I have to make a thread. It's just, I need to express my feelings.
THIS SONG IS AMAZING.
I actually think I've found the song that I could listen to for the rest of my life and not get bored. I also find it just completely mesmerising, for such a sad song, it cheers my up whenever I listen to it. I've had ADTOE for 3 days now, and I've listened to the song 12 times, at least, on my iPad. This isn't counting iPod touch and Computer.
It feels so good to say it to fellow fans.
Hell yeah. This and BAI are my favorites from ADTOE. Simply beautiful!
Best closer to an album since SDOIT.
The song is, in fact, all manner of awesome. Speaking from personal experience though, you might wanna save "I could listen to this for the rest of my life" commitments until you've had the album for at least a few weeks. :lol
A wonderful song, and my 2nd favorite on ATDOE. Top 20 material as well.
I think of the "ballad-y" ones on ADToE, BtS is my favorite.
i'm having difficulty latching onto this song like the rest of you. I think its the lyrics that push me away.

Do lyrics mean nothing to you? Cause those lyrics are depressing as hell.

:lol Maybe he is just talking about the music, and not the lyrics.

Those lyrics are Petrucci's best for a while.

I often find songs with lyrics that mirror negative emotions that I am feeling have the effect of "cleansing the palate" and allowing me to unload those emotions.
When I'm angry, songs with angry lyrics often calm me. When I am depressed songs with depressing lyrics often cheer me up. So it is not too surprising that some people find happiness in a song like BTS.
It is DT's best song without drums ( I didn't forget that tambourine there but I didn't count it)
or tough choice between BTS and Wait For sleep...
For me, it's a tough choice between Vacant and BTS.
a great song that has meaningful lyrics. it's heartfelt and emotional, would make me cry.
Amazing song. Stripped down, simple, but very atmospheric and delicate. Lyrics are beautiful. Music is perfect. Labrie drips with emotion (no pun intended)
Great song, I wouldn't have closed the album with it though.
The song is the only way to end the album

I'm glad you're not in the band then.

Did Serox hijack your account? :lol
yEsss....
I love the song. Unfortunately for me, it might as well be a point for point breakdown of how my longest term relationship came to an end, so it also doesn't get played often.
Could be worse. I'm convinced that Steve Hogarth of Marillion has been unconsciously reading my mind since about 1995 or so, based on the number of song lyrics he's written that fit events in my life to a T. :lol

LOL I was kind of thinking this same thing. If the lyrics were at least somewhat of a positive message I gues I would like it more. Musically it is absolutely fantastic though.
Don't really care for any of the ballads on this album, mostly because (gasp) I really don't care for JLB's voice.

Then maybe DT isn't the band for you? Just sayin'
What Jamesman and OP said.
:tup
The 1st time i heard the album i was a bit dissapointed at how it ended. Ive begun to like it more with more listens tho.

listening at the moment for the 4th time..
Love the lyrics, JLB's voice, JR's key section.... I am big fan of ballads, and this one ranks high on my list.
It's my favorite song from their past 4 albums.

The last song I got into on ADTOE and my current favorite DT song. They performed it live when I saw them but I didn't care about it at the time, how do I wish I could go back in time... :facepalm:
They played it live at our show too. It was gorgeous. I don't think the lyrics are depressing, though. Melancholy, yes. To me it sounds like the way you feel after you've moved on and you've gotten over it. Fantastic melody, too.
I listened to it last night for the first time. Worst album closer in DT history. My disappointment with this album knows no bounds.
A truly beautiful song. Made me cry the first time I heard it, and still chokes me up even after many, many listenings.

Very true for me too.
