Dream Theater - Pull Me Under - Uncut, Single-Take Vocal Cover by David Lyon with Lyrics

  / davidlyonofficial  
Thumbs up for my buddy Sam! He always wants to be around and singing "backup vocals" when I'm recording, and sometimes the only way I can get him to shut up is to pick him up. Some months ago I posted a picture on my Facebook page of me holding him while singing, and several people asked/dared me to put up a video with me holding him, so... here ya go!

From their 1992 album, Images and Words, here is Pull Me Under - Dream Theater's telling of Shakespeare's "Hamlet". I loved DT long before this album came out, but this was the album that really solidified them as one of my all-time most influential bands. I hope you enjoy!

NOTE: I intentionally muted me talking to Sam, and my little warm-ups, etc in the audio mix, to keep the final mix clean and consistent as a high-quality musical product.

Lyrics:
Lost in the sky,
Clouds roll by, and I roll with them
Arrows fly,
The seas increase, and then fall again

This world is spinning around me,
This world is spinning without me, and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today, nor yet tomorrow
Then some other day

I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I have ever loved him
I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me,
The whole world keeps spinning around me, and
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under, pull me under,
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
The centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me,
The whole world is spinning inside me, and
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under, pull me under,
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Pull me under, pull me under,
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right

Pull me under, pull me under,
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Ohh that this too...
Too solid flesh would melt...
Ohh that this too...
Too solid flesh would melt...
