Magnum Opus 23:08

'We can learn
From the past
But those days
Are gone
We can hope
For the future
But there might not be one'

Sound familiar? It has to but only if you are a Dream Theater fanatic. :P Jus' kidding.
These are a part of the lyrics from DT's mind blowing, astounding,incomparable.. (the list goes on) creation called ' A Change of Seasons'. Fondly known as 23:08 in DT fan circles.

This is the one all time favorite song for me not only from DT's stable but also from amongst all the other bands I've listened to till date. The weight will tilt in DT's favour here .There is so much in this song that moving away from it is just unthinkable. I often wonder how I haven't got tired of this master piece after innumerable times of listening to it. :)

I must say.. the start by John Petrucci , the lyrics by Portnoy, the awesome singing by Labrie and Myung's perfect bass accompaniment all topped off by Rudess' keyboards are just the things that make this song perfect in all ways. For all you people who haven't listened to this song my advice would be listen NOW. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may!

'A change of Seasons' is the most indescribable song I've ever heard. Simply because it takes you through a whole gamut of emotions in those 23:08 minutes. I will not tire of writing about this master piece. But, then words sometimes don't do justice to its greatness. Listen to it and you will agree.

In one word 'A Change of Seasons' is Incredible
