I thought 'Don't Dream it's Over' was dull, too. And now I think the Finn brothers are incredible...but it took some time to get there!
Very sweet and thougtful comment, "Kitty". I guess it happens to everybody - me certainly too! "Porcupine Tree" is one example. |

I was making a simple comment that I don't care for Don't Dream it's Over, and that because of that I missed out on a lot of other great stuff. You chose to devolve the issue into an attack on me.
I don't attack people for their opinions, even if they are idiots. Everyone is entitled to their own and to post them to this forum. That's why it's here. However, I will attack people based on how they choose to express themselves. Clearly, you chose to express yourself like a spoiled little girl with a diaper full of shit and deserve to be treated as such.
It's people like this that make me wonder if the Internet will be the downfall of humanity. It allows way too much freedom to act like an ass with no consequences.

Looking back - this track was significant for me going through a messy divorce. One of those instances when a tune can bring to the front the feelings one had at the time.

"Uninspired and simple" is really suuuch an abuse. Don't be such a Fred, Riley and blow things completely out of proportion! Who takes "Four seasons in one day" as NEW WAVE is worth a statement! Stop putting gasoline into a fire that is not yet burning! |

I had the pleasure of hearing them do this song live. They really put on a great show and I hadn't heard this song until that concert. Have been a fan ever since.  |

I saw them in Wembley Arena years ago and they pulled a guy up from the crowd and let him pick this out on Neil's guitar. It was awesome.

Music therapy is my kind of medicine too. Heal and be well  Exene wrote:I so needed to hear this tonight, thank you. I feel like I have been through the wringer and had all four seasons and then some just in the course of the day. Why? Because I did risk my neck again. Fell for someone I shouldn't have. Thank God for music - nothing heals quite like it.
