The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget you own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
(Take your hands off my land)
Credit me with some intelligence (if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten (in five varieties)
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
Is you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear
Credit me with some intelligence (if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten (in five varieties)

Colin Edwin - a classic progressive bassist. Show me a "well-cared" bass line - I'll show you a catchy tune.
I love that...well-cared.
yeah, I heard a faint, very faint resemblance in the beat to the 'What I am' song by Edie. that's about it.
But this song rocks it, love PT!
Oddly, someone else brought that up earlier in the thread. If I were to try, I could make myself hear that, but really, it's a pretty standard rock drum beat - probably in hundreds of songs. I guess the wah-wah guitar is reminiscent as well. As far as the melody, the chord progression, and the other instrumentation, this song is entirely different. Everyone hears different things.
What?

totally agree
I beg to differ, there is NEVER too much PT on RP
totally agree
Interesting idea. The mid- to late 1960s psychedelic feel was made all the better by the vocal harmonies. I think Steven lost a willing harmonizing fellow band member when the former drummer left.
I'll add a please to that too. And the liquid kazoo-like guitar is fabulous as always.
The man plays a mean slide guitar (if you can get him to even pick up a guitar these days).
PT fun fact-
The weird little copper thing that Wilson always uses as a slide is a napkin ring he made for his mum in school when he was 10 or so.
Lacks a piano lead, but other than that, this song rocks... love it...
Yes indeedy. Sequence repeated in February to great effect.
Most people might call it segueing.
curse you itunes
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians! Did I win? Did I? Did I?

One of the many reasons I switched my radio donations from NPR to Radio Paradise!

Isn't that a bit like saying that Leonard Cohen is channeling Rod McKuen? But I hear it too, lol.
But, I see that the Strawberry Alarm clock hasn't been heard from on RP since 2004. I wouldn't mind hearing that song, just once more. (Bill, if you are reading this, note: just ONCE more, please!)
Love it all tho....
I think its correct to write ; So different from their current stuff. But I'm not sure, I'm from Germany. But it's real different and I love it also.
Love it all tho....
Thanks equinoxus. Makes me weary just glancing over it! What a work ethic.
Great photo of Wilson in the studio.
I reckon In Absentia is his best Porcupine Tree effort to date so his Forward urges me to listen to his other favourites (as of 2002): No-Man's Returning Jesus, IEM's Arcadia Son, Bass Communion II, Anja Garbarek's Smiling and Waving, and Opeth's Blackwater Park.
Sigh. So little time and so much music.
Opeth are awesome!!!
Funny, when I want some easy-listening, low-demand Porcupine Tree, I reach for this CD.
This song has to be one of the more poppy tunes on the CD. I'm just amazed that this hasn't received wider airplay.
That is so funny- Stupid Dream is always my "I Don't Know I Want To Listen To Right Now" PT CD followed closely by Deadwing. Deadwing is chillingly perfect to me.
Moviewise it's always Twister... Regardless of my mood- Twister is always amusing.

A big hello and Valentines greeting to all the fellow Porcupine Tree fans across the globe!
Received in the mail just recently PT's keyboard player Richard Barbieri's solo CD projects Stranger Inside and Things Buried.
Experimental, mostly instrumental, ambient. Both the wife and I quite like it. They work well for active listening and background music while concentrating on more difficult tasks. Perhaps it is an acquired taste.
Should be able to order through one of the on-line Amazon stores without difficulty: Click-thru Radio Paradise
I adore it
Nailed it with this.
Wow, I couldn't possibly disagree more with this assessment.

Never had much to do with PT until I started listening to RP. A convert. The vocal harmonies are wondrous.
Same Here!! Now, they are one of my favorite bands. GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
