BEST ENDING EVERRRRRR, I LOVE THIS SONG
very good song indeed :P
top ten anime plot twists
my fav ending after ministry of the lost soul
i was enjoying music first, then i listened to the story and ngl it got me from the start, everything seemed fishy......then it stressed me out......i was looking what happened in the end so badly like i was scared......then the end was peaceful.......this song gave me emotions i didnt know existed
And best intro too ❤❤❤
Man what a song! Probably one of the greatest in progressive metal history. Simply love it❤️❤️
The chapel and the saint, the soldiers and the Wine, the Fable and the tales. He really describes my country. Greetings from Tuscany.
Manca solo qualche riferimento agli smadonnamenti toscani per essere perfetto
...Greetings from Maremma :)
@@MrAlfaroger Idolo ahahahah
@@MrAlfaroger Scusa, ma che cosa vuol dire questa parola "smadonnamenti"? È slang?
the last true Dream Theater masterpiece ... the Intro is still spinechillin' after all those years ...well aged as a good wine.....
Mike Portnoy went out with a bang.
-Raw Dog doesn't count-
One of the best DT songs
I wish it was like a 90-minute movie, a pity !!!
The most dramatic and climactic Dream Theater song in history ends the Portnoy era. How fitting.
Miss him
This tune goes into the annals of truly great prog music tracks. It's right up there
this is by far, my favorite lyrics ever, a whole story told the master john petrucci
This video makes me jam out and wanna cry all at the same time. And all the while it's still fresh in 2020
I remmember a lot of people hating on this song when the album came out.
I m glad its finally getting the recognition it always deserved.
TRULY
How can you be mad about this song? I didn't even like Dream Theater that much before I heard this song.
Several years ago
In a foreign town
Far away from home
I met the Count of Tuscany
A young eccentric man
Bred from royal blood
Took me for a ride
Across the open countryside
Get into my car
Let's go for a drive
Along the way
I'll be your guide
Just step inside
Maybe you recall
A cannibal curator
A character inspired by my brother's life
Winding through the hills
The city far behind
On and on we drove
Down narrow streets and dusty roads
At last we came upon
A picturesque estate
On sprawling emerald fields
An ancient world of times gone by
Let me introduce
My brother
A bearded gentleman
Historian
Sucking on his pipe
Distinguished accent
Making me uptight
No accident
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place
Just doesn't feel right
I
I don't want to die
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
I want to say goodbye
This could be the last time
You see me alive
I-
I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived
Would you like to see
Our secret holy place?
I come here late at night
To pray to him by candle light
Then peering through the glass
I saw with disbelief
Still dressed in royal clothes
The saint behind the altar
History recalls
During times of war
Legend has been traced
Back inside these castle walls
Where soldiers came to hide
In barrels filled with wine
Never to escape
These tombs of oak are where they died
Down the cellar stairs
I disappear
Like the English heir
The end is near
Come and have a taste
A rare vintage
All the finest wines
Improve with age
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place
Just doesn't feel right
I
I don't want to die
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
I want to say goodbye
This could be the last time
You see me alive
I
I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived
Could this be the end?
Is this the way I die?
Sitting here alone
No one by my side
I don't understand
I don't feel that I deserve this
What did I do wrong?
I just don't understand
Give me one more chance
Let me please explain
It's all been circumstance
I'll tell you once again
You took me for a ride
Promising a vast adventure
Next thing that I know
I'm frightened for my life
Now wait a minute man
That's not how it is
You must be confused
That isn't who I am
Please don't be afraid
I would never try to hurt you
This is how we live
Strange although it seems
Please try to forgive
The chapel and the saint
The soldiers and the wine
The fables and the tales
All handed down through time
Of course you're free to go
Go and tell the world my story
Tell about my brother
Tell them about me
The Count of Tuscany...
John: HELP! A P.E.D.O.P.H.I.L.E has kidnapped me!
Count: Not really.
Great lyrics and song is a masterpiece
The lyrics are basically just Italian hotel California
What is there to say? It is simply magnificent.
Is my favorite song of this great band ; the end of this masterpiece gives me goosebumps. Simply and clear : ... GREAT 🤘🏻❤️
Like an italian citizen i must to say : ..... awesome song ! ! ! ❤️💪🏻🤘🏻
My favourite song of all time ❤
BEST ENDING IN PROG HISTORY
Masterpiece
13:33 always cry 😭
So we have inspired this fantastic band with this incredible song. We are proud! Come back to Italy :)
great job!! best band
This song is a 2009 song... I remeber I saw my first DT concert in 2004 when they played in a small town between Florence and Lucca. It was the year of Octavarium, they opened with Panic Attack. I wonder in the meanwhile, they tasted memorable good wines and visited old and historic mannors worth a song in the next album
Errata corrige, it was 2005. They played after Labirinth and Angra and was memorable. Damn, time flies fast...
I wonder if the guy who inspired this song know about it
Yes. This is the story of two brothers. Niccolò and Sebastiano Capponi. Take a look here www.vinodaburde.com/dream_theather_il_progressive_del_chianti_classico_e_il_sangiovese_in_purezza_vinitaly_2011/
And here you can find why there also Domè references to hannibal lecter www.terraditoscana.com/hannibal/uk/pages/kappa.htm
Simply the best song ever
I don’t know how many times I can listen to this and it gets better every time.
i love this song. 😍😍
muy buen tema. en algunas canciones dream theater sonaba como una banda de deaath metal, pero se fue arreglando siendo un poco mas melodica y eso los salvo en la fama. pero john petrucci conoce mucho de musica, jordan tambien, ellos fueron evolucionando mucho. el mejor album para mi es el de a dramatic turn of events, le sigue el de dream theather. es un grupo unico donde meten partes clasicas en heavy metal, las partes en la guitarra en clean son muy buenas, hay que tener mucha creatividad y conocer mucho de musica para lograr una isnpiracion asi .
The band's last great masterpiece. After that, it was literally over. The albums that came later, I have to hunt for a good song or two. And it seems that they already felt that because the end of this song is so beautiful, so epic, so fabulous that it makes you want to cry. As if it was a farewell, which actually happened to Portnoy. Say what you want, but when Dream Theater made songs like this, there was no competition, there was no other option but to bow your head and revere the genius of the greatest Prog Metal band on the planet.
Well said sir
Remember, it was Portnoy's decision to leave. He thought he was joining Avenged Sevenfold but they didn't want him . Now he wastes his life in second rate and cover bands.
@@jamestulk5111 he is still Portnoy .
@@jamestulk5111 well he seems pretty great in neal morse band, their new album sounded incredible
Oh come on…

Reading the lyrics makes the story seem hilarious.
Lol yeah
@@willcole1450 Don't say 'lol' also don't reply 'lol' to my answer, if you can..
*3 months later*
Lol
@@unnamedman5576 I agree that a lot of people overuse "lol". But in this case, my original comment was about the song being hilarious, ie makes you laugh out loud.
but the people who over-"lol" should have a nightmare or two to remember.

3:55 GO GO POWER RANGERSSSS
TARIK SIS
epic
it should not end this way
hey....does somebody knows the meaning of the lyrics???....is it about an italian story or something??? give more info pls!
I could be wrong, but off the top of my head I think it was about some weird experience Petrucci had in Italy
Maybe...👍🏻
Yes, is about an experience that petrucci had in italy
they are related to the history of the Hannibal movie. In real story, his family had a vineyard and his brother helped him to do his murders. In the story of the song they invite him to visit his house, to tell his macabre stories, then he thinks he will be kept arrested and murdered but they let him go to tell ther stories and "The Count of Tuscany"
From What I Can Tell, It's Based On A Story Of When John Patrucci Meant Sebastiano Capponi, Who Told Him About How Hannibal Lectar Is Partially Based On His Brother, Niccolò, And How WWII Soldiers Hid In Wine Barrels In His Basement Which They Never Managed To Get Out Of, As Well As, If The Song Is To Be Believed (I Can't Find Any Outside Source For This) Showing Him An Altar With Behind It The Body Of A Saint, These, Naturally, Lead To Him Being Quite Scared, And (Again Basing This Solely On The Song) When Sebastiano Noticed, He Tried To Reassure Him, Saying He Wasn't Going To Kill Him And He's Free To Go, And Even Suggesting He Tell People About This Occurance, Which He's Done Via This Song.
From heaven or hell?
Where does this music come from
A band called Dream Theater. They're the best out there!
Think about inspiration.
I'know who is D T.
Maybe from heaven or hell
