this man spoken all the things i never had balls to say to myself nor others... god bless poets who opened their naked souls so we never needed to do the same...
felt in love with then in 1996 and still love them thanks to the progresition and grat albums they had made through the years. classic rock, classic prog, fusion, sicodelic rock, prog metal, hard metal prog, you name it and theyhad touched it. that is why they rules in my world. since the 90's when nobody knew who the hell they were.
True story: When Steven was 8 his father and mother gave themselves 2 albums for Christmas The Dark Side of the Moon and Love to Love You Baby these two albums influenced his whole musical career
This has got to be one of there best songs. And that is really saying something. But this whole album is great. This is my favorite song ever. And I love the lyrics.
Sʟᴇɴᴅᴇʀ Mᴀɴ There could be only two people in the world, but you would just need to watch the video over and over again. But for the likes you would need to create fucking many accounts..
Did he really say that? LOL I can see why. I think this song has a Soundgarden esq. feel to it, or something you would hear on a WWE PPV back in the day. Regardless, it's one of my favorite songs by them.
You should listen to the whole album. Downloaded it way back when I got my launch 360. Totally changed my life. PT just has that effect. It's such an amazing band, and Steven Wilson is amazing at his craft.
He's probably referring to how people say that Porcupine Tree are a combination of two different bands. He's saying that Porcupine Tree sound like Porcupine Tree. An awesome band.
At 2:58, it sounds like someone is saying, "My hot sausage, is so hot (blows on sausage)". If you run it backwards through audio editing software, it actually says, "(huff) I'll do it, Sir. I guess I'll just ????" Does anyone know what the "????" is?
I have seen more maddest person than me singing and everything on music I meet him many times while i sing And i wonder what a nice like i never left the pure madness
@HeadbangMushroom me too... wierd! I wonder if it comes with the song? I also got other songs that I found on my 360, but they fail in comparison to Shallow! maybe because they were all crappy...?
Progrock fans need to stop looking down on all other music. Breaking Benjamin introduced me to Tool (which are their idols), Tool introduced me to bands like Porcupine Tree and Mars Volta.
solid. I was leery of this band because of their prog label. nonetheless, this is good. tuff guitar and drums. a dystopian post-nirvana atmosphere. maybe a bit of metallica influence. perhaps some king crimson influence as well.
Tool and Porcupine Tree both have entire different styles. I don't believe either had any inspiration from the other in developing their unique sounds.
This was the first metal song I ever listened to. It came with my launch 360. I've become such an avid metal and prog head now that I never realized that I must have replayed this song a bazillion times. Probably why it's my least favorite PT song. It's just crazy that I got into this because Microsoft put this song on my 360. Makes me wonder...how many metalheads would exist if metal was more exposed?
@jek21 Nu-metal may be rough, but it has produced a lot of gems. If you are disagreeing with Steven when it comes to music you may need to reevaluate your position! ; )

i don't understand how people can dislike anything Steven does? genius of our time
Are you alive bite your tongue
True story:
When Steven was 8 his father and mother gave themselves 2 albums for Christmas
The Dark Side of the Moon and Love to Love You Baby
these two albums influenced his whole musical career
Okay, NOW this song makes sense!
This has to be one of my favorite songs on the deadwing album.
Love he's voice. The chorus is just amazingly good.
My iPod tells me I've listened to this song 1967 times...in a year.
I love the bridge with the piano! Great lyrics, bass and guitar work...
One of the greatest Slammers i´ve ever heard! Kicks soooo much butt!
one of the most badass chorus ive ever heard. with the riff, makes the song perfect.
This has got to be one of there best songs. And that is really saying something. But this whole album is great. This is my favorite song ever. And I love the lyrics.
This song is the best deserves 1000 000 000 000 000 000 likes and views
But there are only 7 billion people :s
Sʟᴇɴᴅᴇʀ Mᴀɴ There could be only two people in the world, but you would just need to watch the video over and over again. But for the likes you would need to create fucking many accounts..
At 260 seconds in length, this would work out fine if 7 billion people each listened to the song for 1176.9 years straight.
Thanks for posting the original version... i love this song :)
one of the best songs i've ever heard. brilliant!!!
finally, a studio version. there must be 500 covers on youtube.
amazing! I've never listened to that kind of genre,.. but I really love it!
it's not really "prog." more like alt metal with a bit of a prog influence........
This song is unreal...
This track is like a cross between the best parts of Jerry Cantrell, Velvet Revolver, Nickleback and Filter. Love it. :)
Porcupine Tree rocks, thanks for posting this
hello 2005...right where i left you, and you never felt so good
Porcupine + Tree = Porcupine Tree = Real music
i've just been listening to PT the whole day now.. feels great
this is an amazing song
thank you sooo much :D
Somehow this song was on my first Xbox 360 at some point. When I discovered it, I played it through Skate everytime.
THIS SONG IS TOO DOPE. It's a damn shame Porcupine Tree is broken up. God willing they'll have atleast a few reunion tours.
Not gonna hapened. Steven Wilson said it's over.
Sung Yul Taylor noooooo, I've only just discovered them and was hoping to see them live :(((
One of the thing prog bands which actually writes songs.
"Steven Wilson himself described “Shallow” as “the closest Porcupine Tree has come to making a big dumb rock song"
Did he really say that? LOL I can see why. I think this song has a Soundgarden esq. feel to it, or something you would hear on a WWE PPV back in the day. Regardless, it's one of my favorite songs by them.
It would have been a big dumb rock song if Nickelback created it. They don't have Gavin Fucking Harrison do they?!
@olivier - can you please give reference?
guess I love big dumb rock songs then. Shallow gets me going.
The lyrics and title fit well with the style of song too :-)
Songs are so worked, nice !
Haha, heard this song the first time on my friends xbox 360 a couple years back. Its just... Just... Soo epicly awesome.
You should listen to the whole album. Downloaded it way back when I got my launch 360. Totally changed my life. PT just has that effect. It's such an amazing band, and Steven Wilson is amazing at his craft.
I love PT → when they assult your senses with flat out kick ass Rock.!! Deadwing is awesome..!!!
el piano que suena detras en el segundo 0:45 es genial. apartado pero le da un toque melodico genial!!!!!!
@Periklis Arnaoutis yes!! So true. These guys are the best.
He's probably referring to how people say that Porcupine Tree are a combination of two different bands. He's saying that Porcupine Tree sound like Porcupine Tree. An awesome band.
Deadwing is awesome..!!! TRUE!!!
When this song starts out I want to start singing "cross eyed mary...."
Too Awesome..!!!
i love them.....
Bad ass song!!
Great
The intro to this song plays while you blend some dude's head in Downfall.
I think Mikael Akerfeldt made a collaboration in this CD, playing some guitars. I love them so much!
At 2:58, it sounds like someone is saying, "My hot sausage, is so hot (blows on sausage)". If you run it backwards through audio editing software, it actually says, "(huff) I'll do it, Sir. I guess I'll just ????" Does anyone know what the "????" is?
Nope. One hears what one wants to I guess.
Pranav Sharma
I totally agree!!
This song was a concession to their label as an attempt at a hit single. WILSON states he regrets doing that in 2004.
YES FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
porcupine tree and Radiohead? you and I would get along man
I had this chorus in my head all day. All fukin'day day long. >
I have seen more maddest person than me singing and everything on music
I meet him many times while i sing
And i wonder what a nice like i never left the pure madness
sound so 90`s!!
This song would be SO awesome as the entrance theme of a pro wrestler.
That feel when the lyrics are my life story...
I like your ginger AFRO and the sunglasses neonbible13
@demonholocaust101
Haven't listened to Filter for years, awesome band =)
They are F*cking AMAZIING in concert! I had never heard of them and I went with a friend and they tore the motherf*cker up! I'm a fan for life!
Reminds me of Tool wow but still really good!!! Lyrics are great, too.
@ilhadi No no...I'm quite sure those are just the ones who were so exited that it made them have some hand coordination problems :D
I think musicians from PT wanted this "Click" to be at the beginning. It's just an arrangement.
@HeadbangMushroom me too... wierd!
I wonder if it comes with the song?
I also got other songs that I found on my 360, but they fail in comparison to Shallow!
maybe because they were all crappy...?
Tune Rock On Brother. > ,DJ(UNITE)MC - UK.
Agree with you.
Shallow shallow Give it to me give it to me
Mind = blown
proof that if you look, there is always a twist with pentatonic. (you just have to look for it)
Dam! Serious shit this is. Love it.
why was/is this not on the radio
It's like asking "Why this riff is so good?".
could u hepl me please....:what does "i live to function"exactly mean?....
Progrock fans need to stop looking down on all other music. Breaking Benjamin introduced me to Tool (which are their idols), Tool introduced me to bands like Porcupine Tree and Mars Volta.
I'm sick of the covers too. Thanks
@pompa98
Lead guitar is used to pace the music rather than to play a melody.
@echoingheads proclaiming them gods of music would still be underrating them :D
Tune Rock On Brother. > DJ(UNITE)MC - UK.
@vishnu5899 definetely a compliment for them :)
@QingLong90 ...? Whats dat?
I guess I should look it up...
Porcupine Tree+Porcupine Tree=Porcupine Tree.
Swallow, swallow, take it from me, take it from me...
why there is no live version of the song?
good times on the 360
shallow , shallow , no good to me , not if you bleed
Porcupine + Tree = Porcupine Tree
cool

C'mon! I can't believe 3 people thought the title to this song is about them.
Ooo extraño mi xbox. 360
been trying to find who sang this song for years, fuck i finally found it damn, awesome
solid. I was leery of this band because of their prog label. nonetheless, this is good. tuff guitar and drums. a dystopian post-nirvana atmosphere. maybe a bit of metallica influence. perhaps some king crimson influence as well.
absolutely. the drummer for them at this time, Gavin Harrison, actually plays with king crimson now
Tool and Porcupine Tree both have entire different styles. I don't believe either had any inspiration from the other in developing their unique sounds.
Why is there a loud ''Click'' at the beginning?
Brilliant song is it neon bible13
porcupine+tree=porcupine tree
porcupine tree+porcupine tree=a small wooded area populated by porcupines
This was the first metal song I ever listened to. It came with my launch 360. I've become such an avid metal and prog head now that I never realized that I must have replayed this song a bazillion times. Probably why it's my least favorite PT song.

Makes me wonder...how many metalheads would exist if metal was more exposed?
This a good song to play COD campaign or something intense and extreme with but if you mute the vid and read the lyrics it makes no sense!
Massive glitchy squelch at beginning of your upload.
Wasn't happening before, will take a look. Thanks
@jek21
Nu-metal may be rough, but it has produced a lot of gems. If you are disagreeing with Steven when it comes to music you may need to reevaluate your position! ; )
very 90's ehehe
covers...not gonna work with this music! porcupine tree ROCKS!
when wlll they put the automatically replay button here?
no good to me, not if you bleed
bite your tongue, ignore the splinter...
@mikedarkhawk ... How?
@DAxZOHAN thats how i found about this band too xD
