Steven Wilson - Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth... (The Future Bites Sessions)

Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled lyrics:
If you fall asleep with me
We could dream and drowse
The minutes 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
Summer 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
(Spoken word, Marshall Applewhite of Heaven's Gate)
Let me say that our mission here, at this time
Is about to come to a close in the next few days
We came from distant space
And even what some might call somewhat of another dimension
And we are about to return from whence we came
It requires that you - if you move into that evolutionary kingdom
That you leave behind everything of human ways, human behaviour
Human ignorance, human misinformation
If I would title this tape, it would be
'Last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is recycled'
Buy/stream my new album 'THE FUTURE BITES' - stevenwilson.l...

[@giovanni21mas]

Missed Colin Edwin´s bass playing but the electronic part was a nice touch

[@zachanley2114]

Colin's bass is the most underrated part of porcupine tree

[@evannewman8381]

That fretless bass made the song

[@antonionovi1706]

Prefere much more PT version.Bass is fundamental in this song.

[@coreymcnaught]

Really needs that “mwah” bass. Guts me that he doesn’t want to play with those three guys anymore.

[@meditationrelaxationtherap7078]

That was my favorite part! 😃

[@AC-uu9qp]

Who else was humming Colin's fretless line😂? Thanks for this amazing version, Mr. Wilson, this song gives me the goosebumps.

[@medhajg4325]

Yeah, he should do even less next somebody tell him please

[@Metal_Vistas]

Not humming, but hearing it in my head. :D

[@melian2003]

Please put all these sessions on a cd! They are all wonderful.

[@omairsh8]

At least on Spotify!

[@bernlin2000]

I realllly love the original, but the synths added to this one is really phenomenal, pretty much a required version now!

[@rikymildinerBikeBici]

4 Keyboards+ 3 Guitars+ 2 Voices+ 1 percussion digital box+ Magnificent !! Beautiful !! Thank you !!!

[@Windavee]

This version absolutely kicks ass

[@tiny9398]

Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream have always been by favorite PT albums. This song hits me with so much nostalgia

[@alansmith9293]

Unbelievable just awesome! - 3 words that some up this man!

[@Eddyspeeder]

I am speechless. One of my favourite PT songs. Great timing too, the canceled tour was a big downer.

[@USMCSDI]

I could watch and listen to your beautiful talent ALL day EVERY day sir. I sure do MISS Porcupine Tree though sir

[@Lineageholder]

I love this song so much but I think that Colin's fretless bass sounded better than the new added electronics.

[@Lineageholder]

@@ln2435 Yes, but sadly I feel the atmosphere of the track that I loved so much on Lightbulb Sun is lost.

[@MidwinterMinis]

I remember seeing this in 2000 when you played The Scala, I think it was the debut show for a lot of songs from Lightbulb Sun. Blew my mind, crazy to think that was 21 years ago.

[@shiftyjesusfish]

i want to like this comment but its at 21 likes and changing that would be a sin

[@_MrPink_]

It was yesterday. Or the day before. All of Steven's music is as fresh today as it was the day it was released.

One quiet afternoon in 2065 you may hear this song looking out to sea, and discover that the end of the life we ​​knew has come.

Oh hell, I'll still be alive then... Thanks for the cheery, but likely true, message hahah

Probably more somewhere around 2030

Glad to see that the worker is back at the Nostalgia Factory. Thanks Steven!!!

[@darklyspun]

This is my favorite song. Of anyone. Ever. Since I was twenty. And hearing this for the first time right now, I’m a mess. Shaking. My heart is beating out of my chest. Wait. Wait. Play it again. Oh my god, that part. I never heard it like this. I can’t speak. I need to talk to someone. I need to share this, dammit no one is gonna understand this. Does anyone understand this?! My heart….

[@_MrPink_]

This track... this one. So long ago, I was in a really complicated relationship, and I had taken a walkabout because of it. I was literally in the middle of nowhere when this track came up, and it struck me like lightning. I will never forget that moment. To hear it again now, reinterpreted by Steven again...takes me back to then, and makes me acknowledge now. This is awesome. Thanks for this, Steven.

[@willu842]

Similar experience with a SW song. On a walk and everything and "To the Bone" hit me like a brick wall. I love that his music can have that effect on people. He's the GOAT

[@KasiaPisarska]

Steven, hi. Thank you so much for this. 3 hours ago, I had to finally come to the terms with the fact that a relationship that I've been trying to /recycle/ since last March, will never work out. I cried and I prayed. I just came back to my computer, and I found this video. The same song I listened to when I initially moved out from him in July, and fled across the countries to my childhood home in Poland. I remember sitting barefoot outside that late summer night, with clear skies and moisture on the grass. I remember the feeling of leaving something very painful behind, with hope taking its place. It wasn't really over back then. But the song is different now, and I'm stronger, too. No need to smoke cigarettes or fall in love with someone new, no /integral part missing/, I feel complete. However cliche, I'm having 'a full circle' moment here right now haha, and thought I'd (over)share. Love to you all x

[@ShinDSER]

What a great arrange of that second part, sounds both nostalgic and modern. Fantastic.

[@Freq412]

I keep coming back to listen and watch you play this song. I never get tired of it, I love it. I also share it with everyone who I talk to about music. The Mellotron part: Ethereal, spacey, from the late 60's as is the instrument itself. I was kid back then, playing on the floor of my parents living room. But already picking up vibes from the music of the era, vibes from the Vietnam war, vibes from the (unobtainable) Jet Set crowd, miniskirts, Polaroid Swinger cameras, Yellowbird flights on wisperjets to Florida, Pot, lava lamps, psychedelics, bell bottom jeans, black lights, Woodstock.

[@misterbrands2287]

Algorithm recommended this one at this time... Couldn't be more relevant and anxiety inducing. Fantastic music as usual Steven, thank you.

[@pattychaney3078]

Can’t remember where I’ve heard this song. Steven you’re a musical genius.

[@powerslaveraimon]

The first time I heard this song, 10 years ago, I was on a bus, traveling at night, I was almost falling asleep with this song.... And then, with one foot in the realm of dreams, I hear the speech about the planet earth coming to the end. I was really terrified because I thought that was on m head!!! Then I woke up and I listened the song again with great relief. Then I searched the lyrics and I was terrified again with the history behind the speech.... What a beautiful song. I love it. Thanks for bringing it again Mr. Wilson!

[@marloc2019]

This version is astoundingly eerie and poetic at the same time. Love it...

[@Jayaregularidiot]

Is it out of sync or is my phone messed up?

[@aeynosarturii8053]

I love watching Steven in the studio, just him jamming out great tunes. He makes it look so organic and natural to play such fantastic music. This is better than any music video because it seems like a personal performance for a fly on the wall, just Steven doing what Steven does and we get a view into his world.

[@deadweight6090]

I discovered SW about a year ago.Dont ask where ive been but behide the times.Anyway,i indulged in all his works and i have built his whole catalog on vinly and cds.SW if you by any chance read this comment u my friend are a speical breed.Thank you for filling my ears with joy.Peace!

[@matthewjay2680]

...and he even pulls out the Mellotron 🎹Bravo, Mr. Wilson; bar none one of my favorite tunes of yours, especially the Winding Shot first part (I keep hearing Richard’s live part while the acoustic guitar does the pre-verse solo)🙏

[@britCpower]

Good rendition . It just needed the awesome guitar solo as icing on the cake. The Nearfest 2001 rendition of this track is still the best, You can dream and drowse while i look down your blouse

[@tommoger]

100% that solo is killer!

[@inkinblue]

Dark Matter acoustic version would be great.

[@memopinzon]

I love this song! Great addition of electronics on the 2nd half!

Miss PT so very much but good to see Steven finally alluding to the briliance that has gone before . More please and preferably with the entire crew. Finally, wouldn't an official release of the 2001 Nearfest double be amazing and rediculously overdue.

[@NFS9530]

Ah, this takes me back. Such a nice tune! Extremely sad to hear about the tour cancellation. Hopefully, things change for the better soon

[@Forest_Fifer]

@J Jackson he said in the press release that hes going to be releasing another 2 albums over the next 2 years.

[@ab.8510]

I think this is the song I have played the most on an acoustic guitar, ever. I play my own version of it so often, that sometimes I forget I didn't write it... bugger!

Very good. Two parts: One intimate, personal, confessional and the other historical, global, dramatic, with that deep voice of Marshall Herff Applewhite, founder of the Heaven's Gate sect, who led the famous collective suicide in 1997. I liked it a lot.
