In February of 2020 we were lucky enough to see Queensryche live and hear the song together again while singing our hearts out along with them. When she was 18, she asked that her first tattoo be matching tattoos, which we did Silent Lucidity. She is 25 now. Every time I hear this song, I tear up. It has so many great memories. It gave so much more to us than just music.

Yeah, this is much more palatable and the vocals are beautiful but I really had trouble with Empire after hearing OPM. It is a masterpiece almost all the way through. It has standouts in the same way that Dance of Eternity is a step above anything else Dream Theater did on Scenes From a Memory. It’s above perfect. Learning to Live is a good contender with the weird alternating 15/8 opening. That one has singing too! I would never choose this song for any reason except the vocal performance here has a lot of range and it’s spectacular. Not keen on it otherwise.

Before I watch the video, I want to tell you that this song means the world to me. My best friend since childhood loved this song and has since passed away (I even made sure they played it at his funeral). In the early 90s every time this song came on MTV or on the radio, we all had to shut up so he could listen to it, no matter how many times he'd heard it, he loved it every damn time and I just wanted to sing the song. Back in the day we got to annoying each other sometimes, as longtime friends are want to do, but in the years since his passing, I would give anything to go back and be with him listening to it just one more time. I just hope you like it as much as I do.

AJ Reynolds, I have to beg to differ. There is only 1, that can't be truly touched. Even as he got older, his voice got even better! Steve Perry(Ex-lead singer for Journey) is a rock God, with his vocal's. Geoff, as well as countless other vocalist's have tried to match the king of vocal's, as they all fell short. Don't get me wrong, Geoff has some killer vocal's, as well. But, Steve is in a whole other realm of his own! If I am not mistaken, the style of Geoff's vocal's, was inspired by Steve's vocal's, how he started out with his strong ability to get the word's out perfectly, then changing to that raspy voice, that he transferred to, after his surgery, that he was still able to get the clarity, but he was able to hit the right note's, with that rasp integrated into it, toward's the end, that made it even more unique. Like I said though, don't get me wrong, Geoff has his own level, as well. But, like I was sayin, Steve has such a unique voice, that has never been rivalled before. Arnel Pineda(The lead singer from the Philippines, who took over for Steve, in Journey.), came close, but still couldn't fit in Steve's shoe's...

It’s an entire journey - a banquet of sound. So happy to see you *feel* this one too. Also the dialogue that you hear overlapping in that climactic section - they are saying (as far as I can tell) something like… “I can't do this… visualize your dream and record it in the present tense - put it into a permanent form and if you persist in your” (or maybe he says all) “efforts, you can achieve dream control - dream control, dream control…” (Then you hear the voice say) Help me

Damn! I used to enjoy this song like... 25-30 years ago. But now, re-listening to it as a father, and paying attention to the lyrics for the first time, it made me shed a tear... or two.

I completely agree. I loved this song years ago but now it means so much more.

Aye. I remember when it came out - I needed things a bit faster in that time period so I didn't pay attention to it, even though it was overplayed on the radio 24/7. Now I have a 4-year-old son... It's like I never heard this song before and it's amazing.

Nothing like to take care of a son to understand and feel the spirit of this music.

This song was in my head for over 20 years without knowing who sang it. Somehow I’ve found out the name and finally got that nostalgic moment!

Go down the Queensryche rabbit hole, Andreas. "Operation: Mindcrime" and "Empire" are genius albums.

@redstarmn9308 3 жыл бұрын

Like Troy said, you really should try the full album Operation Mind Crime.. and not just a few songs off it. It's a concept album that tells a full story so while the songs work great alone , they are best with the context of the other songs . Glad you found them .

Same deal here, man. Only for me, not only did I not know who it was, the only part of it that stuck was that instrumental section. Drove me mental.

I love your response to this this is by far one of my favorite songs that I've ever listened to starting back in the late '80s. My dreams are so complex and I was drawn to this song right away

I love how this is the first song chosen, out of all the songs they have. For me, I was kind of giddy, seeing the reaction to this song, knowing full well what’s to come. As this song does not even begin to explore Geoff’s vocal range. The hook has been set. Now, it gets interesting!! Side note, I have watched a few other reactive video’s on other Queensryche songs.
