Lyrics:
Gold man bites down on a silver tongue
Takes a deep breath and blows the candle out
He knows the truth but he keeps it to himself
Here it is
You can only save yourself
Only yourself
When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you’re in the dirt
You don’t show your hurt to the world
Cold man, white knuckles on the wheel
Well it’s all just there to steal
You just gotta take it
Take it like the harridan you are
It’s the time of the almost rain without you
I am in debt to night
And gone to earth for love
And I, a shadow
And what of us?

[@jarihalonen9642]

Wilson and Barbieri are what come to my mind. Harrison wasn't PT drummer in the beginning, and I have to say Lightbulb Sun was one of their defining albums. I'm a little bummed by the fact that Colin is not with them, but fuck I'll take Porcupine Tree any day.

[@onetrueslave]

@@jarihalonen9642 I know only a few, but Lightbulb Sun is fantastic and certainly defining for them. Signify introduced their sound and talents to me back in the 90s. I was blown away by it and practically convinced they were aliens warning humanity what was to come. I was young and high. Anyway, I've always felt that album was the most cohesive lyrically and in the way one song flowed/evolved into the next. Brilliant.

I am crushed that Colin isn't a part of this new generation but thankful that Richard, Gavin, and Steven remain a solid trio. This new direction sounds like perfect parts of old PT mixed with a modern-prog edge, parts of this remind me of tool but a big part of this sounds like Karnivool, which has me so excited.

its good you mention that. i think steven wilson should have a blend of porcupine tree with steven wilson band. my openion would be to merge some members from both bandd into a single band,,without placing aside all the great quality from the other past key players. my openion this band should have: Richard Barbieri, gavin harrison, steven wilson, Guthrie Govan and Nick Beggs . that would be the best fusion band possible. a band that would play porcupine tree and steven wilson songs and make news albums with both concepts. i know the bands are different but why not? that way steven wilson would have a rest instead of trying to make everyone happy from one band into another band.hope steven wilson would listen to me and try to do that.imagine listening the best tracks from both bands?

Noticed it too. One of his most intense and well constructed ever! ;)

[@sugarwall8794]

As a drummer who is learning this song I can say that this fill is actually not extremely difficult as it’s mostly rolls and/or 16th/32nd notes. But furthermore it is difficult because of its timing. On starts on beat 5 and extends to 1 of the measure after. Furthermore it is hard physically because it is fast and goes immediately into the chorus groove which is relatively hard anyway.

[@IrisvS_76]

These kind of fills when he’s performing live, at first, turn on: surprise me because most of the time he plays it live a tad different than on the album. Tune in: At second it makes me tighten up because it sometimes feels like he’s not going to make it to the bridge in time and makes me think: how in the héll are you going to fix this, Gavin!!! Drop out: And right at the moment where he weaves his patterns and lifts the song to the point where they all get together again, I get the chills because I feel relieved and exited at the same time. Really, this working man makes my senses go nuts during a live show! Brilliant and I 💖 it. Can’t wait to hear this song, but most of all PT, live again.

The Greatest Comeback Of All Time.

[@DynamicRangeSeeker]

This album has a high dynamic range (DR 12), it introduces no distortion, and listening is not fatiguing. Turn up the volume on your system/device to experience the benefits of dynamic mastering. This is an album worth spending your money on. Let's reward the band's, the label's, and the sound engineers' choice of dynamic mastering and buy the record!

[@ILikeWafflz]

Wide dynamic range, both in mixing and song structure, are crucial (to me anyway) to making music enjoyable, and I _very_ much appreciate that about PT

Biggest comeback ever. I❤️porcupine tree.

Hearing Barbieri's always atmospheric contributions with Gavin and Steven once again is a joy to behold. Tis sad that Colin doesn't appear to be involved, would be interested to hear who has been filling his shoes...

It could be Steven on bass as he wrote a lot of the bass on his solo records but it does sound a bit like Nick Beggs

Please don't be Nick Beggs filling in for Colin. Beggs is a good bassist but I've always thought he's a bit too 'flashy' of a bassist

Sadly, if the promotional material is any indication, Colin's not with the band anymore. Still loving this song but it's a real shame nonetheless, I always loved Colin's basswork.
