The best time to listen to this song is in a pitch black room looking up at the ceiling. At the end I get so scared and paranoid, it's a great feeling. Ya'll should try it.
You can capture that feeling more intensely while walking down backstreets at a very late hour. You almost feel like "I'm ok with being murdered right now."
So the Cirkus thing doesn't bug me because it only shows up once, but that piano melody is straight up Atomic Rooster's "Death Walks Behind You" and he's riding that for like 3 minutes
A modern prog masterpiece. SW and band are on fire! This song is so dark and truly gives me chills down my spine as story of Dennis Rader is horrifying to the core. Everything SW touches turns into gold. He's just got that touch of the Midas.
Lst night, when performed in Buenos Aires, this song gave me the creep, just MIND-BLOWING, SW is a genious...From Luminol, first song in the set, until Radioactive Toy as encore, all I can say is THANK YOU STEVE, You´re the finest alien on earth
Hello folks! If anyone feels exceptionally passionate about this part 14:35 to 16:40 or has any other odd feeling towards it, please reply here, and be as explicit as you want. I'm all eager to read your thoughts.
The first time I remember hearing that part, I was asleep and having terrifying dreams. I woke up in a cold sweat and it made me feel like I was being watched or chased waking up to this. It has such a scary, haunting feel to it that I haven't escaped yet.
i think i know exactly what you mean but words distort the real feeling i would say dreamy surreal like a soft smooth hand carressing you on the face and forehead pushing you under water at the same time . i think this is the "grace for drowning" letting ur self go confidently unto fear
haha killer album right, definitely one of the most underrated musicians right now. Dig the dsotm too, he's in my opinion one of the best songwriters since the greats like Floyd and the Beatles.
I thought exactly the same "DELIVERANCE" and King Crimson's Level five at 8:03 ... remember the first time i heard the song something happened inside my head i don't know what but it's still here ...
Same here in Boston a day or 2 later. 2nd row. Best show I have ever seen! I think Guthrie was guitar for that tour. I have seen sreven him 4 times over the years and this tour was the best. I think Marco was on drums. I felt lucky to see that show.
I like Steven and he's a good musician. His big problems is that he listened to much music in his life and this is the main reason his work often reminds something that still exist. He isn't a genius, he is only a good author.
