Erotomania *cough cough*

Well Erotomania is pretty much the intro to A Mind Beside Itself...

my god i luv you guys❤

The John Myung Man

THANK YOU MIKE PRINDER YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOT

Rudess turned to that old man

Just so beautiful!!

Is this song about social anxiety?

Good old days that even an acoustic song has their own guitar solos.

john petruci backing vocal is amazing

The silent man = John Myung

Lol hella funny

Amazing Vocals

A question well served,
'Is silence like a fever?'
'A voice never heard?'
'Or a message with no receiver?'

Pray they won't ask
Behind the stained glass
There's always one more mask

Has man been a victim
of his woman, of his father?
if he elects not to bother,
will he suffocate their faith?

Desperate to fall
Behind the Great Wall
That separates us all

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
when there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man

If there is balance
tonight He's Awake
If they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man

Sin without deceivers
A God with no believers
I could sail by
on the Winds of Silence
And maybe they won't notice
But this time I think
It'd be better if I swim

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
When there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man
If there is balance
Tonight he's Awake
But if they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man

I find it interesting how the next song on Awake is called The Mirror.

Beautiful song.

2019 April...anyone?

Amento Awomi ami pi huni ase bro😂👏🏻

@Renbi Patton etu ase..bhuni😜👍👍

Lagu kesukaan ku

Silent followers 😅

too bad the old man shattered that beautiful mirror. would be a priceless artifact today... Awake fans would be bidding millions!

Thank God SFAM become a hit. I think it was either Petrucci or Portnoy who said that if SFAM also failed DT would be disbanded. The market wasn’t good for Awake (or Falling into Infinity?) so SFAM was their last chance. The rest is history.

It's a great tune. The thing about these guys is that they can write songs...

2019 anyone?

Ah yes, the video where they unboxed Rudess

Beatiful song
Super rola DREAM THEATER super band se te extraña Mike Pornoy

Very cool John myung can both play the guitar and the bass

Dont let this muside elude you to the FACT that in 1994 Mankind through Jimmy superfly schnooka off the top of the cage into the announcers table and that was just part of the hell that was the cage match...no man was silent that day...Dream Theaterrrr...

needs more likes

1:53 - 2:17
Truly inspired by Led Zeppelin stuff, especially The Rain Song

Haha! Good ears!

I thought the exact same thing while I was listening

2:21 unusual guitar (bass inspired) strumming technique by Myung, :)

I can’t help but think this song’s about JM

Excuse my ignorance, but who is JM?

@Michel Tanaka bassist John Myung

😂😂 the Silent Man 🤣

Seems to be about social anxiety

Best of the Best !!!

Doesn’t Portnoy look thrilled to be playing the Tamborine hahahaha

Spiral out!

He was sick that day he had the flu or something

Amazing dynamics and atmosphere in this song. Brilliant! Please come back 80’s hard rock and metal. Our music sucks today!!!

I cant explain with words how much i love this song

I hear ya on that one!

Same my bro I feel the same. Been human a song hits you and that's that.

Always been one of my favorite tunes from DT.

I remember Mike Portnoy saying that when they did this video, he was not feeling good at all. He said he either had the flu or a stomach bug. You can tell he looks like he doesn't feel good in the video too.

Drums and Trains I’m reading an authorized biography about them currently and it says how mike was going to co-direct it but got violently ill the day of recording to when we wasn’t on set he was in his tour bus bunk because he was so sick.

Nice song

Beautiful Song!!!!! Acabou o horário de Verão aqui hoje....Essa canção me faz relembrar...

They were so young :(

James was sexy. And still is!

come una madonna!

@Domenico Rana if only he had the voice as sexy as the looks.

hey look noones commented in 7 years, hmmph

Lil Jesus hec

Lil Jesus rip

Because for years the comments were closed

@Nettacki really? Probably toxic DT fans arguing over who was better

Recordando parte del camino

The best one

Where's Kevin Moore??

Dmn Hrn
I think it's a music video that he shot after he withdrew

Yea, it was shot after he left, as the video for lie was also.

first comment in seven years!

Salamander Man there was a bunch of silent men for 7 years

respect what a nice song am sat here at 5.25 waiting for my daughter to be born.hope it all is well so can just need chilled at home together and hopefully live a happy life.peace my bro 🙋

mike portnoy has abandoned dream theater.

The Dream Theater uses the Jordan Rudess' father in this video clip???
hahahahahahhhahhaha

Canal SimplesMente hahahaha

c mamo xd

@SuperdudeFlexiRandom i play bass and dindnt start with guitar but its about what you like by yourself

When did JMX play guitar? :O

Ive listened to this band since i was so young. Listening to them in the car with my mom is just so peaceful plus me and my mom can bond :)

@iclone18476 He can play both. Really you're suppose to learn guitar before bass so learning is easier but eh everyone's different.

cool video

For a second I thought that was Jordan in the mirror... but then I realized what album this was from.

mike portnoy: shaker/ tambourine player of the year

Nádhernej hlas....♫♫♥♥♥

@stephenayers42 So you should listen to Another Day, from Images & Words.

@madamespaulding guitar guitar!!!! He's playing a Hamer it looks like

yes, and actually if you watch the silent man live on scenes from NY you can see petrucci singing

@wenser13

Guitar or 6 string bass?

@Thor962 You could check out the live version of this song, in the concert "Awake In Japan". They play this exactly like the studio version, including Myung playing guitar =D

@mitalca35 Yep :)

1:48 - John Myung playing an ELECTRIC guitar?!?

Alexander Leach Ahahaha maybe the bass was broken

There's no bass in the song so in the video he's playing the second guitar.

There´s a bass on some parts, but there are also 3 accoustic guitars at times.

@roddas71

he's a monday morning lunatic disturbed from time to time when will he break out of his solitary shell.

Honestly, I was really pissed off before watching this video... now... I feel very peaceful. Honestly, only a song by Dream Theater can do this for me.

It was a joke you douche, chill out

hahaha that's awesome! I've never heard of that.

lol he actually tackled LaBrie after a concert cause an audience member bet him that he wouldnt do it because he was quiet. ended up winning $100 lol

well this is part 3 of "A Mind Beside Itself", but this is the correct length of The Silent Man.

I think this song's title was inspired by John Myung lol

You're right ahahahah :D

Madhouse255 he wrote the lyrics for himself

Madhouse255 nah, illuminatti

Lmao i same

@gangsterthomas1000 lmao. Good catch.

John Myung on acoustic guitar!

goddamn great video quality for a great song.
