這次介紹一個progressive metal的重量級代表樂團--dream theater(dt)
開始之前先來說說什麼叫做"progressive metal"吧
簡單來說前衛金屬是一種將樂器演奏技巧和樂理發揮到極致
富有深度意境歌詞的重金屬樂派
通常樂曲沒有一定標準的模式 節拍和曲速在歌曲中會不停的變換
而且常常會加入一些比較特殊拍子設計
音樂的進行利用不同的拍子組合而成
有各式各樣的變化形式 所以樂器演奏的複雜性與困難度非常高
典型的前衛金屬並不是單純一首一首歌的組合
而是以一個中心概念做為整張專輯的意象
提供一個非常廣闊的想像思考空間
所以歌詞比較抽象不太容易讓人理解

為什麼會接觸到dt是有原因的 大學偶意外加入了樂隊打擊組
而dt聞名世界的鼓手mike剛好是偶們教學錄影帶的模範
當偶第一次透過dvd看到他的示範真的是嘆為觀止:p:p
沒有華麗的表演噱頭 有的只是基本動作的熟練技巧
那種深深的共鳴讓偶感動了好久好久:):)

dt成立於1980年代中期
由來自於boston著名berklee music college的john petrucci(guitar)
mike portnoy(drum) john myung(bass)三位
再加上kevin moore(keyboard)所組成
87年charlie dominici加入擔任主唱
11月發行了第一張專輯
極佳的音樂性和技巧性展露出dt特有的特色 可惜這張專輯叫好不叫座
主唱的音色和實力沒辦法與dt所要求的音樂契合 於是被迫離開
一直到91年james labrie加入樂團
出色的音色和厚實的嗓音與dt成為完美的搭配
到這裡dt算是有了最完整的陣容:):)

能夠將故事情節與音樂充分結合
技巧與旋律的流暢性能兼容並蓄的前衛搖滾實在是很少
一旦故事的腳本確立之後 對白也差不多就定型了
這時候樂曲的流暢性就會變得非常重要
92年的專輯推出後獲得相當大的迴響
不僅將樂團的聲望帶到最高峰 也正式宣告前衛金屬時代的來臨
94年的可以說是dt向自我極限挑戰的一張高成就藝術作品
這張專輯的推出更確立了dt在前衛金屬樂界的領導地位
不過可惜的是8月keyboard手kevin因為個人原因離開了dt
後來加入的derek sherinian個人風格與整個樂團有很大的差異
97年10月推出了第五張專輯
跟dt以前的作品比較起來 這一張專輯的風格改變很大
不再完全只重視樂器編曲與技巧的高複雜度
反而更加重了整體氣氛的營造與旋律的優美感
專輯推出受到了兩極化的極端評價
可惜不是所有的樂迷都能夠接受這樣的改變
之後沉寂了一段時間 mike與petrucci趁著空檔
找了king crimson的tony levin(bass)
dixie dregs的jordan rudess(keyboard)
四個人合組了一個project團體---liquid tension experiment
並且推出了同名的演奏專輯意外大受好評
為了整個樂團發展空間的考量 jordan正式取代derek加入了dt:):)

99年發行了dt新生後的第一張作品
再次引爆前衛金屬樂界極大的震撼
dt等於完成了一張具有完整概念的前衛金屬歌劇(metallic opera)
同時與the who的 pink floyd的
以及queensryche的併稱為搖滾界四大歌劇:):)

樂團成員偶只特別介紹mike 理由是因為對他比較熟悉:):)
全名michael stephen portnoy 1967/4/20生於new york的long beach
從小就開始對音樂有興趣 加上爸爸是dj的關係所以聽過很多種音樂
mike一開始打鼓全是自己摸索的 高中修過一些音樂方面的課程
後來憑著不錯的成績申請獎學金進入了有名的berklee music college
大學期間組合成立了dream theater
除了dt之外 另外還兼任兩個project樂團
(liquid tension experiment與transatlantic)
也曾經當選過mondern drummer top ten的鼓手

除了個人背景之外偶還特別想介紹的是他的配備
一般人頂多一個大鼓 配合雙踏
他的大鼓居然就放了三個 這是非常難的
mike打鼓只靠幾種簡單的概念像是拆拍 變拍 怪拍 雙大等等來組合
但是這對編鼓來說實在是很好用的概念
也是他最讓人嘖嘖稱奇的地方:):)
他很擅長在歌曲加裝飾點
使得節奏聽起來很花但又不失主要節奏點的本質
技巧在變拍方面的表現真的很出神入化 棒透了~~
打鼓的時候他的左腳幾乎都是放在另外一個大鼓的踏板上
想當初偶為了雙踏 左腳還練習了好一陣子@_@
常常會聽到他的過門很流暢 訣竅就是在於他的雙腳
一起和手穿插過門節拍就可以填得很滿了
再加上大鼓收音收得好 聽起來真的是順阿~~

這次介紹整張專輯

專輯中的五位故事主角
1.hypnotherapist
催眠師 主導nicholas的全程催眠治療 也是整張專輯的主要人物

2.nicholas
經常為夢境困擾的男主角 終日惶惶不安
不得已求助於催眠治療 回到前世一探究竟

3.victoria page
nicholas的前生 因為男朋友julian嗜賭成癮
在灰心之餘讓ed乘虛而入 形成了一段三角戀情引來殺生之禍

4.julian baynes(sleeper)
victoria的男朋友 因為沉迷於賭博而死得不明不白 這裡稱為sleeper

5.senator edward baynes(miracle)
julian的弟弟 在victoria傷心無助的情況下給了"奇蹟"似的安慰
而且"奇蹟"似的得到victoria的芳心 所以這邊稱miracle

故事的大綱大概說一下
起源於男主角nicholas經年累月為同一個夢境所困擾
他知道事出必有因 或許與前世的因果有關
於是求助於催眠治療 經由催眠師多次的催眠
nicholas終於解開了謎底...

01.Regression
lyrics by john petrucci

Close your eyes and begin to relax.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
Concentrate on your breathing.
With each breath you become more relaxed.
Imagine a brilliant white light above you,
focusing on this light as it flows through your body.
Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind.
Now as I count backward from ten to one,
you will feel more peaceful, and calm.
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
If at any time you need to come back,
all you must do is open your eyes.
One......

"滴滴答答.......
閉上你的雙眼 開始放鬆 深呼吸 再慢慢的吐氣
集中精神在你的呼吸上 隨著每一次的呼吸將使你越來越放鬆
想像一下你的頭頂上有一道白光罩在你身上 而且貫穿你的全身
你將會慢慢的睡著 越睡越熟 越睡越熟 逐漸的進入更放鬆狀態
當我開始倒數時你會感到祥和與平靜
10 9 8 7 6...
你將到達一個安詳的地方 那裡沒有什麼能傷害你
5 4 3 2...
如果任何時間你想醒過來 只要張開你的雙眼就好了
1......"

這時候nicholas進入了催眠狀態 而且到了一個他從沒有到過的境界

(nicholas)
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My subconscious mind
Starts spinning through time
To rejoin the past once again

Nothing seems real
I'm starting to feel
Lost in the haze of a dream

And as I draw near
The scene becomes clear
Like watching my life on a screen

Hello Victoria so glad to see you
My friend.

(nicholas)
"我安詳的置身於被強光環繞的地方 完全沒有恐懼與痛苦
我的潛意識開始隨著時光旋轉 再次回到我的過去
我開始感覺到所有的事物似乎都是虛幻的 迷失在朦朧的睡夢中
當我逐漸靠近 場景變得更清晰
如同透過螢光幕觀看我的生命一樣
哈囉 victoria
我的朋友 真高興我們又碰面了"


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
一開始是催眠師對患者的一段催眠口白
透過第一首"regression"對這個故事的源起和背景作了一段開場白:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

02.Overture 1928
(Instrumental)
第二首"Overture 1928"將故事回朔到1928年 事件發生當時的時代背景
隨著mike的鼓聲由小逐漸變大 很漂亮的營造了被催眠者進入夢境的場景
節奏急促而且經過多次節拍與樂段的轉換
可以聽到petrucci的電吉他與jordon的keyboard配合的很完美
petrucci經過了一些project樂團的試驗跟練習 手法也更純熟
而mike的鼓更是從頭到尾一直緊迫跟隨
john的bass更是不甘勢弱 如影隨行緊跟著mike的鼓點
這首序曲為這場複雜曲折的三角戀情做了最佳的開場詮釋:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

03.Strange Deja Vu
lyrics by mike portnoy

(nicholas)
Subconscious Strange Sensation
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I can't wait to get there again

Every time I close my eyes
There's another vivid surprise
Another whole life's waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading

Closer now- Slowly coming into view
I've arrived- Blinding sunshine beaming through

There's a house I'm drawn to
Familiar settings nothing new
There's a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air

There's a room at the top of the stairs
Every night I'm drawn up there
There's a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child won't you tell me why I'm here?

In her eyes- I sense a story never told
Behind the disguise- There's something tearing
At her soul

(victoria)
Tonight I've been searching for it
A feeling that's deep inside me
Tonight I've been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew

(nicholas)
Back on my feet again
Eyes open to the real world
Metropolis surrounds me
The mirror's shattered the girl

Why is this other life
Haunting me every day
I'd break through to the other side
If only I'd find the way

Something's awfully familiar
The feeling's so hard to shake
Could I have lived in that other world
It's a link that I'm destined to make

I'm still searching but I don't know what for
The missing key to unlock my mind's door

Today I am searching for it
A feeling that won't go away
Today I am searching for it
The only one I know
Trying to break free

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my soul into two
I'm not the one I thought I always knew

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Uncanny, Strange Deja Vu
But I don't mind- I hope to find the truth

(nicholas)
"潛意識裏 一種奇妙的感覺 完全無意識的放鬆 多麼舒適的夢魘
我迫不及待的渴望再一次進入這種境界
每當我閉上雙眼(接受催眠治療) 總有另一種強烈的震驚
似乎有另一個生命在等待著我 如同一個褪色卻未完成的章節
逐漸淡入 慢慢的進入了視界 我進入一個陽光強到令人睜不開眼睛的境界
我被吸引到一個熟悉的房子 有一條羊腸小徑通到這裏
房子周遭寒氣縈繞 房內樓梯通往頂樓的房間
每天晚上 夢境皆將我牽引至此 鏡中的少女 容貌更加清晰
小女孩 妳是否能夠告訴我 我何因來此
從她的眼神 我感應到一個未曾為人所知的故事
在外表的偽裝下 有一段不可告人的故事在拉扯她的靈魂
　
(victoria)
今夜 我探尋內心深層的感覺
今夜我探索那不為人知的一段 企圖解放自己
我好無助 我感覺頭暈目眩 我的內心有如被一撕為二
我並不是sleeper(Julian)所知道的那種人

(nicholas)
恢復了知覺 睜開雙眼重返現實的世界 圍繞著我的是大都會景觀
鏡中的女孩 弄得我心煩意亂
為什麼會有另一個生命每天在糾纏著我
只有找到出路我才能突破這個困境
某些事物是那麼的面熟 那種感覺好難甩掉
我是否曾經活在另一個世界 這是否和我命中註定的困擾有所關聯
我一直尋尋覓覓 卻不知開啟我心靈這扇大門的鑰匙是什麼
今天我必須去探求答案 這種感覺揮之不去
今天我必須去探索那位企圖解放自己的少女
我好無助 感覺頭昏腦脹 心被撕成兩半
真正的我似乎不像外表所看到的那麼單純
我好無助 感到頭暈目眩 奇怪陌生卻似曾相識的感覺
但是我並不在意 只希望能解開事實的真相"


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第三首"strange deja-vu" 陌生卻又似曾相識的感覺
deja-vu是法文 似曾相識的意思
nicholas經由催眠治療進入前世 體會到當時victoria的感覺
歌詞描寫的是nicholas自身的感覺 前半段是他在催眠夢境中的feeling
而後半段是nicholas返回現實世界的時候
對夢境中見到的事物和目前自己的身心狀況做比對之後的一種反思
而victoria的歌詞是nicholas在催眠時感應到victoria當時的身心狀況:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

04.Through My Words
lyrics by john petrucci

(nicholas)
All your eyes have ever seen
All you've ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
I spoken through my words

All that I take with me
Is all you've left behind
We're sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break

(nicholas)
"所有妳目光接觸過的景物 乃至妳所聽過的一切
都深深的刻在我的記憶 經由我的言行揭露出來
我身所蘊藏的 正是妳遺留下來的一切
我們擁有同一個靈魂 卻活在兩個不同的神識
以一條無窮盡的線連接在一起 牢不可破"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
一首鋼琴小品 曲子雖然簡短 卻是底下兩首歌的引子:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

05.Fatal Tragedy
lyrics by john myung

(nicholas)
Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams

When I sleep at night
I hear the cries
What does this mean?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night;

"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"
Victoria's gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today

I tried to get more answers
But he said, "You're on your own."
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, "You'll know the truth
As you future days unfold"

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

(nicholas)
"一個人孤獨的在深夜裏 一種奇怪的感覺趨使我去尋找夢境的答案
當夜晚來臨 睡夢中聽到哭聲 這到底代表什麼涵意
我關上大門 造訪另一個家
我遇到一位獨居老人 我覺得他是信得過的
在這一夜 他告訴我過去所發生的一切
小伙子 你可知道這曾有位姑娘被謀殺
這個命運的悲劇被世人談論多年
victoria已永離世間 留下來的唯有人們的記憶

沒有愛與真實 無法面對現實的世界
缺乏信心與希望 無法獲得內心的平靜"
(前一句的意思是nicholas知道除非了解victoria的真相
否則他會因為每晚的夢魘而無法在現實生活中安穩生活
後面這一句話則是給自己加油打氣 要勇敢
有信心 抱著希望 謎底終將解開)

我企圖找尋更多的答案 但是催眠師告訴我
所有的答案都在你身上
他轉身離去 留下我一個人獨自站在那兒
臨走前他告訴我 在未來的日子裏
當你所有的過去都展開時 你將明白事實的真相"

(hypnotherapist)
Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition.

(催眠師)
"該是讓你明白那時你是如何死去的時候了
記住 死亡不是終結 那是生命的一種轉換"


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
延續上一首鋼琴小曲表現出nicholas在深夜裏的孤獨的感覺
無助的思索解不開謎團的一段抒情樂曲之後
曲子急轉直下變成沈重的節拍
背景悠揚的合聲陪襯出令人替victoria婉惜的場景
接著without faith without hope
在mike急促而連續的鼓點引導下轉進到下一個樂段
這一段真是棒到無話可說
keyboard與guitar的對彈 更是噴淚到可圈可點啦~~~~~:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly

06.Beyond This Life
lyrics by john petrucci

(headline)
"Murder, young girl killed
Desperate shooting at Echo's Hill
Dreadful ending, killer died
Evidently suicide."

A witness heard a horrifying sound
He ran to find a woman dead and
Lying on the ground

Standing by her was a man
Nervous, shaking, gun in hand
Witness says he tried to help
But he'd turned the weapon on himself

His body fell across that poor young girl
After shouting out in vain
The witness ran to call for assistance
A sad close to a broken love affair

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

She wanted love forever
But he had another plan
He fell into an evil way
She had to let him down
She said, "I can't love a wayward man."

She may have found a reason to forgive
If he had only tried to change
Was their fatal meeting prearranged?

Had a violent struggle taken place?
There was every sign that lead there
Witness found a switchblade on the ground
Was the victim unaware?
They continued to investigate
They found a note in the killer's pocket
It could have been a suicide letter
Maybe he had lost her love

I feel there's only one thing left to do
I'd sooner take my life away
Than live with losing you

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

All that we learn this time
(What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life

All that we learn this time
(What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are

All that we learn this time
(What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life

All that we learn this time
(What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life

(頭條新聞)
"年輕女孩遇刺身亡 山崗上槍聲響徹雲霄
震憾的結局 凶手自裁身亡
目擊者聽到恐佈的槍響 跑過去看 赫然發現一個女人倒在地上氣絕身亡
站在她身邊的男人緊張顫抖的握著槍
目擊者表示他嚐試制止凶手 而他卻朝自己開槍
狂嘯後倒臥在女孩身旁 一場破碎感情的結局

往事如煙 今世果即是前世因 往事如煙 今世果即是前世因

她盼望永恆的愛，奈何Julian卻另有想法
他沈迷於賭博 她只好棄他於不顧
她說 我無法去愛一個剛愎自用的男人
如果他改過向上 她願意為他找個原諒他的理由

他們的死亡約會是事先安排好的嗎 是否曾經有打鬥呢
每一種徵兆都應證這場情殺 目擊者看到地上有一把彈簧刀
受害者事前沒有警覺到什麼嗎 警方繼續調查
他們發現凶手皮夾裏有個小抄 或許他失戀了 那可能是封自殺的遺書
小抄上面寫著 我想我只能作一件事
與其活著失去妳的愛 不如結束我的生命

往事如煙 今世果即是前世因 往事如煙 今世果即是前世因

我們所了解的是(今世果即是前世因) 今日的我承傳著前世的生命"


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第六首描寫的是nicholas在催眠夢境當中
目睹報紙以victoria的謀殺案為頭條新聞為背景的全程報導~~
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

07.Through Her Eyes
lyrics by john petrucci

(nicholas)
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

Inloving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed

And I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same

She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last

The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes

"在那月光皎潔 決定命運的夜晚 她不曾有任何挽回的機會
毫無反抗下犧牲 成了命運的犧牲品
如今我已全然了解 我曾經置身於一場悲劇當中
一股哀傷油然而生 一切似乎是那麼的不公平
經由她的眼神 我透視了我的前生
毗鄰教堂大門的後院 那兒雜草叢生
看到墓碑上的墓誌銘 我覺得如同要窒息
在我孩子可愛的記憶中 他們張著大眼多麼天真無邪
我因空虛而飲泣 如同死亡的是屬於我的一部份
從她的眼神中 我知道了自己的前世
當她的影像在我的腦海中徘迴時
我哭得像小孩一般 躺在床上無法入眠
我能想像你失去所愛的感覺 如今我的感覺正是如此
她不曾被給予任何機會 絕望奪走了她的生命
我有老婆 孩子 在這一生當中老天爺賜予我這麼多
在我的前世曾有過這麼悲慘的遭遇 哀悼她並向她道別
再次經歷前輩子的痛苦 我終於了解到前世我是誰
靈魂的大門敞開 透過她的眼神 我的心緒如潮汐般的起落"


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
這一首"through her eyes"是nicholas了解到vitoria的身世之後的感想
短短的一首歌卻能把nicholas哀傷的情境表達得如此淋漓盡至
petrucci的文筆真的很厲害:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

08.Home
lyrics by mike portnoy

(sleeper=julian)
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired

Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
Home
It's what I long for
Back homewhere I belong

The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me

Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home

(miracle=ed)
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried

I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died

I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try

Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
Home
It's what I long for
My homewhere she belongs

Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home

Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home

(nicholas)
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me

Help- regression, obsession
I can't keep away from her touch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home

(sleeper=julian)
"嗜好一如閃耀的湖 荷包塞滿令人興奮
我幽禁的心靈雖已疲乏過度卻充滿慾望
活在這個如字謎般的世界 令我無處安身 我無法擺脫這迷陣
這冷血的城市 召喚我回家 家是我渴望的 願能回到真正屬於我的家
拉我一把 因我正向下沈淪 在地上爬行 無法擺脫賭的掌握
我很了解不能有這種嗜好 家 正在召喚我"

(miracle=ed)
"記得第一次她來看我 她的苦惱傾巢而出 向我哭訴了整夜
記得我被告知舊愛已死 新歡已經誕生
我從未想過能持續這種生活方式
然而不管我多努力的嘗試 我卻無法阻止
活在julian與victoria的另外一個生活裏 他們不會有結果
我將娶她為妻 她甜蜜的誘惑召喚我回家
我渴望的家園 那也是屬於她的家
她欣喜若狂的神情 對我有相當大的意義 那怕是欺騙自己的兄弟
victoria注視的眼神與沈思的微笑如同給了我歸宿
老天爺 他是我的兄弟 但是我深愛著她 我無法拒絕與她交往
欺騙 可恥 這種感覺正督促我返回自己的家"

(nicholas)
"她的故事掌握謎題的關鍵 由八識田中的記憶解開我的夢境
讀解這個迷思 不只是我身上的一部份 幾乎是我的一切
幫我 讓我回歸前世 這是無法擺脫的念頭
我無法拒絕與她接觸 毫無疑問的必須查明事實的真相"


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
短短的歌詞清楚的刻劃出三位劇中主角內心最深沈的一面
首先歌曲一開始時寧靜中所夾帶的背景音效
再夾帶輕彈的acoustic guitar與sitar琴
那聲音有一種孤寂 停滯 苦悶 乃至於流連忘返的感覺

這首使用到了sitar琴 這是來自於印度的一種樂器
而所謂的輪迴與轉世的思想源自於印度
這種樂器的使用事實上已經把故事形而上的哲學思想加以具體化
其次sitar的琴聲以及樂曲本身的調子 具有印度音樂的色彩
對於西方人來說 印度距離他們算是很遠
因此這種樂曲的安排暗示了劇中人物偏離了正道
他們急於求得心靈的解脫 或者脫離家太遠了 如今他們歸心似箭
sitar琴之後是keyboard與guitar solo的對彈 bass也緊抓著主旋律不放
mike的鼓從頭到尾變拍連連 過門的非常棒阿~~~~~~:):)
petrucci 一段古典華麗的吉他速彈則將整首歌曲帶入最高潮

故事中的兩位主角 julian嗜賭如命 ed愛上自己兄弟的情人
每個人都知道自己不對 內心都在掙扎
每個人都想解脫以求得內心世界的安寧
而那種安寧的內心世界就是"home"在這裡的真正涵意:):)

前面兩首歌表達了nicholas經由催眠了解到victoria與自己的前生
這首歌補充交代他在催眠的過程中還看到了其他的異相
更重要的是從中nicholas發現victoria與ed之間的戀情
引發他認為victoria的死因恐怕沒那麼單純
進而讓他再作進一步的催眠而找到事情的真相
這首歌nicholas以第三人稱的角度
分別描述出這兩個男人的心結 也陳述了他自己的看法~~
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

09.The Dance Of Eternity
(Instrumental)
歌名永恆之舞 指著是眾生生命的輪迴
這首是演奏曲子 可以聽到很強烈華麗的keyboard與guiter的對彈
正好和"Overture 1928"前後呼應~~
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"

10.One Last Time
lyrics by james labrie

(nicholas)
It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending
In spite of the evidence
There's something still missing

Heard some of the rumors told
A taste of one's wealth
Did Victoria wound his soul?
Did she bid him farewell?

(victoria)
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We slowly fade away

(nicholas)
Here I am inside his home
It holds the many clues
To my suspicions
And as I'm standing here right now
I'm finally shown what I have always known

Coincidence I can't believe
As my childhood dreams slowly come true

Are these her memories
Awakened through my eyes
This house has brought back to life

An open door
I walk on through
Into his bedroom

Feeling as cold as outside
The walls disappear
To some woman who's screaming
A man pleads forgiveness
His words I cannot hear

(nicholas)
"這個悲劇的結果 一點道理都沒有
儘管有相關的佐證 卻似乎遺漏了什麼
有一些關於財富的謠言 victoria傷了julian的心了嗎
她是否真向他表明要離開他"

(victoria)
"曾幾何時 我們在今天中槍倒地 曾幾何時 我們逐漸淡去"

(nicholas)
"如今在催眠的境界裏 我進去julian的房間
那裏有不少線索令我懷疑
如今我站在這裏我終於看到前世我早已知曉的景物
當我孩提時代的夢境漸漸出現時 這是一種巧合嗎
我不相信 我穿過敞開的門 進到他的房間
我感覺房內和外頭一樣寒冷 牆消失了
一個男子強辯似的向一個尖叫的女子請求寬恕
但是我聽不到他講話的內容"


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
這首歌描寫的是nicholas的疑惑及催眠中看到的場景
前奏領教到了jordan優美典雅的鋼琴演奏
間奏部份petrucci也再度露一手guitar solo
雖然很短 但聽起來還是蠻過癮的:):)
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly
that there's no place else i could be but here in ur arms~ : )

11.The Spirit Carries On
lyrics by john petrucci

(nicholas)
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

(victoria)
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

(nicholas)
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

(nicholas)
"我們從何而來 又將往何處去
當我們死後靈魂將飛往何處 前世蘊藏著什麼
我們之前又經歷過什麼 在生命中有任何確定的事嗎
人們說 " 生命太短促 " "此時此刻 "
妳一槍斃命 有更甚於此的嗎
如果我明天死了 我不會擔心
因為我深深的相信 我死後靈魂將會持續
我曾經抗拒死亡 我常想死亡就是生命的終結
但是那是以前 我不再害怕死亡
因為我了解靈魂會轉世 我可能一輩子也找不到答案
我可能永遠無法理解 我可能無法證實我所得知的一切是真實的
但是我確信我仍必須持續的去嚐試
如果我明天死去 我不再擔心
因為我了解 我們死後靈魂仍會持續新的生命"

(victoria)
"勇往直前 別在我的墓前哭泣 因為我早已不在墓裏頭了
但是在你的記憶中 請不要忘記我"

(nicholas)
"安全的處在環繞我的強光裏 完全沒有恐懼與痛苦
心中的疑問再次幫我找到了生命的意義 victoria是真實存在過的
我終於解放了 在睡夢中與這女孩和平共存
如今完全澄清了我夢境的意義 如果我明天死了 我不會擔心
因我相信 我死後 靈魂仍會持續"


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
這首是nicholas經過一連串催眠之後的心得以及內心的感觸
想要傳達的結論是
"If I die tomorrow, I'd be allright,
Because I believe that after we're gone, the spirit carries on."
i like, where u sleep
when u sleep, next to me
i like, where u sleep
here

cause our lips, can touch
and our cheeks, can brush
our lips, can touch
here

u r the one that lies close to me
and whispers "hello, i've missed u quite terribly"
i fell in love with u suddenly

12.Finally Free
lyrics by mike portnoy

(hypnotherapist)
"You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light.
Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime.
As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness
remembering all you have learned.
When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present,
feeling peaceful and refreshed.
Open your eyes, Nicholas."

(miracle)
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man

Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there's still time

He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
They'll buy into the words that I wrote

"This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
I'd take my own life before losing you"

(victoria)
Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said we'd get together soon

He's always had my heart
He needs to know
I'll break free of the Miracle
It's time for him to go

This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
He'd kill his brother if he only knew

Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night

(sleeper)
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We fade away

As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear
A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
A familiar voice comes shining through

(nicholas)
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
I learned about my life by living through you

This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you

We'll meet again my friend someday soon

(CNN report)
"news in London, France, Russia and Italy have deleted their lead story, all anticipating the outcome of the man considered to be a member of American nobility. And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker here over Washington, the mood has grown darker as well and people here are beginning to resign themselves to the possibility that they are witnessing yet another tragedy in a long string of misfortunes. Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and certainly from around the world has gues..."

Hypnotherapist:
"Open your eyes, Nicholas."

Nicholas:
"AAAH!"

(hypnotherapist)
"你再次的被強烈的白光環繞 讓這道光帶領你揮別過去
回到現實世界 當白光消逝時
你將慢慢甦醒恢復知覺 記住你所知道的一切
當我告訴你張開眼睛你將返回現實生活
同時你將感覺詳和清晰 張開你的雙眼 nicholas"

(nicholas發動車子引擎的聲音
恢復知覺後的nicholas 揮別催眠師開著車回到家裏
回到家中的nicholas有如浩劫餘生 他靜靜的坐下 閉目養神
並且再次回憶起那天victoria出事的場景)

(miracle)
(這是出事之後 Ed這位真正的凶手企圖掩滅證據的場景)
"星期五的傍晚 我的手仍沾著血
想到她竟為了那個不知好歹的的男人 離我而去
我是唯一生還者 沒有證人在犯罪現場
我必須趕緊掩飾 我想時間仍然足夠
小抄裏頭的字眼讓julian看起來無助與失落
我想世人會相信是一場情殺的事件
心中強烈的感覺 我終於找到了真愛
終於找到了解脫 不再分心
在喪失妳之前 我寧可先奪去自己的生命"

(victoria)
(這是victoria出事之前 克服內心的掙扎
欲與Julian重修舊好 急著要與Julian約會的場景)
"星期五下午 心情真好 我將重返Julian的懷抱
我告訴他 我們很快就要聚在一起了
他必須了解 我的心永遠屬於他
我已經擺脫了miracle 該是和他分手的時候了
心中強烈的感覺 我終於尋回我的真愛
不再分心 終於得到了解脫
julian若知道真相 他非殺了他的兄弟不可

他們的愛重新燃起 他們相約在一條鮮為人知的小徑
他們以為沒有人會知道 那知黑夜中事情突然發生了"

(sleeper)
"曾幾何時 我們都中槍倒地 曾幾何時 我們的生命逐漸淡出"

當他們的屍體倒在地上 悲劇已接近尾聲
兩個人的靈魂升上空中 他們的恐懼完全消失
刺眼的強光映入眼簾 死去的靈魂再生了
熟悉的聲音明亮的響徹雲霄

(nicholas)
"內心強烈的感覺 終於發現了生命的真相
我終於解脫了 透過妳的生命 我知道了我的一生 不再分心
內心強烈的感覺 終於發現了生命的真相
我終於解脫了 透過妳的生命 我知道了我的一生 不再分心
親愛的朋友(victoria) 有一天我們將再相遇"

(cnn報導)
倫敦、法國、蘇俄、義大利的新聞都刪掉了他們的頭條新聞
每個人都在預測這位被視為美國貴族的結局
你可已想像當華府天空烏雲蔽日時 人們的心情也跟著開朗不起來
人們已經了解他們可能是另一場悲劇及惡運的見證人
反應來自於各地 華盛頓 乃至於全世界......"

最後面nicholas不知不覺在沙發上睡著了 一直到天亮還未醒
另一部車在門前停了下來
催眠師因關心nicholas而來探望他
當他看到nicholas 習慣性的叫醒nicholas
"Open Your Eyes, Nicholas."
nicholas從夢中驚醒碰到身旁的收音機.....


---------------------------------------------------------------------
這首將nicholas所見的場景做了全部完整的交代
故事到這邊全部結束:):)
i like, where u sleep

our lips, can touch
