It's not merely a song. It is an emotional experience. It is a magic carpet ride to the sun and back. It is a mystical, ethereal out of body moment. Brilliant.
Damn I wanna come up with something like that. U took the feeling and put it in words. Well done. We almost don't deserve it. And the people who don't know this treasure of music are the ones that really don't deserve it. For them the current trash out there is better than fine for them.
If he considers himself a limited musician, I can accept that. However, his song writing and live performance arrangements are magical. Thank god I found his music
Steven is the master of modesty. I am 70 years old and have followed and seen in concert too many bands to list. Steven can hold his own with any musician. His creativity is what is astounding. He goes places no one else has even dreamed of going.
The guitar riff at the start and from 10:30 to 11:25 is my favorite part of the entire Hand.Cannot.Erase album. To me, there is a sense of hope and adventure in that minute of music, where a lot of Steven Wilson music is more melancholy. I love all of his work, but this was a unique part of the album for me and definitely the part I am looking forward to seeing the most in 2 weeks.
Same here! When this song first came out i used to get stuck again and again in this little magical moment created, and self-declared this as the most epic piece of music ever created.
I was at the Salt Lake City show 11/11/16. Once in a lifetime experience for me as I've been a SW/PT fan for quite a few years now. I was like a star struck little girl at this show. Absolutely incredible and to fortunate to stand on the front row made it that much more rewarding.
RIP Joyce Vincent, which this album was written about. Joyce Vincent was a beautiful young (38) English woman whose death went unnoticed for more than two years as her corpse lay undiscovered at her bedsit in north London. How does someone with friends and 4 sisters go missing and no one notices for over 2 years? It is a bizarre and fascinating story, and that is what many of the themes of this album are about. That we can be so disconnected from each other in this day and age is a tragedy.
Me da la impresion que Wilson es mas popular en paises de habla hispana que aqui en EUA por que leo en este blog. Lo voy a ir a ver manana, que pija de musica hace este maestro, es un genio y menos preciado aqui pero algunos amigos latinos tienen buen gusto como uds. Trsitemente aqui la shumada latina solo les gusta esa mierda de musicota ranchera y lo que llaman "grupera o banda" que me da escalofrios. Por eso busco refugio en esta hermosa musica! Steven es el proximo PROG GOD!
Saw Steven Wilson and Band; Melbourne, 28 10 2016 - blew my head off. Experienced a lifetime of the essence of most important Music from last 50 years - Overwhelmingly Superb Soundscapes justified by Steven's vivid good taste.
i agree Steve, Gavin is one of the best drummer i've ever seen and heard live and me too i miss PT like Snowy Ambar. Any chance to see them back again ?
I was a die hard prog fan I heard that Steven Wilson and porcupine tree had some good music. When he released the tickets for a live show in Stockholm I bought them immediately and then the next 6-8 months I dived deep into his catalogue. I was so amazed and then when the day came for seeing him live I had tickets for the fourth row. An amazing show gotta say and I’m so happy that I bought them so early without knowing what I got myself into
I've only recently come around to the magic that is Steven Wilson's music; Porcupine Tree was never quite satisfying for me, but his 'solo' stuff - and particularly Hand Cannot Erase - is just so incredible. Full of emotion, and he seamlessly covers so much ground musically while being rooted in prog rock (my favorite). Not to mention his backing band kicks ass. Thank you so much for posting this concert; I'm so sad that I had to miss him when here was here (Atlanta, GA) this past December. I'll be making sure to see him when he does come back again.
@@agtbruinsman7190 LOL, I have in the time since I wrote that actually become a big PT fan and I am beyond psyched for C/C and to see them on tour (hopefully) in 2022 - my daughter has come to love SW and PT as well, she’s going to go with me!
I can't get enough of this song. I can listen to it a hundred times and still never get bored of it. Steven Wilson is a badass composer with his awesome music arrangements. I saw him in San Francisco, he put on an amazing concert.
OK, if no one else will.... I'm gonne praise Nick Beggs. OMG what a boss on the bass (and chapstick depending on the track). But as always... bass lines and bass players are so underrated and underappreciated, unfortunately.
Absolutely. He's really taken to the Chapman Stick. To the point of developing it! Lovely fella, too. I feel quite privileged to have been having some cool chats on twiXXer.
This live performance is incredible perfection. I’ve just gotten into this album and this work of art song in particular stands out like Drive Home on The Raven album.
saw this performance twice in SF Ca. would love to have had another go..prob one of the best musical experiences I ever had ..and I've had a lot ...a very lot!! if I had to choose it would be this ...
Silke D. I still ❤️ this so much and these were my favorite band members for HCE. I saw it with GGoven and MMinnemann but Dave Kilminster and Craig Blundell were just perfect!
I cannot recommend seeing Steven in concert strongly enough. I caught this tour twice and was blown out of my seat both times. Sadly he is not coming to a city close enough to me for me to catch the To The Bone tour, but I would see it if I could!
Puff, de verdad, muchísimas gracias por darte el trabajo de poner estos vídeos!! El concierto fué eliminado de youtube y me moría de pena por no poder verlo mil veces más! Gracias!
+MasSola Quelaluna De nada! Vi que no estaba más en youtube y quería poder pasar el link a otros asi que lo corté y lo subí. Agradezcámosle a Steven que no lo eliminó de mi cuenta :)
You cross the schoolyard with your head held down And walk the streets under the breaking cloud With a 100 futures cascading out It's complicated You think of love as just a memory A fog that smothers you, its hard to breathe But when you're on your own that's when you're free You're three years older And you'll always be now I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show There was a time when someone seemed to care A tourist in your bed you left him there You found a simple life with no-one to share It's not complicated You make a list of all your big regrets You share with people that you never met You slowly move towards the medicine chest You're three years older And you'll always be now I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show You only have to say And the world will slip away From you Shame on you for getting older every day This place is not for you so why do you still stay? You stand there with the other fuckers in the rain Life is not some sinecure for you to pay You have to pay I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show You only have to say And the world will slip away From you
Should have told that to the young lady this Album is dedicated to.. majic carpet ride to Death before 30. in Brent x shopping centre Flats/apartments anothher part of dystopian London .Not some Hipster`s Paradice
30 years from now, will people still listen to this and think wow, this is as good or better than anything Rush, Zeppelin or Pink Floyd ever did? Corporate controlled radio is stifling music.
I so much want him to break mainstream. A few weeks ago I heard a band on the "van" radio. Both my colleagues were discussing our work tasks for that day and I heard this great sound. Phone Shazam said "Koyo". Considering I'm 54, and a lover of psychedelic music, especially Motorpsycho, this took me completely by surprise. I can't remember the last time anything on radio( any British statio )got my attention. Don't remember which station but the brilliant Frank Skinner was the dj. Anyway, saw them recently at Sebright Arms, London. Gorgeous band and great venue. Still wondering though........why is Steven Wilson not getting that sort of airplay. You can try and feck me off with all excuses such as melancholia blah blah...It's always about money, they can dress it in any guise. Mainstream media is not representative of good music.
