Mike Portnoy演唱的The Best Of Times，雖然他的嗓子並不太適合唱這種歌，不過可以感覺出MP是在努力滿含感情 地演唱這首歌，尤其是唱到那句“Those were the best of times”，優美的旋律幾乎讓人窒息。（轉）

歌曲歌詞
Let it out, let it out Feel the empty Space So insecure find the words and let it out Staring down, staring down Nothing comes to mind Find the place turn the water into wine But I feel I'm getting nowhere And I'll never see the end So I wither And render myself helpless I give in and everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me Turn it on Turn it on Let the feelings flow Close your eyes See the ones you used to know Open up open up Don't struggle to relate Lure it out Help the memory escape Still this barrenness consumes me And I feel like giving up So I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me I wither And give myself away Like reflections on the page The worlds what you create I drown in hesitation My words come crashing down And all my best creations Burning to the ground The thought of starting over Leaves me paralysed Tear it out again Another one that got away I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me I wither And give myself away Like reflections on the page The worlds what you create The worlds what you create Let it out let it out
