[@InformeMatrix]

moods is gradually changing, he orders all of his friends into another room, closes the door, he sits alone on a wooden floor, visible only by the dim light shining from the bathroom. He talks to himself. The time is now 1 am, unable to snap his fingers and terminate the trip, which continues. He sobs, as his joy turns to fear.rocky journey ended 12 hours after it had so innocently begun, he was shattered by it.

[@darkwingppk]

I've seen PT twice in concert. Steven is always barefoot. He had a little throw rug down to walk on both times I saw him. :)

[@louellyngreen6408]

I wonder if it's because he can feel the vibrations of the music through his feet without shoes on

[@mikereiss4216]

@@louellyngreen6408 Maybe. I think he's just more comfortable that way.

[@raf47]

Excelent solo, this song is soo amazing!!!

[@Slashandcarry]

Wow... One of the most amazing things I've heard. The solo in Phase 1 is my fave guitar solo ever.

[@luthierjustin1]

I often wonder how it feels to be this badass

[@IsufBytyci]

i love guitar solo part , love it....

[@LiveOnQueen]

how is this crowd so boring?! i'd be going ape shit if they played this song live PORCUPINE TREE, I BEG OF THEE! GO ON TOUR AGAIN PLEASEEE!!

[@flakosergio1]

[@Mantooth901]

I love when he stares down Colin Edwin at 2:45

[@jordansbeard]

I saw them in nyc during this tour.

[@onesppiegel]

I love the part from min 6:00 "Is this trip really necessary?"

[@leechh]

perfect

[@jeorjemika]

this is ecstasy of mind!!!

[@ulysse31]

with this song i'am high without any additional drug...

[@c4589z]

Thanks for posting this. Fantastic song. Great band, you have to see them.

[@gglaw42]

I was i nthe second row, stage left during this gig.

[@Urzukar]

Yeh, I agree, that's the same solo I pick out. I love that one, probably best solo I know. It's a nice add to the song, which I really like.

[@Dagnus284]

=) That's how it went down the first time i ever heard Voyage 34

[@LuisRojas-ne1ef]

love it

[@theozwart]

Whooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, S.W. transformation as highest encounter.

[@ha11oga11o]

I like this one, good one :) thnx

[@DTRemcoG]

100% agreed!

[@Eddiewantstohangout]

i really like porcupine tree...and this song is fantastic...but i cant help but notice the similarity it has to another brick in the wall part 1 (not to be confused with the famous another brick in the wall part 2) from pink floyds the wall....

[@fharada01]

7:45 to 8:40 just amazing...

[@aaszx1]

there is camera operator there... there must be pro-shot of full show somewhere to be found

[@amdby]

One of the only times when PT sound better on record than live, i think. This record should be listened to, not looked at.

[@vasilismpiziliotis]

music and drugs... the best combination for porcupine tree

[@YrendenQ]

cool

[@BenjaminJDickson]

fuckin tune!

[@AlexVerdugoOFICIAL]

AND THE SECOND PART?!!?!?!!?!??!?!?! I HAVE NEVER SEE IT LIVE!!!!!!!!

[@Myretartedpet]

The riff played throughout the song sound almost exactly the same as the one played throughout another brick in the wall

[@TFFgeek]

@Myretartedpet So you noticed that too! :D First time I heard Another brick part 1, the opening riff, I heard Voyage. I wonder if Steven did that on purpose....

[@Mantooth901]

Believe it or not Steven Wilson has never taken a drug in his entire life before

[@alejandroduran8114]

Mantooth901 you got to be joking bro I don't believe that!!!!!

[@HuevosLibertad]

@soocool78 Right on, man.

[@stratkar]

@TFFgeek he said it may seem like another brick in the wall but he is actually inspired by another song, some ethnic music i think

[@benjammin9923]

steves a weirdo man guess most geniuses are lol

[@nikeja]

So, tell me in this song.. a part of it.. a riff or anywhere.. where do I begin to understand the meaning of the phrase "out-of-bodily experience"? is there a bad part that simply gets you back to your body or it simply flies you away, takes you to a trip... I love you, PT! Really love you

[@oskarpajunen]

34 ratings, how ironic ;D

[@soocool78]

wilson remind me of mitch hedberg....

[@BereGoar]

Does anyone know if they were high when they wrote this? I don't want you to tell me what you think, I've been looking for that information and haven't discovered a thing D:

[@terria8825]

Nahomi González the answer you seek lies within

[@paulgraves1392]

Nahomi González Steven has said that this song was a blatant attempt to cash in on the ambient music genre of the very early 90s. Given that the early PT was a parody of prog it is unlikely that it was actually based on any real experiences with drugs. I actually spoke with Steven about this song when he toured Australia last year. What he had to say about it with the recording being 25 years old he longer saw himself in it.

[@Heiteinah]

This is better than sex

[@Jesterhead-ow6gu]

iron maiden- stranger in a strange land (solo riff) 7 minutes 7 seconds :)

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

with all the Pink Floyd comments aside, how about the bass player's headgear? good choice for such a good bass line

[@Roddrummer]

Is he deliberately ripping off Floyd's 'Run Like Hell'?

[@sarogadam]

elképesztő... 7:10től jön az elszállás (h5)

[@miguelangelquinteropineros656]

Is Gavin on drums?

[@Afterdark68]

No.. it’s Chris Maitland

[@GreySkiesFallen]

Hey guys, if you like Porcupine Tree then check out my band Grey Skies Fallen on my channel!!!

[@ilovepurplehaze420]

you see John Lennon is alive!!!

[@totlyepic]

I think you're confusing irony with coincidence.

[@olegbalbukov9968]

pINK FLOYD COVER ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART2 COVER?ORIGINAL IS MUCH BETTER

[@sajidur1993]

Oleg Balbukov The bass line 'might' sound the same in some points, but this is entirely a different song, and Steven is of course capable of making such epic pieces. The sound quality sucks here, so try listening to the original track.

[@danilodesouzavivedes2656]

+Oleg Balbukov Steven sampled the riff from another brick in the wall :)

[@olegbalbukov9968]

ok)))

[@abhishekchowdhury7468]

go home you are drunk

[@klausheinrichkiwi]

2/10 troll harder

[@ilovepurplehaze420]

You see John Lennon is still alive!!!
