+Thomas Quelin I agree man, such an impressive performance from so many sick musicians.

the "I hope I die before I get sold" segment is one of the most beaultiful tune Ive ever heard

Flash delirium its just beautiful as well

[@wyrmking]

that's why this is my favourite song of all times

[@rachelmmurray]

yes, especially how he sings it here. Feels very lost, in a way.

[@lucbral30]

@@rachelmmurray yeah, it feels lost and juvenile. and it still sounds fresh in my ears, even after all those years listening to it...

SUCH BRILLIANT LYRICS IN THIS ENTIRE SONG @@SkyBlue222222

[@mazorki8917]

Andrew is such a good songwriter.

[@TheMrsmartass13]

"And you can sit beside me, and tell me what it's worth" is such a powerful line to me, from how I see it he is dealing with a situation he doesn't like, and someone apart of it or maybe the cause of it is trying to explain why, but as he says wide open arms can feel so cold.

[@jasonhernandez8146]

The longest song I’ve ever heard and I still don’t get bored having it on repeat

[@Blanaxhe]

I gotta reccomended Pink Floyd man these guys are like a modern version of them

[@mattheb01]

@@Blanaxhe Echoes over twenty minutes of pure masterpiece

[@dirtfromabyssaldark]

metanoia is longer

[@psychedelicpiper999]

@@BlanaxheThey’re more like a modern version of the Syd Barrett era. But the London version of “Interstellar Overdrive” is 16 minutes long, so that works.

"The low tide is telling me that it's over".. My favourite part

[@kiara1813]

Yeah The low tide is telling me, when it's over, To breathe in everything exposed And comes back to cover me with a blanket Being here's always changing tunes… The way how he is singing it and how is moving can be a lullaby… so sweet …

[@itstoogooditswaytoogood3211]

my favorite is that whole opening sequence

[@wpc456cpw]

Me too. That part gives me goosebumps

[@Mariothehedgehog321]

This is my favorite version of Siberian Breaks. It is so beautiful. I can't even describe the last segment in the song. It's just perfect.

[@jackwagner5922]

Sleep as the goer The bridge that watches the light speed through And cries while the spirit stumbles The inside missile for the protection of you Maybe it's silent The voice can't bear anymore strain But speaks without even knowing And streams outside in the direction of truth There's no reason there's no secrets to decode If you can't save it, leave it dying on the road Wide open arms can feel so cold So cold Feel so cold Balance the books, the ledges, the loons The disappointed look on the faces That squint at the moon Let's see it with shadows enhanced And then vote to decide who'll advance Silver jet plane, making a turn Exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn It's not the life lesson I'd've guessed If you're conscious you must be depressed Or at least cynical But someone might still eat the steaks Even if they're tough Spending the day Chewing the fat Floating away isn't rough but it's not enough Oh Marianne, pass me the joint The sandpaper's tan Go-getters are surfing the point And London's a scratch on the lens It's over before it begins Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders The older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick But really there's no trip at all That doesn't result in a fall Or a faltering But something could spit out the bait Even if it's real Rolling away Missing a spoke Close to the ground like a wheel but it's not a joke Holding the line Clutching the phone Nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right It's not right Smelling for blood Praying for rain Running away isn't rough, but it's not enough The low tide is telling me, when it's over, To breathe in everything exposed And comes back to cover me with a blanket Being here's always changing tunes The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all Wide open arms can feel so cold And you can sit beside me and tell me what it's Worth But I hope I die before I get sold I hope I die before I get sold I'd rather die before I get sold If you find the soul that you lost Frozen in a starry void Take it within and hope the sight of blood Can will signs of life to return Back to the way that it was Long before it made a noise To keep on quietly reminding you What's never created or destroyed Wake as the swell peaks The close-outs drowning the birds with roars And howls scare the new unkindness That picks and laughs at the carrion scene Forces you see breath can always go into hiding And wait 'til it passes over Or stay far gone for all eternity
