Dream Theater - Wither [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Sorry for my English guys, I’m blessed the way you make the galaxies turn their ways

20 millions of people which live with it song…

I have no jobs since college, I take my degree for 9 years. World is so rude to me but still here for my mother and some possessions nothing else, nothing more.

This song was the first ever song of DT introduced to me back in 2011 by one of my neighbours who now have passed (may his soul rest in peace). And ever since, not a day goes by without a song, a riff, a solo, a lyric of any of their songs. It was not by mistake that he introduced me this song it was by fate, i was destined to embrace and grow up with DT. I even had a chance to attend their Live concert in Kolkata 2026, they’re one of the reasons why living in this era is great. DT forever.

I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burn into the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away

Who listening in 2026

Dream Theater songs is like a drug to me

Who is listening in 2024

Seeing the comments just after his departure vs after his return is wholesome, and shows another reason why the DT fan base is one of the best on the planet. Reminds me why I love music.

that feeling is back. i am enjoying this again. on repeat again.

HE'S BACK. LET'S EFFING GO!!

PORTNOY is back!! 2023 ❤

2:54 let me sleep In bed while listening to this part😢💗

In general, this song tells about a person's helplessness in facing something that might make him have to try hard and fight for everything. But his efforts and hard work suddenly stopped because he failed to achieve it. If you look closely, the lyrics of this song actually reveal more about the story of the songwriter. Basically, there are three things that underlie me to conclude that there is a symbol of despair in this song, friends. The three things were: Surrender, Hope, and Sadness. These three things for me are global conditions that a person feels when he is desperate

12 years ago man, it feels like yesterday. This song always in my head

I don't care what this generation has to say.. Rock and roll was and is the best genre of all time...

Back in 2009/10 (my memory is fuzzy on it for some reason), I went to a concert in Washington, Maryland with my best friend and his mom. We got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for five minutes at the time, and this lasted an hour. When we got there, we met John Myung in the lobby of the hotel as he was on his way out to a meet and greet at Ernie Ball Music Shop. We managed to get there and decided for shits and giggles, to enter the raffle for two extra tickets. One of us won (I think it was my best friend), and we got to meet John Petrucci and Myung again. We were in the documentary video for the meet and greet (which I'd be surprised if it still existed to this day lmao).

I'll remember this for as long as I live. I'll never get another experience like this again, and I'm happy that the one who introduced me to DT, who is also my partner in crime for life, was there to experience it with me.

I listened to this song in every era of my life.. When i lost my family, fell in love, was broke , graduated from school.. everytime it cured me and lifted me up to the ground.. This song can be more effective than the modern depression tratments and cures.. Thanks D.T.

how this song never got radio play is beyond me!!!!

What a fantastic voice preformance from James LaBrie!!!

Waking up in a hospital after a botched suicide I went home after a week of surgeries. This album was the first I listened to. Alone on the floor of my apartment this song dropped me to my knees. Realizing the life choices I had made to lead me to this dark place. This was 2012, I am now sober and a drug and alcohol counselor at a homeless shelter. Music is the most powerful force on Earth.

happy birthday dad! i miss you... you used to love this song and i'm back here again

Still feels in 2020!

I'm a big guy.. In 300 lbs of mean ass.. But I hear this song... I break down and shed a tear .. It is one of those songs that I'm glad I was ratting mushrooms and turned on MTV and pull me under came on and I absolutely loved it so much I camped at the Statesville nc mall to buy the cassette.... Thanks dream theater for being one of the sickest bands alive

2019! Who is listening? 😭❤️

0:45 Portnoy with Opeth logo then Åkerfeldt shows up later.. Beautiful

2:21 Mike Portnoy and Mikael Åkerfeldt , my lovely ones ❤️

Is there anyone who's still listening this in 2019 ?

Dream Theater, The best band ever!
Thanks Jonh Petrucci!

In my opinion, I think this song is about how much pain and failure you can handle in life as you keep going back up. Basically it's vulnerability well handled over invulnerability well expressed. Let everything burn down as you start over and learn from previous mistakes. That's why this song is devastatingly sad but beautiful at the same time, like the keyboard and the guitar solo part.

What can u expect from us human, we prefer garbage over masterpiece like this song.
People listening to this are the enlightened ones.. Cheers🤘

Is there anyone other than me who listens to this song in 2018?

Best drummer ever left :(

This song is me when im writing an essay
"Staring down, staring down, nothing comes to mind"

A music that everyone loves, a band that everyone wants to be.

Ooooh my goodness. So beautiful. 💔

NOSTALGIA

Wither on, JP! Songwriting is hard, but you seem to have mastered it during the struggle. Dream Theater is definitely best band ever.

Mike portnoy is a legend

Behold, the greatest band in the world.

Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty Space
So insecure find the words and let it out

Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place turn the water into wine

But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in and everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know

Open up open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still transparentness consumes me
And I feel like giving up

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

I wither
And give myself away

Light reflections on the cage
The worlds want to create

I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground

The thought of staring over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away

I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear

I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away

Light reflections on the cage
The worlds want to create
The worlds which you create

Let it out let it out 🤘

2:21 Isnt that Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt?

I love Mike Portnoy and was sad to learn of his departure from DT. I wish him all the best....the man has a huge heart and is very generous live perfomer. He once handed me a drumstick at the end of a show only to have some a-hole snatch it, so Mike then hands me another one, makes sure I have it before letting go, I slid it down the front of my dress!!! I still have and covet that purple drumstick!! He is a sweetie!!!

I love that smile of Mike Portnoy when somebody helps him with the hair band

I swear, Portnoy looks cooler every year, he must be taking some kind of coolness supplement.

I think his voice is what makes this song so epic.
