Wither[英文單曲]

《Wither》是美國搖滾樂團Dream Theater發行的一首歌曲，收錄在2009-06-23發行的《Black Clouds & Silver Linings 》專輯中。

創作背景

來自USA的Dream Theater樂團，成立1986年，屬種馬級別了，從1989年發行第1張正式專輯後，已發行了10張正式專輯，以及大量的EP、單曲和現場錄音專輯，這是樂團的09最新EP~~

有少數這張EP的電台宣傳碟發行，最近在eBay拍賣中出現了幾次，均拍出300美元以上的天價，DT鐵桿們真是瘋狂！Wither的鋼琴版有種更加悲傷的感覺，似乎是在將心中的苦悶婉婉道來。 而John Petrucci演唱的Wither小樣版要比預想中的好些，沒有他唱的The Spirits Carries On那么恐怖，不高的嗓音唱這首不高的歌還算可以接受，一首可以K歌的好歌。

Mike Portnoy演唱的The Best Of Times，雖然他的嗓子並不太適合唱這種歌，不過可以感覺出MP是在努力滿含感情 地演唱這首歌，尤其是唱到那句“Those were the best of times”，優美的旋律幾乎讓人窒息。（轉）

歌曲歌詞

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 this barrenness 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
Like reflections on the page
The worlds what you create
I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralysed
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
Like reflections on the page
The worlds what you create
The worlds what you create
Let it out let it out
