Porcupine Tree - Stranger By The Minute

[@zsmain_1520]

one of the most beautiful solos ever.

[@johnstewart2981]

How the hell didn’t this blow up in the late 90s? This is effectively one of the most accessible yet incredible alt rock songs I’ve heard, kinda like 1979 by the smashing pumpkins.

[@BiyekCat]

Ghosts in the park Appear just after dark Killers, children ... But no-one has a harp They look like tourists It makes me want to laugh Under floorboards It's hard to fly a kite Underwater My cigarette won't light Standing in the shade I'm getting frostbite Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams They're getting stranger by the minute When I'm drowning You drag me up to you Rings in the water My only residue But you're just fiction And I'm a twisted boy

[@incubus5663]

Just a friction and am a twisted boy this line made this song much more wonderful

[@mountpainproject]

I love the guitar riff in the background. It's like Porcupine Tree at its most pleasant, wistful.

[@deathwings51]

When I'm drowning, you drag me up to you Rings in the water, my only residue But you're just fiction and I'm a twisted boy Six years on, this line still hurts the most :(

[@yubbauk]

no words to express how I feel listening to this...out of this world.... amazing...transcending..upwards and onwards.....

[@davejones4093]

Can this band do any wrong?! This is brilliant.

[@mitchellbolanos2856]

Cool

[@shuvamghosh999]

But they took the biggest "wrong" step, they broke !! 😢

[@genegould6383]

No... And Yes

[@Phillyfast]

This song just screams 90s rock to me. Love Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree. Wish we could get a reunion.

[@manco828]

The song came out in 1999, so yeah.

[@agemoth]

New album with Steven Wilson too, June this year?

[@sleepingowl8828]

Babe wake up, new PT album dropped.

[@manco828]

Chris Maitland was the drummer on all Porcupine Tree albums through Recordings(2001).

[@GaryALucas]

Steven Wilson reminds me of Roger McGuinn, and even looks like him. He seems to have the same sort of influence that McGuinn had in his day, not to mention being a passable guitarist. Porcupine Tree even sounds like an updated version of The Byrds sometimes.

[@rawedgeman01]

A brilliant song from a great album

[@vikas400]

Probably my favorite album ever

[@coreycrossman3447]

It's this or fear of a blank planet, fear is such a well written album but this is arguably more creative

[@RicardoGarciaKatharsis]

That guitar riff is so 90's it hurts

[@PRCRSTNTR]

word !

[@simonl1785]

Even better in 5.1 sound Excellent

[@Audioholics]

Although pictured here, Gavin is not the drummer on this album.

[@tronjavolta7466]

You can tell by the lack of "tasties".

[@pyromaniarules]

also the year stated in the description is off by like 10 years

[@bryns7870]

@@pyromaniarules First released in 99, then re-released in 2006. Got both of them wrong lmao :D

[@Taradhish]

@@tronjavolta7466 Well having one of the best drummer in the world (from my pov) doesn't make everything, my favorite era of the band was 95/00 and he wasn't their drummer yet.

[@simonb.1962]

2:54 please someone make a 10 hour version of that solo... Edit: here's your repeat button as well ;)

[@sheryll4]

And the portion at 1:54

[@asloii_1749]

Very dreamy

[@annamariamanidi7002]

simple wonderful

[@siloagrain2176]

Why those weeping guitars make me always weep? This is magic Mr Wilson thanks

[@lesclaypool0727]

"Look in my dreams" , nearly Porcupine Tree.

[@The_heir_to_sorrow]

im happy now

[@vikas400]

Stupid Dream is my favorite "Porcupine Tree" album.

[@Kieran84ire]

There is not one Porcupine Tree that doesn't please the ear in some way, my god what a band.

[@agemoth]

Except the track 'Silence' 😂

[@AYURBHATTA]

Wilson is God!!

[@SAHogan-bw4wg]

+Ayur Bhatta Wilson is a volleyball!!

[@duttaroywritabroto]

He's not god, just a mortal man.. Remember god is in his finger ?

[@VerticeAlto]

John Sykes is God ;-) XD.

[@halcyon289]

No he's not !

[@shrijanaryal4923]

I had an asshole boss named wilson. I remembered him by your statement. Lol. But yeah this Wilson is truly a god.

[@edoianna]

20 years have already passed!

[@meloland5649]

Wonderful song....

[@johnsunderland6868]

Oh that solo.... Steve Winwood would have been proud.

[@rockygaba2413]

I love this pic

[@incubus5663]

As some one comes to swallow my dream i often listen to this song

[@gambleanimations9174]

Stupid dream I would consider the most pop album. (doesn't make them pop like pop/rock)

[@giuliopolesel4725]

it has been published in 1999

[@baptistelonqueu9177]

yeah that's what i tought

[@sambamachineryrecords6498]

SWEET

[@Maniac1607]

:39 - :40 - it's like the sun rising.

[@LavenderSlushCore]

Yes, you're right. Strictly speaking, the album was 'FIRST' released in 1999.

[@laurieashton7426]

LavenderSlushCore Can't wait till April to see Mr Wilson😎

[@yashsanghvi2805]

I want to learn this song on the guitar, can anyone help me out?

[@occamseraser]

Capo 1 will help!

[@drury2d8]

[@MrDAVeerl]

But Stupid Dream was released in 1999

[@noogie1]

[@Dehangus]

why the hell would he say killers children no one has a harp

[@luansol]

+Dehangus Dude, have you ever seen a killer child owns a harp?

[@Dehangus]

+Luansol Valério Aquino da Silva I meant to comment to someone who said that's what they think he said in the song I think he says no one has a heart but I would love to see a killer child with a heart I'm sure that would be interesting

[@Dehangus]

+Dehangus godamn it the second heart in there should say harp

[@luansol]

Relax, man. I was just trolling

[@Dehangus]

+Luansol Valério Aquino da Silva don't troll on porcupine tree videos that's disrespectful

[@lutzdr.bellmann2938]

... music, deserving the word music, very different to the actual dancefloorshit, sorry, Steven ...

[@nicolasgoic4835]

terrible penca aguante piano lessons

[@TheZxman]

Way to much Phish in this song. More porcupine please.

[@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy]

WHAT ???

[@joeln901]

Yup, in the Presidency of Trump this makes sense.

[@asloii_1749]

huh
