Portnoy returns and makes a New DVD with tcot as outro of the night with orchestra behind them, and in a big stage with dancers and ballets complimenting the song .. a dream.
@@Marifet124 Just a question: In your opinion is the "new" drummer (Mike Mangini) objectively worse than portnoy (worse enough to warrant a dislike at least), or is it just different sounds.
Even with all of the amazing stuff that he has played throughout his career, I feel that this song has Jordan's finest keyboard work. It's such a shame that it's so buried in the mix because this is truly breathtaking.
Joe Romano That's why I'm glad they released the instrument stems as a bonus. I wish they'd do it for every album! If you're not happy with the mix on the album you can mix it to your heart's content.
zabunia It was nice having the tracks. I've always disliked the mixing that Dream Theater does - especially them always drowning out John Myung's bass.
amazing how every instrument by itself are so powerfull on expression and sound that drags you INTO the vibe of the song by themselves...and when all combined they sound like the epic masterpiece the song is.
Ohh rubbish you kids! Music was never a thing of how fast you play with circus sounds. I think who ever likes Moore better, realizes that technically Jordan is untouchable, it was always about the musical maturity. Imagine how young Kevin was ( and other guys too ) when they did Images and Words and how mature the song writing in it is.
bald fucking smurf more like. he was part of the conspiracy to oust portnoy, the face of the band, so he can fuck off just as any other assclown in fake theater, including mangina
[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Let me introduce My brother A bearded gentleman Historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight No accident [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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
There is a video, jordan posted it himself, it shows his keyboard screen sometime in the video, maybe it will help on producing the sound, or whatever. Its called Tuscany practice continued and is posted my JCRUDESS
I don't know, but I think it's quite hard to reproduce that on the iphon or ipad, so you need to have a full keyboard, a good synth and a bit of time to rebuild that sound! usually he makes his sound on the keyboard by using more sound layers, obtaining cool effects like that one
yup! to reproduce that sound I just split the keyboard into two channels, so that you can play the two parts which are mostly at the same height! then I think it's just all about the player's taste to reproduce the sound with what you have in your keyboard or in your software...
@@djorlando57 ahh man thanks for bringing me here again. This song was everything to me when I discovered it at 17 years old. Now i'm 23 and I'm still in love with it and with Rudess' output on it. Ahh, so many good memories come to me with these sounds.
Oh, my God!!! I love this song and definitely LOVED!!! this keyboards only version! Does anyone know where can I get the BCASL producers edition? If possible? Man this makes me so proud to be a musician and even prouder to be a keyboardist! Thanks for uploading this!
Dude, where did you get this? I saw that you also uploaded a guitar stem of Rite of Passage on your channel.. :) I'm very itnterested specifically in Nightmare to Remember, if you have it, please upload it :)
now I have not the entire cd with me since I left it at my house and I study and live in another city, but when I get to go back I will take it and try uploading it! dunno how much it willa take though
Yeah I know. He layers so many sounds in one, he's a fucking genius. And now that I listen to this again you can almost hear a Tabla sounding drum in the background if you listen closely.
Man... you're right. I've started learning to play this bit I'm so bad that I had to listen to it quite a few times, even slowing it down. Still, I could not hear the drum but now as you pointed it out it is quite clearly there! Magic! :)
Neither can I! :D That's why I tend to stick with his work with DT/LTE. When he plays the acoustic piano I get lost in seconds. I'd probably need a few years of classical music training just to enjoy it properly. :)
rudess is so awesome that he can play this without touching the keyboard and staying completly still pointing at the camera
He isnt even looking the keyboard uwu
Haters will say it's just a picture
XD!!!! Love it!
Ahahahahahahah 😂😂😂😂 ❤
hes playing with his feet on an off-camera keyboard
2:38 .. most wonderful harmony ever ...
+Joshua Stam Agreed. I listen to that part daily for months.
+jake rheingold hahaha same boat ... every now and then (weekly) I check on it.
Zakariah Lafreniere nope
It's really awesome!
Can you just imagine 17:28 played by a live orchestra and choir? THAT would be beautiful.

@@Marifet124 exactly I thought
Goosebumps everytime, and Yes, I always imagine it with a big orchestra
@@Marifet124 yes but, manginni play good this BCSL music's album
Just amazing and Tuscany's outro in my opinion is the most powerful, emotional, and epic ever.
Me too
17:28 makes me cry :')
So glad to have finally seen this masterpiece live. What a moment it was to hear 17:28 in real-time

@@zabuniawhere can I get these stems? I'm making a backing track for best of times
@cosmic_gate476 please do one of just the keys like this if you find it!!! Been checking RUclips for months for isolated keys for Best of Times
5:54 is beautiful
synced this up with the album version. it's amazing to hear how much better the album version could have been with louder keys
13:17 onwards sounds like leaving this mortal life behind.
Now I see why everyone is talking about 17:28! That is absolutely amazing!
Why? It's a decent part. Fits the song. That's about it.
@@sillysausage4549 you know pretty dang well it's better than you say it is
Holy Crap! Saw all these comments about 17:28 being incredible, didnt expect half of what I got!😮
Thats the amazing Jordan Rudess for ya. He is truly one of the greatest musicians
Best keyboard track ever.
Feelings technique skills passion ❤
That chorus its just so tasty!!! 5:53
chills every time
@@beanman2206 sucks that you cant hear it in the song ):
amazing how every instrument by itself are so powerfull on expression and sound that drags you INTO the vibe of the song by themselves...and when all combined they sound like the epic masterpiece the song is.
The 6/4 9/4 part at the middle gives me goosebumps.
Of all the isolated instruments this is my favorite. Absolutely amazing!!!
The genius wizard who turned Disney into Metal!! 💓
17:28 make me goosebumps!!!!!
THE GUY IS A GENIUS I CANT EVEN COMPREHEND IT
I can't help but laugh at all the people out there that say Kevin Moore was better than Jordan Rudess. Sorry, but Rudess is a fucking keyboard God.
TheCiscoKid2112 an apples to oranges comparison.
Zakariah Lafreniere rudess bought his own shoes
TheInceptum how?

That bit sounds so heavenly and angelic, absolutely perfect.
Yeah Mr White! Yes Music!
2:38 ... most epic keyboard lick I have heard in a long time!

The intro and the Chorus... EPIC!
It's the music to the JR boss fight
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me introduce
My brother
A bearded gentleman
Historian
Sucking on his pipe
Distinguished accent
Making me uptight
No accident
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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
That's a precious gift!
First time I'm hearing this from the song I've been listening for years.
Came here for 17:28
Thank you so much for the upload. The orchestration at the ending is absolutely incredible, it makes my neck hairs stand!
There is a video, jordan posted it himself, it shows his keyboard screen sometime in the video, maybe it will help on producing the sound, or whatever. Its called Tuscany practice continued and is posted my JCRUDESS
one of if not the best song for him of the whole discography!!
That ending has all the feeling. :)
03:57 - King Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon sound. Amazing
17:28, goosebumps like you wouldn't believe. Wow...
Whole another dimension omg!!!!! Is there of more songs??
15:20 until the end, or 16:32 until the end is the best melody
Thank you so much for uploading this!!!

Does anyone else gets chills at 9:22? I think is my favorite Rudess part.
i wanna kill somebody body in that part :V , but is really nice :P
9:22 is great Yes 👍 awesome 👏 I love the first part 9:07 and then response at 9:22

The sore throat you get at 17:28.. music is a beautiful language.
2:38 sounds a bit like Minecraft if you play it at .25 speed.
2022 October still lovin' it
my master, the wizard
Dude, where did you get this? I saw that you also uploaded a guitar stem of Rite of Passage on your channel.. :) I'm very itnterested specifically in Nightmare to Remember, if you have it, please upload it :)
The Deluxe version of Black Clouds And Silver Linings came with all the stems for all the songs.
yeah, thats why i ment! never heard it in the studio version before
not even close, melody and harmony on 2:37 is superb.
The sound choice is superb
It seems like you're listening to a videogame soundtrack...
7 songs from Scenes From A Memory were used in Dragonballs Z: The History Of Trunks
5:52 is the simplest and most phenomenal sound. Piano + Strings = Always sounds good. Jordan Rudess is the bestttttttttttttttttttttttttt
The pig gets real badass here... 3:49
2:36 amazing!
What is this sound?
hes playing with his feet on an off-camera keyboard
17:28 Oh my god!
awesome, Jordan is really a wizard!!!
que lindo escuchar bien el teclado con todos los detalles!!
they really did Jordan dirty man
now I have not the entire cd with me since I left it at my house and I study and live in another city, but when I get to go back I will take it and try uploading it! dunno how much it willa take though
This guy is BRILLIANT!!!!!
if someone can combine this track with the 'guitar only' track, would be nice..
Prase M i could make some
Yess.. pleaseeee
Just love the Mellotron sound!
Yeah I know. He layers so many sounds in one, he's a fucking genius. And now that I listen to this again you can almost hear a Tabla sounding drum in the background if you listen closely.
man, I wish he scored movies.
17:28 completely caught me off guard, my body just froze!
Love the Mellotron sounds....
sounds amazing!
Man... you're right. I've started learning to play this bit I'm so bad that I had to listen to it quite a few times, even slowing it down. Still, I could not hear the drum but now as you pointed it out it is quite clearly there! Magic! :)
Sem dúvidas, essa é uma das coisas mais insanas que já ouvi. Épico!
Simply Monstrous!!! I love it!!!
I really love the sound around 2:38 does anyone know if there's a samplewiz preset or any other software that produces that sound?
I was using two instances of a minimoog pluging from Arturia for this part, keyboard splitted to have the two at the same height
uhm, I think I cannot help you with that! I bought it on a store where I live.. I guess you can find it on their official store or on amazon...
Didn't realize you were an audiophile, carry on. I personally can't hear a quality difference above 128
he is like hear less kirk hammet
The part at 2:19 can barely be heard in the song. It should've been a little louder.
It was included in a super special collectors limited edition of the album.
First I thought the chorus was epic, then I heard this. This would have made it so much cooler (although it is still an awesome song.)
This could be a song by itself
Me: One song one hundred sounds
Also me: Jordan Rudess
15:19 simple but beautiful T_____T
17:28 What an incredible choir patch! Definitely the best part of the song.
Is a beautiful present play that keyboards God Father bless you JR you are inmortal
De principio a fin es epico!

Some of these tunes sound like they belong on a Final Fantasy game from the 90s xD
Yep, I just did that too. Shit sounds WAY fucking better. Holy damn.
