I DON'T KNOW HOW STEVEN WILSON DOES IT! "Drive Home" 

This song always makes me cry, I cant imagine anything happening to my partner or anyone I know makes me really sad to think about but I love Steven's music. Please listen to literally anything Porcupine tree! some of my fav: Trains, Dark matter, ligthbulb sun, anesthetize , arriving somewhere , Lazarus , drown with me and literally anything else people reccomend

1984 I lost my Dad to cancer, I was 10 years old. There's a lot of music that triggers good memories of him. That's the power of music, it also helps the burden of grief too. Much love buddy.

Dear Lord. That was painful. Beautiful, but painful.

This song has one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded by the incredible Guthrie Govan.

I'm so emotional today and this song hits so fucking hard I'm sobbing again here, but I watched your reaction anyways bc I was waiting for you to see it. Steve's a deep soul and his music translates that, indeed.

Also from SW „Deform to form a star“ …

Another emotionally complex and beautiful song and video by Steven Wilson. His songs hit so deep on so many levels.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Its so perfectly full of emotions😢

This one is personal.. and the hardest to see. A situation very similar to this.. happened irl to people I knew. I happened upon it just moments after.. I had to comfort a man who just lost his wife, his kids distraght in the ditch.. I needed words to say, push away the shock, and help them. I've known all of them for years, dear friends of mine. The scene replays over and over.. The words of this song play over and over.. each line, something I either told him, or him to me later.. over time. We're not the same, but we go on. Great reaction SW & PT are ❤ to me. ❤ and ✌️everyone.

I think you're ready for the other side of Steven Wilson. Try The Watch maker live in Frankfurt or Luminol live in Mexico City. Thanks for the reaction and I cried again. I always do. This one and The Raven that Refused to sing do not fail to make me cry every time ❤

Another in a huge catalogue of great songs by Steven Wilson and your empathetic reactions to his songs have been great so thank you. Maybe time to see him and his great band live. I suggest, ‘Refuge’, ‘Detonation’, or ‘Ancestral’ from his concert at the Royal Albert Hall London.Also consider checking out his band Porcupine Tree who are just phenominal. ‘Trains’ or ‘Time Flies’ or the epics ‘Arriving somewhere but not here’ or ‘Anesthetise’. I’m sure that you will really like them and great music is both emotional and cathartic.

Man, I feel your emotions here. This song and video hit home as this is my biggest fear that I struggle with - losing my partner and being left to carry on without him. I know many people that have gone through this but most never recover. I don't know what I'd do.

❤

that was brutal. honestly. wow. my twin sister died next to me in a car crash, we were trapped inside the wreck for half an hour and all i could do and reach was her hand, full with blood, and feel how life was running out of her. when the rescuers arrived, the car started to burn and they got us out of the wreck in the last second, still too late for her. damn, steven wilson, don't do that to me. thank you for introducing him to me, his songs and music videos are so painful to listen and watch, i just need a moment to breathe now. from what i've seen so far by him.. his art is on point with everything. the song, his voice, the excellent music videos. he translates this that at some times cannot be said. and it's good. sad and good.

Steven Wilson is a Musical Genius of Over Few Decades Now! It Started with Porcupine Tree and Now with his Creative Solo Music and Here Are Some of My Personal Favorites From His Solo Albums: 2 Songs From Each of Steven Wilson Solo Albums That U Can Find Here on RU-vid and Please Go with Live Versions When U Can Find Them: 2009 'Insurgentes' Album: Harmony Korine & Significant Other, 2011 'Grace For Drowing' Album: Deform To Form a Star & Remainder The Black Dog, 2013 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' Album: Luminol & The Watchmaker, 2015 'Hand.Cannot.Erase.' Album: 'Home Invasion / Regret #9' & 'Happy Returns', 2016 '4 1/2' Album: My Book of Regrets' & Vermillioncore', 2017 'To The Bone' Album: Pariah & Detonation, 2021 'The Future Bites' Album: 'King Ghost' & 'Man of The People', 2023 'The Harmony Codex' Album: 'Impossible Tightrope' & 'Staircase'

I would recommend reacting to a song called 'the old peace' which is a collab between Wilson and Mariuz Duda. The lyrics were taken from a poem by Alec Wildey who was a fan of Wilson band (Porcupine Tree) and Duda band (Riverside). When he died Wilson and Duda did this collab to honour him as he was known to both bands. A beautiful song.

Hi Tommy... damn, the guys are giving you the really emotional songs aren't they... But listening to this and experiencing it is so cathartic. A particular kind of British melancholy as he says himself but it is just as aplicable all the way round the world... Keep in Rocking.

Great reaction to Drive Home. FyI, I've lost count of how many times I've cried during multiple sections of Steven Wilson's 'Hand.Cannot.Erase' Album, which hopefully you'll get to more of. Some of those moments are solely because of the beauty of the music rather than the lyrical story, and I cherish composers that can do that to me. Nightwish's Tuomas can do that, and he and Steven are in the same league, in my book. Thanks for another wonderful few moments with you.

All the songs on "Raven That Refused to Sing" album are about themes of death and endings, I think, fantastic progressive music with such sad themes. I also just realized that the same director and animation studio made the video for Opeth's "Universal Truth", one of my favorite songs off their most recent album. Did you ever see that one? It's another sad video, though the song actually ends hopefully, imo.

You should check out the music from SW's first album, Insurgentes. It's a fantastic album that's definitely on the experimental side of his catalogue. "Harmony Korine" is an absolute banger as well as "No Twilight Within The Courts of the Sun"

Another great reaction Tommy, his music just gets inside you, like some others have said, you should maybe try out some of his other solo stuff, watchmaker (live) or Ancestral (live) are both a great watch, he is just a genius, stay strong brother 🤘

Thats 3 heavy hits in a row Wolff. As some others have suggested - might be time for you to see some other aspects of the genius that is Steven Wilson. Perhaps try from his latest solo album The Harmony Codex, the official video of his track What Life Brings for a song that appears to be heading in a similar direction but ends with such beautiful hope. Or if you want to be completely mind-blown, find the live recording from his 2018 Home Invasion DVD of his track Ancestral. Take in the lyrical message but then be completely mind-blown by the musicianship for the rest of this epic track! Keep the Steven Wilson coming!

So sad. But its really, really good for you! I hope.... PS Steven Wilson also does happy songs... pls try: "Steven Wilson - Permanating (Official Video)" - fun, full of dance and colour! Or if Metal is your taste, try: Steven Wilson's band: "Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here ". Or "Trains" as a mix of really good prog + metal. Or full-on quality prog (like Pink Floyd) "The Sky Moves Sideways". But most is like "Open Car" - quality modern stuff. Steven Wilson makes brilliant music! :)

hes band porcupine tree also has some good tunes Lazarus beeing the best in my opinon

Porcupine Tree needs to be checked out at this point. "Way Out of Here" , and "Anesthetize" are good places to start. Also the band Riverside. They are very cathartic. I'm going to suggest something from their newest album "The Place Where I Belong" and one from an older "Left Out" ....they don't have a bad album. Not one.

Other great Steven Wilson songs: Watch Maker, Holy Drinker, Luminal and many more. Try all these LIVE. He's got a DVD with these on youtube called "Get all you deserve" -- live from Mexico city. You will be blown away by his live performances.

Yeah, porcupine tree is a good band I got into because of opeth. That guy has a certain kind of voice

Please try Anathema : One Last Goodbye You can thank me later 😊

Hi, could you please react to Kvist- Forbannet vaere lorden leg gar pa? I would appreciate it alot

This was good but not something I would ever listen to. The message is good, but the music and some recording choices were not for me. I thought the video was cool, though.

So good man, this one hit me in the gut as well. I've been a Porcupine Tree fan for a while but I only recently started listening to more of Steven Wilson's non PT stuff mainly due to your reactions. Really great stuff! 💔❤‍🔥❤‍🩹

This song, and the video, always felt metaphorical to me. That you want to detach yourself from your grief, but it still might paralyze you for years, and it isn't until you face that grief honestly, and learn to deal with it, that you can heal. Maybe I am projecting, because I have gone through those steps (not literally, of course) after the loss of my best friend.
