      ​​@@Chinookman The solo in the second half reminded me of Alvin Lee, specifically the solo at the end of the bluest blues. The earlier parts reminded me of King Crimson(Robert Fripp).Great solo but it doesn't displace Comfortably numb for me, but it does go on my list. 👍

    This song resonates very much with me, as me and my girlfriend had a terrible car accident last year. A drunk and high driver lost control of her car and hit us head-on. Knocked our car straight on the sidewalk, it was unrecognizable after. We both fainted, and woke up later with the glass from the windshields in our mouths. Fortunately, we got out (or maybe they pulled us out, we don't remember) and people helped us out. We were in the hospital for a few days, and luckily walked off only with a concussion, a broken wrist on my part, and various bruises for both of us. But I remember breaking down crying when my gf lamented a weird pain in her stomach on the drive in the ambulance. I begged the paramedics to look after her and forget about me, I was convinved I was going to lose her. Thank God it all worked out. :)

    A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE"

  • @BritishArmyTributes
    @BritishArmyTributes Před 7 lety +4456

    In Steven Wilson's own words:
    “The song is based on a story but one that wasn’t mine; it was suggested to me by the guy [Hajo Mueller] who was illustrating, doing the artwork and the book. The idea is about a couple driving along in a car at night, very much in love; the guy is driving, and his partner - his wife or girlfriend or whoever she is - is in the passenger seat, and the next minute she’s gone.
    “The guy is crazy: What happened? Where did she go? He does all the obvious things: looks under the seats, stops and checks the road, all of that. The song is basically about missing time; it’s the idea of blocking out time because of something so traumatic that you literally remove it from your mind.
    “The story ultimately winds up with the ghost of the partner coming back, years later, and saying, ‘I’m going to remind you now what happened that night.’ There was a terrible car accident, and she died, etcetera, etcetera - again, the idea of trauma leading to a missing part of this guy’s life. He can’t deal with the reality of what happened, so he blocks it out - like taking a piece of tape and editing a big chunk out of it. It’s a sad, very beautiful song about loss.
    “It has an extraordinary guitar solo. Guthrie’s playing is just sublime. That, for me, is the memory of this song. I had done a solo on the demo, knowing that I wanted an anthemic, epic solo at the end. In the studio, we did four or five takes, and each time Guthrie would reinvent the idea of what the solo could be.
    “The particular solo we chose was either the first or the second one. It was so inspired and had such a beautiful sense of logic and storytelling to it. It’s one take, unedited, and it’s just unbelievably brilliant. And it’s improvised - he didn’t plan anything. It was such a moving experience to hear him play it. I was almost in tears."

      Well, he did fill out the Royal Albert Hall and his album To the Bone did really well (I think it was topping some chart for number 1 spot). He's made a good enough success from his music for it to be worth his while and for him to be remembered by the prog fans. So it's not like he's really not recognized, but I understand what you're getting at. I'd think that this is actually better for him, as the life that comes with the huge fame of big pop stars is usually a destructive and uncomfortable one. He's probably way more comfortable in his current lifestyle.

He just understands the feeling of loss so well... It's gotta be from personal experience. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but it feels good to be understood.

    Dust down your wings again
    You need to clear away all the jetsam in your brain
    And face the truth
    Well love can make amends
    While the darkness always ends
    You're still alone
    So drive home

      If it is the interview I think you are alluding to (he doesn't give many), I was under the impression that SW was referring to the guitar solo on Regret #9, but I may be wrong. You are 'knowing' about his music, after all.

      @XiyuYang Před 8 lety +3

      Joseph Bennett No I'm not, read it here, www.themonolith.com/music/music-video-steven-wilson-make-the-drive-home/
      However, I don't think SW mentioned that the guitar solo on Regret #9 is improvised. Guthrie did say that he borrowed an American Deluxe Strat for that solo, it might be improvised, it might not.
      No need for the sarcasm pal. I know SW rarely improvises anything in PT, No-Man, Bass Communion, Blackfield, I.E.M. or Storm Corrosion. I can tell that almost nothing in all these projects are improvised. However, he is very open to improvisation in most of his solo works, perhaps excluding Insurgentes.

    You're still alone
    So drive home

    A moment in time suspends
    How could she leave?

    Give up your pain

    I love Govan's guitar solo, he really gives pain an identity. When you think the pain is subsiding, Minnemann pops in to give his opinion and the guitar and drum begin this gut wrenching exchange. It is one of the most painfully beautiful solos I have ever heard, making it a favorite. Solos do not have to be note-filled tangents to be glorious.

    I hadn’t heard of Steven Wilson nor Porcupine Tree until I sent a demo to a friend for an unbiased opinion of the mix. When he said “This sounds like something Steven Wilson or Kevin Moore might have written.” I was completely oblivious to the comparison. Well, after having listened to Drive Home a hundred times, and crying during the guitar solo nearly every time, I have to say I’m glad the comments confirm that I’m not alone in feeling overwhelming emotions from the guitar.

I haven't followed Steven's solo work as closely. I just listened to this song for the first time and it moved me to tears. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Guthrie's solo was absolutely incredible. This is one of those very rare moments in my life that I cherish so much because I just heard a song for the first time that I absolutely loved immediately added to my favorites list after one listen. It's so rare for me to like a song this much this quickly. I just listened twice in a row and I feel like I could listen to this song on loop for 24 hours. Thank God for Steven and the gifts he's been given and the amazing work he's been doing for many many years now.

    People are very impressed with the guitar solo; it's exceptional, a fact, but what really stands out is the theatrical context, the construction of the drama, the emptiness and hopelessness as protagonists, it's as if we invited guilt, pain, sadness and perplexity for not accepting the facts , all contained in musical notes that express sensations that many do not like to face, but that are always present, sometimes more intense, sometimes more subtle, and only the very sensitive can capture the waves of multi-feelings that gather within a human being. this is the great force in Steven Wilson's musicality; this one, a troubadour of tragedies and the wizard Guthrie Govan honoring primacy over speed; tearing souls into deep immersion; to say: A masterful solo, sovereign, detached from everything that has been heard in the current moment in the history of the guitar. Congratulations from an unconditional admirer of the colossal work proposed by a group of geniuses united by the love of music built on the flames of excellence.

    This song was on repeat for one whole week on my EarPods while skiing in France 5 years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song so much at a stretch without getting fed up.

    You know whats amazing with the Steven and porcupine tree? They compose deep music. Their music always has a lot of meaning attached to it.

    So I just saw an interview with Steven that he did with Rick Beato where he said that as soon as they began to track the solo the E String popped out of the saddle so Guthrie had to play that entire solo without the E string. Steven decided that was the keeper.
