Author Topic: Tribond - Dream Theater edition (Read 84749 times)

I played a game called Tribond recently, and I thought it would be fun to start a little DT-themed game here on the forum.

The rules are straightforward. I will list a set of three Dream Theater songs which share something in common. (Now, there may be lots of things in common, but there is one right answer I have in mind.) Whoever guesses the connection between the three songs wins the round, and gets to post a puzzle of their own!

It can be about any part of the song - music, lyrics, credits, titles, etc. Half the fun is figuring it out! Here's an example:

1. Ytse Jam
2. Hell's Kitchen
3. Stream of Consciousness

The unifying thread for those three songs is "Instrumentals". See, pretty easy, right?

So with the rules out of the way, here's the first set of songs:

1. Learning to Live
2. Lifting Shadows off a Dream
3. Train of Tears

What common element binds these three together? Good luck!

Correct

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #6 on:** September 23, 2011, 03:35:40 PM »

Okay. let me think of one...

A Change of Seasons
Honor Thy Father
The Best Of Times

namgalsipsclar · « **Reply #7 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:12:35 PM »

All three are about a Portnoy relative? I believe ACOS is about his mother, and the other two about his father

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #8 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:19:12 PM »

True.. but that was the obvious answer. No!

namgalsipsclar · « **Reply #9 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:25:14 PM »

They all feature spoken samples from movies? I know ACOS is from Dead poets society, and Honor thy father has some from something involving Christopher Walken, but I dunno about Best of times

rcseeley421 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:31:57 PM »

They are all written by Mike Portnoy?

visitor · « **Reply #12 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:36:33 PM »

They are about Portnoy's dad?

maybe childhood

metropofreak · « **Reply #13 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:41:27 PM »

They are all written about a relative of MPs who is now dead?

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:46:56 PM »

I can think of much more other than the obvious. All written by Portnoy about passed away family members.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #15 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:51:16 PM »

No. It's more obvious than that!

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:52:54 PM »

All lyrics written by Portnoy

rcseeley421 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:53:12 PM »

Hint?

Pols Voice · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:53:49 PM »

They're all longer than 10 minutes.

namgalsipsclar · « **Reply #19 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:54:54 PM »

All were recorded in New York City? I'm really clutching at straws now

VERY close, but not exactly what I was looking for.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:03:53 PM »

All deal with death

rcseeley421 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:04:18 PM »

All three dealing with the idea of an afterlife/another life than the one at hand?

Or realizing potential and essentially renewing ones faith in a better life?

Mbarak · « **Reply #28 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:05:05 PM »

Ok all females with tragic stories/ending

Pols Voice · « **Reply #29 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:07:33 PM »

Nope. Mbarak's first guess was more on the right track.

namgalsipsclar · « **Reply #30 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:08:30 PM »

All three include a female name in their lyrics?

WOOOO!!!

Ok give me a few minutes...

Mbarak · « **Reply #33 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:12:17 PM »

That was a good one

namgalsipsclar · « **Reply #34 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:13:42 PM »

Ok this may be a little easy but anyway:

Learning to Live
Forsaken
Blind Faith
