Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’m gonna be in a Devin Townsend music video, and so can you!
I’m searching for a place to land
You have my life unguarded
Like the deserts miss the rain
I feel the pain
I reach to you my weary hand
A petty man so blinded
Can’t wait for you to understand
It’s just who I am…
Reaching deep, and if I can
Then I will know…
Underneath my skin it will show

Dream Theater - ‘The Count of Tuscany’
This song is about an unexpected and strange encounter John Petrucci, the guitarist, had in Tuscany. The progression of the song is pretty clear. The opening reflects the enthusiasm for adventure. The middle part turns darker, heavier and more foreboding as the protagonist of the song becomes fearful for what he’s got himself into on this adventure deep into the heart of Tuscany’s countryside with an eccentric man. After a slow, spacey, existential limbo, the song twists back to the mood and themes from the beginning as the Count explains things and implores the protagonist to carry his story back to the world. Petrucci launches into an amazingly bright guitar solo whose feeling cannot be ignored, followed by some resounding “whoa-ohs”, Mike Portnoy going crazy on drums, and a brief recapitulation of the melody from the beginning.
you forgot the part where they have yaoi sex
Music Suggestions
Gah, this is my problem. I don’t know where to start.
So, I’m looking for specific genre albums. Progressive Rock/Metal albums, preferably concept albums.
I’m despairing because I love Metropolis: Part 2 by Dream Theater so much, but I have yet to find an album that can match its musicality, intricacy, and storytelling.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
anything by Vanden Plas, Mercy Falls by Seventh Wonder, A Gentleman’s Hurricane by Mind’s Eye
