theater
Yesss!!! Look at the drummer man
@@MrBamcitomy man they are back
😅😂😂😂
People do not give Jordan Rudess enough credit. He is a great keyboard player!
What? I Haven't heard anyone talking bad about him.
Of cause, it’s great 👍
HE IS the Keyboard player
Lol huh he's basically the best ever.
He is probably the best i have ever seen
LaBrie and Petrucci's voice is EFFING awesome!
The spirit carries on!
The legacy will carry on!
DT in our hearts forever!
one of the most beautiful songs from DT
Perfect live perfomance!
This song kicks ass.
How the hell did the song wither not become at least a top 10 hit, in the USA?? I think we all know the answer to that. Such an amazing song
I Miss The Heart of Dream Theater.. The late great Mike Portnoy.
He left the band 🤷♂️
@@talobassprog yes, the heart and soul left the band
He just left he didnt die haha
To be honest and this is Petrucci speaking his replacement Mike is as good but adds something extra
Mike Portnoy isn't dead mate 😂
John Petrucci nails all the harmonies too! Nice to see :)
it's so beautiful see how inspired it's petrucci playing his song, the vocals and guitar as well
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
✌️
😮
This song should I listen to every day ....
Heard this song before. Did not know it was theirs. Wow its amazing
Me too. Lol XD
Mangini is definitely amazing, but he will never replace portnoy to many of us. No one but Mike Portnoy really belongs behind the DT drum set!
Boy do I have good news for you!
And now, Portnoy is back. Life is good.
Protony touch is amazing
protony 😂
🤣🤣
Dear Sunepba, it's portnoy not protony.
God they were fantastic back then...
Excelente cancion por Dream Theater!! Mike Portnoy el mejor sin duda James Labrie otro cantante como tu jamas!
Best vocals ever
John’s back vocals are so great because he wrote the whole song 🙂🙂🤟🏻🤟🏻
I have never imagined Labrie could sing like he had done on cd. I realize I need to change myself and say thank you to DT than I could share the very good time at Summer Sonic
Sobat ambyar mana suaranya
King mister Portnoy Spirit of Dream Theater forever
i love this song especially the keybord
Damn, that snare drum!
ゲンキーデスカァートウキョー！！
This performance is so godly I can't stop watching it and I didn't even care for the studio version to be honest. But this is amazing. Makes tge song 10x better.

tchuthcu biru, fuckin' impossible!
I always get chills when I hear this song
every time I hear this song really breaks my heart. especially the way musically dream theater has taken in the last three albums . I feel like crying. like as if a beloved family had disintegrated. for real.
James labrie is a fking GOD
Wonderful work
uma das melhores musicas !
I Guess this was Portnoy's Final Performance with DT. 😫
Sound drum is greats amazing
One of video i've been looking for, thanks a lot👏🏻
I know there are more than one, we could mention many songs...but for me "Wither" is among those songs that really move.. keep prog..
THIS IS DREAM THEATER....
NO NOW....
This song has specifix feeling.
i fucking love mangini, but portony IS dream theater. when he left, he took certain elements with him that cannot be replaced
*****

Very true. I think Portnoy helped with song arrangements as well
Portnoy is the Productor od DT.. idiot..
HE'S A LEGEND !
Amazing 👍👍👍
One of their "popiest" songs, but I love it
Mike Protony and Jumper Truji ❤️
good music
Labrie is astonishing.
the though of dream theater without mike lives me paralized. but I must admit that mangini is really good :)
0 Dislikes ! THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE !
This is a song that really touches my heart, hope they play it live at Night of the Prog 2011! So vulnerable. So beautiful.
La mejor banda del mundo.......
The world's what you create.
Wow what a song!!!!!!
Only just got into DT and I really regret that! Seeing them live in July in London and cannot wait
Very cool !!!
2:01 HALP THA MAMARIE ESCEYPE! gotta love La'Brie!
Easily the best live version of this out there.
No. Portnoy has overdone the drumming. Too much drumming for a ballad.
@@AvinashPandeyMusic its amazing, so much attitude
@@dissonantharmonic hey, thank you for letting me know! I was not aware! :)
@@dissonantharmonicNo, that’s “The Best of Times”. This song is about writer’s block, and Petruccci wrote the lyrics.
Lagu yang bikin saya dengerin dream theater.
as much as Mangini is technically a marvel, he doesn't have the "touch" that Portnoy does...
No matter how good is how great is portnoy he has leave the band
Jeezzzzzzz
@Wednesday i think you forgot what prog metal its all about dude.........
Yess,Dream Theater is Portnoy
Good.song hearing
We'll miss U Mike :')
Excelente vídeo. Muito bonito essa música *-*
Sonido en vivo hermoso potente nitido
Wow! So good
Petrucci rules . Very awesome guitarrist .
this song is just amazing, one of the best songs i've heard

Gua juga

Grande voce, John Petrucci attualmente il piu' Grande di tutti
i miss u portnoy
@StevieVaibanez LaBrie stated on his own forum that autotune was not used. I think it's just the tone of his voice.
I give in and everything is clear..
Please come back mike 😭
i wish i could see them playing live the song "the count of tuscany" with portnoy :(
I wish I could see them playing the song as a whole. :D Since that tour, they haven't played it live. :(
They played it with Mangini, Dramatic Turn of Events tour.
Portnoy has a different feeling man... :\
@@KPDrums I know it's been two years and all but...
No, he doesn't lol. It's all in your head.
