this song is a gift divine!
Yes it is my friend.
It was supposed to be. Wasn't it ? lol
Dream Theater songs are so inspirational. The best song writers in the metal scene.
john petrucci
A genius if I ever knew one. The band really does compliment him.
+AriochStarr 👍

Simply the best of all!
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Right.
Who else knows the lyrics by heart from listening to it so much?
dutchificationer I definitely do I sing it in my head from time to time it will be played at my funeral.
When a musical artist makes similar sounding albums:
"WHY DON'T YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENT?"
When a musical artist makes different sounding albums:
"WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS?"
Marvelous song. Petrucci's solo is absolutely wonderful and spectacular.
I just cried while watching this video...
Me too!! A lot . But of happiness ❤
another beautiful & deeply meaningful song by Dream Theater . . .
Yes
No, it's not deep, it's very cliche and simple. Take away the elementary singing and the song is okay. Not something to write home about. Very Very simple.
Lyrically this song is not deep, and very simple. Beats aren't deep dum dum. Also, DURRR of course if you're a fan you're going to respect their music. That's like saying if you like soft serve ice cream you'll respect dairy queen. Please when trying to respond, try sounding intelligent. At least now I know why you think this song is deep. Quite possibly the 'stupidest' comment I've ever read.
crystal york Jesus bro some songs have deep meanings to different people! Respect his (or her) interpretation of this song it isn’t your song that you wrote for yourself!
You see here Rob, there is a serious problem in this world, that problem is that there are too many stupid people. If this song, which is about as deep as a mud puddle on the sidewalk is what you find to be deep. You are just part of the problem. People are consumed with themselves and only themselves, so much to the point that they view shit like this as deep. You know what's deep? Recognizing the turmoil the world is in and how we can alleviate the problems of the world. Not selfish meaningless garbage like the lyrics of this song. That's why I criticized this comment. Time to think outside the box people.
I should also say that, Musicality aside (as if), the choice of video content and editing is inspired and is so much more than a lyrical presentation. Jose has captured the mood and musicality of the composition and the resulting video belies an innate sense of timing and a feel for the subject matter which grafts sublimely onto the audio track. A masterly interpretation and more importantly, a fitting tribute to the band's musical presentation..
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I absolutely agree. I was traveling for work when I started listening to this album, so visiting new places, the views from the sky, etc. all heightened my enjoyment of this song at the time, and the video captures it perfectly.
It's hard to find diz kind f song nw adays.
Is there a better american rock band than Dream Theater? I don,t think so. They have it all. Great vocals, great songwriting and some of the best chops in all of music.
no dream theater is not a rockband, it is Progressive Metal
James D Hill TOOL, but that’s about it.
Oh my God how I love this song with nature video, thank your for inspiring....
Divine song...Divine pictures....Dream Theatre show us that they are not without inspiration !....It seems that it's on the contrary !...and after 30 years of making awsome music they keep the best for these days...and maybe again later.....A band of genius....John is a wonderful melodist...since always but here it's awsome !....Sooooooo excelent !!!!!!
This video is something amazing....and this song of DREAM THEATER is perfect,wonderful, I can't describe how much I love it!!!! Wonderful wonderful wonderful video!!!
This may be the most beautiful song ever made. The lyrics are really good too. (The video doesn't hurt ether) Bravo Dream Theater!
This is the life we belong to...Our gift divine!!
Beautiful video and message. We discover our true identity in Christ. If we don't know who we are, you will get lost in the maze of life.
We were given a true purpose in life, as it is our divine gift.
We have Treasures in Jars of Clay!
~2 Corinthians 4:7-18~
Thank you for posting this beautiful video sis!
God bless you and your family.
Peace, blessings and love :)
I love you in Jesus, your friend and sister in Christ, Nilda xx
Ya había escuchado esta canción antes, pero con tu edición me has hecho llorar. Me tocaste el corazón. He estado atravesando una situación muy difícil en mi vida, pues tomé decisiones equivocadas y lo estoy pagando caro. Y como dice el tema, sí. Me he cuestionado toda la locura en la que me metí, deseé estar en lugar de otra persona, perdí el tiempo y sí, también quedé atrapado en el laberinto. Pero he vuelto a casa. El tiempo vuela y los recuerdos se desvanecerán. Y ésta es la única vida a la que pertenecemos, nuestro regalo divino. ¡Gracias por crear esto, hermano!
HDHMD Gracias por tu comentario! Ánimo!!!
Força e garra... a vida tem dessas coisas, tenha fé!!!
+HDHMD me ha pasado lo mismo hermano y leer tu comentario me identifico.. Sabes que? pongo mucho este tema.. Es hermoso..Y si la edición es muy bonita...Vamos que la vida es un regalo Divino !! Salú lml
Dear Jose Francisco, are these images of Antartica or Artic? Breathtaking. The images were painstakingly woven together
IlI Animo hermano! Te mando un abrazo, dos años después!
Great Progressive metal
Beautiful scenery for a beautiful song!
i don't understand, why there's so many other metal band that gets more popularity
than dream theater
HangTuah , dude but dream theater has it's own height of kingdom with their own crown n no one can touch that place nor its boundaries. Dream theater musical magicians
Dream Theater has taken the prog route - sadly not that many people are drawn to often long, highly complex songs played across multiple time signatures. That and the fact that many people do not realize DT actually does write some relatively accessible music here and there, as well as stunningly gorgeous, heart wrenching ballads like this particular masterpiece.
I love Dream Theater!
He pasado por esta cancion miles de veces pero cuando escuho esta edicion me dan ganas de vivir y llegar a todas las metas que tengo y vivir cada aventura que se ve en el video, gran video con gran cancion, sigue haciendo videos así y Dream Theater por siempre !!!!
Saludos desde chile.
Ya he puesto otros cometarios en el video pero me emociona tanto que coloco cada vez que lo veo...
+Alen Orellana Gracias!
Alen Orellana yes?
honestly, when i listen to dream theater, i imagine vast landscapes of nature. specifically like im flying over huge mountains with shimmering white ice caps, against the crystal blue sky. idk why, but this video just materializes those visions. love it!
Despite the fact that I dont be a videomaker or something look like this I think that this guy have made a absolutely perfect job!! I'm sure that professionals videomakers couldnt had make something better than this! Congratulations!
Five Star's for the Vídeo !!!
And 100 for the music....
Definitely in my top 3 of DT songs, just a beautiful song.
I told my family I want this song played at my funeral the song is so great that I think everyone should listen to this song at least once
How divinely our life is explained by DT. long live DT
Can't listen to this without totally breaking down and crying. The video footage enhances the experience even more! Thank you for this, Jose!
Beautiful video. Well done. So many DT fans try to be overly clever with vision. This was saying more in it's simplicity. Thanks
Amazing playing by Petrucci!
Well done Jose Francisco!
The 1st three note in this songs intro got me like
YOURE MY HEROINEEEEEEE
What an absolutely stunning video, Paradise in pictures and this has to be quite the finest song DT have ever released. Thank you for your work!
7 minutes of pure intens music, great lyrics, something to think about, great images.one of DT most intens songs, thanks guys
C'est tout simplement magnifique, musique exceptionnelle sur ces très belles images. Merci pour ce partage. Amicalement. JEAN-PIERRE.

Hi, congratulations for winning the contest. This is such a beautiful song and you brought it to life by making such a magnificent and phenomenal video. The video truly describes this song so well. This is my favorite out of the five videos that were selected as winners. The inclusion of nature really makes this song so beautiful visually! Keep up the good work, Dream Theater all the way \m/ CHEERS

Astonishing in every sense! Beautiful video - very apt for another Dream Theater classic!
Este es el vídeo perfecto para esta espectacular canción ... capturaste la esencia del mensaje, y la grandiosidad del paisaje se corresponde perfectamente con la belleza de la música - me quito el sombrero ante tu trabajo !!! (gracias por incluir imágenes de los tepuyes venezolanos ...)

Another a divine song from a magnificent band such as Dream Theather followed by a great video.
WHAT A VIDEO! If someone gets to see even just 2 or 3 of the places shown in the video, their life has already been lived to the full.
WOW !!! Wonderful !!! I'm crying......
The best video ive ever seen in my life, fits perfectly, thanks for making this
No Words … i am speechless.
Simply beautiful.
By far the most beautiful video I've ever seen, and one that fits the songs perfectly
Esta música é linda demais!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Masterpiece....
Amazing video. Incredible footage and very well put together. It goes so well with this awesome song!
The song itself is very good. I must add the video content is just awesome! Thanks! Keep up the inspiring work!
What an amazing video. Congratulations for the good work!!
Long live Dream Theater!
Gostei do video & musica e das imagens. muito inspirador
Wherever you found that intro video, it's bloody perfect. Mate this is spot on! Great entry!
Stunningly beautiful scenery! Nice job of matching it to this song.
I love these guys! They're almost (especially this song) theatrical in their music.
DEFINITELY THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME! I don't care what anyone says. The video went with the song perfectly. It had a tremendous emotional impact on me. Brought a tear to my eye and shivers down my spine. Now, who are those 7 stupid motherfuckers who pressed the dislike button? How can you not like this?
life is given to us by God,the way of living is given to us by us......
Petrucci's lyrics always seem to reach my heart... I love how Jordan and Petrucci wrote this song, maybe that's why I loved the so hated The Astonishing! DT manages to make simple and perhaps cheesy songs into beautiful pieces of music that fills the soul! DT is a gift divine indeed.
beautiful song...great meaning.My best song. I think for everyone...
thank you so much, Dream Theater, for creating such a beautiful, & deeply moving, meaningful song... and also, thank you so much for the creator of this video ... it's really makes me ponder deeply about the meaning of (my) Life & what should I really DO from hereon ..!
