In Steven Wilson's own words: “The song is based on a story but one that wasn’t mine; it was suggested to me by the guy [Hajo Mueller] who was illustrating, doing the artwork and the book. The idea is about a couple driving along in a car at night, very much in love; the guy is driving, and his partner - his wife or girlfriend or whoever she is - is in the passenger seat, and the next minute she’s gone. “The guy is crazy: What happened? Where did she go? He does all the obvious things: looks under the seats, stops and checks the road, all of that. The song is basically about missing time; it’s the idea of blocking out time because of something so traumatic that you literally remove it from your mind. “The story ultimately winds up with the ghost of the partner coming back, years later, and saying, ‘I’m going to remind you now what happened that night.’ There was a terrible car accident, and she died, etcetera, etcetera - again, the idea of trauma leading to a missing part of this guy’s life. He can’t deal with the reality of what happened, so he blocks it out - like taking a piece of tape and editing a big chunk out of it. It’s a sad, very beautiful song about loss. “It has an extraordinary guitar solo. Guthrie’s playing is just sublime. That, for me, is the memory of this song. I had done a solo on the demo, knowing that I wanted an anthemic, epic solo at the end. In the studio, we did four or five takes, and each time Guthrie would reinvent the idea of what the solo could be. “The particular solo we chose was either the first or the second one. It was so inspired and had such a beautiful sense of logic and storytelling to it. It’s one take, unedited, and it’s just unbelievably brilliant. And it’s improvised - he didn’t plan anything. It was such a moving experience to hear him play it. I was almost in tears."

This song resonates very much with me, as me and my girlfriend had a terrible car accident last year. A drunk and high driver lost control of her car and hit us head-on. Knocked our car straight on the sidewalk, it was unrecognizable after. We both fainted, and woke up later with the glass from the windshields in our mouths. Fortunately, we got out (or maybe they pulled us out, we don't remember) and people helped us out. We were in the hospital for a few days, and luckily walked off only with a concussion, a broken wrist on my part, and various bruises for both of us. But I remember breaking down crying when my gf lamented a weird pain in her stomach on the drive in the ambulance. I begged the paramedics to look after her and forget about me, I was convinved I was going to lose her. Thank God it all worked out. :)

[@RyanxDunn]

Well, he did fill out the Royal Albert Hall and his album To the Bone did really well (I think it was topping some chart for number 1 spot). He's made a good enough success from his music for it to be worth his while and for him to be remembered by the prog fans. So it's not like he's really not recognized, but I understand what you're getting at. I'd think that this is actually better for him, as the life that comes with the huge fame of big pop stars is usually a destructive and uncomfortable one. He's probably way more comfortable in his current lifestyle.

[@Thomas_Gachod]

+Joseph Bennett Well you can clearly hear Guthrie's style of soloing ! Being a big fan of Guthrie, I know this is improvised, he never plays the same solo twice ;)

[@XiyuYang]

Joseph Bennett No I'm not, read it here, www.themonolith.com/music/music-video-steven-wilson-make-the-drive-home/ However, I don't think SW mentioned that the guitar solo on Regret #9 is improvised. Guthrie did say that he borrowed an American Deluxe Strat for that solo, it might be improvised, it might not. No need for the sarcasm pal. I know SW rarely improvises anything in PT, No-Man, Bass Communion, Blackfield, I.E.M. or Storm Corrosion. I can tell that almost nothing in all these projects are improvised. However, he is very open to improvisation in most of his solo works, perhaps excluding Insurgentes.

I’ve never heard of either this artist or this song before but am speechless at how beautiful it is along with the video. Just everything about it is so hypnotically beautiful. My life has just become richer x

[@saturnineNL]

enjoy listening to the rest. :) he has a long list of great songs.

[@sodatta11]

Notice how well the solo travels from the feeling of heartbreak/separation, to struggle and finally to recovery. Any person who has gone through the devastation of loss can relate to every bit of that solo.. Guthrie and Steven are two gems of this world.. They can speak in a language beyond the bounds of speech.

[@notan23]

This is the greatest solo of all time.

[@makargue282]

I had a best friend. This was our "song" i guess and he died a few years ago. I still cry everytime i hear it

[@thelordphenom9676]

Sorry to hear that.

[@BLEND065]

sorry for your lose 💔

[@eyalsagie2828]

This is one of the most beautiful songs i'd ever heard in my life. Guthrie govan's guitar solo is out of this world❤️

[@aksdal11]

I lost my best friend in a car accident and this song is like the most emotional piece of music in the world to me. Got me through some really heavy stuff and still makes me cry like a baby every time!

[@glennmcgeoch6648]

You should listen to his song "Routine" as well. Similar storyline, will also bring you to tears. It does it to me every time.

[@akl935]

[@NICO-ps5mq]

Having a good day. Guthrie: Imma make you cry

[@RyanxDunn]

With the video while he's playing, it's quite emotional, and I'm not one to get emotional easily from music even though I am a passionate musician myself. The whole song and video put together are where this song really shines and delivers it's true impact in my opinion.

[@arghyadas2447]

@@RyanxDunn yeah! Rarely noticed but broadly enjoyed thing is the song is incomplete without this awsome animation. Hat's off to him whoever made this. And nothing to say about the next level lyrics and music of course.

[@rayhoodoo847]

Oh my god, how comes I found this just now (by reading an article that he did this solo in one take)? This is incredible!

One take, no rehearsal, on a guitar that wasn't his, that had been delivered to the studio for Steven that morning. And that is just one reason (of many) why he is the greatest living guitarist on the planet today.

god damn you steven wilson, why can't you stop making good music

he just did...

Gunnar Nah, he didn't

kalkwiese after hearing the full album you're right. Its growing on me.

That solo makes me cry like a baby. Every time.

[@warpspeed9877]

This solo is so good that comes at a close #2 after Buck Dharma's one in "The last days of May" played in the BOC live album "On your feet or on your knees". And that is the best compliment i can give.

I could watch this every day. Also what a unique and heart wrenching solo

Is there anything Steven Wilson can't do? Yeah, he can't write a bad song. This lad is just from another whole level.

[@a.g.3737]

This always makes me cry. Always , anytime of the day. The accident is a reality of so many people which feels so unreal in the coping stage , it is so difficult to watch as if the heart will come out of the mouth. The guitar cried in the solo, and it made us all weep. Thank you steven , guthrie, for this masterpiece.

[@ambarchik]

When will people stop comparing? This whole song is a masterpiece all by itself..

[@Peanuts76]

true....

[@fbt25]

The only thing I could compare in this video is the main character with Stewie.

[@denerstakflerdt526]

People are very impressed with the guitar solo; it's exceptional, a fact, but what really stands out is the theatrical context, the construction of the drama, the emptiness and hopelessness as protagonists, it's as if we invited guilt, pain, sadness and perplexity for not accepting the facts , all contained in musical notes that express sensations that many do not like to face, but that are always present, sometimes more intense, sometimes more subtle, and only the very sensitive can capture the waves of multi-feelings that gather within a human being. this is the great force in Steven Wilson's musicality; this one, a troubadour of tragedies and the wizard Guthrie Govan honoring primacy over speed; tearing souls into deep immersion; to say: A masterful solo, sovereign, detached from everything that has been heard in the current moment in the history of the guitar. Congratulations from an unconditional admirer of the colossal work proposed by a group of geniuses united by the love of music built on the flames of excellence.

[@christoffernerheimwith1692]

Just my subjective opinion: i have heard "all the greatest solos", the list is endless of wonderful solos. But this is THE greatest i have ever heard! Guthrie is really a sensational musician

[@jfcarpio]

Best guitar solo of the last 15 years on Planet Earth. Such a touching song. It moves you so deeply.

[@shredseeker8420]

This song was on repeat for one whole week on my EarPods while skiing in France 5 years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song so much at a stretch without getting fed up.

[@eee12356]

I am sitting here, an 11 yr old kid, that knows this artist from her older sister. And to this 11 old girl, Steven Wilson was her nostalgia, and even though she has problems with her memory, she remembers the summer where everything was great and she feels like she wishes nothing changed. I tried to be as honest as I can be about my nostalgia... Thank you for you time. 💎❤🥺

[@jameskowalkowski2308]

The world is really beautiful = this kind of music proves it. Cool.

[@noctilux7799]

One of the finest songs from this planet. The solo from Guthrie is from another planet.

[@michaelboggus9993]

So I just saw an interview with Steven that he did with Rick Beato where he said that as soon as they began to track the solo the E String popped out of the saddle so Guthrie had to play that entire solo without the E string. Steven decided that was the keeper. " Limitation is the mother of invention"

[@markobarrows4304]

Steven Wilson plumbs the depths with such musical elegance it unnerves you, but in the best way.

[@migueld.2628]

[@FlavorfulFeral]

My love died on his drive home. Thank you for the most deeply emotional piece I have heard since then, Steven Wilson. This helps me endure it.

[@r3ality1]

I can't watch this video without sobbing. The entire presentation, and Govan's solo at the end, is just too much. It is an amazing, moving, work of art, and will always be one of my favorites. I should also add that this, and "Routine", just bury me.... in a very, very good way. My god... if you want a good sob, "Routine" will get you there. Both songs are amazing, but the videos are so far above the norm... for those who know... I don't have to say any more.

[@TheClyde-v3f]

Steven sure knows how to tug at your heart-strings doesn't he? He's a genius if there ever was one.

[@wildanimus2559]

Is feeling it better or worse than disassociation?

[@resonator23]

Routine had this 55 year old man crying like a baby 😢

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

The whole song is incredibly touching and emotional, but damn that solo by Guthrie...It's just heart wrenching. Like a desperate cry. Sounded so human, it's eerie.

[@ArnavKumarAgrawal]

You know whats amazing with the Steven and porcupine tree? They compose deep music. Their music always has a lot of meaning attached to it. You guys are the ones who I personally think represent the artists of this century. Steven please come to India!!!

[@adam872]

Oh man, that solo. Guthrie is something else. So much emotion in that playing, it's perfect in the context of the song.

[@Shadowvesselsprod.]

I used to just listen to this track either on youtube or spotify. Today it was playing on youtube. I never really thought noticing the animation video. Today I did. Ended up crying.

[@alexandreguerreiro8377]

One of the best songs that I ever heard. The guitar solo is something outstanding!

I cried. So much. I would say 'the feels' but it doesn't come close to describe the emotions of pain and happiness I just felt simultaneously. Fucking well done Steven Wilson. You are incredible

[@IrateWizrd]

[@ludwigvannier645]

Nothing to add, nothing to remove. Just open your heart and let it touch you. Deeply. Thank you Steven.

[@mconnolly787]

In these days where music has become so disposable to have an artist like Steven Wilson is a real blessing. His music always takes me to a different place and the songs are thought provoking and emotive. He is a shining light amongst the never ending production line of bands with no musical identity or integrity.

[@eeby7]

Jess Cope deserves a mention me thinks!

[@Milindo]

Oh my God, Guthrie Govan, what have you done? This solo is the best I have heard in decades, just perfect. Wow.
