Take the Time - Dream Theater - MP3 instrumental karaoke

American progressive metal band Dream Theater released their second album Images and Words in 1992. With this sophomore release, the band expanded their sonic palette to include production elements from pop music, combined with the group’s trademark music sophistication and rhythmic trickery. Instrumentally, “Take the Time” is a collaborative effort, with each band member—Kevin Moore, John Ro Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy—writing a different piece of the song. Lyrically, the song expresses the frustrations of attempting to find a new lead singer following the departure of Charlie Dominici after their previous album. The song was produced by David Prater and was released as the second single from Images and Words, following “Pull Me Under.” Images and Words peaked at Number 61 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and “Take the Time” reached Number 29 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
