The Contortionist - The Source (Rediscovered)

[@progressivegeoff]

One of the best live sessions of our time.

[@alanbutler5210]

The awesomeness of Mike's vocals and the band playing their respective instruments in this version of the song is what makes them them. They could "sit down and jam" and we should all be so lucky to hear the 45 mins-ish of that magical time, just sayin.

[@elioe.7]

That's exactly how I felt when I got to see them live last year, especially during the source. Lucky. Their music is cathartic in an an ancient way, what a time to be alive 💥

[@alanbutler5210]

The precision of their musicianship never ceases to utterly amaze me, think of all the elements that are required to combine the shear beauty of this and all their songs, just sayin..

[@mistersmith489]

I haven't been this moved by a song in a long time. If anybody from the band ever sees this, I want to thank you sincerely for creating such a beautiful and timeless song.

[@rafarigo317]

[@mikeg3439]

Finally, a band for people who are fans of Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, and want to just cut to the chase and hear all three blended into one. Seriously love finding these guys, great stuff.

[@SadracChinchilla]

I feel glad I just discovered this band recently. Incredible sound.

[@David-rj1ru]

Get wrecked bunky. are stizyniznoked about it.

[@skydwellingmusic]

I just (Rediscovered) them

[@Ryo7_7]

Sadrac Chinchilla Yea they've grown a lot from the prior singer/synth. Musicianship on another level.

[@mikejones1298]

@@Ryo7_7 They've changed for sure. Language is amazing. Clairvoyant is great too but exoplanet blows it out the water.

[@keithgabbard4816]

Saw these guys twice now and I must say that not only do they possess skill and talent but from the perspective of an audience member they are very nice . They come off like just normal every day dudes and not shitty rock stars at all .

[@flesruoYkcuFoGuoY]

I got to meet them all once, they're all really sweet. Very down-to-earth people.

[@AlexSaints-t2k]

I have never been this calm in my entire life.

[@Mackenzieadventures1]

Love is all we need. Indeed.

[@RyanCmetal]

what a wonderful and peaceful world we could all live in if people could only realize Love is the only thing that will bring us together

[@superanimenerd13]

I've got the vinyl for this baby and every time this song comes on it's like a calm wave that washes over me introducing me to the rediscovered tracks. Language means so much to me and the rediscovered tracks are all of that meaning distilled into the tracks. I love the calm, airiness of this track in particular. The Source regular is great as an opener to the album and it feels very big despite also being one of the softer tracks. What the rediscovered version lacks in scale, it makes up for with a Debussy like endless quality. The guitars all linger with light notes and extended distorted tones, the fUCKING KEYS have a brilliant and bright echo that never fully stops. Even as the song comes to a close they're the last thing you hear. I see people say they weren't ready for the song to be over when it ended and I get the same feeling every time I listen. Like it could just go on forever and ever and I'd be okay to just drift.

[@devinkymer8071]

How did you get the rediscovered vinyl??

[@jordane8610]

I agree 100%...the rediscovered tracks truly move me and take me to a place of peace. The most underrated prog band on the planet. Everyone of these guys r excellent and this band will only get better, as they've proven already, n my opinion

[@kaziqta5053]

That song makes me cry... every time and if feels wonderful.

I love the fuck out of clairvoyant, although i wish Mike would have done some vocals in the range of 5:12. He'll probably do some of that live though, I hope.

[@SuperChronic18]

By the amount of times I seen them live, he usually does hit his notes. Never disappoints, this band.

[@Resurrected9]

Nelson Koop I know this kinda a year late but he did that type of vocals on Godspeed, Monochrome (Pensive)

[@ryanc128]

can someone tell me the meaning behind this song?

[@Efbeeiii]

It's called the Source because in esoteric and occult and new age philosophy, the phrase refers to what other people know to be God. Essentially the Source of all Things. Love is the highest frequency and emotional state in the universe and that old cliche adage "love makes the world go round" is in fact an ancient idea. Literally all we need is love in our lives to transcend and live more richer lives. Not romantic love necessarily but love in general.
