I legit just had a mental breakdown listening to this. The chorus breaks me

[@TheBloodRite]

"This city drains me - Or maybe it's the smell of gasoline." - Shallow "Something in this town is draining me. Could be the junkfood or the gasoline." - Happiness III.

[@WeinerlessSteve]

+Temporal Shrew This is a better song than Shallow imo

[@simiolonga]

Shallow is a good song, but I can't deny it. This is Wilson's evolution as an artist, and, ergo, a better song.

[@michaeledwards6683]

Yeah, Deadwing is better overall, but Shallow is by far the weakest track on the album.

[@anujmchitale]

Michael Edwards I genuinely expected shallow to pop out amazingly well in the 5.1 DTS release of Deadwing. But it's the least impressive in that too.

[@AdamBurnsRed]

Temporal Shrew "Is there anything else I can write that I haven't read? It's all been said." - Happiness III

[@nieckolai]

Been hooked on this song lately.

[@LiarOfAngmar]

This one is insanely cool... Took me some years to realize it existed and to dig it up even though I had been following SW's activities closely (.. Or so I thought!) for years!! Cheers Mr Wilson!!

[@thecosmicblueautie]

The melodies this guys comes with...lawd, yes!

[@alejandro-glz]

Steven and Neal Morse are my composition heroes

[@gianmarcogiacomini7725]

Amazing!Let's buy the album

[@laurenceellis8311]

4 1/2, being a 'bits and bobs' release still comes out better than many bands finest works... Steven Wilson and Neal Morse should be considered among the most significant musical writer / performers of the 21st century... This is my first hearing of this album, and it's a fabulous crossover of raven and hand...

[@kraken4RvB]

Favourite track on the album so far.

[@nipsutus9424]

The best pop I've heard so far. Hope they play some of this on their tour :D

[@JessBedolla3]

He is a fucking genius. Thanks for sharing it.

[@AYURBHATTA]

My pleasure, Andrea!

[@bunnyhead71]

+Andrea Bedolla yeah, there's kinda no other way to put it.

[@michaelklappauf4408]

+Andrea Bedolla Hell yeah! BTW, Andrea, I happened to click on your channel and the first thing I see is a Zappa link. Between that and your comment about Steven Wilson, I can tell right away that you have fucking amazing taste. Rock on, girl.

[@JessBedolla3]

Hey, thank you! I can tell from what you are saying that you also have an amazing taste. I like prog in general. Btw, I can see that you also have an amazing taste in movies, Eraserhead!

[@michaelklappauf4408]

+Andrea Bedolla Why thank you very much! David Lynch fan as well, huh? It's so awesome when you randomly stumble across someone with such impeccable sensibilities such as yourself. 2 KZbin comments in and I can tell you're more awesome than most everyone else I run across on a daily basis.

[@marillion2k]

Love this song! Can't wait to get this album!!

[@janofe2232]

Possibly the cheeriest SW song ever!

easily an masterpiece...more than perfect

[@jesusitotuto]

Me enamore de esta cancion. Me emociona hasta las lagrimas. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Chile.

[@danielbarros4478]

De verdad? Pero las letra es infeliz jsjjs

[@antoniovallejos4537]

@@danielbarros4478 si, la letra es bastante triste, pero el contraste de lo movida de la canción la hace mejor, más desalentadora todavía jajajaja

[@RuptimusPrime]

This is way too catchy. I can't get the chorus out of my head. SEND HELP

[@richierich1587]

I can send ya another Wilson album 😂 that’s the only way

[@LiarOfAngmar]

You won't, no one can!! 😉

[@quentinnussbaumer8922]

Moving and catchy as hell!!! Sir Wilson never fails to impress

[@irena7777777]

+George David In what way has he failed with this album?

[@irena7777777]

***** Wasn't me who said he never fails to impress. Revert back the way and see. It failed to impress you. Are you the common opinion?

[@irena7777777]

+George David Because taste is subjective.

[@Derwichmusique]

+George David not really an album, more a kind of EP... Personnally it impressed me by the fact it's solid as hell for a bunch of B Sides.

[@beijaflor9313]

+George David I can't even see my last comment to know what you are replying to lol.

[@MikeLoux]

Just bought the EP (thank you very much Google Now for popping it up on my cards this morning, even if I ultimately got it from Amazon). Not sure what's my favorite after only one listen, but this song is insanely good.

[@sonicadv27]

Why do people hate fade-outs? There's no better way to end a catchy song than with fade-out, it feels like it goes on forever. Giving it an ending would kill the thing altogether.

[@marterax]

Depending on the end you choose to give it (time flies ending for example)

[@C20H25N3Ofya]

+sonicadv27 This is a pointless thing to add but hey. I was listening to this song on headphones via phone while I browsed youtube on the PC and read your comment as the song played. By mere coincidence the track faded out as the vid was at 2:35...basically I heard 4:29 and 2:35 at the same time and all I could hear was the track fade out and the chorus continued in the backround. Basically it echoed what you said about the song feeling like it goes on forever. Great point! Cheers!

[@Chuixupu]

+sonicadv27 I don't hate fade outs, sometimes I think they're the best way to end a song. In this case, I think he even said most of this was pulled from an old demo, so he probably didn't want to rebuilt the song from scratch just to create an ending. So it just feels like it's a little bit half-baked.

[@bitjezeverpeisek]

[@matthatmusic]

Thanks for sharing! This track is awesome.

[@LauraMoraleslauramovi]

This is soooo great! beautiful. Thanks.

[@CptLington]

Yes, awesome. I hope this track goes global! It's something that everyone on this planet should be able to hear! (hate the fade out) But then, just listen to it again! Fantastic!

[@Stevesupcom]

Perfect. "I hide it well"

[@MrSecretworld1]

Love it .....

[@ZavnorZ]

Just saw him two days ago....fucking unbelievable.

[@manowarkilmyster4542]

Amazing,l lo ve this song,got coleccion Steven wilson

[@kurtlantz2748]

think it's time to get off the kitchen floor...

[@danholo]

Very nice! I don't usually listen to this kind of music but I'm enjoying this very much.

[@JonachoVlog]

It's amazing! I really like it, I hope so the CD's come to my country :(

[@kiwi9147]

Love this ...such a beautiful catchy song .. but with the dark edge and lyrics I love I wouldn't have it any other way These songs should have been on HCE to make it an even more incredible album.. I think they would have fit right in I love SW solo ...I love PT ...I love blackfield Love the the was his music is always evolving

[@jackbeautifulrace8931]

Awesome as usual. Thanks SW :)

[@MrAndyRowell]

Is there a style he can't nail? amazing talent!

[@michaeledwards6683]

postrock

[@TheAdam159]

so beautiful

[@JuanHernandezV]

I just can't believe how ridiculously good SW is... is not normal... something must be wrong here!

[@metaldude7121]

My favorite Steven had proven his genius again and this is an e.p and better than insurgetes

[@ramonmartinez5733]

the rhyme structure is similar to "postcard"

[@AYURBHATTA]

Indeed.

[@ritavratjoshi9801]

+Ramón Martínez and the break in My Book of Regrets reminds me of Time Flies ...haha...anyways...this album's good as well

[@zubairkhan-wb5sy]

+Ramón Martínez there are sections where u might find similiar but its new song. steven also did that in gravity eyelids and open car. but its helps him create perfect songs new songs.

[@Chuixupu]

+Ramón Martínez I noticed that too...the versus of the two songs tend to get mixed together in my head. And yeah, I noticed that one section in My Book of Regrets sounds a little like Time Flies, and also there's a section in Sentimental that sounds a bit like Trains. :) I think in some cases he's deliberately making reference. Like how in "Pure Narcotic", he uses a line directly from "Wake As a Gun" from Signify. Oh, and one more thing...if you hum the opening verse to "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before it is Recycled" and the first verse of "Our House" by Madness, they're very similar. ;)

[@lokuendog]

+Ramón Martínez Yeah it seems like a continuation to Postcard in lyrics and structure.

[@iyadaouf3115]

can't wait to see you tomorrow .. Steven :)

[@jaden536]

Favorite Song from the new ep

[@subigyabikramthapa5198]

AWESOME!!! :D

[@AYURBHATTA]

;)

[@gabrielefronterre7029]

bellissima

[@zackantonioli8313]

Does anybody else feel parallels to Postcard in this? To me the verses feel like a rocky Postcard.

[@subigyabikramthapa5198]

yea exactly!!

[@wadsmitter511]

The melody is virtually the same

[@AbelDamajAnathemA]

Intelligence !!

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

This one sounds like "Postcard" from Grace For Drowning in some parts. It's still great regardless. I've been so hung up on Hand.Cannot.Erase still that I totally forgot this existed!

[@eliourdaneta4871]

A Beatles Revival

[@georgemckenna7570]

Obviously left off a full-length studio album as it's more of an outtake than anything, i.e. "Shallow" and most probably "Postcard" grew out of it. Still an effing brilliant song though.

[@Kwinquark1]

Wish my out-takes had this quality

[@pravinbhandari8830]

why this song sounds like "postcard", is this like another part of that song or what ??

[@richierich1587]

Are there any reasons left to git out of bed Is there anything I can write that I haven’t read It’s all been saaaiiiiddddd

[@PennyDreadful1]

Yeah this is nice. Reminds me of Stupid Dream/ambulance chasers era PT. Short, punchy and sweet. The production isnt really up to par though imho. That choir should be beefier. It's barely audible here.

[@Diomatre]

Feels like steve had flu on this song

[@Chuixupu]

I love this song, but a little disappointed by the fade-out ending.

[@19krille67]

Yees!!!! A good song from SW . With out the fusion jazz crapiness. Bring back the Harmony korine sound .......

[@silentrev_7360]

19 people are fucken sad. lol

[@breakdown2218]

Probably one of the worst Steven Wilson songs... but it's still better than everything on the radio.
