I keep telling myself that just because many of Steven's compositions are deeply melancholy, he isn't. In his own words, he's not depressed, he just finds sad songs to be often the most beautiful. I have to agree.
You listen to this and want to share it on facebook but then you don't coz they might think you are depressed, which you probably are but you don't want them to know... it's such a poor life.
Actually I like this kind of music and guess what I am not depressed and I actually share this and even suggest other to listen it. Also sometimes I feel like writing my own songs and I have been writing them. Many of my friends say I am quite weird and my music taste is also quite strange than others. But I actually find their words compliment because it's better to be strange than to follow something you don't like just to be social and please others.
Vividly remember walking back across Blackheath towards Greenwich at about half eleven in the evening in early February, having spent all day sorting out my dad's funeral and clearing out his place, absolutely numb with cold, with this song playing in my head. Over 6 years ago now. Cheered me up. Made me cry. Beautiful song; he'd have loved it.
well, the lyrics of PT music overall are passive / aggressive, but that is not unique. His beautiful music is, however. Remember "Remember Me Lover"? There, he hates ppl / his gf, now he seems to wish he wasn't alone.
Conclusion of this song to me starts from 6:38 is the Exact Point of time I just close my eyes and go on my own world.. So pure and relaxing at the same time..
I stumbled on this song while visiting a record store in ATLANTA (5 little points) went crazy when I got to Miami trying to find it ......Awesome song also reminds me a lot of something Maynard from Tool would do anyone else agree ?
+edelutube2010 I saw the show in Toronto the other day. While they played this, I had a vague feeling of familiarity. I finally figured out what it reminded me of - Jeff Buckley's Dream Brother!
Put me in the city ... I don't meet anyone , but I do wander the streets for a while. Then I take the uptown train to Radio City Music Hall in NY to see P.T & S.W ru-vid.com
Un pur chef d'oeuvre, toutes les influences que j'aime: le rock progressif , King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator..... l'élégance anglaise, la prise de son.....
+tarkineWild The new version is fantastic! So well done...so true to the original. Additionally, having Ninet Tayeb sing the chorus actually helped give the song a different perspective. Worth pre-ordering 4.5 , if only for this single (the others are pretty good, for outtakes, too...particularly My Book of Regrets).
+Tom Baddley ahh.. torrents. of course. i also pre-ordered it, just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing out on any prerelease goodies. You're two sentence review has got me pumped.
Couldn't listen to this song for the longest time. Killed me. For some reason, I listened to this song a few times with my ex and it kinda stuck with me. Favorite PT song.
very much same here. except my ex and i never listened to it. It had meaning at the time in relation to certain feelings that ended up causing us to break up. This song very much reminds me of those feelings now, although the reminder is somewhat of a positive one.
@@nikons You didn't answer the question. It was, why is it written "The train" on every lyric video of this song, since Steven Wilson sings "The LAST train"
Can you say inferiority complex? But honestly this is a painfully, deeply expressed song; there are a few people I'd like to call but it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
This tune surpasses magnificent into areas I remember from years past yet it displays a fresh brilliance that has manifested itself in Steven Wilson......jack
Even tho Stupid dream wasn't a great album (Because it was more pop then any other album by them) This song is just amazing and also A Smart kid is great too.
"Four Chords That Made a Million" is arguably way more poppy than anything on the entire Stupid Dream album. I mean, yeah, a lot of the stuff on Stupid Dream is really cool sounding... But cool-sounding doesn't necessarily make something sound "poppy".
Some inspirations (copy) Porcupine Tree vs Pink Floyd 1) Daughters in Excess - A Saucerful of Secrets 2) Don't Hate Me - Set Control For The Heart Of The Sun 3) Arriving Somewhere But Not Here - Careful With That axe Eugene Pompeii 4) Voyage 34 - Another Brick On The Wall
Stefan you sound like a full blown Floyd freak. All of you guys are like that. You can't recognise any talent beyond Roger Waters, if it comes and slaps you!! PT and Steven Wilson are this generations most prolific and accomplished musicians, with enough creative chops and chutzpah to overcome any comparison to the yesteryears 'has-beens'
Early PT is deeply influenced by Pink Floyd. But PF stopped making music long ago. I’m so glad somebody picked up the mantle, and took it in a great direction.
Ninet brings a whole new level to this song. The weakest part of this song would be the vocals and Ninet does an exemplary job. I only wish Steven would record this song one more time with original members and Ninet.
