Steven Wilson - Refuge (Lyric Video)

Lyric video by Lasse Hoile.
Inspired by the plight of Syrian refugees, “Refuge” builds from the hushed beauty and pathos of the song section to an instrumental apex in which Paul Stacey​’s guitar, Mark Feltham’s harmonica and Steven Wilson​’s synth solo unite in epic glory, before dropping back down to a haunting aftermath. "Refuge" is a powerfully intense and cinematic highlight from the forthcoming album To the Bone.

The point where the harmonica solo blends into the guitar is terrific.

[@suesutton9226]

I just found him recently- his solo stuff - it's out of this world insanely awesome - 1st found him.a few months back in Porcupine tree then recently Blacklane ( I recognized both his vocals and his style ) then was delighted to discovered it was him - This man is so darn talented , I am lost for words ....💙

[@PTCrucial]

Ivan you are 100% correct. this guy is just something else. He’s just a genius and makes our lives more fulfilled. He simply cannot make bad music. take care..and carry on enjoying Steven Wilson.

[@rodrigo_zarraga]

"My dear wife, and my children of God the borders where already drawn for us" I don't know how Steven can sing those lyrics without cry... Too much feelings, it breaks me

Not only the line, but the delivery and those tribal-ish drums kicking in. Having goosebumps when THINKING abot it. Check out the Live-version on Home Invasion. It doubles down the Intensity, at least.

Really Steven Wilson is the most underrated musical genius.Every other great band or musician have a signature musical style and sense.But Wilson Sir took it to another level.Every song is different.Especially this new album.Full experimentation and expression.Can be regarded as the one of the greatest diversive album of the musical world.

Rym Baccara the kids are praising Hafez Assad (Bashar's dad and the original dictator) as the symbol of Arabs revolution (against imperialism), it is something we had to say as kids in schools in the 80s and 90s. I am not sure why SW included it here. For those interested and/or speak Arabic, the exact words are: حافظ اسد، رمز الثورة العربية

[@MoeFateh]

Eyad Said I think I'm hearing something different here. Mostly about Gaza (Palestine) and not Syria. But maybe I'm wrong. Because to me it sound like he's saying "غزه تبقى أمه عربيه حره" which I'm not able to give an exact translation in English.

[@cathode5115]

anish sengupta well i would also prefer to have another prog rock album but i dont get why you have to hate.

[@boilk]

Most people who like progressive music, aren't crazy about pop. Simple as that. I like complex, absorbing music, that takes me on a winding twisting adventure. A sonic journey. This is not doing that, for me. at least. I certainly have no hate at all. SW has given me over two decades of awesome music, and owes me nothing. I truly hope this release does well, and am happy that he is following his muse.

[@adjentb]

I am not hating...🙄. I just don't like to label myself with a particular genre...I like music in general. If I start to hate any particular genre then I am missing out a huge amount of music. And that's a huge loss for me. It's my opinion.

[@abhigyanchatterjee]

Cant thank Mr. Wilson enough to create one masterpiece after another. I will take his tunes to my grave. Living is such a pleasure with such songs

[@Sofiaamariia]

All in this song (lyrics, images and the name) remember me an interview where Steven says that he "sacrificed" family for music. I feel this song very personal, and for me is the key to understand new directions and experiments is his music. It's all about music!! try new things, sounds, ways to do. Make music requires conviction, commitment and new ideas to contribute.

[@rajatlpgd]

Real worth of an artist is known only when they are gone. Don't criticize Steven like people did to Chester Bennington and Linkinpark. They are artists and are free to express their music in which ever type of sound they want. Steven Wilson, no doubt, has given us the best music possible and he'll keep doing that till the music he writes comes from his heart (and I am sure he's not a person who will stop listening to his heart no matter what).

[@realmusic9777]

One of the greatest songs I've heard in a long time.If I had any talent, I would of wrote something like this. I think it's beautiful.

My God, Steven . . . . . . . . . what a climb. The ascent of your heart, upon a mountain of refuge. (I've been in the music biz for Decades. Without doubt, that was The best "harmonica" solo I have EVER experienced. The bar has been reset. I just heard . . . a harmonica cry.) I must go now. A part of me just escaped. I need to find my breath.

This is spectacular! This one is definitely my favorite from this album so far. That harmonica and guitar part starting at about 3 min 15 sec is incredible. This still fits that whole 70s/80s tribute thing but also sounds more like his usual stuff. I can't wait to hear the rest. Only 15 days! 🙂

Amazing guitar solo!

[@sideshowlol]

On first listening, I like this better than I liked the first listenings of the other pre-releases from TTB, although Ninet's vocal on Pariah gave me the biggest spine-tingling moment. So far, although I like this project less than his last, I still find it interesting and it will, no doubt, get under my skin to some degree. It seems to me that artists who go off on tangents often return to their roots and then bring something extra with them when they do. SW has a head full of music and sounds that have yet to be realised. I will continue to support him and other musicians like him who dare to do something different. I just hope he can maintain his frenetic creative pace for as long as possible. Who knows, maybe this album will get SW some well-deserved air-play. Come on Jules Holland! Do all lovers of creative music a favour and get this guy on your BBC TV show! I've been waiting for years.

[@martyfreesabbath1538]

So far everything I've heard from Steven Wilson including every music band that he was/is part of in is smashing... It seems like he never gets tired of doing type of music he loves... he is not appreciated enough, his music work is subtle and still well balanced, his experience suggests that the quality won't come down, cosmic music he creates will persevere
