Listen to A Change of Seasons today

[setrataeso]

So it's been 26 years since Mike lost his mother in a plane crash.

Seems like today would be as good a day as any to listen to A Change of Seasons.

I listened to it yesterday.

Listening to it now.  I was also watching part of Dead Poets Society last night on cable near the beginning of the movie.

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying"

[nikostheater]

I am listening to the song right now.
RIP to ms Portnoy.

Carpe Pavonem!

[darkshade]

[Occasional_Madman]

Listened to it in the car today. Wonderful, wonderful song.

[cyberdrummer]

Wonderful, wonderful song.

The best in my opinion. Just incredible.

Listening to ACOS now.

Oh man...I didn't realize today was the "anniversary". On my drive to class this morning, I had this weird urge telling me "You know, it's a good day to listen to A Change of Seasons". Coincidence or clairvoyance?

[Algo Fonix]

Everyday is a good day for ACoS. 

I listened to it twice.  Made pretty happy.

[blackngold29]

Just listened to the LSFNY version. Possibly my single most favorite DT track.

Coincidence.

[lucky7]

I now know how long it takes me to get to work. 23.06 the total time for A Change of Seasons.

Mooroolbark to Box Hill, Melbourne Aus.

I must say I think that was my first listen start to finish, I think JP sounds fantastic on taht track! 

[Global Laziness]

My favourite song of all time, and one I never need an excuse to listen to. Watched the Metropolis 2000 version of it last night.

[pmahoney1337]

#1 DT song for me. I'm a day late but I'll still give it a "special" listen for MP and his mother.

[RuRoRul]

Didn't listen to it yesterday but I listened to it earlier today after seeing this thread.

Of course I don't really need much of an excuse to listen to it. One of the best Dream Theater songs and best songs in general.

[Dublagent66]

ACOS will always be a timeless DT classic to me.  It's my #1 DT epic also.   

[Rina]

I listened to it yesterday.

Likewise. Great song.

[VioletS16]

Ooops 
Why oh why did I not remember yesterday?!?
Guess what else I forgot yesterday? Yep...  I've been waiting SO LONG for it and I forgot it!

But I'm listening to it now so don't bug out on me yet!
*sorry Mike*

Anyone like the demo better than the official release?  They are practically two different songs.  I especially like the demo's Another World.

What an amazing song. My favourite DT epic and one of DT's best songs. There is just not a single part of this song that I don't love.

Listening to the demo now for the first time. It sounds pretty cool, but I'm not a fan of the production quality.

Yeah, I listen to it almost as much as I listen to the actual version. Obviously it isn't as good, but it's still pretty awesome (production aside). I also have a tendency to sing the old lyrics when listening to the proper version.

I agree that the production is worse, yeah, but supposing production wasn't a factor, I'd say the older version is better.  The only part that's weaker is the first two movements, but after that, I quite enjoy the demo.

[Rina]

I interchange them. Both have good points so I switch it around a bit.

Yeah, I actually think (though doubt it would happen) it would be awesome to have a high-quality live version of the demo version. Just as a cool novelty thing.
