Speak to Me

I think this is probably one of DT's most beautiful songs. I think it needs way more appreciation than it recieves

Here's me hoping it will recieve rotation next tour. Seeing this song played live would make my life complete.

Ħ · February 18, 2011, 02:16:39 PM

Major props!

It always seems to be voted against in the Survivors, though...

toro · February 18, 2011, 02:18:52 PM

One of my favorite songs

tri.ad · February 18, 2011, 02:20:25 PM

Love it. Great song, and I love JP's solo in it.

DarkLord_Lalinc · February 18, 2011, 02:20:38 PM

Do you like the clothes she wears today?
Colliding love affair against a shade
Often times I wish she'd speak to me
Her holy open book, a world revealed to see

ZKX-2099 · February 18, 2011, 02:34:47 PM

I kept on waiting for something to happen. Kinda glad that was left off...

The Way It Used To Be on the other hand...

Top 15 song for me.

Hey I have over 1000 posts...

hefdaddy42 · February 18, 2011, 07:48:56 PM

Fantastic song.

Elsydeon · February 18, 2011, 08:03:13 PM

I had the pleasure of witnessing this song live on the octavarium tour and it is a good one

? · February 18, 2011, 10:46:44 PM

Great song!

I wish it was on the actual album...

Its a simply beautiful. Great atmosphere too, and the groove of the bass lines.

FretMuppet · February 21, 2011, 01:29:36 PM

Great lyrics

nikostheater · February 21, 2011, 02:16:39 PM

Great song.
I like both the "cleaning the closet" version and the live at rotterdam version.

Occasional_Madman · February 21, 2011, 09:02:06 PM

Currently tied with Eve for favorite B-side. Love James' use of falsetto in this one. Better than 3/4 of FII, IMO.

Ohhh, tell me what you're thinking...

It's still one of DT's best soft songs in my book, IMO.

Agreed, wholeheartedly. Just a damn shame it was never put out on a studio release.

Is there a bootleg or official release with this?

commanderbob · February 22, 2011, 03:15:31 PM

I always thought this song would make a great end credits song on a movie. Start it during the very end of the movie and move to credit screen when James kicks in.

There is a GDT release for the show that I went to, which I own, however I cannot share it because of GDT's rules. As for other shows I'm not sure, I don't think its on any live fanclub discs that I can remember or any live Ytsejam stuff. I could be wrong here though!

Bone_Daddy · February 23, 2011, 09:33:51 AM

Great song. Use to play the hell out of it 'bout 2 years ago.

The drums are epic!!!

RaiseTheKnife · February 23, 2011, 01:16:31 PM

Saw it live twice: '98 in with Derek on keys, and in '06 in San Francisco. Truly a gem from that era.

The song in general, or, specifically from the Octavarium tour?

A live version is available on the 1998 fan club cd (and the 5 Years in a LiveTime video/dvd), while the original demo is available on the 1999 fan club cd and the FII Demos cd.

That's the unplugged version, right? I mean the Octavarium tour version.

Adami · February 23, 2011, 10:43:18 PM

I've only heard the Rotterdam version, but it's one of my favorites. I wish DT would try to capture that kind of mood and atmosphere more often.

Ben_Jamin · February 24, 2011, 10:30:51 AM

That's why I like the song. The mood and atmosphere is soothing.

DarkLord_Lalinc · February 24, 2011, 10:32:52 AM

I absolutely love the guitar solo. I need to listen to an 8VM era bootleg of this song.

tumbok · February 25, 2011, 01:59:48 AM

i think i am the minority here.

too freakin' long song for a electric drum kit to be used
