DLPM gained a LOT of votes last round, jumping from 4 in the previous round to 13, a five-vote lead over RTK (which I had thought would've gone out next - maybe this round!). We're just past half-way through this survivor, will STM survive all the way, or will it and RTK get bumped out in favor of the three older songs that remain?

Speak to Me

[Serah Farron]

Until one day I stopped caring and I disappeared into the darkness....

[Adami]

Speak to Me

If it goes out, you got a great top 4.

[Serah Farron]

It would be great but it's ruined by you know what, lol.

Eh.

[Adami]

It would be great but it's ruined by you know what, lol.

Eh.

Do you like the Score version of the song? Like I said, that's the only one I've heard, but I can't see how anyone can dislike it so much.

Though several people really dislike ACOS (including you it seems) and that's my favorite DT song.




Guess I'm going to have to kill some people.

Raise the knife is a hit or miss for me, even for score. It's not that I don't hate it, I just think the other songs are way better in my opinion.

Also I don't dislike ACOS. It was my number two DT song for a while but some moments kill it. It's like Endless Sacrifice. The intro and verses seem promising enough but it turns into an instrumental fest and it kills the mood.

The Darkest of Winters for me is the stumbling part for me. It builds up well and leaves me captivated, its peak at: "She was killed."

But the instrumental that follows after just drops the song, though it spikes back up with Another World. But after that, comes another instrumental....

The Myung/Portnoy duet I love but it drags on after that, but comes up again greatly. Shave some parts off of it and I'm happy.

But, I'm not the one to judge.

Speak To Me is wonderful

To Live Forever

Speak To Me is wonderful

To Live Forever Raise the Knife

[Eldomm]

Eve easily

[Train of Naught]

Marc, I voted for Eve but meant to vote Raise the Knife, could you please change this in the final counting? Eve is my #2 here and I've been voting for Raise the Knife since round 2

[MirrorMask]

Eve, and then To Live Forever, and then we're left with the right top three (even though Don't Look Past Me is equally great)

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Speak To Me

[Train of Naught]

Yeah, out of those, it is the Beneath the Surface theme. It looks fine and it's easy on the eyes too.

It's what I use as well, love the colors of this one the best.

Eve

[Elite]

Highlander

[Mladen]

Speak To Me

It's actually my least favorite of the FII B-sides.

[CharlesPL]

Raise The Knife

[Serah Farron]

Wow I can't believe this  is hañpening!

Let's go Speak to Me! You can survive!

[MirrorMask]

Raise the Knife and Speak to Me fighting to survive, while they should have outlasted the remaining two (I don't even count A Change of Seasons 'cause it's massively masterpiece-y)

[Serah Farron]

Actually Eve is a really beautiful song. It's filled with emotion and that outro is simple brilliance. Moore and Petrucci really tear into your soul for that song.

Speak to Me is also beautiful and puts you in a sort of trance, especially that intro! So catchy and James is amazing.

[ToT-147]

TLF..

If this one would leave,then that'd be the perfect top 4 for this survivor.. A thing *I* don't get to see very often..
