Steven Wilson - ANYONE BUT ME (Official Audio) 

Lyrics: A ton of love comes down the line A place I’ll never go No one will ever know I kiss the hand I cannot hold I scale the mountain top Just for the photo op And when I see what I have done Laid out on the page It takes my breath away And I don’t mind that it’s not real What difference does it make? You believe it anyway I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now I stole this song from someone else But how is that a crime If it still sounds like mine? The time I could have spent with you Is there for all to see And that’s good enough for me I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now Take the stairway to where you wanna be A show you never saw A dress you never wore Reflecting back at me the kudos and the praise From friends I never met I hope they don’t forget I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now

Music has that magic of uniting souls. Thank you Wilson for being one of those few who does it so well.

Pocos artistas son capaces conectar con lo mas profundo de nuestra alma, Steven Wilson es uno de ellos.

The late-Beatles vibe is just killer. This one pushes all my buttons- you win.

The nostalgic melancholic harmony in this song hits you like an early morning breeze

Steven has a habit of leaving out proper bangers out from main CD. He did it with A Door Marked Summer, and now this.

This is fantastic. Love the ELO-like backing vocals.

Love the "Letter from Spain" repeating lyric in the background and the lovely Jeff Lynne style background vocals. This is an excellent tune and is now my closing song on TFB. LOVE IT!

Love the demo version in the cassette from the deluxe version. This "official" one is on another level

This would have been an amazing closer... thanks for making it available. But I think Count of Unease is kind of perfect where it is... so I'm pleased we now have both.

Thank you Steven

That's beautiful and sad and sums up everything bad about social media and superficiality.

Great track. Very 'Beatley' vibe to it. Which is always a great thing!!!!😃

WOW! I just discovered this after playing the hell out of "THE FUTURE BITES" for a while. Easily one of the best songs from the sessions. I want ALL these B-Sides as a record, NOW!

Rock music is dead. Long live rock music.

Amazing song and sounds. I am amazed this song is not all over the airwaves.

Truly a perfect mix of sad lyrics mixed with a joyfull sounding tune. Then the song hits you with the feelings.

Love it! Both musically and lyrically ❤ It's really a strange and fake world we are living in rn.. It's funny, I just had a conversation about this topic with my best friends a couple of days ago.. And today we get this song 💫 Thank you for putting it into words so brilliantly 👏🙌

Sounds like a sweet beatle song with a special touch. Its indispensable to fans going in this way of style.

The Beatles meet ELO. It’s catchy…I like it.

Beatles vibe. Should have been on the record too sniff

The lyrics: spot on. Great song.

All of the influences come out. Beatles, but also ELO

Love the Beatles/70s feel backgrounds and feel. love the new work,....wait... I love all your work.

I bought everything, and was chagrined to learn that when I opened it all, it was diminished in value. Seriously, how did I miss this?? Thank you, Steven. Been with you for decades, and hope to be with you for many, many more.

Im loving this song so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ A little bit of Beatles & ELO and the unique SW's sound. Loved the lyrics. This song Its beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

A ton of love comes down the line A place I'll never go No one will ever know I kiss the hand I cannot hold I scale the mountain top Just for the photo op And when I see what I have done Laid out on the page It takes my breath away I don't mind that it's not real What difference does it make? You believe it anyway I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now Ooh-ooh-ooh I stole this song from someone else (from someone else) But how is that a crime If it still sounds like mine? The time I could have spent with you (spent time with you) Is there for all to see And that's good enough for me Oh, yeah I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now Take the stairway to where you wanna be, yeah A show you never saw A dress you never wore Reflecting back at me the kudos and the praise From friends I've never met Hope they don't forget I wanna be anyone but me now I wanna be anywhere but here now Wanna believe anything I choose now I wanna have anything I want now

When we all expected TFB has no more songs. Mr Wilson surprises us again with this gorgeous song 🤘🤘

On Repeat 🔂

This should've been on the normal CD release.

Definitely prefer this over the demo version, this should've definitely made it on the album along with Ha Bloody Ha and In Pieces.

It needn't have been the last track on the album but it should have been on there because it's one of Steven Wilson's best songs of the past five years. A missed opportunity because, although it doesn't fit the electronic vibe of the album, it's way better than any of the tracks on TFB.

This song is so great - and I maintain that Steven's personal and emotional lyrics are infinitely superior to his social commentary-type lyrics

Fantastic!! Very ELO-ish. It’s a yes from me. 👍

The lyrics hit home and the vibe is very ELO, I approve of both these things.

This entire album is AMAZING !! I wish Steve could've toured with it, I could imagine the stage looking like a big TFB store with all kinds of crazy things happening.

Las 3 a.m en Colombia y me encuentro con esta joya. Grande Steven Wilson. Pd: ojalá algún día vuelva Porcupine Tree.

It's a beautiful song.

Just a thought. Steven might be able to create a potential winner at Eurovision for UK. Come on

Your voice has matured so much throughout your career. Truly remarkable.

WOW. I love it too Steven.

Spandau Ballet ‘Through the barricades’ riff in the verse. Absolutely beautiful production and feel on this song. Hearing ELO/XTC/Kinks/Beatles. .

Why thumbs down? 'Cos it's not Porcupine Tree? This is a beautiful song. If you don't like it, buy a new soul (at TFB)!

Jeff Lynne called, he wants his arrangement back. (This is a very high compliment in my book!)

Nice! Thank you very much for this! "Privet" from Moscow.

I am the right person for the job and this is why.

thanks for another gift

How can you not put this on a record?

What a beauty!!

What a wonderful song

So beautiful ❤

Is it bad that I prefer the demo version? :D I’m so glad this ended up being released, it might be my favourite track from all of the TFB recordings. Fantastic job as always!

What a early awakening at 5 a.m. good surprise. But yeah.... Count of Unease is quite better a closing track, but I love this

Oh wow, this just wow.

The greatest music never heard of

Great song. Thanks Steven 🙏😊

I thought this song and the picture of the TFB shop after it has been smashed up by the mob and shut down was a reaction to some of the album reviews - I am glad to read that is not the case, I love the album. Of course the picture still needs explanation...

This is awesome

Merci Steven d' éveiller mes sens et ma conscience avec tes chansons.

The ELO Parsons Project. I dig it. It’s a shame this wasn’t on the bonus disc

The scientist of music returns. 😍 What a beautiful track ❤️

Nice! Beautiful! Love it!

Love it! This track would be my favourite on the album. and steven is a better bass player than I thought.

What a nice surprise.

i know i just heard this for the first time, but i swear i heard this song 50 years ago. I'm 32.

Some of his best vocals ever!

Literally he is the thanos of music

The keyboard melody from the demo hitting at the second chorus was so GOOD

Amazing Song.

This is sheer beauty!!

Love it!

This should have been on the album. It`s a belter.

Another great song thanks for the music.

Such a beautiful song.

Again and again again great, amazing and insurmountable Steven ...

Lord wilson ❤

Please release this as a 12” vinyl single!

Pure audio joy.

Thank You S.W. Hope to listen it in tour.

Awesome!

Sounds like something from Lightbulb Sun era. Well done.

Absolutely amazing!

This is incredible, that ending was extra special too!

Explain how does this not have a billion views?!

Jesus, to have the balls to remove this from your album... Great song! Love it!

excellent song, very ELOish.

Great song Mr Wilson :)

Blackfield vibe, Getting back to his original form.

Really nice, loving this...

Great song. I still prefer the demo version, though. Can we please have both on a CD release?

Slightly great.

A bit retro. Very nice!

Should have been on the album for sure, I really liked the demo version too - more than most of the tracks on the album.

Thank u mr Wilson,🤘🏼🇧🇴

Just wow 💫🦄

Great song! It should have been on the record.

Fan of Paul Draper here former singer of the band Mansun and just getting into Steve Wilson stuff because of their latest single collaboration between him and Draper a brilliant song called "Omega Man." I'm liking this song already, sounds very like Paul McArtney. He must be very influenced by the Beatles?

Modern day Beatles. But listanable.

Another classic SW track

Wish it had been able to stay, its a lovely track :-) :-(
