[@SparcReviews]

This song NEEDS an official music video

[@SinkMan434]

Yeh you’re right

[@POLOCO93]

Yo, there is one fan made video with the takes of interstellar movie, shit is so fucking dope

[@DeppyChanyster]

finally, playing higher

[@umyes5246]

This song has grown on me. Their next album is going to be a worldwide success 👍

[@flavioanguiano8461]

this whole album is amazing. it was such a fresh breath of air from Ilejay's drumwork. hail to the king had great potential but the drums were so weak it just didnt real like a true a7x album. wish theyd remaster hail to the king with brooks writing in the drum parts.

[@scoopskiii]

@@flavioanguiano8461the thing about Aaron’s drumming is it’s not his fault the drums were so simple. The band made him play simple for that album. Aaron is a great drummer with songs like Not ready to die and I believe carry on?

[@Herr_Zeit]

​@@scoopskiiiDid Aaron actually play Not ready to die and Carry on? i had no idea

Best band ever

[@dominicklos9532]

This right here was my first ever concert.... Im so happy this video exists. 11 year old me was the happiest kid that night.

[@Anima.Libera]

Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you, my friend Light years above (Take me higher) Time seems to wait (Take me higher) Promise to see you again (Higher, high) It haunts to remember All the memories of that day Pre-flight demonstration Led to desperate voices fueled by flames Now I'm out here waiting Hoping you would send a sign Came a million miles And the earth grows small as I lovingly leave it behind Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you, my friend We seem to have found it All the hope we've been denied There's more than we've been told Had to find it on the other side Now I must be dreaming Face against the frozen glass But there's no return now And the blazing worlds salute As we go flying past Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you, my friend Light years above (Take me higher) Time seems to wait (Take me higher) Promise to see you again (Higher, high) Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you, my friend Light years above (Take me higher) Time seems to wait (Take me higher) Promise to see you again (Higher, high) Meet you in the stars tonight There you find me drifting in the ether within the lull [x4] 🌌

[@SinkMan434]

I think this song is a tribute to the 3 astronauts (Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee) who died in training from the Apollo 1 fire on January 21st 1967 Rest in peace....

[@hafizjumat]

Rip Jimmy the Rev Sullivan, foREVer in our heart..hearing this song always remind me of him😢

[@jordanduncan8731]

It’s about time!!!! My favorite song on that album. But C’mon Matt!!! Hit those “Higher” notes! 😂

[@markmckinney9821]

He hit the high notes well.

[@SinkMan434]

Haha

[@leemurray9091]

I wish they would play deep cuts off City of Evil and WTF, even if Shadows sung reworked lower melodies or sung parts that were originally screamed, and even if the live guitar parts wouldn't faithfully represent the recording (which on CoE the guitars cannot because there were often 5 going on at once)

[@kolosfarkasvolgyi8208]

Great sound quality, great performance. Thank you for uploading!

[@hazardgaminghg122]

Damn, that ending is pretty cool.

[@HeLLR4iZZeR]

And all the guitarist on the world are stunned now - The Chorus isn't tapped :D

[@R_Guns66]

Hahahaha

[@isaacrumley]

I had a feeling it wasn't!

[@quixutica]

It's still hammer-ons which is half tapping. I think anyone that read the sheet or tabs (or learn by ear) would've instinctively done that since it's not a far distance.

[@bielsynyster4015]

Kkkkkkk também pensei que fosse man kkk

[@joshuav7887]

I see what you did there. I'd imagine he doesn't want to further strain his voice.

Ok, but Jhonny 😯😯😯

[@DonutBalls528]

Not even gonna bother with the high notes😢

[@laurazucchiatti8761]

Probably he was tired, screaming the whole time

[@ExternusArmy]

the dude could barely hit them in the studio, definitely not going for a D5 while on tour

[@NC-cf7kl]

​@ExternusArmy he only got to where he can do high notes again just recently, but he's still struggling. His voice is still really worn out. Its a bit of an improvement, but far from the shadows I knew. People still say he's in his vocal prime and sounds better than ever, I'm like, have you heard any of their material before 2016?

[@SuperSparrow45]

When did Matt join Porcupine Tree?

problem with human… it always wants too much from another human
