Best DT Song Under 4 Minutes

[GasparXR]

I think it would work nicely too, and they both use a 7 string in standard tuning, so it's doable. But it doesn't really solve the issue of it not working standalone, it just gives it a different dependency.

Do you mean WIMH? Because as far as I know, it doesn't but it could still be played on one if it were to be paired with TEI.

Now that you point it out, you're right! I don't know why I thought it was.
The song is in Eb, played on a 6 string standard (at least on Score). So as you say, it could be played on the 7 string, and work back to back. Because of the chromatic chord progression behind the final chorus, the difference in key wouldn't clash either.

Not to mention it usually goes into TTTSTA which is in the same key as TEI anyway. (Em)

Wait For Sleep

The Silent Man

I was just thinking about this today and most of my favorite Dream Theater songs are the long ones, but The Silent Man is just fantastic. I like this song better than most of the long ones.

The Silent Man

Followed by Wait For Sleep and Overture

See? Meant to be!

Yes it does, what a surprisingly good pair! Nice call! More so considering how abrupt The Enemy Inside intro is.

Voted for Cover My Eyes, just because I enjoy listening to it more, great little short tune! Wait For Sleep and Vacant were the other options and it's hard to pick either.

Now I realize that all DT short pieces are amazing, never really thought of them all.

i always think their short songs are not satisfying but One Last Time really stood out.

I like this way: False Awakening Suite, Overture 1928, Far From Heaven, Wait For Sleep

Mosquitos in Harmony Song.


I'm quite sure that is under 4 minutes, correct?
