    Note how when she finds that peace at the end is the first time she goes past the tree to face the sea, the sun is out and she hasn’t cried so much. Beautiful song, there’s also a cyclical feel to the first section, in the melody and the rhythm. Great analysis Bryan 👍🏻

    Great reaction. Wilson is an amazing composer. This album “Hand Cannot Erase” is one of the best Prog albums of all time.

    These animated Steven Wilson videos are always so poignant, and this is no exception. I'm not sure if I like it as much as Drive Home or The Raven That Refused to Sing, but it may just be because I saw them first. As for the music, this also isn't my favorite SW (the song and album in general), though it does have the typical qualities that make him such a great artist in general, especially all of the harmonic touches that create such a unique atmosphere and tone that's beyond the typical, easy dichotomies of happy/sad. I think the one thing that makes this song stand out from Wilson's past work is the extremely powerful, emotive climax. Wilson is usually more restrained, but I think it build-up/climax is quite well done, and the return to subtlety, especially with the beautiful harmonies and choral vocals over the acoustic guitar, is a lovely touch.

    Man, this song... this song is intense. If you like this, you should check out the version on their live DVD, Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. It's a bonus track, and a rehearsal, so there's no audience but it is played live. And Ninet Tayeb does more of the singing. I love Jess Cope's videos, and I'm not saying that the rehearsal video is better, but it's different in some pretty impactful ways. So, if you liked this song, check out the live rehearsal.

    the part starting about 3:55 is very similar to one of the songs by his other project, Storm Corrosion... I am not sure which one, though :)

    Please check out the new single and it's music video from Rivers of Nihil's brand new album. Track is called The void from Which No Sound Escapes and I think you'd like it because it kind of has all the best qualities of the band in the same track. Here's the link to it: czcams.com/video/NF9J8NyA1ag/video.html

    As a subjective reaction - loved it. Again, I can't help but be reminded of something else, and the vocals evinced David Longdon of Big Big Train.

    I'm a sucker for the waltz feel, particularly 6/8. One thing I've always loved about this song is the 5 feel as it leaves me hanging with that 2 in the second bar if you will, meaning that the main part of the composition gives a somewhat lack of resolve in the smallest meter possible. Great analysis.

    @Cejkis1993 Před 2 lety

    Nice analysis! For me, not only 5/4 creates tension, but its also coupled into alternating two 5s of tension and two 5s of relief, which also reflects the split in the woman`s mood.

    It's interesting how a music video can change your perspective on a song. The first time I listened to this album, this song didn't really stand out to me. After watching the video, I feel like the song clicked a lot more. Now every time I come back to it I'll be thinking about the video.

    Man Steven Wilson doesn’t have a happy song and I love it. All of his stuff isn’t happy. It may sound happy but it isn’t. Porcupine tree, Steven Wilson solo nor storm corrosion have happy songs.
