PORCUPINE TREE - BUYING NEW SOUL (HD)

[@SystemOfATool]

Legend says that the bassist fell into a river of happiness as a child

[@Erectoralporicy]

System of a Tool too accurate. Edwin always looks like he's having the time of his life.

[@MrSoundJUNKIE]

and some say he's still happy to this day, rumor has it.

[@nhh12345]

Jealous

[@88omair]

I envy that

[@jannormann5441]

with Gavin Harrison on drums one have to get happy. He just have such a ggod sounding kit.

[@virtueorvice]

2024 and the 400th comment. 10+ years listening to this song and still it makes sense

[@TheDonutAddict]

that bassist must be the loveliest musician ever! I love how he smiles every time he plays music. A true passionate bard, I'm telling you! :)

That's the awesome Colin Edwin ! Believe it or not, I have a friend that looks just like him, even his wife was amazed ! He has got to be the coolest bassist ever!

[@ianlewis1936]

+TheDonutAddict Colin's always so in the zone. Even when they're going hard, he still has his eyes closed and a smile. He leaves reality and enters a whole other plane of prog :^D

[@manuraghuvanshi2022]

I always think that he is high as a kite :P

[@charlesbritzman501]

The gentle keyboard intro to this song should be looped so you can headphone it while looking out into a snow covered full moon night at 10,000 ft.

[@_ashutosh_gautam]

Colin Edwin should be back with Porcupine Tree. They can’t just simply say that there’s no place/role for you before the reunion.

[@johnstatham6864]

Agree completely, the reunion concert at Wembley was great but it lost a bit of soul without Colin’s playing

[@patthewoodboy]

@@johnstatham6864 it was his choice

[@Gedsparrow81]

The intro is just out of this world. One of their best songs for sure.

[@greenman-3332]

Totally agree, one of the best intros of all time and specifically this version.

[@huffpappy]

I think it is one of the most beautiful little melodies I've ever heard.

[@itsinthegamedude1228]

I have not seen this level of sound synchronisation in my 60 years of listening. Oh my god ! This band.

[@huffpappy]

Yep. I sure wish they'd get back together...pure magic. At least they put out a lot of albums.

[@Obi-JohnKenobi.]

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes there’s line-ups that are just flawless. This era of Porcupine Tree is one of them. Right down to the little things like just how well Wesley’s voice compliments Wilson’s.

[@lucyiliffe1799]

I love the way that they all watch and wait during the intro, and Steven's acknowledgement is lovely.

[@mrdan5943]

Collin is the most chilled musician I've ever seen. Always smiling and playing with his eyes closed.

[@tiago_avieira]

If there's one song I don't get tired of listening to, it's this one. Everything perfect, melody, lyrics, arrangement. This texture that Richard makes with his keyboards is beautiful.

[@5micky2]

Prasanna Dahal The sperm ride was exhilarating

[@marketmogul]

The intro connects me to the time when I was still stardust.

[@SwayTree]

People used to think that if you take a photograph of someone it captures their soul. And whenever I watch this concert I feel like it's kinda true. It's beed 17 years but I can feel like this is a small snippet of someone's life. The band, the audience. They are all in different places now but this recording somehow made this moment immortal. It's like it was stopped in time forever.

[@Sk1pperCS]

Yeah I think this captures it perfectly. It really is such a beautiful moment.

[@RobeePlays]

lovely way to describe it!

[@nylfgaard]

I can’t believe I listened to this for years and this the first time I press like...

[@nisrineej-jorfi]

22 avril 2021 ❤

[@DerBomster]

It''s weird. I always loved Buying New Soul, but since it was 'only' on Recordings instead of one of the 'big' albums, I regarded it as something of a second-tier song. But *this* of all songs was the one that made me go misty-eyed when they played it in concert during the recent 2022 tour. So good!

[@prog_post_rock]

I'm 23 and have been listening to Porcupine Tree for almost a year now and they never cease to amaze me. They're dynamic in just the right amount, they sound great in concert and their music is so diverse. It's one of those bands that have a magical touch to them.

[@jyotirmoytalukdar5108]

I thank the almighty for bringing me in the era of PT...

[@xenoskasagara3060]

Never expected them to play this in Milwaukee on their C/C tour. I was blessed, amazed, and in awe.

[@SamperorTV]

I've always loved the way the keyboard is reflecing through Richard's shades.

[@ishminsingh]

The intro is so beautiful, it makes me wanna cry. The guitar solo isn't too far behind as well.

[@Elliebellebama]

+Ishmin Singh Me too, I cry when I listen to a lot of PPT songs, oddly enough the harder rocking ones. I cry when I listen to a lot of Zeppelin :)

[@ishminsingh]

+Ellen Cox Yeah Led Zep are true masters of their art! For me Radiohead and PT are real tear jerkers. :)

[@Elliebellebama]

Oh yea, Radiohead is so emotional I can't even listen to it when I am in certain moods! Nice to meet a likeminded music lover :)

[@anujmchitale]

The following order, IMO for a teary breakdown- 1. Drown with me 2. I fail 3. Drawing the line 4. I drive the hearse 5. Collapse the light into earth 6. Buying new soul 7. How is your life today? 8. She's moved on 9. Arriving somewhere but not here 10. Fell so low

[@XiyuYang]

Can't believe you didn't mention Russian on Ice.

[@terramarte3055]

en mi opinión Steven Wilson es el mejor músico de la historia. Si hubiera hecho su carrera en los años 70, seria reconocido como tal

[@rankest2390]

[@Elliebellebama]

+Raul Drummer I hope I am listening to them when leave this earth and hear them when I enter Heaven!

[@rankest2390]

I hope that too my friend, it's the perfect antidote to my soul :)

[@neilloychakravarty6737]

The people who have disliked this song have no soul.

[@alonespirit_1Q84]

Or Perhaps, On the contrary, they are the ones who felt related the most with every lines, so they just couldn't handle the hatred within. I wonder, if it is some kind of dualistic contradiction, for that we always get an elusive misunderstanding from without.

[@VigneshManavalan94]

Dried up, a guitar upon my knee I should have sold out when the devil came for me Dig a hole and throw it out to sea Break the code, how happy I could be I still wave at the dots on the shore And I still beat my head against the wall I still rage and wage my little war I'm a shade and easy to ignore White wall, I had to paint a door I always find that I've been through it before Close it up and throw away the key Break the code, how happy I could be I woke up and I had a big idea To buy a new soul at the start of every year I paid up and it cost me pretty dear Here's a hymn to those that disappear

[@anurag750]

I remember the lyrics being this but couldn't find the reason why Steven chose to sing "Washed up..." instead of "Dried up...". (See 2:22 for reference)

[@scottwalton892]

lol. Thanks for the lyrics. Always thought Steven was singing wave at the ducks on the shore.

[@TolgaHanKayaTR8R]

5:05 This keyboard solo is amazing . What a creative sound by Barbieri

[@jaythurstans3140]

Still one of my favourite Porcupine Tree tracks. How it never made it onto a main album still baffles me.

[@LilacUnderworld]

Gosh! The arrangement of this song is just mesmerising, it's one of my favourite songs of all time and this live version is phenomenal! Thank you for capturing this so beautifully!

[@chartomosfil1278]

Why Barbieri is so fucking amazing at making those noises?

[@fleskip]

He is most likely the main reason why I prefer PT over SW's solo-stuff. And Gavin and Colin ofcourse.

That piano outro is so hauntingly beautiful...somehow touches some long lost thing of past .

[@MichelLabaki]

these people are divine, divinity throught notes and and feelings, a new school of progressive music

[@MartijnMartens]

One of the best PT songs ever ! Together with "Even Less" that can both be found on the RECORDINGS album. Actually the original RECORDINGS album was limited to 20,000 CD's and, believe it or not, composed out of B-side material that didn't make it on to the STUPID DREAM or LIGHTBULB SUN albums. I do agree that some of PT's B-sides, EP's and rarities are also some of the best songs they have ever made. Fortunately RECORDINGS is now available again in a nice digibook format again ;)

[@fuffi3076]

It‘s one of my favourite Songs

[@spandanhetfield]

This is how I would describe what I feel when I hear the intro - And my beating heart keeps racing on, fighting hard something it cannot see Fighting desperate, desperate to break free Not knowing where it wants to reach but to break free from these shackles that don't breach. So, close your eyes, and you will see It is you yourself, your own adversary And in that one moment nothing else remains, You can see them clear, those invisible chains. So hit hard, but still hit calm For that is the only way to do most harm Reach out, and grab what's yours to take You're perfectly composed, even with everything on the stake

[@TravisBrotha]

This song pierces my heart every time I listen to it. It's like something supernatural speaking directly to my soul. Awesome Porcupine Tree.

[@Prizzy999]

Wesley playing from 5:42 to 6:06 has a Paradise Lost vibe in it, and in fact reminds me of one of Greg Mackintosh's sublime solos. Great, great stuff. This song is wonderful but then again it's hard to find a bad song in PT's catalogue.

[@huffpappy]

This is one of my favorite PT songs. I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it. The melody at the beginning is particularly beautiful and haunting.

[@allglaringsunsetsinyou]

Beautiful......., and voice😌

[@SanketDhume]

This song is all sorts of feels. It's hard to imagine another song even from the PT catalog that inspires this level of emotion. The musicianship as always is unparalleled but damn that atmosphere set by Barbieri from 00:01 right to the last note! Special shoutout to John Wesley's solo - possibly one of the most underrated solos from the PT catalog again but SO damn powerful!

[@samueledangelo6163]

Totally agree, I think it suits every musician today. Unfortunately music is dying (at least, the one made with instruments). For example here in Italy even after posting several announcements I could not find 3/4 other guys who wanted to play with me, simply because (at least here) no one studies music anymore, they all go singing their trap songs with stupid lyrics (Italian ones are really ugly, just read the translation of any song by sfera ebbasta which is a popular trapper here in Italy). I mean, I respect every kind of music but I'm so sad that genders such as prog, metal or rock are disappearing. My dream was to form a Porcupine tree cover band and I never could...

@@samueledangelo6163 I couldn't help but bring up the name of another band that I adore: Poets of the Fall..ur username suddenly put it into my thought. They r one of the few English-language bands I listen to at all the times; very unknown but incredibly talented group of musicians much like PT. Their music is very diverse from album to album and they're mainly Alt rock based hence huge difference in the kind of music b/w them and PT. But the similarity is that unlike many other bands/projects of modern times, they really put their efforts, time, mind and soul into the music they create. Maybe it's bcs I'm a bit biased towards them but I think the lyrics of their songs are among the best in recent times and the lead vocal Marko's voice is almost that of an Angel! Sorry for the rant!
