when the water breaks

suyun bile kırılmaya başlamasından çok, waterbreaking olayı, aslında tıp teriminde bebeğin plasenta kesesinin patlaması anlamına gelir...

john petrucci nin bu şarkı için yorumunu okursanız, niçin böyle bir isim konduğunu daha iyi anlayabilirsiniz:*
liquid tension un cd cover ın daki yorumlar:

mike:we would not be a ''real'' progressive band, if we didn't have our 20-minute(well ,almost) epic piece, now would we?!? this one was written over the course of 4 days and ended up being the only ''real'' composition written during the october sessions. John had to leave on the third day because of ''the water breaking'', which left the 3 of us to wrap up the writing without him...

john: it was the birth of my little angel, kiara, that inspired the title of this one! an alternate title could have been ''keeping up with jordan!''. the tony lavin driven cm jam is among some of my favorite moments.

Jordan: there is a particular riff that appears at both the beginning and end of this song that i originally wrote with the idea that it sholud sound like an extremely progressive dream theater riff a la metropolis or something like that. Of course that was written before i actually joined dt and before the lte2 sessions began. The baby soundscape in the middle is lte's sonic history markerfor the section we were working on ''when the water broke''.

tony: this is an epic! the notes for all sections would look like ''war and peace'' suffice is to say that the stick saw me through the piece, with some help from ring modulation. i did not envy john, having to catch up on some of the sections after the fact. The end product, though, was worth it.
