One of the best songs they've ever made. Absolutely love it.

SnakeEyes

It's a great song, but I can't get over that it's about vampire love.  And, secondly, the music video for the song is utterly ridiculous.

Vampires have feelings too.

I plan to sit down during Forsaken, if they decide to play it at the show I'll be attending.

THAT SOLO .... a face melter.

The solo is definitely the one great thing about an otherwise average tune.

Whats not to like about it?? 

Well, for one, the chorus is very bland.  It smacks of them trying to write a catchy song with a hook, but the hook simply isn't there.

THAT'LL teach them.

One of the few highlights for me on SC. It's a pretty good song, the best part is the soaring chorus.

I love this song. And when they played it live, it was amazing  :metal

Mladen

It's good. Far from being one of my favorites on Systematic chaos, though.  :smiley:

haven't heard SC since I bought it... there's so much better stuff to listen. no time for SC, sorry.

This.  Nothing really interesting or different about the song, it's kind of average, but JP's solo is nice.

It's very much each to their own. I find it a fantastic piece of music as im sure others do, whilst others find it boring no doubt. It is catchy to the majority though I believe, if youtube views are anything to go by  :biggrin:

I think there's nothing wrong with it. It's a fine song and, while definitely not Dream Theater's best, certainly not their worst either.

:lol. My brother once showed it to a friend and he asked if it was 30 seconds to mars. My brother got really pissed off at him cause he loves the song and then came to me and told me the story. I answered that it didn't surprise me and he just looked at me and left the room.

Jarzombek

I can't remember last time I listened to it.

This is strange to me, I find it more of a "hook" song than most of their others.

Once in a great while when I got music on shuffle.  It's one of my favs on SC but don't listen to SC that much lately.

Dublagent66

The CiM version just came on during shuffle play.  :lol

ibosmiley

Haven't listened to it recently, but I would still listen to it.  The song jumped out at me when I first listened to SC, and I'm still a fan of it.  No, it's not a mind blowing song, but I don't need a song to be mind blowing to listen to it.  I personally tend to like DT's "average, radio like" tunes.

I like Forsaken, imo it's one of the better songs off Systematic Chaos although I haven't listened to the album in a fair while.

sagar_k

I love that song. The lyrics & the video remind me of a couple of recurring dreams I have   :xbones

EstyMaJ

Yup I have always loved this song for some reason though i always picture it being played at a strip club  , lol i dunno why . but yeah i really do like this simple song bunches.

Shattered Glass

Yeah - I like Jordan's piano line - its pretty .

Song pretty much sucks, though it works VERY well as a live song, which surprised me a few weeks ago. The solo is the only redeeming quality, and the bass/keys/drums during the verses (without guitar).
\o\ lol /o/

Mosh

It's alright. Not even a quarter as bad as You Not Me. It's fun to play on guitar, but it's nothing special. Like most of Systematic Chaos.

I like the song, I actually prefer it over Constant Motion and TDEN. I've been listening to Systematic Chaos quite a bit in my car lately, and it has surprisingly aged very well.

Second-best song on the album, the best being TMoLS.  The rest of the album, I can't stand, so that's not saying much, but I do genuinely like Forsaken.

I listen to it regularly.
