I wasted my chances
I have found myself wanting
When my mother and father
Gave me their problems
I accepted them all
Nothing ever expected
I was rejected
But I came back for more
And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky
Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles
And my ashes fall on all the things we said
On a box of photographs under the bed, the bed
I will stay in my own world
Under the covers
I will feel safe inside
A kiss that will burn me
And cure me of dreaming
I was always returning
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys
And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails, distant sails
Sails, sails

Don't quite get all those saying it's not a Zepp steal. Sure it's not a complete rip off, but definitely influenced. The riff and style of sound that runs through the song from the opening bars is very much like No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. I had to look to check when it first started up it that similar.
That doesn't make it any less relevant as music, though - does it? I thought the Led Zepp sound on No Quarter was reminiscent of early Camel - who were starting out around the time of Houses of the Holy, but does it really matter?
Es una tremenda banda...!! Inglesa para variar. Con Gavin Harrison en la bateria, baterista de King Crimson, junto a otros dos en trio.
I am not sure what this means. I hope it means that you liked my comment!

Tal cual!!!! sanas influencias, la armonia de las cuerdas es el tratmiento que les da Robert Fripp
Westslope viene del nombre de una trucha originaria de las Montañas Rocosas y de la cordillera de Purcell, en el oeste de Canadá y Estados Unidos.
Westslope cutthroat trout.
Conozco los nombres de varias truchas en español, pero no de ésta.
Wilson fue influenciado por Yes, Pink Floyd, Camel, Talk Talk y muchas otras bandas. Pero si se tratara de una sola influencia importante, tendría que ser King Crimson.
Fripp es un fan y un amigo.

I hear King Crimson
Wilson was influenced by Yes, Pink Floyd, Camel, Talk Talk as well as many other bands. But if it came to just one important influence, it would have to be King Crimson.
Fripp is a fan and a friend.
I hear King Crimson
According to Wikipedia, Steven Wilson remixed King Crimson album
Came here to bring the "no quarter" comment. Love it!
I hear King Crimson
I definitely hear the LedZep freaky keyboard echoes underneath, but on top of that, I think it's a brilliant — and poignant — work of art.

One of the greatest drummers at work today.
Oh, it's definitely you. To my ears, he resembles Michael Stipe like Bono echoes Bolton.
Is there another Zepp out there??
![sleep](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_sleep.gif)
All of them. And to hear several of them frequently.
I do concur with a question about how many songs we shold hear from some acts, but imo PT is not one of them.
11 months ago today? W00t? More PTness!

Me too. I am running a marathon next Sunday and I have three Porcupine Tree albums queued up on my IPod Shuffle. My goal is to lose my mind to the music as my body breaks down to the pounding. Thank you RP!

Many posts ago, but we never got your appraisal of the concert?
We enjoyed it but the loudness was irritating. Wish I had acoustical ear plugs with me.
A wall of sound where the notes or anything else are indistinguishable is not particularly interesting.
Next time: bring acoustical ear plugs.
BTW and FWIW, I can hear a pin drop at 80 metres in the bush or a grizzly pounding stuff at 400 metres. Am not interested in jeopardizing my hearing.
Otherwise, I still thoroughly enjoy the Hand.Cannot.Erase and the 4 1/2 CDs.

Yes, those opening chords are very "No Quarter", but other than that? . . .
It is slightly reminiscent of "No Quarter" during the intro, don't you think?

Love the anti-blotto message on the Fear of a Blank Planet CD. Fits well with the harm reduction philosophy.
Let's hope for a PT reunion in 2016

The whole thing never really got where it should. Or where I hoped it would take me eventually.
Now that they don't exist anymore, in retrospect, their music sounds cold and - as some mentioned it here - self centered. It just didn't give enough to remain in my heart with bands like Genesis, Pink Floyd, Santana and many more ...
Have you seen SW with his new band? AMAZING

Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be ho...me tonight.
As did I.
I don't mean to brag, but I'm capable of appreciating "introspective and cerebral" music (not that you were condescendingly insinuating that non PT-fans aren't). I just don't happen to enjoy PT/SW's particular brand of affected, pretentious, self-absorbed prog rock. But to each his own.
for those of you who love: affected, pretentious, self-absorbed prog rock .......
go listen to The Raven that refused to sing. Cut number 2 "Drive Home" is particularly emotional. I would have recommended it for upload to RP but I see it has already been considered once and rejected and is now being reconsidered. The lead guitar is sublime.
En Garde!
Oh wait... seriously, PT's and indeed Steven Wilson's work is both very introspective and cerebral. There are many for whom that's not their cup of tea. I know folks who ask wtf the noise is when Harmony Korinne plays. Well ok, they try to ask. They can't seem to hear themselves over me cranking up the volume for those brief shining moments however. ;)

No need for attack at all. I appreciate what you are saying...and tend to agree. I'm a bonafide PT fan...but I understand where you are coming from. I think Steven Wilson is very self absorbed...I still like it much the same. Not my fave PT tune by a long shot...perhaps this is why.

I agree. He's not my cup of tea either, to put it nicely.
Actually moving quite some distance away from my region of birth next month, after living there for 32 years :)...
I fully agree with your statement. What annoys me in Wilson's case though, is that he alleges his growth was only possible because he finally has a talented band behind him.
I wouldn't go around telling everyone that I moved away because the people in my place of birth are maybe a bit too slow for me.
PT fans, have at me.
Somehow I have the same disgruntled feeling about him.
Especially when he says things like how his third solo album was made possible because he could finally write his music for a full band of really talented musicians. He must have forgotten the fact that he already had such a band, which featured Gavin Harrison and two other rather good instrumentalists. Barbieri's atmospherics really define the sound of Porcupine Tree (this song is a very good example).
The third solo album (The Raven...) I found occasionally interesting, but mostly a 1973 Genesis wannabe, but more depressing. People say it sounds like King Crimson. Not very interested to hear more King Crimson, then.
Hey, everyone has the right, if not the duty in life, to grow and move on. Once you feel you've done all you can in any particular direction it's healthy to change and (hopefully) grow. Regardless what you, the onlooking listener, may feel about it. That's life. When you stop moving and changing you die. 'Tis that simple. So keep on moving I say. ;-)

I happen to dislike jazz and like heavy rock. The man's breadth of interest is admirable. His recent output may be, from an artistic point of view, but I can't enjoy it.
Still pisses me off.

Srsly, you guys need to break out of your little clubby bubble here..."only cool guys need comment".....
This is not a fanzine for PT. You're starting to piss me off. These are lame comments....
Still pisses me off.
![{#Yell} {#Yell}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_yell.gif)
Well, he claims that he became very bored with 'heavy rock'. The 3rd CD is heavily jazz-influenced.
Still pisses me off.

Well said , and RP assists wonderfully. Love it.
Cheers to RP!
I think it has a little deeper meaning than that. And by a little, I mean a lot.
I really do like these guys, but they are the Rock band equivalent of Debbie Downer.

Some Pink Floyd, some King Crimson, a little Yes and Tull.
All wonderfully filtered thru Steven Wilson's own sensibilities.
Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be ho...me tonight.
yes, I caught that too but remember, all great artists and poets steal
Exquisite music for body and soul ....beautiful sounds......
Spot on!

If you actually listened to the cd from the beginning to the end and understand the content, this photo fits perfectly
Gave me their problems
I accepted them all
First post sums it up. Close the door, put out the light, you know they won't be home tonight.
These vocals SUCK! He should stop singing and get someone else.
Lyrics are too damned literal and un- poetic.
Totally ruins the great instrumental accompaniment.

The No Quarter comment again, eh? This thread is indeed getting long! -hehe-
Glad everybody is enjoying the tune. Workaholic Steven Wilson is the renaissance man of my generation even if he is a decade or so younger.
Beat me to it! LOL!
Definitely a dark and bleak album by PT. Reminds me of "The Wall" by Pink Floyd in that regard. Or Mahler's 3rd symphony perhaps.
Not very cheery or for the weak of heart!
Also one filled with lots of good music, if you can stand to make it through.
An instrumental only version might broaden the appeal.

Very much so. I got out of my chair to comment, and realized it wasn't Zeppelin. (That's the only reason for my comment, and, as usual, I'm not the first to notice.)
Would be an interesting juxtaposition, yes?
One of the greatest drummers at work today.
This is an understatement. Godlike live.
