OPEN MIC WEEK 52 - Dream Theater "The Wasteland" cover

vanessaondine (54)in #openmic • 9 years ago (edited)

hello everyone! This is my first submission to steemit open mic contest, and I'm a little nerves. I haven't played the piano or sang for a while so I'm a bit rusty; but i guess imperfection is a part of live performance. Although I have a lot of original songs i decided to cover a song i really love.

As a huge progressive-rock fan i took a part of a Dream Theater song. This part taken from a 13 minute song (prog-rock takes patience ;) called 'Trail Of Tears'.
I love the lyrics for this one:

Still awake
I continue to move along
Cultivating my own nonsense
Welcome to the wasteland
Where you'll find ashes, nothing but ashes
Still awake
Bringing change, bringing movement,
Bringing life
A silent prayer thrown away,
Disappearing in the air
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
Nowhere to turn,
I look for a way back home
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven

Hope you enjoy this, thanks for listening :)

I'd like to see you two do a Dream Theater duet at some point in the future. Awesome guitar work, and awesome piano and voice work, it would be like magic!
