For a while I thought I fell asleep Lying motionless inside a dream Then rising suddenly I felt a chilly breath upon me She softly whispered in my ear Forsaken, I have come for you tonight Awaken, look in my eyes And take my hand Give yourself up to me I waited painfully for not to fall again Trying to silence the fear within me Out of the night and mist I felt a stinging kiss And saw a crimson sting on her lips I have to know your name Where have I seen Your face before? My dear, why don't you be afraid? Forsaken, I have come for you tonight Awaken, look in my eyes And take my hand Give yourself up to me Take me far away Close your eyes And hold your breath 'Til the ends of the earth Forsaken, I have come for you tonight Awaken, look in my eyes and take my hand Forsaken, fly away with me tonight Awaken, renew my life Now you are mine Give yourself up to me
Before this, I had only heard Constant Motion and Panic Attack, and Dream Theater was already my favourite band. This just makes them even awesomer. Lol Mike's in track pants =D
@Blitzbot well their new drummer is supposed to be kickass. From James Labrie's twitter: "Hi All, Though I can't tell you who I can assure you that our new drummer will blow your mind. We are all incredlbly excited to get going." Aaand they're entering the studio in January, looking forward to some possible vlogs from Rudess :)
Guys. This is the studio version. How come no one has noticed this?! Come on!! This is not a separate recording. THIS IS NOT LIVE!! This is the studio version - it is actually, paired down quite a bit. There should be more evidence of panning in both left and right speakers as is in the original. There’s more there but I’m not a damn producer. Just someone who records music (hell I need one lol). But I know enough to comprehend this is ridiculous. This is otherwise identical to the studio version. Someone just literally uploaded the original audio and synced it as closely as they could to this video. Come on… I am sure someone already pointed this out and I missed it because I have horrific insomnia 😅 Anybow, well it’s still a fantastic song! One of my favorites! 🤘🔥☠️
Saw these Saturday night in Wolverhampton. Needless to say, they absolutely kicked ass, 10/10. Mangini was god-like and seemed almost stunned by the amazing reception he received after his solo and Ytse Jam. Second, Labrie's vocals were stunning and pretty much pitch perfect; even throwing in a few high notes for free! It was the first time I'd heard this song and they played it magnificently. I don't think we have anything to worry about.
Let's not forget a few more important things that factor in here: a healthy dose of power, spine-tingling melodies and hefty amounts of atmosphere. "Forsaken": putting the "power" back in "power ballad".
@JimmyJummo It's Paul Northfield ( engineer and mixing ), who previously worked with Rush, Queensrÿche, Asia , Alice Cooper, Ozzy.. this guy's resumé is quite impressive !
@thericecrispy2 , I think its due to the layers of tracks they do. You'll see that Mike and John add their vocals to the track as well. Pretty wicked song. The piano opener is just haunting.
@metalopolis1 No he did leave. He wanted a break but the band wouldn't let him because they wanted to start recording then shortly after tour again. So mike just called quits. So now he's just stay A7X. And before anyone says anything HE DID NOT LEAVE DT FOR A7X
@levi0831 Agreed. I, like many other fans, was deeply saddened by MP leaving, but I haven't lost faith in either of them. I'm definitely going to give the new DT album a listen when it comes out, and I'll probably check up on MP's solo projects as well.
honestly who the could dislike this? im serious. im not making some stupid joke about how many dislikes there are, im pretty sure its illegal to dislike a dream theater song -.-
Aaaa mi Dream Theater, qué será de ti, magnífica banda. Volverás a producir un disco tan perfecto como el Images and Words, o, como las reglas de la física, y para mi criterio, de la música, seguirás en decadencia como hasta ahorita. A veces comprendo a músicos como Lande, quienes hacen una banda excepcional, y talvéz sabiendo que las ideas llegarán a acabarse, optan por retirarse en la cuspide, dejando para la historia, una banda que sólo demostró magestuosidad y nunca decayó.
Actually, the only musician in the band who attended Juilliard was Jordan Rudess. All three founding members - Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy (former member) all attended at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Only LaBrie did not took any music lessons in the U.S. since he's Canadian.
Seems that they finally picked a new drummer. Mike Mangini. Dunno what he'll be worth in writing the future drum parts, maybe Rudess went at a crazy drum line creating with his keyboards already :p
@Crixilis NO NO NO MAN they didnt break up all of them cept portnoy are recording in January! he wanted to take a break, the others didnt so there moving on and gettin a new drummer, and it was a real hard choice for portnoy but he has to do what he has to and I'm just giving a short version go to the official press release on mikes website for the whole story
I sort of agree with "sickstix182." Although the vocals can be good sometimes, such as on the epic that is "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence," I personally think that Dreamtheatre are at their peak when they are instrumental (i.e. Dance of Eternity)
it must be amazing watching while john petrucci plays and I don't who is going to be the new drummer, this man must be on mike's level he will have a lot of work
I opten watched this on my pirated dvd copy cd years ago..lol... kinda like this studio version together with the "dark eternal night"studio version...
I just dont see them ever having the same greatness without Portnoy, I mean the guy along with Petrucci wrote almost every DT song, I seriously think they made the wrong move in not letting him back in.
@j800r Yeah, except you don't really know exactly what happened between them. What you do know is a cut down and maybe even slightly altered version of the events that they decided to release to the press.
@Blitzbot There's a difference between being a leader and someone who is always bossing people around. Guess who got kicked out from Avenged Sevenfold few months ago?
@Blitzbot it's true, though it was his own choice, not the band's choice... I've had opportunity to meet guys... MP was always and always be a legend.... But I think that DT can keep up without him ...
@Blitzbot you cant refer to any single member of dream theater as being the song writer. If you knew how complex the riffs and melodies are on all the instruments you'd realise they couldnt be written by a drummer. John petrucci writes more music that portnoy.

2:55, Portnoy's finest moment
lmao 🤣
@@sakuraiakari I just made myself laugh after 6 years
@@AlonDrums I'm laughing now, so I'll take some time to remind you to laugh again.
Slap those tambourines Mike!!!
That is secretly one of the sweeeetest solos ever. That sweep is insanely fast and clean. Petrucci is unreal.
THE BEST BAND EVER
James LaBrie is my absolute favorite vocalist, his voice is powerful yet so full of emotions.
Right man
F**k other bands! This is THE band
Such an amazing band!
Hello Mike...How are you doing ???
Hope all is well...Wishing you a lovely weekend...Wenhsing*hugs*
*♥.ღ ~ mwkjdrew ~ ღ.♥* ✿⊱╮ Doing well Wenhsing -- hope the same for you.
Still amazing
One of the best power ballads (YES!) I've ever heard! Simply flawless. Love it.
For a while I thought I fell asleep
Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly I felt a chilly breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear
Forsaken, I have come for you tonight
Awaken, look in my eyes
And take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited painfully for not to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson sting on her lips
I have to know your name
Where have I seen
Your face before?
My dear, why don't you be afraid?
Forsaken, I have come for you tonight
Awaken, look in my eyes
And take my hand
Give yourself up to me
Take me far away
Close your eyes
And hold your breath
'Til the ends of the earth
Forsaken, I have come for you tonight
Awaken, look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken, fly away with me tonight
Awaken, renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me
4:28 gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it
No drumstick-twirling theatrics or behind-the-head guitar playing or quad-keyboard banks. Just straight up talent.
What's wrong with being theatrical?
isn't it lovely how james is gesturing while singing? ;D
Before this, I had only heard Constant Motion and Panic Attack, and Dream Theater was already my favourite band. This just makes them even awesomer. Lol Mike's in track pants =D
I don't know what to say but I love this band so much...they are all epic
2:54 Amazing percussion... nobody else could do that
Mike Portnoy's most outstanding percussion moment. 2:56 - 2:58
My favorite song of Dream Theater
UniqeuNkz😮😮🎉🎉
Holy Shit this is pure perfection thank you John, MIke, John, Jordan and James
The Gods have been pleased
For now.
Amazing song ....
From Indonesian republik,
Forsaakkeeeennn
so Good Love it... Goosebumps...
Man I love dream theater it was the first concert I ever went to
The sweetiest guitar solo that I've ever heard in my life. DT 4 EVER
James always looks like he's in a Soap Opera while in the booth
@Blitzbot well their new drummer is supposed to be kickass. From James Labrie's twitter:
"Hi All, Though I can't tell you who I can assure you that our new drummer will blow your mind. We are all incredlbly excited to get going."

This shows how amazing they are at what they do. They disserve their fame

This is such a good song!

One of my favorite DT song ❤
That long sustain at 4:01 is really something!
i have hope that the new drummer will fit completely with them .. they know what they are doing
Master song......
@JimmyJummo It's Paul Northfield ( engineer and mixing ), who previously worked with Rush, Queensrÿche, Asia , Alice Cooper, Ozzy.. this guy's resumé is quite impressive !
I love this band....and this song.
ESPECTACULAR 5ººººº and Very Good Performance
@thericecrispy2 , I think its due to the layers of tracks they do. You'll see that Mike and John add their vocals to the track as well. Pretty wicked song. The piano opener is just haunting.
I love so much this song
No one can be like Mike Portnoy,he was the locomotive of the DT
Forsaken ❤
@Blitzbot im pretty sure the responsibility is now to petrucci 80%and rudess 15% the rest the band
@metalopolis1 No he did leave. He wanted a break but the band wouldn't let him because they wanted to start recording then shortly after tour again. So mike just called quits. So now he's just stay A7X. And before anyone says anything HE DID NOT LEAVE DT FOR A7X
A great sound!
Loved this...thank you for posting it. I think I actually like this one better than the animated video. Thanks again. Peace.
Best vocals ever
You are the best ....I love you Dream Theater.....
0:42 outstanding drumming skills
Best dream theater line up
@levi0831 Agreed. I, like many other fans, was deeply saddened by MP leaving, but I haven't lost faith in either of them. I'm definitely going to give the new DT album a listen when it comes out, and I'll probably check up on MP's solo projects as well.
This is the best band ever. DT you are awesome!!!
2019?
honestly who the could dislike this? im serious. im not making some stupid joke about how many dislikes there are, im pretty sure its illegal to dislike a dream theater song -.-
This band is great in everything...
From 3:42 to 4:03 a very Yngwie esque solo by Petrucci especially the harmonic minor shred.
Yeah, I like this better than the animated video too. What a treat to watch all the naunces!!

it's also awesome in vocals
I've had this song as my phone's ringtone, back in 2007-2010 lol
They're gods.
Just Perfect.

Mike you drive me crazy!!!!

Criminally underrated
Una de las mejores canciones de DT!
Genius People at Work =)
portnoy does the best damn shaker parts ever
I opten watched this on my pirated dvd copy cd years ago..lol... kinda like this studio version together with the "dark eternal night"studio version...
Only the gods could create songs like Dream Theater do!
I just dont see them ever having the same greatness without Portnoy, I mean the guy along with Petrucci wrote almost every DT song, I seriously think they made the wrong move in not letting him back in.
i didnt know mick foley played drums
I want more DT in studio action!!
@j800r Yeah, except you don't really know exactly what happened between them. What you do know is a cut down and maybe even slightly altered version of the events that they decided to release to the press.

@Blitzbot

@666emppu
which gave him the magic power of grammar & spelling.
i didn't know that mike and john was in the backing vocals :)
@Blitzbot you cant refer to any single member of dream theater as being the song writer. If you knew how complex the riffs and melodies are on all the instruments you'd realise they couldnt be written by a drummer. John petrucci writes more music that portnoy.
@Kriztineee Hell Yeah \w/ !!
