Space-Dye Vest
"Space-Dye Vest" is the eleventh and final song from American progressive rock/metal band Dream Theater's 1994 album, ''Awake''. The song was written entirely by the keyboardist Kevin Moore, and its demo featured Moore on vocals. It is structured around a dark, brooding duet between Moore playing the piano and vocalist James LaBrie. The rest of the band kick in for a dramatic outro, fading out until Moore ends the song with the piano passage that opened the song. The song is interspersed with samples from ''A Room with a View'', '' The Fifth Estate'', ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', ''The Trouble With Evan'' and a news commentary by Jim Hill during the O. J. Simpson freeway chase. History The song was composed by Moore while touring with Images and Words in 1993, and surfaced as part of a series of demos composed by him and that were not suitable for Dream Theater, but for his own experiment. Kevin Moore spoke to a Japanese interviewer regarding the meaning behind the song: "I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dream Theater Songs
A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Humans spend about two hours dreaming per night, and each dream lasts around 5 to 20 minutes, although the dreamer may perceive the dream as being much longer than this. The content and function of dreams have been topics of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation, practiced by the Babylonians in the third millennium BCE and even earlier by the ancient Sumerians, figures prominently in religious texts in several traditions, and has played a lead role in psychotherapy. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology. Most modern dream study focuses on the neurophysiology of dreams and on proposing and testing hypotheses regarding dream function. It is not known where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple regions of the brain are ...

Awake (Dream Theater Album)
''Awake'' is the third studio album by American progressive metal band Dream Theater, released on October 4, 1994, through East West Records. It is the final Dream Theater album to feature original keyboardist Kevin Moore, who announced his decision to leave the band during the mixing process of the album.

Released at the height of the popularity of grunge music, ''Awake'' initially received mixed reviews, though the album was later referre ...
