Without getting too snobby about music, for me I think it's like a spectrum with pure classical music at one end and pure 3 minute pop music at the other end. PT / SW and others in the prog genre (Genesis, Yes, Rush, Floyd, etc) seem to effortlessly take classical music and make it universally more accessible to the masses with evocative, and meaningful lyrics which resonate with aspects of people's lives and imagination in equal measure. In a word, brilliant! Long may it continue.
I know, right? His playing is so tasteful. With SW bringing Guthrie and Kilminster on board after him, Niko hardly gets a mention, but he was so perfect for Steven's music.
I think, more than getting hold of amazing drummers, his music demands such amazing and wonderful drumming that any drummer that suits his requirements would have to be an amazing and very gifted drummer.
Amen...he is amazing. I had tickets to see him in Asheville, North Carolina in December 2018 and a freak snow storm kept many away. Saddest day in recent memory...
Is it just me or is this solo underrated? In the studio version, it sounds exactly like a star transmuting into a black hole, and this version makes me think of the dying gasp of a supernova's brilliant glow
Steven Wilson is King with all the musicians being great but I think Adam Holzman on keyboards and Theo Travis on woodwinds are the 2 most underrated members of this band! *****Just Superb*****
Oh once in a while I learn how to smile Horses shadows and rain on stone No god here I'm sure This must be the cure For all this carrion and aimless drift Retreat from the begging And invites to the wedding Revelation means nothing here In time we forget our Need to devour All the stories of tortured souls Crawl into your arms Become the night forever Coiled and close, the moment froze Deform to form a star Here on earth together I got time to share and a well used stare This smile isn't pure Certain or sure Cold precision was never there The way we uncoil Return to the soil Flaws are everything and chaos reigns
Why do so many people get nostalgic about Porcupine Tree, saying that Steven's solo material is so different? This song could have been on Lightbulb Sun if you aske me. And besides, Hand. Cannot. Erase. and The Raven that Refused to Sing are certainly different from PT, but are they worse? I think they might be even better. There's absolutely no reason to get nostalgic about Porcupine Tree. I'm sure Steven still has to write his best record.
+Vincent Jurg He said the same things. He couldn´t play the new stuff with PT. Why? I think he must go his own way on another level. The success gives him right.
Dude there is no problem with being nostalgic and it also just happens I doubt the people you are speaking about choose to be nostalgic about PT, although they do probably say PT is better when they really should be saying that they like PT more because it makes them nostalgic. I like PT more partly because of nostalgia and partly because Gavin is the best drummer I've ever heard but Marco is close 2nd and H.C.E. is also right under FoaBP to me.
Oh my god that outro... Marco's feel to it is just so beautiful, the melody brings me back to a time I never lived... I always end up in tears after that outro
He came to NH7 Shillong dude... I saw him live....moving those fingers... Sang Routine, Ancestral, Lazarus, Postcard. He said...NH7 is said to be one of the most happiest fests in India...after that he said... "THIS TIME IT WONT BE"
Hahaha I saw him at Nh7 Pune. He said the same thing about Nh7 being called the Happiest Music Festival. Then he said: "I don't make happy music." Obsessed with Steven Wilson and his work.
Really Obsessed bro....He is one of the smartest players of all time.... the smart music he creates is really exceptional... And thats why it takes time to reach to his music...we need the smartness to absorb it...
How the fuck is Niko Tsonev playing that solo?? Is he pinching the notes constantly? Artificial harmonics? Ebow? Figuring the notes out isn't tough but man, that wailing tone is impossible to recreate. What a gorgeous solo!!
omg!!!! music can't get better than this, Wilson has chosen all amazing musicians, they all know what they are doing, and working in perfect harmony with each other for perfectly woven out of this world music experience... such a such a shame it has only 150k views, I feel small commenting on wilson!! Love from India.
it is complex in such a pleasent way that not even a single piece feels extended beyond necessary and all notes seem to be in a perfect progression and then wilson voice and lyrics simply make you cry!! I'm amazed how this song employs all the instruments with such complex set up playing in such mind blowing harmony together!! EARGASM!!!
This, an absolute masterpiece from one of the (formerly) underrated musicians of our time. Steven Wilson is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of true musical genius I have witnessed as of late; awesome band as well.
Suyash J PT was the best concert I've seen. I'm 66 and started going to concerts in 1967 and have been to a lot of concerts. They are all amazing talented in PT.
That outro, starting at 7:17.. Sounds like something Steven would have picked up from his exposure to Tel Aviv, and his blackfield days.. Dai rei rrai rrai rai rai rai rai rrai . Great heartfelt ending.
I think I've got an explanation for that. This is not music for the masses, ergo, it's hard to contaminate with dumbasses messing around. Instead, this beautiful piece of art demands a considerable degree of maturity and dementia for being authentically appreciated; we are lucky to be here feeding our deep and incomprehensible insanity with quality music. Cheers :)
What a beautiful song, and to think some of the shite out there with Cowell and his cohorts they sell bucket loads of records, just shows you how the market out there is full of idiots and scammers who know fuck all about music, it is all about looking good and computers making your choices. SW is a genius a term used lightly these days.

t starts with one One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time, all I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go
Possibly the prettiest outro I've ever heard, on a song. Just brilliant. Absolutely gorgeous.
This. I've been humming these two melodies the whole day. Beautiful
No argument there
Listening to this is like eating a superfood created in a lab with the best chefs in the world and has the best taste possible.

Maybe a tiny bit snobby. Seems classical music would be accessible to "the masses," who have access to this music, wouldn't they?
3:31 Marco is toying with cymbals
4:24 Funny Marco
7:59 after the fill, Marco has a " did you see what I did " face..
Really funny personality :))
maestro he is absolute maestro! like all the others in Steven's band. he's cutest :D drummer person and my favorite drummer after Gavin
He is getting there, but he misses too many rolls for my liking ...
I agree Joseph Bennett... he gets it done but not as melodic and precise as Gavin...
True. Gavin is on a whole other level. God I miss him playing with Steven and Porcupine Tree.
Marco is outstanding. but he is not Gavin.
Whenever I'm feeling down, I watch Marco's tasty drum fill at 7:59… and then I'm sad no more.
I'm glad people like you exist. I can't seem to find them...
a. h. i adore both comments! :D
;)
I watched it 4 before I read your comment. Tasteful fill indeed, deeply moving song.
Edward Via I know. I saw that fill too...
For me, this is the greatest song in the history of music. Steven you are a God! I'm in tears 😢😭😢
+Tony Burton Of course we do.
I agree, wilson is alien if not god!
what, seriously?
Pull yourself together man!
Calm the fuck down
Dang - Niko's solo just breaks my heart. Every single time.
I know, right? His playing is so tasteful. With SW bringing Guthrie and Kilminster on board after him, Niko hardly gets a mention, but he was so perfect for Steven's music.
Yes, he was. I'm looking forward to his new solo album!
Steven has always had this weird (great) habit of getting hold of amazingly well gifted drummers.
I think, more than getting hold of amazing drummers, his music demands such amazing and wonderful drumming that any drummer that suits his requirements would have to be an amazing and very gifted drummer.
Totally agree!
He has the knack for just about everything .. musical wizard
Before they spontaneously combust...
I hope he gets Danny Carey, Virgil and Mike Portnoy to play for him
This song isn`t from this world. the piano intro alone is a masterpiece. Maybe the greatest song Steven Wilson has ever written.
Amen...he is amazing. I had tickets to see him in Asheville, North Carolina in December 2018 and a freak snow storm kept many away. Saddest day in recent memory...
Steven Wilson, I hope someday I get to meet you in person and thank you for making me a better person.
Are you still a better person or you went back to normal?
Did you meet him yet? How much better are you now?
You should try a zoom meeting. They’re really popular today in 2020.
7:17...what a beautiful, brilliant outro...
Amazing song
Got to love Nick Beggs. Great musician and cool person
Is it just me or is this solo underrated? In the studio version, it sounds exactly like a star transmuting into a black hole, and this version makes me think of the dying gasp of a supernova's brilliant glow
Steven Wilson is King with all the musicians being great but I think Adam Holzman on keyboards and Theo Travis on woodwinds are the 2 most underrated members of this band! *****Just Superb*****
Adam Holzman's piano playing at the beginning is sheer beauty!
Totalmente impecable la carrera del señor Steven Wilson. ¡Larga vida para él! ✨🍷
It would be a dream come true if PT or Steven Wilson performs in India.....
exactly same but in Georgia :D
Vato Natroshvili and denmark xD
and PORTUGAL!
PT has performed in India once.. at Mood Indigo! I wasn't there :( Hope Steven comes to India soon
you must be judged! :D :D
The creativity of Steven Wilson is impressionnant.. her world of music is so large..
His
Steven, you resonate with every inch of my soul.
I dont think I can ever relate to someone as much as I relate to you.
Love you, man.
Oh once in a while
I learn how to smile
Horses shadows and rain on stone
No god here I'm sure
This must be the cure
For all this carrion and aimless drift
Retreat from the begging
And invites to the wedding
Revelation means nothing here
In time we forget our
Need to devour
All the stories of tortured souls
Crawl into your arms
Become the night forever
Coiled and close, the moment froze
Deform to form a star
Here on earth together
I got time to share and a well used stare
This smile isn't pure
Certain or sure
Cold precision was never there
The way we uncoil
Return to the soil
Flaws are everything and chaos reigns

+Vincent Jurg Its alot better than anyrhing from Lightbulb Sun if you ask me.
Dude there is no problem with being nostalgic and it also just happens I doubt the people you are speaking about choose to be nostalgic about PT, although they do probably say PT is better when they really should be saying that they like PT more because it makes them nostalgic. I like PT more partly because of nostalgia and partly because Gavin is the best drummer I've ever heard but Marco is close 2nd and H.C.E. is also right under FoaBP to me.
PT was good but SW solo work is on another level. More complex, more detailed, varied songwriting.
Hahahahah I bet that you changed your mind now after "to the bone" record !! don't you !!
Oh my god that outro... Marco's feel to it is just so beautiful, the melody brings me back to a time I never lived... I always end up in tears after that outro
Let's all take a moment for niko tsonev's guitar solo! He is underrated as one of SW's session guitar players.
He came to NH7 Shillong dude...
I saw him live....moving those fingers...
Sang Routine, Ancestral, Lazarus, Postcard.
He said...NH7 is said to be one of the most happiest fests in India...after that he said...
"THIS TIME IT WONT BE"
Hahaha I saw him at Nh7 Pune.
He said the same thing about Nh7 being called the Happiest Music Festival. Then he said: "I don't make happy music."
Obsessed with Steven Wilson and his work.
Really Obsessed bro....He is one of the smartest players of all time....
the smart music he creates is really exceptional...
And thats why it takes time to reach to his music...we need the smartness to absorb it...
@@Sid2harth I was there too. I thought I was going to die from ecstasy when he played Dark Matter guitar solo.
Toured with him for those 10 days in India. Nothing in this world can top that feeling for me.
That was my first ever concert! Been hooked ever since! In this whirling dervish of a life, that is one of my best memories
Wilson's solo on this kills me everytime. It's just beautiful.
He has such brilliant musicians playing with him, his own skill so often goes unnoticed plus he is always so damn humble. True renaissance musician.
This was one of SW's songs that didn't grab my attention much when it first came out, but it's really grown on me.
Holy shit, that intro blew me away xD
I saw this live and that Niko's solo was breathtaking... :)
How the fuck is Niko Tsonev playing that solo?? Is he pinching the notes constantly? Artificial harmonics? Ebow? Figuring the notes out isn't tough but man, that wailing tone is impossible to recreate. What a gorgeous solo!!
I think this is the most romantic song. I was so sure steven wilson does not convey love but this, if beauty was a song it'd be this song.
Niko Tsonev with an unbelievable solo there. Makes me weak in the knees
omg!!!! music can't get better than this, Wilson has chosen all amazing musicians, they all know what they are doing, and working in perfect harmony with each other for perfectly woven out of this world music experience... such a such a shame it has only 150k views,
I feel small commenting on wilson!!
Love from India.
it is complex in such a pleasent way that not even a single piece feels extended beyond necessary and all notes seem to be in a perfect progression and then wilson voice and lyrics simply make you cry!!
I'm amazed how this song employs all the instruments with such complex set up playing in such mind blowing harmony together!!
EARGASM!!!
any sane description to this masterpiece would merely be an understatement to the amount of soul this song brings out. Gem of a song!
Waaaaah!!
Adam Holzman on keyboards is absolutely amazing.
Love his playing
This, an absolute masterpiece from one of the (formerly) underrated musicians of our time. Steven Wilson is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of true musical genius I have witnessed as of late; awesome band as well.
The most beautiful love song ever written.
Agree❤
i JUST STOP WATCHING THIS ALL MUSICIANS ARE SUPER AMAZING JUST WOW !!! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
This song makes me cry every time! Pure Eargasm!
i wish i can see him live someday
Suyash J
PT was the best concert I've seen. I'm 66 and started going to concerts in 1967 and have been to a lot of concerts. They are all amazing talented in PT.
He's touring again in 2020
This concert is fabulous from start to finish! Bravo!!
I LOVE EVERYTHING STEVEN WILSON
The Magic of a Genius at work "Steven Wilson"...
Beautiful song, gorgeous guitar solo! I could listen to this one over and over.
Thank you for giving us this Steven.
what brilliant melodies!!! its like a wonderful dream come true.........
That outro, starting at 7:17.. Sounds like something Steven would have picked up from his exposure to Tel Aviv, and his blackfield days.. Dai rei rrai rrai rai rai rai rai rrai . Great heartfelt ending.
Appreciate the damn flute player. He made the outro so very intense yet pretty.
Thank you, Mr. Wilson!!!!!!!.........
Another master piece by the master composer accompanying one heck of a band.
Oh my... So much talent on one stage.
Great music, new discovery for me
This is much much more than just "amazing"
This man is a genius and the whole band of musos are brilliant.
Musical genius ! Thanks!
Insanely talented.
Great, now I need new pants!
Steven always has great musicians. I love this song.
Great Song. Sorry to see that it is not on set list for HCE tour this year. Looking forward to 2 shows in LA in June 2015!!!
oo, that was one of the most beautiful pieces, thank you ! ...
Amazing musical combination..really like it!
Masterpiece from a genius with a fantastic band around him saw them twice live out of this world experiences 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hot damn! Just beautiful! All of it...
whos the that genius of a guitarist who made those unreal fills in the end?
+kiba vlood Niko Tsonev
+kiba vlood he played such a beautiful solo
Very under appreciated by Steven Wilson fans
Seen them perfom twice, and I am ready for a third time!
I think I've got an explanation for that.
This is not music for the masses, ergo, it's hard to contaminate with dumbasses messing around. Instead, this beautiful piece of art demands a considerable degree of maturity and dementia for being authentically appreciated; we are lucky to be here feeding our deep and incomprehensible insanity with quality music. Cheers :)
Dementia?
Beautiful!

What a beautiful song, and to think some of the shite out there with Cowell and his cohorts they sell bucket loads of records, just shows you how the market out there is full of idiots and scammers who know fuck all about music, it is all about looking good and computers making your choices.

Just fantastic
Best song ever ❤🙏
LYRICS
Oh once in a while
I learn how to smile
Horses shadows and rain on stone
No God here I’m sure
This must be the cure
For all this carrion and aimless drift
Retreat from the begging
And invites to the wedding
Revelation means nothing here
In time we forget our
Need to devour
All the stories of tortured souls
Crawl into your arms
Become the night forever
Coiled and close, the moment froze
Deform to form a star
Here on earth together
I got time to share and a well used stare
This smile isn’t pure
Certain or sure
Cold precision was never there
The way we uncoil
Return to the soil
Flaws are everything and chaos reigns
Nice polyrhythm at the end
the chills!
Very Nice,..
I hope you have also found Porcupine Tree, my friend!!!
the intro reminds me of Keith Emerson's playing
The world probably failed to understand them, thats why only 184k views till date.
Una Canción Brillante!!
Magical !
shuuu ruuu ruu ruu ru shu ru ruu ruuu shuuu ruuuu!!! shaiiiirairairairairairairaiiraiii!!
poetic
Coup de coeur !
I just fell in love with Adam Holzman.
Awesomeness
hermosa canción romántica
what's the name of this guitar player?? i like him:)
Niko Tsonev.
Gavin Harisson.
idiot
Emocionante
Cool!!!).....
t starts with one
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time, all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
doesn't that guitarist look exactly like Gavin Harrison /
He also reminds me of a young Ian Anderson.
Just another performance easy as this .......,...
🖤
hughes and kettner! triamp!
De Caprio did good job there
Ut the camera on that bass player ffs!
Someone thinks they're Liszt in that intro hehe
who is the drummer on this preformance?
Marco Minnemann
