Song lyrics
Remember days of yesterday
How it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had
I thought would always last

Those summer days and west coast dreams
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father
Idol and best friend

I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget

The morning shows on the radio
The Case of the Missing Dog,
Lying on the pillows at the old 812
Watching Harold and Maude

The record shops, the stickball fields
My home away from home
And when we weren't together
The hours on the phone

I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
I'll cherish them forever
The best of times

But then came the call
Our lives changed forever more
"You can pray for a change
But prepare for the end..."

The fleeting winds of time
Flying through each day
All the things I should've done
But time just slipped away
Remember seize the day

Life goes by in the blink of an eye
With so much left to say

These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit lit my life each day

Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the smiles
All the unconditional love
That carried me for miles
It carried me for miles

But most of all thank you for my life

These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit lit my life each day

My heart is bleeding bad
But I'll be ok
Your spirit guides my life each day

The Best of Times by Dream Theater

The Best of Times, written by Mike Portnoy. The story is about Mike Portnoy's father who dies in cancer. A very strong and a very sad story and very well written by Mike Portnoy. One of his best works.

Rhythm: It begins with piano and strings, wich make the song sad. When all the instruments are coming in it will become faster, and then the vocals coming it and the "flow" will make you come into it too.
Melody: The solo in the ending (around a 3:15 long solo) has a melody wich is the "main melody" of the song.
Instruments: They are like always; making the song even better with their instrumental talents.
Lyrics: The subject of the song is very strong and is well written by Mike Portnoy. Great!
Vocal: James LaBried nailed it!
