Porcupine Tree - Godfearing (Rare Track)

Rare track from the In Absentia / Deadwing era.

[@No_Avail]

Baffled to discover Steven forgot about this and randomly discovered it 10 years later. The more times I hear it, the more I'm tempted to include it into my own HoF Porcupine Tree tracks, or just my top 10. The mixing/production is perfect too, just the right blend.

[@stevechesney2498]

Why are their so many great songs from PT that aren’t on the albums

[@Anesthetize99.]

Exactly. Those songs are so good

[@loud7070]

Very early PT sounding tune from the middle era of that great band. I truly hope we all hear and see them again.

[@BillyCrawshrimp]

I hope so too.....

[@bernlin2000]

Good news

[@Tarble9000]

Wish granted

[@michaeltarasov4426]

New album is shit(((

[@bugpack6]

A new discovery from SW on his sound cloud. Just when I went there to hear the new Hand Can not erase track... Great day.

[@schpleeb]

1:47 - 2:16 whatever it is that's going on in the background makes that riff *so* much more badass

[@jonnykhatru]

schpleeb that's the magic of R Barbieri

[@jobvanderdoelen6512]

barbieri is fcking crazy

[@carloscarranza5987]

Barbieri's keys sound like a mellotron

[@martinmohyla]

I'm pretty sure there's no Barbieri on this track as it is clearly a SW-only demo.

[@toprak3479]

@@martinmohyla I think so too. The drums are clearly played by a drum machine.

[@jah9253]

This song has an Opeth feel to it.

Demon of the Fall

[@ReelDrrtyGal]

I was JUST about to say the same!!! 🤘🏽

[@pgstancil]

This is a recording of a demo for the Deadwing sessions. Song never made it past that. Great song though….

[@stevehiggins2348]

First time I've ever heard this - LOVE IT!

[@synchlora]

I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I tried my best here. Please feel free to comment any corrections because I butchered this majorly: Deep shelter I sleep with the light on A quarter bent smile breaking through Bright future A hook on the wall And here on my shin bone, a bruise Godfear(ing) Godfearing family She found a faded old cloth (Carried scar from an Egyptian row?) She saw (a part of a tin can and lips dwelt of?) fists raining down Godfear(ing) Godfearing family Godfearing(ing) Godfearing family Godfear(ing) Godfearing family

[@christopherblue2004]

Damn this song is cool.

[@rsdemarco]

Cool!

[@dannyvaldez6552]

Cuando se da cuenta que los primeros 3 minutos son muy repetitivos Steven se inventa algo con la guitarra y me saca totalmente de mi zona de confort como oyente y me jala a su zona oscura. Grande.

[@RobertHurleyJr]

I saw on Steve Wilsons facebook a mention of a rerelease of rare tricks from In Absentia era. And a new SW cd coming. Its a recent message om his fb. My guess as to where this track came from.

[@bernlin2000]

Very cool, groove reminds me a bit of "Drown With Me", has a strangely upbeat sound considering the lyrical content, mischievous :-P

[@BillyCrawshrimp]

Great track :D

[@andrescl3302]

Hell yeah!!

[@So-Be-It_85949]

Godfearing [Add a litle fire and brimestone]

[@goon-705]

this sounds more like In Absentia more than Deadwing, however the theme of the song is rather similar to that of Halo so maybe it was an _earlier_ version

[@Prizzy999]

Where does this come from??? I think it's time Steven started curating PT's catalogue issuing all the songs that never made it to the albums. Oh, and he sings like Thom Yorke here.

[@manco828]

This sounds a lot like "Drown with Me".

[@MuscLA]

Crossed with Mother and Child Divided.

[@bernlin2000]

Damn...beat me to it by 5 years lol

[@lesbonees]

Thank you. Where the hell did you find this.

FEAR GOD TO LIVE WELL

[@cranberrycanvas]

what about dogs?

[@Mr.Potato1962]

On Witch Album is that Track ?

[@suga4273]

Lyrics please? ?

[@andressantander2055]

someone knows how to play it? :c

[@SylvainMartelFairlight]

That sounds like a drum machine and not Gavin Harrison's live drumming, GH would have put a bucketload of fill-ins everywhere... That may have been recorded during a break between drummers, after Chris Maitland left and before GH stepped in?

[@gaborholtzer8784]

this is Chris' playing for sure

[@redgrove11]

I think it's cos it's just a demo

[@leonard_oakenshield]

Good point. Seems like there aren't many fills in this one. Gavin's tiny china cymbal sounds are definitely missing :D

[@musicforthehead]

it is definitely not, this is a SW-only demo

[@ChasingKillersMusic]

It's a drum machine. This is a demo he's said came around the time of In Absentia or Deadwing. I'd recognize Steven's drum programming anywhere haha

[@Orphaned03]

Demon Of The Fall much...?

[@Orphaned03]

Have you ever heard the track? The main riff is 100% the same.

[@Orphaned03]

Obnoxious? What are a self-centered 7-year-old that cannot live opinions other than yourself? I mean, are you in any way offended by my opinion of this song?

[@Orphaned03]

You amuse me... And guess what, I am not going anywhere. So you may continue with your life.. Go on, my fellow PT fan, hope you find something better to do with your life.

[@BillyCrawshrimp]

@@Orphaned03 lol i wish i could see the other guys comments

[@agemoth]

@@BillyCrawshrimp me too! 😂

[@agemoth]

Don't understand the lyrics.
