This is a really great song from Disc 2 off The Incident.  I had totally forgotten about the second disc after I bought The Incident so it never got any play at first.  I was too busy spinning Disc 1 and loving it.  Then, I heard this song hear at RP a few months back and remembered about the second disc.  I took it out and put it in my car, and discovered all 4 songs on disc 2 are incredible!  As a Tree nut I shouldn't be surprised, right?  It has not left my car, nor will it anytime soon.  It's just like the Nil Recurring EP to me now (another 4 great songs).  If anyone else has overlooked their Incident Disc 2, I strongly recommend you dig it out.  Thanks RP!

To those frying in the heat back east, does this sound just as good?

 
It's almost 7am here, I've been working for an hour already, and I've only had 12 hours of sleep in the last 3 days...  and yes it does.  

I love PT.

Is Steven Wilson performing in Seattle soon?

 

Never did figure out what the lyrics were hinting at.....

 

You have no interest in the past
Where you came from
Where you're going to

There's a cliche in your eye
File the edges down
Soon be underground

There's nothing here for you under the sun
There's nothing new to do, it's all been done
So put your faith in another place
< From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/black-dahlia-lyrics-porcupine-tree.html >

Never seem to get away from this
It's all fallen into an abyss
So put your foot on the pedal boy

All you know is secondhand
Will it pass through
The cage inside you?

You stole the only thing you love
So unfaithful
Drop is fatal

For the life of me I can't figure why this would be rated sucko-barfo. I'm at a loss.

I give this an 8 myself. Music enters all ears differently I guess.

My wife and I hiked down to the Pacific Ocean yesterday.  We ended up in a conversation with a neighbour who had a great patch of Dahlias.  (So do we.)   I noted that the music festival t-shirt and mentioned that my favourite keyboardist had written a song about Dahlias.
