Have to admit this. This song actually changed my life. I was in a bad way, situation. Heard the song, lyrics etc...my eyes, mind opened. Glad they did
@@simonwilliams3564 I’ve been on a huge kick with this song lately. It’s just so damn beautiful…sad…haunting like the other commentator said. That’s awesome to hear it had a whole different kind of impact on you. Power of music 🤘🏻
I was once troubled in life in a bad way! As a great fan of Queensryche this song saved me from death at my own hand! The greatest thing of this band is knowing life! Thank you Queensryche since this song you saved a life birthed a child and a grandchild in my life!
This song is so deep! It's amazing and a true masterpiece. Geoff's voice gives you chills. Thank you for years of amazing music. I'm a Queensryche fan for life. I hope and pray for a reunion. Maybe a tour????
Angelic voice! Magical piano! Lyrics beyond this world! Whenever I need guidance or motivation, this song gives me the boost i'm looking for, to keep on fighting in this absolut battle, called : LIFE...
Queensryche played this as last song on the Promised Land tour in 95. It was amazing and a perfect end to the concert. Ive seen them a couple of times after that over the years but they never came close to that tour and they never will. It was perfect.
Even if many Queensrÿche songs are masterpieces, for me Silent lucidity remains the best.. with this one. When you find something so close to your inner feelings and that tells so much of your own life you can only get astonished
I seen Queensryche twice.They have there own sound.That`s what make`s a Band great.Don`t believe there ever will have a cover band,that will do Queensryche.
I love the piano on this song. One of the most beautiful ballads I have heard. "All my life they said I was going down, but I'm still standing, stronger, proud. And today I know there's so much more I can be I think I finally understand"
Ive been going through the toughest time of my life recently. I can’t find anybody who cares enough to give me a shoulder to lean on. Listening to Geoff’s music is the only thing i still find joy in doing. Im lucky I found this song when I did, its giving me something to enjoy in the roughest time of my life. I feel so alone every day, but I have this music here to help me. Thank you Geoff for keeping me sane! Keeping my faith in God that times will change and Ill be happy again someday, hopefully soon
I hope you are doing better than you were 5 months ago. Music has a way of getting us through the hard times and this song reaches our souls. I'm sorry you feel alone. If I were around, you could surely cry on my shoulder. What has gotten me through the hardest times in my life are music and animals. If you have pets, that is wonderful. If not, and you are able to get a couple, they are so amazing and show unconditional love. I would even suggest volunteering at a reputable animal rescue/ adoption center. It is very fulfilling to take care of and socialize animals in need. It fills that hole in your heart. Volunteering to help people is also great therapy, but can be very different from helping animals. I truly hope that you can find something and/or someone to fill that void in your soul if you haven't yet. Keep fighting. People do care. ❤
I've seen Queensryche 7 or 8 time live and they always deliver a kick ass show. Ive never seen another band who sounds like the album live like they do they are always perfect.I've seen over 300 shows from Hank Jr to Slayer but these guys can't be topped for live sound, Well maybe Pink Floyd sounds just as good.
This AWESOME great beautiful song just takes u AWAY. Incredible MUSIC playing by Chris. The metal voice Geoff. Just flawless. I could listen to this song all day all night.
When I was like 18 I had a buddy that was like 30 and struggling with meth and alcohol and he turned me onto this band and I love them so much. I'm 35 now and have a family and lost touch with my friend years ago but I still listen to their songs and it brings me back to the old days and I hope he made something of his self
This song is simply perfection. It reaches into your soul. I have loved Queensryche (original lineup) since the late 80's. They were one of the greatest bands ever and Geoff Tate is one of the greatest singers of any genre ever. His voice has a way of affecting you deeply. Someone Else is a very, very special song. I am moved every time I hear it.
The original Ryche still crushes everything. The only other band that can compete with the OG Ryche in songwriting is a post-punk experimental rock band called This Heat. The bands wrote the most mind-expanding thought-provoking musical lyrics.
1 of the most beautiful most truthful songs you will ever hear. this song always when i think of relapsing i think of this song, cause yesterday that was someone else not me. heading down was my destiny i made shour it wasent, and is a strugle to stay in the right path, but when you got songs like this to remind you about the bad direction i was heading, but iam still standing stronger and proud and today i know there so much more i could be.
wayne faille i love this song so much, i don't know if i like this version or other one more. after black sabbath and iron maiden queensryche is my 3rd favorite band but with geoff tate, i think from there first album to this album promised land queensryche was as great as any band out there but after this album i probaly only like maybe like 10 of there songs.
IRON BLACK SABBATH MAIDEN your strong for speaking out and honestly brother. We all have points in life where we hit walls. The trick is like rocky says... Keep moving forward... Get off your knees and keep moving forward cos that's what makes you a winner... Because you keep trying. And learn as you go
I love this song, no band and no singer today comes close to the resonace and depth that these guys have...I saw The Promised Land tour in San Antonio Texas and it was soo amazing!!...I will be a Queensryche fan till the day I die!!!
Been a "Ryche" fan from the beginning. Always to me ,have their music & lyrics been an inspiration, sad that not everyone "gets"/"understands" what their about. Good to know that some people understand the feeling/meaning of a song like this really is. I thank the powers that be for letting me understand . Believe me, not everyone understands the the meaning/feeling of music like this. If you do "get", Queensryche. Consider yourself one of the Gifted.
This song reminds me of my dad who passed by when I was 16. Both of my parents had to survive world war II in occupied Europe, each in their own way. My mother used to live in a family with 7 kids, mother was widow during the war. A matter of begging and stealing to survive. My parents were 50 and 42 at the day of my birth in 1971, dad had a trauma of WWII, he hardly spoke. Saw him dying unconscient after an operation which his heart could not support no more after a few attacks. He went visiting my mother in the hospital on Christmas day, got a problem and had to stay, passed by the 30th of December. The silent man with the scars and so much unspoken suggestions. It's like he's still there in your mind, and sometimes you conversate with him, and you dream the answers that he would give. That's the other song: I sit here on the brook of a broken tree, by my side a distinguished man, who's giving me encouragment, telling me I can This part is like a narrative about my dad When I fell from grace I never realized how deep the flood was around me. A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil, and the water left scars on me.
Chris B ...God bless you brother......I have been hearing this in the back of my mind now for about a week...It is def a spiritual sign....I come from a savage drug addiction of Heroin & Crystal Meth...I just decide to look this up today with the lyrics and I started to cry and give thanks to the creator or my God. Because without him I would not of made my change for the light!!! Geoff Tate I am so grateful for you and your new band Operation Mindcrime...As well as Queensryche for Todd La Torre....both great bands still with different lead singers. I pray for all those who are caught in Addiction to be strong and to know there is NOTHING there but lies and deception...You know that already so except God and come back to a real way of life....I have CRAWLED from hell....Only to RUN to heaven...Dios Te Bendiga...
The first version I ever heard of this song was the full band version. I instantly connected with it but this version is so much better. The stripped-down sound of just the voice and piano is hauntingly beautiful.
The dynamically organic musical chemistry of Queensrÿche’s original lineup will NEVER be surpassed by any other configuration of musicians. The süm is greater than the collection of it’s parts.
Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you first here a song it does not get your attention or mean anything to you, and it takes awile before you really like it?..well from the first time I heard this years ago I almost went into a trance and felt the emotion welling tears up into my eyes before the song was even finished.when Geoff says..and from somewhere deep in my mind, sirens sing outloud songs of doubt as only they know how. I knew then my sirens was my own voice.
Music makes me feel young again I wish I could have realized in what a beautiful time we were living in when I listen to this music it resonates to my whole body Tate's voice still is to me undoubtedly one of the impressive I've ever heard
Chris and Geoff hit this one out of the park. BEAUTIFUL
Christ it’s still so good after all these years. Geoff was awesome. Chills.
Best ballad ever made. Music, lyrics and The beautiful voice of Geoff.
Chris is a musical prodigy. Geoff is a vocal prodigy. Enough said.
There is no song that's more hauntingly beautiful than this. If it doesn't give you chills you're not human.
i agree, this is my 1st choice also ...... but, search RAINBOW tearin out my heart
Absolutely !! Beautiful Song 💖
I would be more than happy if this were played at my funeral
Have to admit this. This song actually changed my life. I was in a bad way, situation. Heard the song, lyrics etc...my eyes, mind opened. Glad they did

❤️
This is the song that made me fall in love with Queensryche
I love this album
Good fucking song
You were late to the party, but glad u came...
Silent lucidity was mine. ❤️
Lady wore black was mine
This song is so deep! It's amazing and a true masterpiece. Geoff's voice gives you chills. Thank you for years of amazing music. I'm a Queensryche fan for life. I hope and pray for a reunion. Maybe a tour????
So many killer songs from a great band but for some reason this one goes deep in my soul
One of most inspirational song ever!
Genius band and perfect singer that I've ever known ❤
One of the most underrated albums in the history of metal imho. Perhaps because it wasn't "pure" metal.
A true masterpiece.
Absolutely masterpiece
I don't think you need to classify it. One of the most underrated albums period, ever. Masterpiece.
One of the best albums of time, holy fucking hell
One of the greatest voices ever 🎼🎸🤘 never will be another like him thank Mr Tate for all the great memories
One of the best singers of this lifetime and this Earth keep on rocking my brother Queen's Rych and Geoff Tate
Angelic voice!
Magical piano!
Lyrics beyond this world!
Whenever I need guidance or motivation, this song gives me the boost i'm looking for, to keep on fighting in this absolut battle, called : LIFE...
I don't think I have ever heard such a beautiful song. This guy was born to sing! Best vocalist I've ever heard.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded!!
The words strike a chord in my soul and Geoff's voice gives me chills! ,,🥄❤️
It's just amazing me the voice of Geoff.... Masterpiece.
Geoff's talent has always been underrated. His lyrics are timeless as his haunting voice.
A masterpiece..... Degarmo was a genius artist....
Those lyrics. Wow!
One of the greatest songs ever written...
Epic song. Has meant a lot for me in times of trouble. And times of big and needed transformation.
The BEST VOICE of All The Time.
Absolutely
Yup! I agree and justin bieber too!
Definitely My favorite voice of all time.
him or frank ocean
To me, he WAS fantastic. But I lean more to Rob Halford, Warrell Dane, and Mike Patton
If not the best, definitely one of the best Queensryche songs ever. Geoff T. is a voice that can't be replaced.
I love Geoff Tate! He will forever & always be the voice that comforts my soul! Absolutely my favorite!!!🖤
No words
That voice 😍
One of the best songs ever. A master piece.
Love this song. Geoff´s voice, DeGarmo playing the piano. Deep lyrics. All perfect.
LUCAS...... YEAH!!!!
Geoff & DeGarmo is Queensryche...No the same without out them.
One of my favorite Queensryche songs EVER!
This album was OK. But certainly not in the class of the Warning or Operation Mindcrime.
it always bring me into tears, i only listen to it whenever i am alone. full band version is the best.
Saw him live for a week ago. Still got one of the best voices ever.
Queensryche played this as last song on the Promised Land tour in 95. It was amazing and a perfect end to the concert. Ive seen them a couple of times after that over the years but they never came close to that tour and they never will. It was perfect.
One of the greatest songs ever written... true !
The only band that could record the sound-track to the Bible... Chew-on that for a while...
This song is a reflection of my life.
I have loved this band since the first time I heard them and I believe this is one of the greatest songs ever. Thanks guys for giving us your music
lyrics are powerful,the piano is poetic,beautiful.wow
How could anyone thumbs down this song?....
Even if many Queensrÿche songs are masterpieces, for me Silent lucidity remains the best.. with this one. When you find something so close to your inner feelings and that tells so much of your own life you can only get astonished
Incredible song! So underrated, just like the whole Promised Land album. Every single song is wonderful on Promised Land. Love Queensryche.
This song was my lifeline during a really dark time in 1995. I almost died and it helped me recover.
Heavenly music...
Angelic voice...
Lyrics beyond this world...
Now,this is what i call, "motivating song"
beautiful song, Queensryche's ballads makes me just cry.
I seen Queensryche twice.They have there own sound.That`s what make`s a Band great.Don`t believe there ever will have a cover band,that will do Queensryche.
Haunting vocal, perfect for Geoff, and no one else.
I love the piano on this song. One of the most beautiful ballads I have heard.
"All my life they said I
was going down,
but I'm still standing,
stronger, proud.
And today I know there's
so much more I can be
I think I finally understand"
1 of my very Favorites. Could listen to all their songs all day... Even with a Bottle of Good 🍷
After all these years, this song still reminds where I stand and accompanies me through my life. And, still shivers run down my back when I here it.
My God!! Thank you, beautiful music, lyrics, everything's perfect. What a voice from Mr. Geoff Tate. I think I'll go cry...
What a beautiful song

ONE OF THE BEST VOICES..GEOFF..
La fortuna di avere una voce straordinaria e saperla usare.Tecnica straordinaria,davvero bravo,ha fatto scuola,per me sempre il Numero Uno.
Geoff has the Voice of a Angel.

Had!
mike11pisano Saw them in May 2017 the Empire hits sounded identical to the CD. And the earlier catalog also was SPOT on....
@@vlodpg bite me superstar
Mark Mark it’s the sad truth, too bad you can’t handle it!
I thought the same way , but low and behold there is another Geoff Tate . The new queensryghe singer . But I'm always loyal to Geoff .
Absolutely one of their best songs
One of my favorite bands of all time thank you queensryche

So much heart in his music. It really comes through. Thanks for the music Geoff Tate. Been there when nobody else was

Awesome song 😎
Geoff Tate will always be Queensryche to me. Saw this live in San Antonio all those yrs ago and it blew me away. Still does.
WOW!! That’s Deep!!❤️
One of my favorite songs in the world
You can't beat this 🙏
ME!
The blue ghost!
Better than the full band version
You got taste.
Excellent song with tons of feelings

the pain of this beautiful piece of music makes me feel less alone
no words to describe such a masterpiece
wow what a great song by Queensryche !!!
The mix of past and future is haunting in implication. Brilliant lyrical architecture
Would love to find a HD Wallpaper sized version of that image! So beautiful and haunting; perfect match for the song.

Ive had all their albums. Grew up w/queensrche. saw them live in 85-86. Awesome voice.
I absolutely agree with you Sheryl 100%
Gary Miotke that was probably their finest years Jeff was just on fire so was the band
@@garymiotke3699 Best two years in Geoff history, no doubt there was when his voice was at his peak.
Unfortunately I have never heard that before. It's beautiful.
They played this song when I saw them in 1995. Beautiful song \m/
