Favourite Band?
1: Dream Theater
2: They are very technical and progressive. Almost classical, yet METAL. Everyone in the band is just...way too good at what they do.
3: Octavarium is my favourite album right now because it was so thought out and GENIUS! There are eight songs on the album, averaging about fifteen minutes each. The first song is in the key of F, the next song is in the key of G, the next is in the key of A, etc. The final song is the octave, also in the key of F.
4: Currently, my favourite song is The Ministry of Lost Souls, on the album Systematic Chaos. It's just a very visual song, and complex in musical composition.
5: Some grand lyrics are from Octavarium, from the album... Octavarium...
"(Root)
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
(Second)
Asking questions, search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you
(Third)
Try to break through, long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
(Fourth)
Loyalty, trust, faith, and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
(Fifth)
Tortured Insanity; a smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
(Sixth)
The calls of admirers who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
(Seventh)
Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
(Octave)
Step after step, we try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late"
I'd love very much to ramble on about the complexity and depth of those lyrics, but I've typed quite enough as it is.
