I initially set out to write and record vocals/lyrics for three of my favorite Dream Theater instrumental songs. This is my third and final attempt. I sincerily hope you enjoy it ... This song in particular pushed me right to the edge of my singing abilities ...

Seize the day (set your spirit free)

Light the fire
Inside your soul tonight
Let your dreams
Come to life

Say those words
That you wanted to say
Scream her name
This could be your final day

Embrace the rain
Have you felt in before
Just close your eyes
You might see so much more

Drink the air
Let it fill you soul
Could you laugh so loud
That you just lose control

Solo

Seize the day
Set it free
Break the chains
Of reality

Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

Solo

Dry your tears
And shout out loud
I Know the fears
You thinks out there
I'll take your hand
I'll help you stand
I'll break the spells of ignorance so
Hold your head up high
Find the fire inside I beg you
Break those days of empty sorrow
Live for today and not tomorrow
Rise above
And set your spirit free

It was alright, you struggled quite a bit there in the end

. Also cheesiest title ever?

I mean I enjoyed a lot but Hells Kitchen would sound good with A Justin Bieber song mixed over it.

ok maybe not

Seriously can someone ban him from posting these things? They're really in poor taste

Someone shit in your Corn Flakes?

I think they're rather creative. As long as he keeps the thread title from being misleading, it's all good in my book.

I agree, i don't see a problem, maybe it should be in the musicians forum though

SeRoX · « **Reply #6 on:** January 06, 2013, 05:33:15 PM »

Yeah, I love that man voice. It's so interesting and enjoyable to hear when DT's instrumental and voice unite.

The Letter M · « **Reply #7 on:** January 06, 2013, 05:35:27 PM »

I don't see an issue either, but posts like these really do belong in the Musicians forum, where members here post their musical performances/covers/originals.

When DT matters there is always at least one.

I expected this to be a train wreck.

Instead I was pleasantly surprised.

Very creative, good job.

I still think the ACOS one is your best though.

Wow, your posts really divide opinions. I think you have a great voice which fits perfectly for this kind of music. But the problem is that you did that misleading title while ago and some stupid posts when you got some "enemies" here. Kinda silly in my honest opinion because your covers are quite good. I mean all is fine if these are posted in the musician forum from now on and title says clearly that it's cover.

But yeah, as I said, quite good, I liked that 'seize the day' section.

It was pretty cool, once again. Great last verse.

Trial of Thought · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2013, 07:29:02 AM »

Just one word

WOW

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments. Just to respond:

Completely agree. I totally made a cock head on myself with my last post. I'm pretty sure I've taken over the number one spot on the ladder of "people I most want to kill or put in a wheelchair". I'm bummed about this because I've turned people off listening to my stuff even before they’ve listened to my stuff. The general consensus is I'm am asshole. I have apologised for this though.

I struggled at the end because I was lacking breathe in my lungs. I could have re-taken this section and made it perfect but fuck perfect. I look for soul in a take .. not perfection. If people want perfection.. listen to boyband music. Processed, corrected mush.

I agree that Hell's Kitchen is written by the gods, sent by the gods and then the gods decided they wanted to play it aswell!

However to try and write/sing over any type of music ain't easy. Dude if you can mix a JB song over a DT and it sounds good then please send it my direction. Please don't though because to mix shit with pure gold is just wrong.

Just to say that for my first post (ACOS), I actually did post it in the Musicians forum but the moderator moved it to this section. Hence I just reposted here

So thanks again for listening guys. All comments were appreciated. Good and bad. It's always healthy to get both sides of the argument. I'm flying over to Germany in the coming months to complete the new FrameShift 4 album with Henning Pauly. Definitely something to look forward to!

At the end you sounded a little like Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation to me.
