II'm 60 years old. I've been through the 60's-70's and all !! My favorite group is Pink Floyd!! But I've been listening to PT for the past 6 year's and I haven't looked back since. Every day I listen to them ..doesn't matter what song ... even though I have my favorites , love the way they put everything together!! Harmony's and all. Drummer KICKS ASS!! they all do really!! Thanks for downloading on YT for us all to hear!!!!!!

We must have been cut from the same cloth ... I do go back to PF now and then and enjoy David Gilmours recent projects. m2

[@michguzman]

Big Floyd fan here, I started listening to them when I was 15, A Momentary Lapse of Reason had just come out and later on I saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS and I was amazed by all the lasers, sound and outstanding effects, Gilmour's voice and guitar playing. In the late 90s a friend of mine said to me "listen to the new Pink Floyd" and he lent me The Sky Moves Sideways, I was hooked, I felt the same emotion and eagerness for more as when I was 15.

[@aaronb.2177]

Michell Guzman ... same here. Momentary Lapse of Reason got me hooked on Pink Floyd. Huge PF fan!! Never had a chance to see PF in concert, which I will regret to my dying day. Have seen Roger twice, and David at the Hollywood Bowl. I LOVE PT so much! Awesome, awesome band!!

[@lincolnsixecho51]

Now I' m 65 years old, sitting in a private chair, but my head, hands and arms are okay and i have played guitar all the time of my life. - Now i have to go into a retirement home, but I AM NOT AFRAID: Because yesterday i bought a PRS guitar, a "black cat" amp, some effect pedals and a drum machine ( because i don' t think they have a prog rock band there!) - and i keep all my P.T. music and tutorial videos! - So my life-end-resort can come - I'M PERCECTLY PREPARED!!😃🎸

[@magusmaximmus2172]

John Wesley, although he was only a touring member contributed so much to PT’s shows. His guitar playing and his backing vocals have so much depth to Steven’s songs. I hope Mr Wesley is having a continued successful career as a musician. Oh, and a fantastic song from a phenomenal album.

The golden age of porcupine tree

[@skibbzzabob4371]

I’ve been a fan for a solid week now(LOL) and can’t get enough of them. I’ve literally listened to them no less than 8 hours a day since last Friday. Pink Floyd has been my number 1 band for 40+ years and I truly believe PT has replaced them. Still struggling to accept they have been around so long and I’ve never heard of them.

[@garymathernejr2479]

Great Jammage, saw them in Texas couple months back, awesome experience

[@xomkong]

Sooner or later you come in contact with PT Music if you like PF. How can a band be so awesome, seriously ;-)

[@MrThebigcheese75]

About three months now thanks to a new friend, my wife says I'm obsessed. I just love great music. How have they passed me by for do long.

[@tlm8436]

I feel the same, having discovered them a month ago and already know most of the words to so many of the songs and they are plugged into my headphones every night when I get home from work and I listen to them all day at work and they are plugged into my head all weekend too. It's soooo nice to have something new, but it's not new and so where have I been? I thank the universe for Steven Wilson every day now.

When they were at their best, well never see them like this again. Was there at the show

[@DJB123]

+Kerry Gardner How privileged were you to have witnessed this masterpiece! Was that the Tilburg show? If there were an afterlife, this is the music that would be played there.

[@h4r4]

+David Burton this is from the chicago show

[@robpoindexter]

+David Burton There is an afterlife, it is simply a matter of choosing where one will spend it. Jesus Christ died so you can have eternal life with him. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, whoever would believe on him, would not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 the purpose of this life is simple, it is to choose where one will spend his eternity. The cost of eternal life is free however it is not cheap, It Was Written in Blood on a wooden cross 2000 years ago. He would have died and sacrificed himself even if it was only you. Know this my friend. he loves you and is patiently waiting for you to come to him. However he is a gentleman and will not force you, it is a free choice, yours to make. Choose Life!!

[@DJB123]

Rob, I wonder which afterlife you mean. It could be the Christian version as you've quoted, but it could also be Jewish or Islamic among the Abrahamic faiths where your actions in life are judged as good or bad by whichever god presides. Then again it could be Norse afterlife in Valhalla ruled by the god Odin, where your past glories in battle are celebrated. Or it might be the Hindu afterlife where the soul is recycled to a different body in a new life which is governed by Lord Krishna. Perhaps you could consider the Wiccan afterlife in The Summerland where the soul rests and learns from its experiences. All these ideas of afterlife are variations on one theme, and one is no more valid than any other to someone looking at them objectively. The point in general is that you or I don't actually know, but we have our opinion formed by our life experiences. My point specifically was that this song would be a wonderful soundtrack to any afterlife in which you have belief.

Those were my thoughts exactly pacrat90 about 9 years ago. I just turned 56 in March and have followed music closely since the late 60's. P.T. in my mind are one of the best, most original bands I've ever heard. Props to Steve Wilson for his musical genious and for putting together a group of extremely talented musicians.

Simply the most ethereal, and soul stabbing song ever.

Steven Wilson has written a lot of great songs, but this is his best one, without question.

Amazing song from a band who have the incredibly rare ability to sound even better live than on the studio versions. Im gutted i discovered this band so late, It has opened me up to Steven's amazing solo stuff and recently Pineapple Thief who have embraced Gavin's incredible drumming and sound amazing for it.

[@youfools]

Before we totally destroy this world how about a handful of Porcupine Tree \ Tool shows? Together, of course. Nothing having to do with new music (unless of course something IS released (Tool in 2014)). Just a few hours from each band with enough time between sets for the audience to recover from the last and prepare for the next. I'm going on 56 and have seen 'em both. I noticed on each occasion how the audience becomes one with the performers. I kinda like that.

Porcupine tree has been my favourite band since past 12 years now. There have been multiple phases in these 12 years when i binge listen PT to a point of complete boredom, then i decide to take a break from PT for a while. And after few months i start to get withdrawal of the feeling that i used to get while hearing them. And when i listen to them again it still hits the same spot it had hit when i first listened to them.

[@HonoraryGreek]

Often wondered why Steven changed the words slightly when playing this live. On the record it's "You're a martyr for even less." Here, and when I saw them live, he sings: "I'm a martyr, to even less."

[@andrewtrj1]

Same!

[@MarceloKatayama]

I think he's getting confused on the verses. If you listen to the 'recordings' album, you'll find that Even less had a few extra verses. On the regular verses, it's "you're a martyr for even less". However, on the extra ones it's "I am a martyr to even less". So, I think he's mixing them up.
