Which means the opening bars is the only unique passage in DO.
Well, the way I hear it, the chord progression behind those opening bars (Bm - C# - Em - F#) is repeated in two places in "
A new beggining":
- Around 2:00, when Nafaryus sings "Why would I ever concede..." - it's the same chord progression, but in Em (that would be Em - F# - Am - B). You can also hear the organ, as in the Overture
- From 5:15 on - that is, during the solo. The progression is in Gm, although it's not exactly the same: you get Gm - Ab - D - Fm and then Gm - A - Cm - D, repeating all over again until the end
But yeah, the melody at the opening bars of the Overture, I do too think it's unique to that track. Maybe someone has spotted it elsewhere?
RoeDent, sorry if I came across as a smart-ass, I hope I didn't. I just want to share what I found. I also ran through the album to spot the recurring motifs, so later I'll post what I have (I'll try not to repeat what's already posted).
Also, I just joined, so hi everyone! I'll introduce myself shortly.
