Porcupine Tree - Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth

[@bjeffalicious]

Pure euphoria, all in all, this tune! At first it starts almost as trickery; a joyful folk song of some kind. Then it transcends into a more spacey semi-melancholic tune bringing on the atmospheric sounds in the background. After that it breaks down with some beautiful organ and guitar sounds starting to behave even more atmospheric, and about halfway out there it has escalated almost unnoticably into a mesmerizing psychedelic trip. The feelings I get from this are mixed, because it blends so beautifully melancholia, nostalgia, uplifting chords. Anyway, as I said in the beginning - it adds up to pure euphoria! When I first heard this tune about 5-6 years ago, I had it on repeat on my music player every morning while riding the bus to work... it gave me just the "restart" that I needed and it relieved me from a lot of culminated negative thoughts. Porcupine Tree has been a solution to many problems.

[@TheOscoste]

i love your comment

[@ihazthots]

+bjeffalicious Shemovedon was my crutch out of a messy and troubled relationship. I thank Porcupine Tree every day for being a light when I needed to see it the most.

[@Ksianth]

one of the most underrated songs, a masterpiece. oh how i miss the old porcupine tree...

[@slavecalledshiver2949]

Am I the only one who thinks Lightbulb Sun is one of there best releases?

[@slavecalledshiver2949]

***** I don't agree with you, In my opinion Fear Of A Blank Planet lacks emotion...

[@emiliozorrilla5188]

I dont think it lacks anything, Sentimental has a lot of emotions :)

[@mellevandijk]

***** In Absentia is IMO their best shot.

[@tinahaynes696]

I agree, it’s a great album. I love this tune and lightbulb sun, but I love something about every album. At least One song on every album will move me to spend time on listening to it over and over.

[@tinahaynes696]

Sorky I like Blackest eyes.

[@koda0991]

in the NEARfest concert Steven said "If you fall asleep with me you can dream and drowse while I look down your blouse" I think it's just ridiculous how awesome he is

[@RobGasoline1]

As I close my eyes listenin to this song..I start to travel in a different place..Beautiful..

[@paulweber9945]

WHOT!!!! Those odd meter drum parts just kick this song into a totally different dimension IMO... Rapidly becoming a *big* PT / SW addict ehe...

[@larslarson3108]

keep it up, check out phidauex!

[@UncleGroOve]

lars larson Sorry man - good try but the Phideaux tribe just isn't just the right kinda vibe. Cheers Paul

[@Solanacia]

I fucking love the beginning, the banjo mixed with the acoustic guitar... It reminds me of riding my bike down my old neighborhood in the early summer morning.

[@thiswayhomem8]

You're on the ball...way to go! ... it starts with unconditional love for yourself and then everyone and everything else...rock on.

[@hoschist]

to bad they play not more of the old stuff on their concerts. I was lucky enough to go to the Lightbulb Sun Tour in 2001 when they still played at very small venues

[@thomasjoseph3679]

3:08 onwards. Barbieri's genius.

[@HabibTheHeeb]

I have just been hypnotized.

[@NWG92]

Beautiful song and, though I'm usually not a fan of vocal samples in rock-related music, Steve always uses them really effectively. The last half of the song is one of my favorite parts of the album.

[@TheIranianpigeons]

Awsome song, awsome lyrics, awsome performance.

[@netram2000]

This video is exactly my cup of tea :D This song was one of my immediate faves on the whole record :) You've got a great taste!!!

[@oridet]

The drums are great! A real masterpiece!

[@nicksword87]

Said this in another vid nut this is the perfect end to the world song and will be jamming to this all day tomorrow!

[@Protopteryx]

Reference to the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy / Journey of the Sorcerer / 1:51 / ??

[@jamsie0141]

Have to agree with Ksianth ,fantastic song. I do miss the old Tree, their music has changed so much. Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia are so good they are unplayable.

[@TheAdam159]

@frekijsimpson : I agree, PT have made me believe in new music again. They are one of the finest bands around in my opinion.

[@theconstruKctionoflight]

I am a huge Gavin Harrison fan, but this is one song I can say that he cannot (and didn't, based on the live versions of this song he played on with PT) beat the feel of the drums on the original recording by Chris Maitland.

[@deepsky2115]

First thing i thought reading this Songtitle, was "Heavens Gate" - and then there are some Parts of the speech of Applewhite. AWESOME song !

[@yeshamandala2]

My brain just jizzed!

[@serenakhan3549]

No such thing as a bad PT song but just different degrees of excellence!

[@quazifnatik]

Just listen, close your eyes and relax. wow. Thanks for the share.

[@esoterichart]

my favorite pt song! @ nerotonic..the speech that starts at 2:30 and continues later is from the letter written by the' heavens gate' cult leader to explain why he and his cult followers commited suicide....they believed that they were not human, but alien. members of their alien race were coming to get them; they couldnt be taken back to their home planet unless their human bodies were dead...hence the suicides..

[@Solanacia]

The heavens gate cult has never sounded more not creepy and beautiful

[@funkmaster101]

well i think except for the mass murder mr applewhite talks about alot of fascinating topics which requires the understanding beyond intellect. But there is also a possibility he might be right or life and death itself might be an illusion of the mind and fear might be the pillar of rationality

[@shadow0spear]

@oceanborn05 And a bit of Atonement by Opeth too.

[@PennyDreadful1]

This sounds so great! Im a little worried though because more HD versions on youtube have a tinnitus like sound that starts at about 0:55 And im thinking it could be on the album too. Sometimes Steven Wilson makes these little mistakes it seems. No matter.

[@katemurphy1915]

So beautiful.

[@WollyChaps]

This is probably the tenth time I've listened to this today.

[@KefkaFFVI]

Great Video for a great song/great band, Hiken no Ace! ;)

[@Marcoscma]

Thanks for the comments folks, but I did not made this images, I just uploaded the video...

[@randomguyoudontknow]

@shotgunwalter two people of the forty that killed themselves didn't kil themselves until two years later

[@c0nkr3r]

Anyone here after the coronavirus outbreak??

[@Marcoscma]

Still around... but not for long

[@c0nkr3r]

k0l3 last chance to evacuate eh

[@thiswayhomem8]

Ok...so like I said initially...you're on the ball...let's put aside all judgement now...everything is evolving and a better world is being created ... a critical mass of creative thinking has been reached and the balance is tipping in favour of those of us who want this "reality" to change for the better...Be in peace brother...(by the way I always think about my words before I speak,for the very reason you have stated.)

[@Kubolski]

Great song.

[@Cearz1985]

@koda0991 Yes, you all can watch in my channel the video where he said that. SW is simply brilliant!

[@caandca]

this remind me a led zeppelin song especially the intro....wonderful song!!!

[@EnragedSephiroth]

Never gets old...

[@camo06660]

If you fall asleep with me You can dream and drowse The miuntes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town. After all the time I spent with you Spring went away And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone Not grown ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips..

[@Hejeval]

You people need to know that the sampler was taken from the Heaven's Gate cult initiation tape, is on the related videos...

[@metraton8646]

If you would like to learn more about the recycling of our planet you can find out alot from the lectures and books of Samael Aun Weor.

[@rezurrxtion]

Great album

[@Sushi3950]

Love this song, thanks ^^

[@jsiminski]

@ingvaldandre electric guitar with lot's of delay and slight distortion

[@joserobertorv4227]

Mágic music.

[@superstrong1992]

@mrcrapstick99 i think its a mandolin

[@Tmpp88]

Quite the obvious tribute to Whitesnake, check out Ain't Gonna Cry No More and compare the intro :)

[@zeppelin8]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

[@Aryatheapify]

'Heaven's Gate' anyone?

[@Terok_Nor]

this

[@Aryatheapify]

+xninjagrrl finally

[@JosefoSeabra]

Aryatheapify yup

[@RogerLuedecke]

Seems nobody commenting got that connection. They all find it terribly uplifting. Maybe they need some seizure medication.

[@rohanrajak2670]

2:50 god rendezvous

[@Tkivo]

@jonok911 that's true. and kinda fucked up at the same time. :)

[@Marcoscma]

yeah, it's a video mixing software, but I don't remember the name exactly; it's something like Neon something... sorry for that!

[@soocool78]

its simply a visualizer from a certain program that the uploader used, its not an official pt thing or nething

[@oceanborn05]

Reminds me of Closure by Opeth

[@rohanrajak2670]

Acid trip without acid

[@debdattaghosh1321]

Gavin Harrison is insane!

[@bayfield4222]

[@kin3tic0n39]

Pouya Goran explain? i knpw the song

[@DreadedTrader19]

Because it is essentially the same guitar riff

[@krispynachos9980]

Dogs - Pink Floyd

[@ihateonlinepoker]

@McYellowfish I like 'Dog Years'. But Rush can do very little wrong in my eyes. Er.. well... 'I think I'm Going Bald"... hehe coulda done without that one.

[@LepeshkaGoveshka]

Damn. I'm really crying. On my workspace.

[@bobby6009]

[@ParanoyaStudio]

Have they reached the spaceship yet?

[@bivush]

damn! the video looks as if it is ALIVE

[@larslarson3108]

To all my PT FANS: ive listen to every song by SW 1000+ times. Check out Phideaux! Prog rock at it's finest within the Album Doomsday Afternoon. Check it out, PT for the WIN. please come back big fan here!

[@FluffyFractalshard]

this is indeed a masterpiece!

[@thomasthomtithom]

psychedelic shivers without narcotic stuff

[@theconstruKctionoflight]

that sounds like the ravings of a lunatic

[@katemurphy1915]

Yes.

[@actron]

@netram2000 How does one make a video that looks like this?

[@CristianTejadaU]

@tehZwok Animal farm of orwell?

[@dragon4all2005]

[@raduleu293]

2020 Earth is about to be recycled...

[@katemurphy1915]

As beautiful as the stoner visuals.

[@giorgilobjanidze]

[@Marcoscma]

this song has haki! hehe

[@sofoclebeat]

@mrcrapstick99 ayreon can do that too :)

[@Gitslappa]

Can anybody tell me where the quotes they use in this song are from?

[@JoyStar]

I know this comment is 6 years old so you may already have found out, but the audio is from the initiation tapes of the Heaven's Gate cult. They believed that the Hale Bopp comet would take them to the Next Level Above Human, and they all killed themselves when the comet appeared in 1997 (except for four-two who killed themselves two years later and two who still maintain the website to this day)

[@erickromero4096]

[@sanket1971991]

the 3 people disliking this song are deaf and numb xD

[@father042]

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds a bit like King of Birds?

[@andpyramids]

FUCK. YES. THANK YOU.

[@nulinf]

No it's by that (now dead) cult leader of heaven's gate. He committed suicide with his disciples.

[@thiswayhomem8]

I understand this so called reality better than you may think...I do not regurgitate what others have said...and I don't understand why you have reacted so aggresively to my comments,when they were essentially very positive and supportive to you...perhaps you think you have a monopoly on understanding...

[@jackluminous6364]

18 Applewhite´s fans don´t like this.

[@randomguyoudontknow]

Tabs in my vid i'll make a video response

[@sprawler2121]

@westpalmscott parts of the speech made sense by applewhite though like we must leave behind human ignorance human waste human disinformation etc!
