Steven Wilson - Drive Home (4K Remaster)

This year marks the tenth anniversary of my third album The Raven that Refused to Sing. Back then I was remixing the classic seventies music of progressive rock bands King Crimson, Yes, Gentle Giant, and Jethro Tull on an almost daily basis, so my head being full of their music the album became a sort of homage to that style and era. A somewhat nostalgic trip then, but one I’m still very proud of. The album was recorded mostly live in the studio at East West in Los Angeles with my amazing band at the time; Adam Holzman, Nick Beggs, Guthrie Govan, Theo Travis and Marco Minneman, and engineered by the legendary Alan Parsons, who gave it a really golden sound.
The second song on the album Drive Home was based on an original story and characters created by artist Hajo Mueller, later adapted for a beautiful animated video by Jess Cope, which in turn was developed into the computer game The Last Day of June (released by 505 games). The song features a remarkable first take guitar solo by Guthrie.
A new collaboration with Jess for my forthcoming album The Harmony Codex is in the works, which I can’t wait to share with you! In the meantime enjoy a new improved version of the original Drive Home video, expertly remastered and visually improved for its tenth anniversary by colourist Mozart Gabriel.

One of the best guitar solos ever recorded.

[@fishoscine1220]

Correction, THE best solo ever!

[@JANsEffectHouse]

how did I forget?❤❤❤❤

[@stevenglandt3704]

Agreed!

[@pollux9967]

Guthrie is an inspiration.

[@meurtrie]

THE best guitar solo ever recorded

[@klausschneider1045]

It has been about ten years after my loved one had passed away, when I heard this song for the first time. I could not believe that someone else, who did probably not happen to suffer such a catastropy himself, would be able to express my state of mind then so perfectly - "...while the darkness always ends you're still alone..." - so drive home and try to make sort of a life.... 18 years have passed since the disaster occured, I'm high in my sixties, and really, I'm usually not very close to tears, but this is still the song to let them flow again. Drive Home is not just great music, it's overwhelmingly great poetry as well!

[@6stringstandard136]

Love this song and Guthrie's solo is probably one of the best ever.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Definitely up there with some of the best guitar solos like Firth of fifth for that emotional vibe it gives off.

[@Drummershy]

Steven wilson really doesn't get a whole allot of credit from the national music industry. He created such amazing chord progressions and his lyric writting is just inspiring. I admire this man so much.

[@jabgibson]

This album is truly a masterpiece.

[@SplendidFellow]

Absolutely.

[@trailofinsects1881]

Just pure Magic!! Wow! Ive listened and seen the original like 37 times. Showed to my daughters and I said ” This is a true Artist”. Gothries solo still gives me goosebumbs. Just downloaded Hans Zimmers live stuff cause he is there. Steven you are one of the big fours. Since Porcupine… to your solo stuff. Mozart and the big guns would have loved you. I am so thankful I am alive in the era where you make music❤️🤘

[@TheGreatConstantini]

Everytime I lament that there is no great music anymore, all I need to do is play a Steven Wilson song and I fully restored.

[@consentofthegoverned5145]

It's been said before, but Guthrie's solo deserves UNESCO World Heritage status!

[@ICVRXS]

Best guitar solo in history and it only took one take. Guthrie is an absolute legend.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

The greatest Steven Wilson song ever written and my all time favourite 5:08 the finest guitar solo ever delivered 🎸

[@-lazarus-]

From Steven Wilson yeah ! My personal favourite ever is the Pulse live of Comfortably Numb.

[@Nairrrrrrr]

​@@-lazarus-nah

[@kushonyoutube]

This music invokes a certain melancholic feeling within me, some sort of solace enveloped within loneliness. I get transported to a time when I did not have a partner, yet I used to feel at loss. Today, 8 years later, I got out of a 4 year old relationship 2 years ago. Now this song makes me weep from within. I love that I hate that I love this piece of art!!

[@Sanborn32]

One of the most emotional songs ever written......

[@AlfaRossa88]

not crying...just got the greatest guitar solo of all time in my eye ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@BrytonBand]

One of the greatest records of the 2010s and truly does not get the recognition it deserves.

[@apexdada1734]

Cold windowpane A car upturned in the rain Wait on in vain Don't try to bear the blame Deal with the pain Dust down your wings again You need to clear away All the jetsam in your brain And face the truth Well love can make amends But while the darkness always ends You're still alone So drive home Pause without end A moment in time suspends How could she leave? Release all your guilt and breathe Give up your pain Hold up your head again You need to clear away All the jetsam in your brain And face the truth Well love can make amends While the darkness always ends You're still alone So drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home Drive home

[@JoseRomero-og6zx]

El solo de Govan es sublime, pinta con emoción la historia que va contando la canción.

[@danburnes722]

This was a great period for you Steven. This song and Routine are a couple of the most beautiful, sad, provocative, emotional pieces I have heard in music.

[@larrycass3198]

With maybe more to come this year? With his up and coming new album.

[@ronnieeuda]

Don't forget The Raven That Refused To Sing!

[@euphorichaggis8486]

This is my favorite song from the album. I bought 'The Raven that Refused to Sing' in multichannel surround hi-res audio. It sounds amazing! Brilliant album! The guitar solo near the end performed by Guthrie Govan is amazing. More people need to hear this song.

[@ThiagoRibeiroDaSilva]

What a moment to be alive!

[@georgelancaster5833]

Dang! Didn't know this guy existed until tripping across this. Like early Genesis, Renaissance resurrected. But freshened up, with a bit of polish. If he comes to Sydney, I'll be there. With bells on!!

[@spalazzo9]

Forever grateful to have been born in an era where this exists. Such a gift brought into our world.

[@luffyluck]

This definitely give "Comfortably Numb" vibes, and there is no way it wasn't inspired bit the Pulse live version of it :O! Both amazing!

[@antonioalcantar-k8r]

Uno de los mejores solos de guitarra del señor Guthrie Govan, y una de las mejores alineaciones de Steven Wilson todo se complementa en esta canción

[@auslanderbassmusic]

One of the best songs and best solos I've ever heard! But also, whole album is amazing!

[@MrMelodyCold]

I had not planned to cry today but here I am

[@stevechesney2498]

Beautiful song! Steven Wilson is a great musician! He surrounds himself with other great musicians and he ends up with these type of masterpieces! I can’t wait to hear Harmony Codex on my turntable

[@Labretagnecountryball35lesang]

One of the best music ever made. Thank you Steven Wilson. I hope the vinyl will arrive in France ❤

[@jeanchristopheb]

10 years after and it still is a fabulous masterpiece. See you in another 10.

[@nimaasgharzade3799]

This is art and touching your soul everytime you hear it Words can't describe how beautiful and emotional this piece of art is ❤ thank you Steven Wilson

[@UtsavManga]

F I N A L L Y !! Gonna cry in 4k from now on! :')

[@Nettacki]

[@MinusCube]

Ah yes! one of the best songs and music videos and guitar solos, all together in one place

[@marcelapavezb]

The best guitar solo ever ❤❤❤

[@Diosotz]

Crying now in 4K

[@Prowler2k]

[@jamessunderland6844]

I will never get over this story. So beautiful. Somehow it gets me truly immersed

[@manhaesclaudio]

I love how the Steven's music makes me feel so sad and so happy at the same time. It's a true masterpiece.

[@SSSaw100]

One of the best guitar solos ever

[@abhishekdas3320]

Thank you Parijat for introducing Steven Wilson in my life. Actually thank you for ever being a part of my life. I know we are estranged for whatever reasons but I promise you, I still treasure everything you've taught me and I am willing to take all of it to my grave. And I will dust down my wings again sooner or later.

[@grazynasz.6350]

Przepiękny utwór. Uwielbiam kompozycje Stevena Wilsona niezwykle poetyckie, pełne smutku i nostalgii. Prawdziwe arcydzieła. ❤

[@povgrounch]

Steven Wilson is the art

[@gaxipide]

I lost count but every time i listen to this solo it is consistantly outstanding

[@severehaemorrhage232]

Oh god, Guthrie's solo is back and forth blown me away..

[@stevenalbertwood9090]

Found Porcupine Tree early 2000s and have been listening to your genius ever since. Always feeling it so much emotion in it.

[@BigDaddyFraze]

I thank Kevin Moore each day for introducing me to Steven's talent and all the talented people surrounding him. It has been an enormous pleasure to explore his music. The video looks superb in 4k! 👍

[@__Diagnosis]

I sometimes wonder where Dream Theatre would have progressed if Kevin stuck with them

[@jimweiss]

Wow!! wow!!!! I have not felt that good from a guitar solo in a long time great song so glad it just popped up while listening to Bowie that’s divine intervention if you ask me

[@MildandLazyGuy]

Achingly beautiful...

[@ozanmalkoc]

I started to listen this song when I moved my current aparment and still listening for months. As I felt that there is an emotional bond between this song with my apartment I hung painting of this video :) Steven, please come to Turkey with Guthrie. I must listen that song live :)

[@geoffdrumming5146]

Always a tear when i See this clip! Thank you mister Wilson!

[@michaeldignan4607]

Guthrie Govan take a bow!

[@_jeff65_]

KZbin should be sued for interrupting this masterpiece with ads.

[@TheValueOfN]

Hear Hear.

[@SoundsFromBeyond]

There is a way to easily get around the ads. You just have to be Brave enough to try it.

[@adrianaleiva4674]

Está obra maestra solo pudo haber Sido escrita por el gran Steven Wilson ✨

[@marinovedder]

Joya de canción

[@loudmind68]

Steven Wilson es Dios!

[@manueltorres-fq9hh]

y el solo guitarra de guthrie deberia ser patrimonio de la unesco

[@MatteilloxX]

Así es

[@isaiasabinadisosagarcia936]

I never really paid attention to the video. It left me in tears

[@petram.4461]

Lange nicht mehr gehört - und immer wieder wunderschön... Steve Wilson... great artist !!! Thank you for sharing 💗💗💗

[@GastonFasito]

Now we can cry in 4k

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Ahhh, one of the best Solos ever, and a classic Wilson heartrender. Now in Hi-Res. Thank you v. much!!

[@dominoscr]

I feel so lucky to be hearing this for the first time. The recording is just on another level. I really don't think I have EVER heard anything so perfectly put down and to have it be so good on every level, just amazing accomplishment and a true masterpiece. The only thing I can even compare it to is "God Only Knows" from Pet Sounds. Really, really great!

[@Sid2harth]

At the time of its release, this video was home to come back to, always warm and fuzzy. Almost always got a tear out, the story, the animation and that beauty of a solo. Thank you for the remaster. 🧡

[@eleventhcassette]

Just finished Last Day of June and seeing this music video... phenomenal and emotional. The song absolutely rocks!

[@deffySharp]

Thank you, Steven. Now i can finally shed a tear in 4K.

[@allanwalli2935]

For sure! 😊

[@pollux9967]

This song breaks my heart all over again every time I hear it.

[@maysan9878]

Sooooo beautiful!❤ The animation is amazing and the guitar solo is fire 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸

[@stuartmiller7419]

Pure sonic and visual genius. One to take with you till you go.

[@sohinidey1935]

I finally got to be the 1st like. Can't ever have enough of this song.

[@allanwalli2935]

The remaster is mind blowing. Ive listened to the original dozens of times. I highly recommend hooking up to a real stereo. Chills!

[@andrewhughes170]

Just Brilliant......

[@andrewhughes170]

Was at the Royal Albert Hall for the live concert, was a type of eargasm......

[@1971Sdiaz]

Wow! All puppets turn into almost human beings with the 4K upgrade. A very beautiful piece of art.

[@raphaeljorge]

One of my favorite tracks EVER!! And one of the best guitar solos ever recorded! A masterpiece indeed…

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Incredible song and video to suit. You can read all of his expressions

[@MrSkullVA]

9 years already? damn :O I still love it ♥

[@michaoginski6220]

My Favourite of him. Love this solo forever, brings Memory from 2018. Thanks from poland.

[@RRickenbacker]

This is beautiful music. It drives me nuts that KZbin thinks it's okay to place commercials during a musical piece.

[@fede7449]

Beautiful album, beautiful song, what a masterpiece

[@raknoescobar3705]

como olvidar su paso por Chile se agradece sentí mucha emoción al escuchar sus canciones son parte de mi sonido favoritos

[@tonylocke1214]

Steven is certainly one of the greatest musicians (as in writers, musicians, and producers), of this Century. In my view, as close to a modern day genius as I’ve experienced. And I’m pretty fucking old.

[@MrDuneedon]

I loved revisiting this video (and song) for the first time in quite a while. What a masterpiece -- the song AND the video!

[@holyhell8687]

Steven! You make me feel so sad and happy at the same time

[@guitaristssuck8979]

The ad placed 4 minutes in really enhanched the listening experience

[@pcs56]

This is so, so good on every level.

[@sumitbhattacharyya2058]

@Steven man Its a song listened from my side several thousand times only you can see it and from so many so mt friends!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@nd7]

This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written

[@mattsanchez4893]

Didn't think this could possibly get any better and yet it has!

[@vapeymcvape5000]

Masterpiece.

[@thomasfokas]

Such a beautiful song and breathtaking video!!! …and amazing guitar solo.

[@aftabkhan1961]

I recently came across Mr Wilson and then PT. I’m a huge fan of Genesis, Yes, Rush, Talk Talk, etc. However, those bands don’t produce music any more so when I discovered SW and PT I had the same feeling of excitement listening to beautiful new music I once had as a teenager! I’m 62 now. So of course I’ve bought every album.

[@brettcaporale8031]

If it wasn't for Pandora I probably would have never discovered Steve what beautiful music

[@michaellarkin6158]

This damn song gets me in tears every time. The mark fo truly great music

[@jeremybernstein7235]

That song is in my view still one of Steven's best. (the album is one of my all time favorites). Note: on the details it says the it's from the album "Drive home", but the album was actully called: "The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)"

[@lilizambrano2430]

I’ve always thought that this song is so tragic yet so beautiful.

[@MurphyTheOldMan]

Excellent Music video, such things are very rare to see nowadays

[@fishoscine1220]

Jess Cope is the greatest animator of all time! Love all of her work, particularly Metal music videos.

[@bugeanuflorin1531]

Absolutely, beautiful song, thank you .Great video. Good time for you

[@oregonwoodelf]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Well done, Steven!👏❤

[@matthewalexander8752]

What a refreshing change to hear beautiful melody once again in contrast to many current ‘songs’…..I’m souled. Steven!

[@sirgatopateadordeabuelas1796]

Le agradezco a mi papá por haberme presentado a tan grande artista, y a tan hermosa canción :'D

[@paulmaxwell4934]

So brilliant, off the best Steven Wilson album (IMHO) SO FAR!! Looking forward to the new material.

[@conradpalmer3702]

Absolute genius from the greatest artist ever..ninet absolutely superb..thanks to them both.

[@kdstuf]

The colors are so vibrant and the sound is pure bliss

[@JohnnyONeilOfficial]

Indescribably beautiful in so many ways. And some stories just can't be told in less than four minutes...

[@MuriloRenkse]

Thank you so much to all the people involved on this! Steven, the band, Jess. So perfect!
