Steven Wilson lives near me..i’ve met him and he signed a couple of my copies of his albums..he’s a great talent and a lovely guy 👍

[@KatjaTgirl]

So this just happened.... This song has made it into the Dutch Top2000 songs of all time as voted by music enthusiasts! Coming in at number 1478. Not Lazarus, not Trains, not Blackest Eyes but this one. Congratulations Steven Wilson!

Porcupine Tree's In Absentia album is in large part a reason that I am still alive to write this. I was in the process of being fired from my ideal job as an act of revenge, seriously considering making my family's life easier by taking my pain out of their existence. PT kept me from that, ironically with "Heart Attack In a Lay by". Thank you, Steven.

Porcupine made me believe in music again. Gavin Harrison is actually everything people claim Portnoy is and isn't. Just a remarkable, unique player who deserves all is the credit he is not given.

My only disappointment with the reformation of the Tree is Colin Edwin's absence..

[@hyl14nn1gh7]

Seeing Porcupine Tree live was one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.

[@chrisbenson4985]

This song is specified in my will as the track that will be played when my ashes are scattered, along with 'What happens now?' It was great to meet the band on this tour in Seattle before my illness left me bedridden. I am grateful for humans like PT fans.

The Sky Moves Sideways, Signify..listen to these albums my friend...

[@sebulban]

This one is on top5 on all songs ever made

[@climber4434]

not Chicago, this was in the Netherlands. and maybe you would hear more if you wouldn't talk over the best parts

[@boxonothing4087]

One of PT's most striking features is how Richard Barbieri handles his keyboard parts.

[@GregB-uc1ky]

I absolutely love ❤❤ this band. And this is my fave song by them. Absolutely kick ass! Thx Doug.

[@wayne7048]

The best band in the world at that time and with that line up.

[@johnyarusso4953]

Back in the 70s I got to see Yes, Zep, Floyd, KC ect..But seeing Porcupine Tree last year at Radio City Music Hall was one of the greatest concerts I've ever experienced.

[@velinarsh]

Almost front row at their Closure/Continuation concert and a concert I'll hold with me rest of my life. Absolutely amazing musicians and song writers.

This is my favourite song of all time, I can’t describe the roller coaster of emotions I go through every single time

[@aka.Mr.French]

fond memory: seeing PT at Radio City Music Hall in Sept. 2010 -- their next-to-last live show before their 13-year hiatus began -- and this was the final song. Due to the venue's rules, they HAD to wrap the show by 11pm -- so they ended the show proper around

[@rumbalala]

I adore this song. Album version is so immersive. Stunning band.

[@Cyrax89721]

I was at this show! We're coming up on 20 years since it happened now so I don't remember many specifics, but the show was absolutely magical, and I'm glad to have a video record of it.
