Musicbrainz DBA thousand people yell
They're shouting my name
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die
And a thousand people smile
Are smiling at me
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die
No way to understand
Why I've become the way I am
When the sky is filled with stars
I find the place inside my heart
Some people can take a blow
They won't ever drop
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die
She will tell me she loves me
She won't ever stop
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die
A coldness in my soul
And I reach out for her to hold
And then I watch her close her eyes
It's only me that needs to cry
And if I stay with you
Do you believe that I'll come true?
No way to understand
Why I've become the way I am
When the sky is filled with stars
I find the place inside my heart
And then I watch her close her eyes
It's only me that needs to cry
A thousand people yell
They're shouting my name
But I wanna die in this moment
I wanna die

| davidkilmer | Posted: May 14, 2009 - 18:55 very cool - never heard before, will have to check it out. Reminds me of snow patrol, not instrumentation, but in dynamic. very nice. I never catch lyrics first time around, so if this is a very depressing song, well... i dont catch lyrics the first time around very well :| |

| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Feb 19, 2009 - 16:17 GREAT CD !  |
| bobcat1963 (the netherlands) | Posted: Feb 09, 2009 - 02:33 far too mellow, IMHO  |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Dec 18, 2008 - 08:46 I highly recommend the CD. Light pop tunes with perhaps a broader appeal than Porcupine Tree.
Cruithne3753, fred and other British friends, If I can borrow some jargon from media sociology, you must have gate keepers in the British rock music scene that act as a filter or launching platform for new acts like Porcupine Tree would have been in early 1990s. Who would those be? Is the 'model' intact? Or is the era of digitalized music breaking down traditional patterns of popular music diffusion in Britain?

| anandvvn (India) | Posted: Dec 15, 2008 - 11:07 Earlier I heard this song two or three time, I used to hum few bits of the song, thanks to RP I heard this song again, and this time I got the full lyrics for the song. Very nice song |

I can't see them on Radio 1 now that John Peel's sadly passed on. PT are way, way too sophisto for the clanging dumbed-down McMusic that gets airtime on R1. I gave up listening to that channel ages ago once Peelie died. PT were in session a couple of times on Mark & Lard's evening show back in the mid 90s, about the time they became a full band. More recently, SW was interviewed and a couple of tracks played shortly after the release of Fear of a Blank Planet on Bruce Dickinson's Rock Show on BBC 6 Music. |
| horstman (Syracuse, New York) | Posted: Nov 08, 2008 - 11:20 The album cover art certainly reflects the thoughts of many in Israel, of a landscape that is being shaped by bombs and destabilization. |

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 07:38 That's pretty funny vit. I notice that the DJ cuts off the end of the song. |
| vit | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 07:36 I thought I'd been transported to the future and Porcupine Tree's 65th anniversery album. |
| palad1 (London UK. A froggie in exile.) | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 07:36 Bill, lovely playlist but... Blackfield - 1,000 People Pink Floyd - Mother Gary Jules - Mad World This unit requires The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast by Roger Glover to inject some  into its system! |

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Oct 16, 2008 - 06:55 All this interest in Steven Wilson? I understand that he is interested in getting married and having children. Though given his rather strong work ethic, any future spouse should plan on spending a lot of time alone. |
| mgkiwi (French Alps - rivet rivet) | Posted: Oct 16, 2008 - 06:52 Why for why has this guy (and PT) never made it big in the UK - I hear they had a spot on BBC radio. They need to get on 'Later with Jools Holland' best music show on British TV. |

Just make all your purchases from a click-through on RP ... and they will notice. The side benefit of RP getting a small piece of the purchase is icing. It also helps the industry recognize stations like RP as a NOT the enemy, but an invaluable channel for sell-through. |

Yup, back to noisy chores. |

| philboid | Posted: Aug 03, 2008 - 12:01 Not my favorite Blackfied, but I'm not complaining. |
| thewiseking (New York, New York) | Posted: Jul 10, 2008 - 10:05 morose, monotonous, tedious. i detect a Pink Floyd influence! |

| Deadwing (Cincinnati OH) | Posted: Jun 03, 2008 - 13:35 It's definitely more mellow than PT- a more pop oriented kind of sound. |
| Pyro | Posted: Jun 03, 2008 - 13:18 Is all of this CD fairly mellow? I love PT, but they can get pretty "hard" and raucous.... |
| MsJudi (Houston, TX) | Posted: May 08, 2008 - 11:23 I like this... it's kinda creepy. |

Much of the vocals on this cut are Aviv. {EDIT: Huh no....} News flash: We lost the Skyline CD arrived in the mail! So did In the Court of the Crimson King and Madrugada's Live at Tralfamadore. Joy! Joy! Joy! |

| fractalglider | Posted: Feb 04, 2008 - 00:38 Steven Wilson is utterly brilliant....musical genius!!!! |
| h_in_bristol (over there ^) | Posted: Jan 29, 2008 - 16:03 Here I am thinking "This is PT", what a nice song. I guess I was not that wrong :-) |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Jan 06, 2008 - 13:22 ...best blackfield i've heard, not bad at all... |
| Deadwing (Cincinnati OH) | Posted: Oct 04, 2007 - 14:36 Ya I have both CDs and love em both  My favorite Blackfield song is Blackfield from their debut CD. It's uploaded here but has never been played  Maybe if everyone requested it Bill might fit it into the rotation... (hint)  |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Oct 04, 2007 - 08:42 I wonder if Wilson understood that he would have the same fans digging both Blackfield II and Fear of a Blank Planet. Given the differences in the two CDs, that's quite a feat. |
| canz (London, not-so-united Kingdom) | Posted: Oct 04, 2007 - 08:40 Omg this is awful. |
| heeb (Gateshead (Newcastle), United Kingdom) | Posted: Oct 04, 2007 - 08:40 Never heard of them. Nice surprise! An 8 (for now). |
in mr steven wilson's line!
