I'm gonna be 65 this year, heard lots of music over the years, 60's thru the present and this still sticks with me. One of the most beautiful I've ever heard.
I lost my wife of almost 20 years to Cancer on 09/12/22.... When we first met I took her to a Queensryche concert in Albuquerque,NM. That was night we both really understand that we were soul mates I guess... And I held her when they started playing this song, and we were inseparable since than. It was early 2020 we found out she had Cancer and because of Covid it was hard to get into a hospital for treatment. Two years went by with very little medical visits till early 2022 and things took a turn for the worse and did my very best to be there for her as much as I could. I even quit my job just to take her to her Chemotherapy treatment and stuff. I could tell by her physical appearance that her body was getting frail but to me she is always that beautiful Navajo woman that I fell with regardless of her physical appearance. She left us ( our kids and I)! in the early morning hours of 09/12/22. And eversince than I would dream of her and till a month later she came to me once again in my dream and told me she is home and gonna go to sleep and eversince than I felt peace and Comfort. Rest easy my love Tawnya I love and miss you tremendously 😭
I’m sooo very sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine a loss like that. My gf’s dad passed away in 2022. Her mom and dad had been married for over 40 years (since they were like 16) and this is the first time she’s genuinely lived alone, let alone without her husband. Stories like this break my heart so bad and wish there could be some miracle to bring them back.
My 5 yr old grandson lost his mother last year. I'm crying, thinking of the loss he will have for the rest of his life. I can only hope that Anjelica is watching over her son. He's upstairs sleeping, preschool in the morning -we try to keep a routine but, the loss is always there. I keep a collage of pictures of Anjelica and Cam at his eye level. So he sees them every day but, those pictures will never change. She's not here. God, the pain.
This song is masterpiece. I played this song after I was dealing with health issues 4 years ago. And 3 years later today, I’m now cancer free! Hallelujah!
So sorry for your loss, he is sleeping with the Angeles now and will forever watch over you both. May flights of Angele's sing thee to thy rest! Your in the arms of the Angeles, may you find some comfort here!
I lost my husband to cancer. He left us on Thanksgiving night, November 26, 2020. This reminds me of him also. My prayers go out to you. 31 is way to young. My hubby was 58, we weren’t ready. Bless you.
Todd Nelson, omg im so sorry to hear that you have cancer and you are dying omg I can't believe I just read this my husband just passed away last November with liver cancer and colon cancer we're married 7 years it was a love of my life the true love of my life my life will never be the same until I'm with him again until God puts us back together my life is completely empty on Earth without him and I am so sorry to hear that you had this cancer I will pray for you Todd now that I have seen this I am so sorry God bless you I hope you are saved by Jesus I hope that you know Jesus I hope u know that Jesus died on the cross for you and he loves you with all his heart if you don't know Jesus please ask him to come into your heart and he will forgive you just say the sinner's prayer and he will forgive you if you don't know Jesus Merry Christmas Todd and a Happy New Year not sure how long the doctors gave you don't even know what kind of cancer do you have you know if you ask Jesus to take away the cancer he can do that Jesus can do anything just because Jesus didn't care my husband of cancer don't mean he can't care yours Jesus is a good god Jesus has a reason for everything just remember to stay in there be strong and God bless you
My husband died in Feb. We were together 37 years. Hearing this transports me back to our first apartment together. Playing this track on our giant stereo system. So soothing.
I’m an 80s child and I had my children in my 40’s, my youngest is 8. They all LOVE the 80s music. They say it all sounds different, that the music today all has a similar sound. Currently they are huge Supertramp fans. I know Supertramp formed in the 70’s but their first really big album was in 79 which is close enough to the 80’s. I was only 8 but their album Breakfast in America was a part of my growing up. I love hearing my 8yo singing take a jumbo across the water, like to see America. He asked me what exactly is a jumbo! It’s a big jet my dear child. A 747.
The 70's and 80's, That was the time to grow up and we have the Best Music ever, there will never be anything like it ... I just turned 59, I really miss those days 😊!🙏
Not just the 90s, Sharon. I was a young G.I. when MTV first came out in the 80s. Amazing we thought ourselves so modern and sophisticated back then, when we were all still living in the analog age and finding nothing whatsoever wrong with it. Now we live in the nearly-fully digital age, and most of us old enough to have learned it from the 'Old School' are fluent in both 'languages'. But I can also state firmly that what came along with this overdependence on the digital universe, our having flushed things that truly mattered in exchange for hollow promises, artificial urgencies, and too much distance between ourselves to the point we're strangers and enemies, give me 30 or 40 years ago in a heartbeat. Life was vastly better then... for ALL of us. And I'm old enough to be able to make a clear comparison.
Without fail and with perfect clarity i can see this on MTV. This played on the radio and i would go to sleep listening to it or"jet city woman". Those times seem so very far away and though for me and many others they were tough times but either way i keep a certain romantic memory of it.
I played this song for my son every night at bedtime. He was not quite 2 yet and had just lost his father. It helped both of us deal with the pain of his passing. Sorry that there are people out there that do not like the band but for my son and I this song helped us, me, deal with a very painful experience. Thank you for your time, Julia
Hi Julia, Its sad that you have to associate this song with a time of grief but at least you will be able to see your sons father in him, nothing is lost forever. I hope your son can retain some memories of his dad, peace to you both :))
Dear julia i'm sure his father will guide both off you! so be strong you will feel a hand on your shoulder a whisper sometimes , daddy is always in your heart so he's always around in spirit heart &mind.wounds may heal the scar remains! my condoleances RIP daddy
Julia, I think it is so cool you played this song for your son. Very relaxing in a time of stress. Bless you sweet heart. Give your kid a hug from me. How old is he now and I hope doing OK
I lost 6 people in my family in the past 10 years and it's really difficult to keep pushing on. This song is so beautiful and peaceful, I listen to it too help me heal.
I have had it proved to me several times in my life, that there is life after death and You will see all the people who have passed before you. They are all there waiting and watching for You. I don't know if this helps, but it is true!
They tell me in dying of stage 4 cancer. Songs like this one fill my heart with ease and comfort. I hope that one day my daughter will listen to them and think of me when I’m gone. God bless all and stay strong hearted.
"Silent Lucidity" Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help you see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity [spoken during solo] (Visualize your dream) (Record it in the present tense) (Put it into a permanent form) (If you persist in your efforts) (You can achieve dream control) (Dream control) (How are we feeling today, better??) (Dream control, dream control) (Help me) If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help to see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you....
I heard this song a few months ago and hadn't heard it in years. A bit later I dreamed about my deceased father. He told me everything was okay and I could live with him. It was special because we weren't speaking when he passed and I have regretted not saying goodbye to him every day since he passed.
Never really paid attention to the lyrics when this song was popular. I'm 46 now and life has taken many swings at me, battered but never broken. Some days are harder than others, you think of so many people that aren't with us anymore and so much sadness in the world around us. Keep searching for the beautiful things that keep us here. Thank you to my guardian angel for protection.
Very sorry for your loss,,,, it's very hard to understand the decisions of God but to me parents never should lose their kids 😭 I hold you in the distance,,,, may your kid rest in peace 🤍🙏🏻❗
This guy will never know how much of a gift this song is to my sister and me. We always played it to feel protected from the nightmare that was our family while growing up. We always wished so much that he’d come rescue us. It’s amazing the power music has on us! I’m forever grateful!
I feel your pain my friend and the pain of the memories, I too used to use music to escape from the brutality of my childhood, may our music and music for generations to come sooth all of us and help to put our souls at peace. 😢🤔
I can relate completely. How the hell my Mom, sister, brother and myself made it out of that house that night in Tampa so many years ago had to have been God interceding. My Dad didn't make it. Sadly, my memories never allow me to forget it. Peace. 😐
My dad used to sing this to me all the time. He passed of cancer 2021 and yesterday this song came on the radio. It's like he came to see me. Telling me he is with me. I cried but it was such a good moment. ❤ I love it.
In 1990, I was 7 months pregnant with my son and went to this concert. He kicked like crazy until this song came on. He stopped kicking and just listened. I lost my sweet autistic son 5 years ago and every time this song comes on, I cry and long to be in that moment again 😢
I'm so sorry, Jenna. Living after a child has left his or her body has to be one of the hardest things in life anyone can go through. Thanks for sharing. I wish you the best.
This song reminds me of The Starry Night and Van Gogh's Love for his brother. He was by his side all his life and laid beside him like when they were children while he passed. 😢
Silent Lucidity Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you, leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day, your dream is over Or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there, But only didn't realize, and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you'll hear and see This magic, new dimension I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through I will protect you in the night I'm smiling next to you In silent lucidity Visualize your dream (yes) Record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form (yes) If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control (help me) How are we feeling today, better?

I'm 57 and I can listen to music 24/7. This has been on repeat for about 1 hour now and it's on max volume, I think my wife is going to lose mind control but I'm fu**ing loving every second of it. Thank you everyone for this magical ride. God bless you ALL.....................
Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over or has it just begun?

The words are so Deep !!!! Every time I hear it , I feel like I go on this Journey and chills begin and tears flow 😢 THE Mind Is Powerful and so is this Song , It's Timeless 4 ever Thank you for putting up the words , ❤ ✌ Huge Fan from Florida 🌞
My sister's favorite band. She had their autographs tattoed on her wrist. She went to so many meet and greets. Said everyone in the band were the nicest dude's ever. She passed away two days ago. RIP Diane "Tess" Schiele.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. If you are hurting in this life, especially if you are grieving and desperately missing a loved one, please know that one day, it will get a little easier. I lost my mom almost 8 years ago suddenly to cancer, she was an Angel, and only 65. I honestly have no idea how I made it. I cried rivers and listened to mostly 80s (and 70s) music every night until there were no tears left. I hope you can find your own strength and solace, in whatever way helps you. Just know you are not alone. ❤ "Never lose hope, my dear heart, miracles dwell in the invisible." - Rumi ✨
The 80s was a magical time to be alive. This song is near and dear to my heart. Every word of this song came true for me in real life. Its as if the song was written just for me.
Sorry for your loss, I lost my brother and my parents within a short time. But I feel their presence on bad days. I am glad you found solace in music as it helps the soul. The saying at the end of your comment is beautiful.
My momma passed in April 2024 and it's hard. Her mental illness took her from a beautiful person to a depressed shell. She sat down and died leaving us in forever pain. To everyone dealing with such things, please be encouraged and be Blessed. ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mom, in April of 2024 also. She had cancer, but no one knew it because her doctors were too busy being doctors. She was finally diagnosed and they said she had 6 months. So we brought her home and she died 6 days later. So fast. I am still in denial.
My mom passed in November after 26 years of Parkinson's. What a journey. I hope you find the memories that make you laugh and smile with your tears. Today is a day of memories this great band brought us before the music died. 8.30.24 RIP to a great guitarist
FatalPies This is a different type of song. They said it was beautiful. Songs from other albums like Operation Mindcrime were more thought provoking and held different context. Albeit, this song was a wildcard on the Empire album, it still a beautiful song. Also, that is their opinion and you are entitled to yours. So try to be mindful of that.
Listen to Steelheart - Angel Eyes (Never Let You Go)... it's my wedding song, but, I'm not bias... this man's octave range, resonance & sustain are UNREAL.
My mother died on Valentine's day. I had listened to Queensryche for a while. When I had to move her car this cd was in the player, on this song. It was then that I really listened to the lyrics and it literally became a part of my soul. I love you mom!
I'm so sorry about your mom. That is a beautiful "coincidence" that this song was in her car when you first moved it after she passed. My mom died in 2014. Devastating. It's coming up on 8 years now and I'm still not right. She and I both loved another song from that time period you might remember - "I'll Be There" by Escape Club.
In 1990 I was driving around and I heard this song, I didn't get the name of the band , I could only remember the lyric 'I'm smiling next to you', I have been trying to find this song for 30 years!!! I found it today, i'm really happy, love to you all!
I heard this song once and called the radio station and every night I would call the DJ and try to figure it out... Only took me 6 years of everyone not knowing what I was talking about and finally a friend told me and I was like yes, that's it...
My Father was a man of...no words. He passed on November 18th 2023 very quickly from Brain Cancer. During his short stay in palliative he put this song on for me, watched me while I sat there and took in this song in its entirety. When it finished, through my tears I asked him if this was his message to me for after he was gone. He said no, that it was just a song he liked. So thank you for saying what my Dad couldnt.
I haven't heard this song in years. I forgot how beautiful and moving it is. I'm in tears listening and reading all the heartwrenching comments and stories of those of you who've lost loved ones...my heart and love goes out to all of you...❤

Dream control, dream control Help me If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once, you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but will be watching over you (I) am gonna help you see it through (I) will protect you in the night (I) I'm smiling next to you
This is so true. At 71 years-old I understand that my mother was there with me whenever I had dreams. We often had the same dream with levels of different interpretation due to her maturity and understanding of the intuitive outcome. She was wise beyond my understanding of the actual message of our duel dream. At the time, it was strange and yet mystifying that she protected me always. Even in sleep, while away from her and while with her. I was blessed and didn't know it. I wish that I could have been half the mother that she had been to me with my daughter. As we age we realize the gifts life has bestowed upon us as youth I could not see. I have been so blessed in my life. Thank you to my parents, family and friends for all I was blind to earlier in life. Age can bring wisdom that would be missed due to everyday hustle and bussel of life. Now I have time to reflect on life from a very different perspective. Thank you my dear ones in life. Thank you ancestors and God for your light and love and understanding. May I be blessed with eternal knowledge and understanding of my lives. In Silent Lucidity. ❤
So sorry , I lost my mother when I was 11 & that was in 1983 , I still have a rough time sometimes but I'm strong enough to make it , I know it's going to be tough for a long time but keep your head up & think positive , that's what he would want
Sorry for your loss Chelsea 😞 Your Dad had excellent taste in music and he wanted to share his eternal love for you through this classic masterpiece...
God bless and keep you through your times of struggle. There are no words that can contain what you're enduring and I'm sorry for that. Keep your heart and mind connected to all that is good and loving and you'll see better times to come. Thank you for sharing your story and being transparent.
I had this cassette in Saudi during Desert Shield/Storm and would look at the stars at night hoping to make it home. Months later I made it home and turned on the tv and this song started to play. I cried. God was telling me I was home. Will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Queensryche for the incredible memories.
I used to listen to this song while my brother took part in Desert storm and I'd hope he was ok. It was his cd. He came home mostly ok. Thanks for your service.
My son passed away today and this is the song that I dedicated to him when he was born in 1991, the same year Queensryche released the Empire album. RIP my son.
I lost my son in 2000 from an apparent suicide at the age of 26 !! I miss him like it was yesterday !! This song makes me think of him !! He loved this group and song !! Rest in Peace , my son !! I'll see you on the Other Side !!
I am! I saw them live in Nashville on the OPERATION: MINDCRIME tour. My best friend's brother went with us and was pissed they didn't play Silent Lucidity. It was the only Queensryche song he knew and was getting major radio play at the time. There is a great live version of Suite Sister Mary from the MINDCRIME tour on RU-vid!
My mother just passed away and I'm crying right now listening to this song. My mother used to love this song and we used to listen to it together. I miss her so much. Sometimes I guess I can't handle the pain inside
We came of age during a unique and special time for music. The memories and a few treasured t-shirts still remain. It really was a great ride wasn't it!?
Just lost my Brother in Law to Cancer. My heart is broken, My Sisters Heart is Broken. Damn! You left a Huge hole in All our hearts!! RIP Other Brother!!
My dad loved Queensryche so much, so much so that my first concert (as a 6 year old) was Queensryche. He would play me this song whenever I couldn't sleep as a toddler and small child because it relaxed me. He died in April of 2020, and listening to this song makes me feel so much closer to him.
Brother...you just brought me to tears. That's one of the most touching Father/Son bonding's, through music, recollections that I have ever heard. I'm really sorry you lost him. I lost mine as well. But at the same time, the two of you will ALWAYS have this connection. Something that you can continue and maybe even pass on, until you both finally meet and can, once again, listen to this TOGETHER. Bless you both!
So sorry for your loss Alex. Your Dad loved you so much to share this with you, the music, the concert, his time was for you. Now this is your time to share with your Dad ... he gave you all that he loved best....and that my friend is you, with your Dad in your heart. Walk softly in in his shoes with pride.
Boyfriend of 6 years only ever played this song for me after he was diagnosed with cancer. He has been gone a little over a year now. I know he is with me. Smiling at my wins. Holding my hand during my down days.
Tonya Deal. I am VERY sorry to hear the news of your boyfriend... My Sister passed away from Colon Cancer 4 years ago. Her Birthday is Christmas day... I Dedicated this song to her before she passed away and she got to listen to it.. I hope you see this message and please know that you are not alone..... ❤
@@nicolemaxwell6354 Neil's birthday was November 28 he passed December 13th he didn't get to see me graduate with my bachelor which he was one of my biggest cheerleaders for. I feel as if he was with me that last semester was hard dealing with the grief, the pandemic, working full-time and going to school full-time. I didn't really deal with the grief until afterwards. I just knew I had to finish what I started. I made a promise to move forward. I find it hard after a year.
My Dad asked my cousin to play this song as we all sat in my Uncle’s backyard after his funeral and I’ll never forget the sight of my Dad trying to hold it together as it played. He said it was one of my Uncle’s favorite songs and every time I hear it, I think of that moment
I was recovering from surgeries and chemo alone after a divorce when my son came to my house for Father’s Day. Sickly I went out to cook for him and his friend because he knew I liked to do that while this played on repeat over and over ❤. I’m still here since 1993 at 75 years old.
My son is special needs, almost died at 20 days old, he is my miracle child and just turned 18. He is physically and mentally handicapped and this song touches me so deeply to think that when my child is sleeping and dreaming, he is free to be whoever and do whatever he wants to do and can see the world without his handicaps holding him down. I dedicate this song to my sweet son
Aerin Freno. Hello my friend. I'd like to write some article about your history. I'm journalist, i use to collaborate to some Heavy Metal Website and have my own columnist according genre, writing through my blog too. Would be awesome, if you really feel interested to send a little about your dialy and your son. I come from press about Brazil. thanks, god bless you...
My passed away peacefully last week..listening to this song helping me release the tears..to anyone who lost a loved one..my love to all of you..God bless 🙌 🙏 ✝️
In 1991 at age 35 I was diagnosed with senovial sarcoma in my right leg , I loved this song and helped me get thru the surgery and radiation , I am still here !
To me, this song does not evoke thoughts of loved ones who passed away, but our ability to take control of how we perceive the world around us and how we have the power to achieve our goals, if the fates allow. This is a heartfelt song, but it also puts things into perspective, to let go of pain, but never forget that feeling when we need to be humbled and need the strength to push forward. This is not a song of loss, but rather a song of opportunity, to me anyway.
Omg I can't believe I finally found this song. When I was little my dad sang this song to me and played the guitar and I fell asleep to it. I'm in my teens now and I finally found it. I cried watching it. Brings back so many memories 😂
Aww, I am glad you found the song that has special meaning to your childhood and your dad!! :) It is a beautiful song and one of my favourites as well.
Tonight is the first time I have heard this angelic song. I have hit the replay button 6 times and don't expect this to be the last time either. What a beautiful song. This is how music empowers people. Pure bliss. thank you. Keep up the good work guys.
My mom was born in 1945. She heard my music growing up. She loved this song. I played this song at her funeral in 2019. I wrote her a poem in the card that people got. It was perfect funeral. I love you mom!!
@@JoshuaWilsonpossible Thanks for the reply!! I got to have closure with mom before she died of cancer. I have peace now even though I miss her so much.
When this song came out people made fun of me for saying it was Pink Floyd like. When I met my husband he said he thought it sounded like a Floyd song.
I felt exactly the same way about it when it first came out. They were obviously inspired by Floyd, if not actually creating an astounding homage to the older masters. Having only discovered this song for the first time earlier that day, I played it over and over again when I had more time that night, picking up new subtleties with every rehearing, while roaming at night with all the windows down in my little car, alone and unnoticed, crossing the sleeping farmland of rural Illinois, unaware of what the future held for me that would make this song even more poignant. In only a few short years I would be mourning the unexpected tragic loss of my eldest child to drowning on what was to have been her 12th birthday. I clung to this song in the fervent hope it might be true, and despite her new residence in heaven, that she might still take the time to be smiling next to me.
Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I... will be watching over you I... am gonna help you see it through I... will protect you in the night I... am smiling next…
This song will always make me miss my mother. Was her favorite song by Queensryche. Played it on repeat the day she died. I know you're here now, mom. I love you. This one is for you.
+Racheal Danielle Gorbea Same deal with my father some months ago. Sorry for your loss. I feel like he communicates through song lately, especially classic ones like this that he loved.
I am 17 now, but when I was little, my dad used to play this song for me on his guitar whenever I had a bad dream. Anytime I hear it, it takes me back to that time.
+pokerus230 Every year on my birthday my Dad plays it for me. The past 3 years now though I've been in the Army and haven't been home, so I figured I'd come by here to listen to it.
My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. I'm proud to say he had amazing taste in music and because of that, he had a huge influence on my musical interests. He loved this song. My love for Queensrÿche and my love for this song...I influenced him too. I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. ❤️
My dad passed away one month ago because of covid-19, he dedicated me this song when I was just a kid and until now I could understand the beautiful and deep message of it. Whenever I think of him, I come here, I listen to this song, for some particular reason it brings me a lot of calm and peace.
So sorry to hear about your dad. It's not easy loosing a parent ,I lost both many years ago ,its still hard for me. Sorry you lost him due to this dam covid ,so very sorry.
This song is a timeless masterpiece. Just exquisite. As far as I'm concerned, this song has no equal. Emotionally, it gets to me every time I hear it. To have written something so beautiful, so heartfelt, so utterly brilliant is exceptional talent indeed.
I don't even have words to describe how magical this song was to me 30 years ago. I still absolutely love it. It is a special song that is one of my all-time favorites ❤❤❤
This song makes me yearn for something that I don't even think exists. I hope to find something in life that makes me feel the way I feel when I hear this song....
My brother loved music so much, he would always hear more than I ever could in songs, and teach me about them. He introduced me to so much music, but especially Queensryche, this song always reminds me of him. I miss you Joel. Some day I will hear you sing again in heaven.
