For me, the real deal about this song is the lyrics. It's written in a way that allows you to take it out of its' original context, and relate it to your personal life in its' most emotional angles. Everyone has their walls that they wish to go beyond. Everyone wantes to find peace in a world that you can be yourself. Everyone has his life changing events. Everyone wants to have the courage to begin again somewhen. I think that this is what Petrucci was going for in this lyrics, and he did it beautifly.
Hard to define what's best from these guys, each album a different vibe, not trying to do better than before, just different and original. As we all try each day of our life. That's art.
+Diego MajCenoura Yeah, so true. Each album mix different kind of elements and I love everyone. It will sound weird but like a cake I would say Images & Words has 30% rock, 30% jazz, 40% progressive. In the other hand, Train of Thought is like 70% metal, 30% progressive. Every cd has different flavour, and I like all! Some may like chocolate, some not
Lirik I gave up hope Was dead inside Stayed lost within a world I chose to hide Then I found my faith in him And now I can Begin again I once believed Our fate was sealed But now at last, the truth has been revealed In an instant Life could change And now and then begin again I know that I am meant for something more That life beyond these walls Has greater things in store When I heard his voice, I realized I'd never be the same Instantly I knew my life had changed I dream of peace Above all else To share a world where we could be ourselves We must learn to rise above the past Before we can at last Begin again
Vibes nya terasa .... ketika anak pertamaku lahir. 2017. Indana zulfa...nana. Sehat sehat terus ya nak? For my wife....thankyou. berusaha menjadi yang terbaik untuk keluarga kita. Dreamtheater.
I love this track, simply a beautiful composition and that ending, gorgeous. The fact that this is the same band behind heavy tracks like those on Train of Though shows just how versatile their songwriting and musicianship is.
This album has jordan's BEST piano playing, very beautifully played, and a lot of the ballads reminds me a ton of State of Grace by LTE and An Evening With.
The instrumental outro is THE best part in the whole album!!! It's like a motivational push to do anything!!! Wonder if it was Jordan's or Petrucci's brains?
The transition between 3:12 and 3:15 it is like the moment in your life when everything was seems so hard and awful but in the end you can go through it and finished it well. :-) PS: sorry for my bad english
this song is so emotional . spirit carries on was my favourite but this one is really different . what a perfect ballad Mr.Petrucci . thank you guys , love you.
The Astonishing is the only one album ever that can make me feel like in another world life. So peacefull and calm. Just like dream world. And kinda make me feel getting closer with God. Seems like i want to bring my lovely people to get in to it. Thanks my favorite musician.
I really love this song, every part of this song is beautiful, the melody and sound of each instruments are clearly detail and so nice.... I think, I already repeat this song hundreds of times since I bought the album, I love all DT songs or albums, each album has its own character and always surprising..... can't wait for the next new album.......
So to speak, immediately listened to this "Begin Again" I feel unbelievably free, sound like I'm wafting on space, free in my mind really. Oh, NO! This is an actually musical masterpiece as long as I've heard. well! so smooth but dynamic sound, meaningful phrase with sweet but powerful voice and perfectly motley rhythm until I have no any description more than I would like to salute by a deepest bottom of my heart created a rhapsody like this. Ever be a masterwork of the Great Band, Dream Theater!!
This is an underrated album. Not their best, slow, etc... but is different and i like it. Play it with a good whisky in your living room and begin the journey
I would like to add my admiration to these comments. The song and lyrics are simple but truly deep and beautiful. There seems to be a message that goes beyond this story and album.
Why is the bell part so short? :C Why is everything on this album so short? :C Something that amazing and uplifting really needs more than a puny 12-bars-then-dramatic-slowdown...
Something tells me Frozen made an impression on Petrucci, because I know he played Let it Go with his daughter and that was probably the reason for this album. SInce this is concept can be turned into an animated movie.
really love it! i wish dream theater can make more songs like this.. slow but deep in musicality that can bring us to heaven. Much respect to dream teacher!!!!!!!
A introdução dessa música é surreal, uma das harmonias mais belas da discografia do DT, provavelmente engenharia da cabeça do Rudess mesmo, claro, com a melodia perfeita do Petrucci. Infelizmente é um trecho bem curto. Queria um instrumental inteiro nessa vibe! Tipo na época do LTE com a "state of grace". Composições realmente belíssimas de rudess e petrucci.
I gotta admit its albums like DT12 and the Astonishing that are proof that Mangini is the perfect replacement for Portnoy. I honestly can't imagine DT12 and Astonishing being recorded with other drummers like Minnemann, Wildoer, and the others who auditioned and maybe even Portnoy himself. Mangini fits the type of music perfectly
ravens have flight eh? so do angels. (us) if youve been paying attention JP is talking of our soul group gaining energy to fly. since day one JPs been talking about the big picture, Illuminati, control, and us - the angels being parasite-ed. i really took notice recently going back to dramatic turn of events, that is a concept album about reality, the last song is the longing for the fractal soul group )bird tribe) knowledge that is buried beneath the surface of the physical reality were programmed to see since birth. study fractal physics and you will never look back i swear. btw if you didnt know, it is the biggest secret the US military and vatican etc keep, no joke

I agree I could not have said it any better.
So much meaning in this song...

This albums is a masterpiece
True masterpiece
Yesss
Underrated masterpiece
Create a Short
Always remember us this way
From 3:15 definitely one of the most precious thing in the whole album.
Thank You Dream Theater!!
+Danilo Bernardo
totally agreeing! the best moment of the album and one of the best DT parts EVER! love it!
+Danilo Bernardo My heart jumped when that section came on the first time lol
+Danilo Bernardo harmony? maybe you mean melody?
+Bernardo Danilo Yessss!!!!!!!!!! The best parttt!!
The best part.
Lirik
I gave up hope
Was dead inside
Stayed lost within a world I chose to hide
Then I found my faith in him
And now I can
Begin again
I once believed
Our fate was sealed
But now at last, the truth has been revealed
In an instant
Life could change
And now and then begin again
I know that I am meant for something more
That life beyond these walls
Has greater things in store
When I heard his voice, I realized
I'd never be the same
Instantly I knew my life had changed
I dream of peace
Above all else
To share a world where we could be ourselves
We must learn to rise above the past
Before we can at last
Begin again
3:12 Begiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Aaagain ... "XMAS Bells". I Love it!
+Blunout RBJ Looped that part alone for half a day! lol!!!
Vibes nya terasa .... ketika anak pertamaku lahir. 2017. Indana zulfa...nana. Sehat sehat terus ya nak? For my wife....thankyou. berusaha menjadi yang terbaik untuk keluarga kita. Dreamtheater.
My tears can say: I love you Dream Theater! 🎵❤️
You need to go to the doctor
I don't know why people dislike this album. I mean, come on, this is beautiful.
I love this track, simply a beautiful composition and that ending, gorgeous. The fact that this is the same band behind heavy tracks like those on Train of Though shows just how versatile their songwriting and musicianship is.
This song is really touches my soul and i love it
why is everything about this band so perfect?
This album has jordan's BEST piano playing, very beautifully played, and a lot of the ballads reminds me a ton of State of Grace by LTE and An Evening With.
The instrumental outro is THE best part in the whole album!!! It's like a motivational push to do anything!!! Wonder if it was Jordan's or Petrucci's brains?
+Seban Sunny Agree completely, what a beautiful section.
Sounds like a JR written section
This album was created by JP on story. But, JP and JR is brain behind this Masterpiece album.
JP's guitar tone from 0:20 to 0:55, one of the best!
The ending really reminds me of Final Fantasy, I simply love it! :)
+Marco Philipp Many DT songs reminded me of Final Fantasy, actually :)
I forgot which song it was where Trivium used a FFVII soundtrack for the intro to one of their own songs
I would so love to see a final fantasy game made of this album, I hear FF all through this album, glad I’m not the only one!
The transition between 3:12 and 3:15 it is like the moment in your life when everything was seems so hard and awful but in the end you can go through it and finished it well. :-)
PS: sorry for my bad english
Very emotional piece. Eyes get somewhat teary everytime. Great job guys. This could have been a perfect single if the December release happened.
Another gem from the amazing album!
Happy New Year 2023 to the Dream Theater and all their fans. 🍀🥂🍀.
this song is so emotional . spirit carries on was my favourite but this one is really different . what a perfect ballad Mr.Petrucci . thank you guys , love you.
En los peores momentos, Dream theater me hace volver a la vida y sonreír con obras maestras como esta canción. De verdad que los amo ❤
2:36 Instantly I knew my life had changed ❤
I feel like more comfortable with Labrie's voice in this song, than the other DT songs
everyone has their opinion but me? I love this side of DT! I have high respect for every member of the group. they are all great musicians
This song make me cry in the end
The Astonishing is the only one album ever that can make me feel like in another world life. So peacefull and calm. Just like dream world. And kinda make me feel getting closer with God. Seems like i want to bring my lovely people to get in to it. Thanks my favorite musician.
i keep listening this song and track #4 over and over again
I really love this song, every part of this song is beautiful, the melody and sound of each instruments are clearly detail and so nice.... I think, I already repeat this song hundreds of times since I bought the album, I love all DT songs or albums, each album has its own character and always surprising..... can't wait for the next new album.......
One of my favourites on the album
Ternyata album astonishing banyak lagu ballad yg emosional ya🥲

" You make my world so Colorful" by Daniel Sahuleka
I did't notice the ending as the melody is absolutely greatttt!!
Great song
The whole song is great, but that ending is truly special. It was an extra something that they wanted us to hear.
Why is the bell part so short? :C
Why is everything on this album so short? :C
Something that amazing and uplifting really needs more than a puny 12-bars-then-dramatic-slowdown...

This is a christian song, and it absolutely slams! 🔥

A mais linda do álbum, cheio de tantas baladas. Lembra um pouco moon safari. Demais.
i really wish they could have extended the melody at 3:15-3:36 that part is fucking beautiful
+oldGnRrocks1 Totally agree.
+oldGnRrocks1 When I first listened to that part I was so happy, but then so sad because it was too short :C
1:12 Brian May's - Last horizon motif!!
The music industry represents the NOMAC army, Dream Theater is Gabriel and MTV is Nafaryus.
