I'd give this a 10+ if I could, such a powerful song.

I really like the sound these guys produce. The lyrics to this one however... don't quite do it for me.
still a solid 7. especially the end

GREAT!! Pearl Jam is not really my cup of tea, but Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree are! And in a way PT sometimes reminds me of PF... |

Wow, we were just talking about this on that other Pink Floyd thread! What a coincidence.  |

Well, let's take a look at the lyrics and decide...
This means out
This is your way out
Do or drown
Do or drown in torpor
Leave no trace
All my files erased
Burn my clothes
Burn my Prada trainers
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's leave forever
This is fate
This is your escape
Leave here now
Leave here like it's over
Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's leave forever
Sounds like a suicide pact to me- I'm thinking a Heaven's Gate cult suicide pact reference here. Great song, btw.
..i dunno..could also read it as escaping consumerism (Prada) & contemp society/standard expectations (off the grid/"all my files erased")..
..the sleeping together is just another form of escape..living in that sexual moment away..
..just a thought..prolly off base.. |

Another example of, erm, 'linguistic diversity' either side of the Pond. Over this Eastern side, the verb "to toss" has a rather different colloquial meaning from that which you mean :o) |

Sadly I can neither vote this up to 11 nor turn it up to 11. I'll just sit here quietly and love it as the 10 it is.

An amazing band. I saw them live, twice last year, and they are every bit as precise. True professionals.

That's the real test.  At least it doesn't make me want to toss like the "In Absentia" cover.  Actually, I notice a lot of Porcupine Tree's album covers are creepy - Darkwing, The Incident, even the room on the "Signify" cover looks like an abandoned (haunted?) house. |

This so god damn good. I'm longtime fan of PT and always find something new in their music with every listen. Good to see that they have made a big impression on the other side of the Atlantic.
I've met Steven a few times (i'm good friends with the guy who does his artwork) and he always has fresh ideas into which to take his music either with PT, solo or other collaborations.
I have made a compilation CD with alternating PT and Radiohead (album tracks only) and they go well together.

I say G0d Damn, that is one hell of a song. I always thought this song sounded like it could have had John Paul Jones on keyboards. I think the ending keyboard solo reminds me of some of the JPJ's stuff on his solo album Zooma.

This song is reminding me of those 90's Industrial rock bands — ala Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, NIN etc etc. And that is a good thing, I liked that music back in the day, and nice to hear now & again.
