Todd Michael Hall - 'Wait For Sleep' - (Dream Theater vocal cover)

Standing by the window,
eyes upon the moon.
Hoping that the memory
will leave her spirit soon.

She shuts the doors and lights
and lays her body on the bed.
Where images and words
are running deep.

She has too much pride
to pull the sheets
above her head.

So quietly she lays
and waits for sleep.

She stares at the ceiling
and tries not to think,
and pictures the chains
she's been trying to link again.

But the feeling is gone!

Water can't cover her memory,
and ashes can't answer her pain.
God give me the power to take
breath from a breeze and call life
from a cold metal frame.

In with the ashes
or up with the smoke
from the fire.

With wings up in heaven
or here, lying in bed,
palm of her hand to my head.

Now and forever curled
in my heart and the heart
of the world.

Ο Todd Michael Hall έγινε γνωστός στο "μεταλλικό" κοινό λόγω της παρουσίας του στους Riot V (τα τελευταία ένδεκα έτη). Παράλληλα έχουμε ακούσει την φωνή του σε δίσκους των Jack Starr's Burning Starr, Timo Tolkki's Avalon, Reverence κλπ.

Σήμερα θα τον παρακολουθήσουμε, σε βίντεο, να αποδίδει (φωνητικά) το τραγούδι των Dream Theater "Wait For Sleep" από τον "μυθικό" δίσκο των Αμερικανών progsters "Images and Words" που κυκλοφόρησε το μακρινό 1992 και να μας λέει σχετικά:

«I received the Images and Words album by Dream Theater as a gift from a friend, Marnie Cramer, way back in 1992 when it was first released. It is a fantastic album and I enjoy singing along to it.

I have not spoken to Marnie for 30 years, but I still think of her whenever I hear this album. It is interesting how music becomes the soundtrack of our lives and has the ability to transport us back in time.»
