This album "A Similitude Of A Dream" is based on on the book Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan which was originally published in 1678. It follows a man weighed down with spiritual guilt, who must leave his home in the City Of Destruction to go to the Celestial City.
It's crazy how a writing that old mean so much to me. I think it means something for every christian who read it.
I listened to the album before I knew it was inspired from that book and yet I thought to myself: "This sounds so familiar to Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress". I forgot that the book actually started with the narrator defending that the story he is about to tell is framed as a dream.
The book is a must read; the album is a must listen to. It resembles the story quite great.
"Through the rain in the fire, I have finally FOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND YOUUUUUUUUU!"
Eric is a hell of a singer. That's probably the single most powerful part of this incredibly powerful song. Chills.
Su voz es increíble...un ángel...y la guitarra....por diossss...ese tema me riza los pelo cada vez...super neal...supe Mike ... super todosss❤🤘🤘😎🔝🔝🔝
it warms my heart to read these comments. they speak the feelings I've had for quite a while listening to Neal's music
This could be my favorite song of all time.
same here
I have been tormented
And I have been deceived
I have known depression
A thousand nights I couldn't sleep
Facing all my enemies
I was paralyzed with fear
But following a question
And I'm not really clear
But it led me here...
Where I have seen and I have known
By setting down the road called home
The journey is to be with you
For I have seen the broken sky turn blue
The broken sky turn blue
Why go through the trouble?
Why not just disappear?
Why all of these questions?
Why doesn't God just make it clear?
The rain becomes a river
The stream becomes a lake
Keep following the whisper
No matter what it takes
'til you reach the gate
Where I have seen and I have known
By setting down the road called home
The journey is to be with you
Your love has made the broken sky turn blue
The broken sky turn blue
There's a song in the night
There's a city of light
There's a universe yet to be known
There's an opening door
There's so very much more
As together we seek to come home
Yeah I have seen and I have known
By setting down the road called home
And journeys end, I am with you
For I have seen the broken sky turn blue
Now I belong to you
I belong to you
And it's been a long day now
Down this road I have traveled
And it's been a dark night
And I've been searching so long
Through the rain in the fire
I have finally found you
And It's been a long day now
But this son's coming home
This son's coming home
This son's coming home
To be the completed man
To love and to understand
To change everything I can
It now makes sense to me
To be who I could not be
To love you so easily
With your life inside of me
Let the great adventure now begin...
I think this might be one of the best albums ever made. it's a masterpiece. great job Neal Morse.
Agree bro. This album is from start to finish, something special that only happens once in a lifetime for an artist. And this time, Neal Morse is that artist.
I find it amazing that as good as Neal Morse is, he keeps getting better.
One of the best album endings I've ever heard.
Facts
It's hard to put my finger on just how special and powerfully anointed this music is. This is the most uplifting, powerful and perfect piece of music I have ever heard.

I listen to this song regularly and I always enjoy rediscovering how spot on your comment is! This is a truly fantastic piece of music that I cannot get tired of.
Moi également je l'écoute au moins 1 fois par jour et celà me donne la pêche pour partir au travail.
Not just me who thinks this then!
My God.. when those strings come in at the 6 minute mark..
Perfect prog...
Shivers... goosebumps, everything. Simply the most wonderful ending of an album that I have ever heard.
Perfect finale for one the better albums that exists. Thanks Neal Morse.
Serfo agree bro. what an anointed piece of music.
Haken i see there, nice pic ;)
absolutely agree brother. a masterpiece
I am tormented by this music. It makes me realize how I have wasted so much of my life. Regardless, it's like water for an incredible thirst.
Amen bro.
Think of it as not wasting your life. Maybe you didn't focus on just one thing. But all that you learned and experienced did bring you here. You just took a different road to get to where you are. Be proud of that. You learned things others will never know. They were all too busy focusing on just one thing.
Actually, that's what the whole album is about: "The Pilgrim's Progress." The new album, "The Great Adventure," completes the journey.
Forward we go, on the road called Home....
This is the Neal Morse Sgt Peppers or Dark Side of the Moon. Epic. If the music world could get their arms around his music they would see what a genius, anointed and gifted artist he is. Similitude never gets old and I hear something new and special with each listen.
This used to be my favorite song. It used to be and it still is too
This is really a perfect ending to a perfect album. One of the best songs I've ever heard. So much emotion, so much talent. And Mike Portnoy on drums! What more can you ask for?
Oh yes ❤
This song is a masterpiece❤
"let the great adventure now begin"
The Great Adventure is coming so soon! I can't wait.
Another awesome album. Highly recommend!👍
Perfection is rarely attained... Luckily on this occasion perfection has been surpassed. The best and most beautiful Album I have ever heard!☺💘🎧👍
A masterpiece! One of the best prog albums ever made.
It might be one of the best song of all time .
Bloody hell! The second half of this track had me in tears! Y u do dis, Eric?
I love this. Even given I only discovered "Snow" existed 4 monthes ago, this has become my favourite Prog Album ever.
Go get it. One of the most perfection personified purchasing actions in my limited existence amongst this Earth. Even if the accompanying DVD didn't seem to address Eric Gillet's presence and addition to this Rock Classic, it is still a wonderful acoustic wonderment.
THIS IS IT! said the sticker on the case. They are not wrong :)
Happy 62nd Birthday, Neal Morse!
Indeed, an epic finale of an extraordinary album...
Wonderful song, beautiful when me and my friend Carl saw them live in london. I think this might be one of the best songs ever made.
Eric Gillette is a hell of a musician. Everything about his playing is amazing
Musicianship at it's best
Absolutely EXCELLENT........
I prefer this over the overture. It feels more empowering and there's a sense of completion. Perfect as a closing track.
Simply a masterpiece album and songThe majestic final touches the heart.
It's been a long day and I cry for this masterpiece, the most incredible song in all my life!! ❤
Me too, man. Me too.
Me too ❤
The best Neal's song
eric is perfect
come on part at 7:39 always give goosebumps ... Eric Gilette is phénomenal ...
A mix of Yes and Genesis is an awesome combination. Great album!👍
Absoluty melodic and powerfull ,a masterpeace
Wow, that is just...
perfect!
This song is so powerful and in my opinion really a Neal Morse kind of song. The part beginning at 0:35 reminds of a combination of the song "All is vanity" from the Snow album and the Questionmark album.
Morse knows how to write a great song,
Gillette knows how to sing (and play) it great.
Portnoy allways knows how to play drums infernaly great!!!
perfect...and promptly ordered the CD!
This was so epic live.... Like a celebration!
FABULOUS
Brilliance no other word.
love this ..so beautiful
Simply Brilliant
6:20!! I love my "almost namebrother" 💪💪💪
Perfect...
Total Magic .absolutly enormous !!!!
Awesome!
hermoso...
#C'MON !!!
Epic
The last song in the soundtrack of my life.
wow. that is all
Very appreciated Genesis' style
Very very good, fantastic on 3 Vinyl de luxe album
À Nice Master pièce of Music.
Eric has the balls that John Petrucci used to have.
As hard as it is to admit, you're right. John really hasn't done very much good writing since Scenes from a Memory. Eric on the other hand, keeps getting better...and he can SING with an incredible voice. I see why Portnoy left Dream Theater to play with Morse.
Super Eric!!!
neal lo hizo de nuevo.
The Great Adventour: Live in BRNO 2019
To a fault, I typically overanalyze song structure. Neal's stuff, though. Man, I have teared up more for his stuff than every other composer combined. Cut it out, Neal!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
THE GREAT ADVENTOUR 2019
So now we officially have progressive gospel?
A real concept album
Neal Morse has been all about "Progressive Gospel" since "Testimony" (2003).
"One" was the one that absolutely laid me out, and it's been a Heavenly Banquet ever since.
Neil Morse quit "Spock's Beard" and assembled a group that sound the same way.
Where did he found that kid who's singing sounds like S.Beard and a guitar that sounds like Dream Theater?
That is Eric Gillette! A very epic singer, drummer, keyboardist and guitarist!
@7:39 COME ON!
my boyfriend loves this song
I am the boyfriend, guys
@@vitormacedo7619 love you, bae
@@maristelareis995 love you too, bae
so should I go see them next week?
why regret it later?
I know mate
Saw the band in Mesa, AZ, Sunday last, and start to finish It was simply the most astonishing musical performance I have ever experienced.
I'm 60, and I've seen every great group you can imagine at some point during the last 45 years.The level of musicianship meets or exceeds that of any of the band's predecessors, from ANY era. But, perhaps most importantly, the music is actually ABOUT something.
The Similitude album is amazing: If it had been released in the '70s, it would have been right up there with "Tommy," "Dark Side of the Moon," and---yes--even "Jesus Christ Superstar."
I was hoping the live performance would at least come close to the perfection Neal and the rest of the band achieved in the studio, but that night they EXCEEDED it in every way.
Special kudos to Eric Gillette, who is truly among the finest two or three guitarists I have ever seen. Don't pass up a chance to see this band. They have EARNED our enthusiastic support!
Best concert I've ever seen (twice) and I have been to hundreds of concerts in my life.
Make that 4 times. Still the best. Ever.
:):):):):):):)
You can tell Neal morse didnt want to end the last song of the album without having people listen to his voice, Eric Gillete's voice was PERFECT for this ending, I feel the song should had just ended at 8:50, I rant about this because Portnoy actually talked about the band wanting to end it like that, but that it was Neal's band and his desicion, cocky neal.
Sharpy William I agree, Neal is as cocky as they come. It especially comes across in his interviews; never seen a guy so full of himself.
with good reason
I have met him. He is as humble as they come in spite of his immense talent.
Neal's little coda will make more sense to you when you hear "The Great Adventure" album begin.
disagree, the ending with Neal set a sequel up perfectly, which obviously ended up happening
Nombre no.... chingón cabrones.. 🇲🇽
Neal did nothing here - the whole album consists of pieces of his earlier works. VERY secondary creativity.
Well Lykian, if this is just secondary then I can't wait until Morse takes music more serious. With all the comments I've read, I think it just may be your opinion that is very secondary creativity. I heard a building upon his earlier works. But most composers do that. And if you take Frank Zappa's approach to writing music, he claims it's just part of the same song. The Universe is one note. The Ocean is the final solution.
Luckily your opinion is so far in the minority. Not sure what album you listened to but this one is classic.
Yeah, get your ears checked. This album is great!👍
Yeah, no musician does that right? Lol
Neal, PLEASE stop with the overtly religious stuff. It is fine to have a Christian rock career but PLEASE stop it in your mainstream stuff. You ruined the last transatlantic album with it...
Steve P an artist pours out everything in its art, even his beliefs.
First, I don't find it overtly religious. There can be found different meanings. Don't let religion get in the way of a good song. (maybe if you would just listen. You certainly aren't hearing.)
Steve P this is far from overtly religious. Yes it's spiritual but certainly not preaching religion. Not to mention it's based on a novel.
If Neal was going to "stop with the overtly religious stuff," he should have started by NOT having the band do a concept album based on the classic tomb "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. Jeez! As Ian Anderson might say, Neal's God is not "the kind you have to wind up on Sundays."
