The New Song of DT (original) (raw)

Last night, I was washing my teeth while listening to YouTube, which is my routine. I was about to go to bed after finishing washing my teeth, but at that time I saw the notification on YouTube related to Dream Theater. "Is this a new song?" I thought, and IT DID!!

This song is the first song from the upcoming album which is scheduled to release in Feburary 2025. Also, the next album is the first album with Mike Portonoy after he left the band in 2010. The album is titiled "Parasomnia", and the song last night revealed is "Night Terror". I had no idea what these words mean, so I searched online, finding out that these are something about the syndrome in which people struggled with their sleeping habits. This might be a concept album, I thought.

Then the official Twitter account told the track list and its duration, which made me realize this must be a concept album! When I heard "Night Terror", I felt this tune represents all the elements Dream Theater has!! What the DT songs consist of is long introduction part and interplay part, odd rhythm, frequent tempo changes, and a unison by guitar and keyboard. Above all, Mike Portnoy's drumming style is quite imressive as he plays just as he did in DT, which is made of the classic Dream Theater songs.

Anyway, I was so excited last night that I was unable to fall asleep quickly. That said, I'm super good today for some reasons. With the release of the new song and the information of the new album, I'm deeply looking forward to my trip to London. This will be my epic journey!!

昨晩、いつものようにYouTubeを聴きながら歯を磨いていました。歯を磨き終えて寝ようとしたのですが、YouTubeにDream Theaterのお知らせが。「新曲？」と思ったら、そうでした！！

この曲は2025年2月にリリース予定の次のアルバムの1曲目です。また、次のアルバムは2010年にバンドを脱退したマイク・ポートノイが参加した最初のアルバムです。アルバムのタイトルは「Parasomnia」で、昨晩公開された曲は「Night Terror」です。この言葉の意味がわからなかったのでネットで調べたところ、睡眠習慣に悩む症候群に関するものだとわかりました。これはコンセプトアルバムかもしれないと思いました。

その後、公式Twitterアカウントでトラックリストと収録時間が公開され、これはコンセプトアルバムに違いないと確信しました！「Night Terror」を聴いたとき、この曲にはDream Theaterの要素がすべて表れていると感じました！！ DTの曲は、長いイントロとインタープレイ、変則的なリズム、頻繁なテンポチェンジ、ギターとキーボードのユニゾンで構成されています。何より、マイク・ポートノイのドラムスタイルは、ドリームシアターの名曲で構成されたDTをそのまま演奏しており、迫力満点です。

とにかく、昨夜は興奮しすぎてなかなか寝付けませんでした。とは言っても、今日はなぜかすごく調子がいいです。新曲のリリースとニューアルバムの情報で、ロンドン旅行がとても楽しみです。これは私にとって壮大な旅になるでしょう!!

  1. "washing my teeth" → "brushing my teeth"
    • You "brush" your teeth, not "wash" them.

    • Same issue with "washing" → "brushing."
  3. "IT DID!!" → "IT WAS!!"
    • The subject is "a new song," so it should be "it was" instead of "it did."
  4. "scheduled to release" → "scheduled to be released"
    • The passive form is needed here since the album is the subject, not the one doing the action.

The song is the first release from their upcoming album, which is scheduled to be released in February 2025. This album will also be the first one featuring Mike Portnoy since he left the band in 2010. The album is titled Parasomnia, and the song revealed last night is called Night Terror. I had no idea what these words meant, so I searched online and found out they refer to a sleep disorder where people struggle with their sleeping habits. This made me think it might be a concept album.

Then, the official Twitter account posted the track list and its durations, which made me realize—it really is a concept album! When I heard Night Terror, I felt like this song embodies all the elements that define Dream Theater! DT songs often feature long introductions, complex interplays, odd rhythms, frequent tempo changes, and intricate unison sections between the guitar and keyboard. Above all, Mike Portnoy's drumming is incredibly impressive—he plays just like he did during his time in DT, contributing to their classic sound.

Anyway, I was so excited last night that I couldn't fall asleep right away. That said, for some reason, I feel great today. With the release of the new song and the information about the new album, I’m more excited than ever for my trip to London. This will be an epic journey!

常々書いているけど、日本語で知っていても英語でどう表現するのか知らない、忘れてしまった、思いつかない、等のことは日常茶飯事である。本日のホームラン級のやらかしは歯磨きを「wash my teeth」と表現したことであろう。はい、brushやね。ブラッシングとかは普通に使うもんね。今後気をつけよう。

数日前からオフィスアカウントで仄めかしが続いていたから、そろそろ何かしらの情報があるはず！と踏んでいたらドンピシャのタイミングだった。いやはや、本当にしつこい感じのドラムをありがとう！って感じだわ。これはO2アリーナ公演が楽しみで仕方がない。このお楽しみのためにやれることは全てやるつもりだわ。

Pull me under, pull me under, I'm not afraid!!
