A Musician who is really enjoying his Musical Journey. Well done Steve.
yes;)))
But doing music should not be about the artist......the fans are more imporant.What steve is doing is self-indulgent.
@@TheMaster4999 hmmmm that's not a problem. What is really self-indulgent is stating that what fans want is superior than what an artist want to his project.
If Steven is happy by doing whatever he wants, I'm happy. That guy puts love and effort in every step he does (musically speaking).
Is up to us the fans either enjoy his work or skipping it from our taste.
@@TheMaster4999 doing art should ALWAYS be about the artist. Now shut up and enjoy
@@TheMaster4999 excuse me??? gtfo
I remem ber reading years ago how Steven Wilson refused to be boxed into the confines of being a "prog "musician and writer . Over the years I have begun to understand what he meant. It takes balls to go in new directions when you know there are going to be many who switch off and ask for a return to the öld stuff". Millions of kudos to you Steven for looking for and going in new musical directions . Perhaps we can all learn to take off the blinkers when it comes to new directions in music and go on this new journey with you. If anyone is going to take us on this new journey , I am grateful that we have you to lead the way!
What we call "prog" now has become a clearly defined genre with expectations from listeners. It's funny - as far as pure artistic expression and experimentation go, prog genre is now quite confined.
That is why Steven Wilson is one of my three favorite songwriters (the others being Ian Anderson and Chris Corner). Yeah, I like prog, but I also like lots of other genres, and SW does well writing in them. I'm trying to avoid listening to these new songs repeatedly until the entire record comes out, especially since I'm getting that newly-expanded limited edition. I can already tell I'm gonna like this one alot!
Not to mention that actually this is him going back to the old stuff, it just seems that the bunch of ppl that jumped on stevie bandwagon with the raven never bothered to listen to early porcupine tree or no man
@@platypus.divergent Certainly. Most of the"prog"that I initially loved was very much guitar based with keyboards being secondary but , as we all know, that is not the rule at all. I subsequently learnt to appreciate and enjoy the more electronic and keyboard oriented prog. It is almost the same journey we are on with Mr Wilson!
@@platypus.divergent I think Steven even said something like "There is no audience as conservative as the prog audience".
I am going to be super honest here. This song is creating small holes into my heart. I am feeling this weird emptiness since I listened to this song. It feels like I am the King Ghost now. This year has been a sad one, a terribly depressive one. I still haven't figured out whether it is a happy song or a sad one but I am tripping with sorrow after hearing it. It always demands a lot of listening to understand Wilson's music. It takes time for those songs to grow inside. Once it hits the spot, it dominates the soul. The music forever stays inside the brain cells. Steven Wilson, Sir, you are a real Genius.
I share the same feeling.
This is the most relatable comment so far!
You should listen to Pale Traces from The Gathering. It literally bursts me into tears. Blank Tapes from TTB, same thing!
& you r right in the assessment! I'm with you on that! If I could be as talented as he! My Music was heading in that direction in the 70s but I thought it sounded like disassemble lost to ELP OR YES I WISH I STAYED WITH IT! BUT IM OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE Steve did it better than I think I could have done!!!!
I cried so hard. Our family dog died peacefully this morning. This was playing in the car stereo when I was on my way to see her resting place.
Thank you Steven Wilson for helping me through my grief through the power of your music. What a beautiful song.
Being a dog lover i can understand your pain and i am sorry for your loss.Music is something i always turn to at such times and the melancholy beauty of Stevens music helps the healing of the heart and soul.
Oh, Lauren. I am so sorry to know of your loss. Like so many here, I have been where you are and know your hurt. Just know that our furry loved ones wait for us in a special place, reserved for them and us. We will see them again, and they will see us. And that day will be beyond joyful. Your pup knows. Just wait for it.
I've been with Steven from his very beginnings, and can only offer that his work almost universally tears me apart. It is magnificent.. I can't even go into how it affects me. LOVE.
I was reading the comments and i read about your lost....Life can suck.I have a little one and his name is peanut.Hes 19 and i dread the day he must leave me.God bless and i hope all is well.........Peace.
the song unironically reminded me to take my meds
Lol
But did you get out of bed?
@@AWaBfantasy umm, briefly
What are you taking?
hahaha! this comment reminded me to take my meds, u're the new medicine xD
Steven Wilson is exactly doing what progressive music should be about: progression and change. Love this song.
Progression and change for the sake of it is redundant though. There is no point progressing and changing into something you aren't good at and while I don't hate these new songs.... I don't really think they are any good either. If he's happy then fair enough. I have his older stuff to listen to. So long as he likes what he is doing and others enjoy it, it's all good.
@@wickywoowoo Complexity for the sake of it is the same, I am guessing it's one of the reasons Steven WIlson "downgraded" his music. Whether it's truly downgraded though is still a question, because it's done on purpose, it's noticeable how he is "holding back" and it adds its own effect.
Progressive music as a genre is about progression within a track - which can embrace complexity and simplicity, hard and soft, fast and slow, changes in rhythm, key, etc. (It can incorporate other genres but still within that frame.) Progressive music is not about switching genres. If that was the case, it would be progressive music if SW put out a marching band song. Clearly not the case.
To avoid conflating different concepts, I think it's better to hold on to two different concepts: 1) progressive music, as described above; 2) a progressive *artist* who doesn't like to stick to one genre or musical style.
Steven Wilson would! therefore, be a progressive artist who, mostly creates progressive rock/pop (Porcupine Tree and most of his solo work) but has also occasionally released more standard-sounding rock/pop/electronica (To The Bone and The Future Bites).
Prince and Madonna could be viewed as progressive artists but not creators of progressive music.
That falsetto is breathtaking... I love Steven Wilson. I discovered Porcupine Tree when I was 2011. Steven’s music throughout his various projects, as well as his lyrics touch my soul in ways no other artists could ever dream..

YOU ARE AMAZING!
Really dig these lyrics sir. TY
Loved it, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant Stuff, I love everything you have created old and new, except a few, but I don't love All of me too, the best thing is all your creations have something new! 🤗❤️
This is amazing. I definitely hear some of Thom Yorke's influence, yet the song is so distinctively Wilson! I've always loved his voice, but the quality of his falsetto gives me chills. The good kind. ;)
Thom Yorke would be a hope for the new album. The Steven Wilson album will of course be much more commercial.
And the chopped up robotic vocal samples that start around 1:07 have a Boards of Canada vibe. I love how SW incorporates so many influences into the music he creates. It makes for such a rich and robust catalog, and of course he has excellent taste in music.
@@zanderalex2463 Commercial? Are you kidding ? :D At how commercial radios will be playin this kind of deep and alternative music? I’m really curious to list of this radios :D and how many millions people will be buying this album what’s is definitely alternative genre, this music isn’t for a masses ,same as music of Thom and it’s just good, because why should be throw pearls for a swines ?
I reckon Steven got his musical branding from listening to lots of ABBA as a kid. That was one band whose sound was so distinctive, you always knew whose song it was, even if you hadn't heard the song before.
@@andyd.5195 Well, in comparison to the Porcupine Tree albums and all the Steven Wilson albums this has always been more poppy and easier. Whether it will be more commercial in the sense of "will sell more than To The Bone and H.C.E." remains to be seen. For the first time since I've known Steven Wilson, I'm unsure if I'm buying. Sorry, it's like this. I bought the Deluxe Edition from the albums before that.
Instant Massive Attack vibes = instant like.
It is a beautiful message hidden inside this song. It is for people with mental illness. It is really beautiful. Thanks Steve!!
New Steven Wilson is always a good thing.

If you love PT, here's a cover of the king ghost song in PT style with guitar solos
I cannot explain what it is that 75% of the songs make me tear up. They are touching me just by their melodies even without any of the lyrics they feel incredible deep.
He just creates the most beautiful pieces of music i've ever heard throughout my life.
I would love to hear "And the swallows dance above the sun"
Remember when I watched one of his shows some years ago he was talking about the difference between an entertainer and an artist. The first one is creates art in order to please his fans, while the second one is doing it as a way to express and please himself. You need guts to change your music style completely without caring about its reception from your fans. Greetings to one of the greatest artists of our time!
Not going to lie, I'm really digging this album. I disliked a lot of tracks on this one for sounding pop and electronic but they've grown on me. I still can't get into To the bone, and I guess I never will. This is a good album overall, not as great as Grace for drowning - Raven, but it still holds up.
I lost my darling husband Col on August 6th to Cancer, he was only 58.. We are Pagans and I like to think this video shows what his afterlife was like when he passed over to the Summerlands.. We are massive fans of Steven and it was the Fear of a Blank Planet and Deadwing albums that brought us together on Myspace in 2008.. So many tracks and albums of PT and Steven as he progressed that we shared together and as many gigs that we could get tickets for.. The Hand Cannot Erase tour in Brighton was the last gig that Col could manage before his health went so wrong.. He would have enjoyed this new work from Steven. I miss him so very much.. I just hope we can be together again and tracks like this are so right for how I feel right now.. :'(
My personal favourite out of the 3 tracks released so far, beautiful visuals as well.
Easily one of my favorite things he has ever done. And Jess Cope’s work keeps getting better and better. This is on a whole different level.
Creating for himself not the masses, a true artist
Wilson never fails to satisfy his fans. This song is a gift for the ones who had lost hope of getting back old Steven and his classics! Great catchy tune and most importantly DARK.
When Steven Wilson said he makes "Pop" music, THIS IS the kind of "Pop" that he refers to. Not your typical generic "Pop" music. Most Prog Rock/Metal fans don't understand it (why?)... His conception of "Pop" as compositional structure and harmonic development is not what most people think of...
i mean he's also made permanating... which is quite cookie cutter pop, lol
Steven Wilson is amongst the greatest musicians in Human History. Please accept my humble regards 🙏
The best of the best mate, a pure musical genius
We have been blessed today with the God almighty himself 💖
This song makes me feel things I haven't in a while. I admire SW's commitment to progression and change.
For some reason this took me back to my childhood memories, best described as melancholic happiness

Made me think of Donald Trump trying to deal with Covid.
@@tylerbailey9329 Failure? You were probably calling him a racist when he was the first world leader to ban flights from China, followed by many other countries. And while Crazy Nancy was dancing in Chinatown. Remember the worst hit cities and states are all Democrat led.

@@philipneville4207 He could've tried banning flights from elsewhere too before the fatalities rivaled that of the Vietnamese war, instead of boiling all the nuances of the problem down to a single scapegoat. Not to say that China shouldn't have done a better job themselves at containing the virus, but all Trump did was dwell on it so he could use it as a dog whistle.
Voice of an angel
Most people are disappointed that Steven Wilson is not making another Prog Rock masterpiece. I can understand their feelings. But hey look at the bright side Steven Wilson is still making brilliant albums. Not just only prog rock but other genre also. I personally think Steven Wilson is like NIN always moving forward. So I appreciate his efforts making new album and giving something new... though it will disappoint many prog fans.

I hear lots of influences on this track from Thom Yorke to Talk Talk .....with a sprinkling of No man ........Yes i love PT but i love Steven's solo work too .....i like the fact he's a musician and an artist who can walk his own path and still create impressive bodies of work .......This is so refreshing compared to the manufactured autotuned stuff that is in the mainstream.....long may it continue
Steven's music never fails to take me to another place - What a perfect video/piece of art to match this track. Just amazing.
It's good to see that people are finding even one clue about the genre and saying "Is it that musician's reference?"
Forget about the genre there are bands with full albums similar to their own or to the others, his creativity wins.
The man who stands up in our expectations....man isn't this awesome ??

I love it when Steven puts out new video's and new music. Steven's music has no genre and his music isn't like any other around. Thank you for all the great talent you have. I am a huge fan.
Jess Cope has created another amazing video! What an amazing lady she is!
In my opinion, The Future Bites is shaping up to be something rather special. I love the the three songs released so far, they each have there own unique flavour and they truly get better with every listen!
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever saw and heard!!
Steven Wilson hasn't abandoned Progressive Rock. He has embodied it. Steven Wilson's music is always progressing, always evolving, always something new that has been expressed from the depths of his soul. Steven Wilson for life!
I also think lumping him into one genre is a disservice. He’s done so many different styles of music over the last two plus decades.

And MAJOR kudos to Jess Cope for making another beautiful work of art to go along with SW's music. I love every one of her videos, and this one is no exception. WELL DONE!!
This song is running in a continuous loop in my mind.
Beautiful and touching the deepest self !! Can't wait for the record and a live tour when it is time..!
All what Steven touch become pure gold 👌🙏👌💚👌
I discovered you recently thanks to all this global disaster. Listening to your music and going through your history( all your projects) I knew that I was not alone in this world and that many aliens like you and me, had arrived in the wrong world, but it comforts me to know that you and others like us exist and we are united for the same reason. Thank you for your music and for all your career which I treasure from Altamont !!
Love how he can transcend so many different genres yet it all still has his signature on it. I think this is the most emotive SW song that doesn't have the benefit of Ninet Tayeb being on it. Would love to hear Metethe Soltvedt on a SW track.
Will i ever have the luck to meet Steven in person? I just want to see him make and record a song. With music he has explored beyond boundaries and it seems that he is sailing in the open space picking up the inevitable. The chills are the only thing which is still prevalent in every song. Rest is unpredictable but so beautiful.
Always pushing his own limit. Album to album, expect something new, expect to be shaken. Expect to be taken out of your comfort zone.
Expect new music. Thank U Steven.
Best track of the bunch so far though Eminent Sleaze gets better each listen. Can’t wait to hear the rest
eminent sleaze didn`t get better for me. On the other hand I was skeptical about Personal Shopper at first and now I love it
Oh! the colors and the sound. Delight!
in my mid fifties and just came across Steve and Porcupine Tree, I must have been in a cave everything you guys do is a revelation in music. Been looking for something different and inspiring musically for years, only now starting to find my enjoyment in music again. Thanks
I think you would love this cover of King Ghost

I'm loving this new Steven Wilson stuff! Really smooth
everybody's just like "steven, why are you changing your music to this new style"
Steven: singing about pills and ghosts, using synths
Genius lol kkkkk, althought i didnt like the song, really :( im sad but you're right xD
Hahahhahahahahhahaha I'm sure the next song will have the word "trains"
Servas Schorsch! I really fucking love this song, never expected him to go this way and maybe that's exactly why I think it's so incredibly good
It's a good job those people were never Bowie fans.
Not the first the he sang about pills and ghosts, too
This song is much better than the other two released.
I can't stop listening to this song. IT'S SO DAMN GOOD! I get why some will be turned off by it, but for me, it's just such a mesmerising track and the video just takes it to another level. Can't wait to hear it live.
Yes. And see Steven Live!
My favourite so far off the new alb. Love the video too... I think most of us could do with some spiritual ascension right now
Les artistes qui se renouvellent sont rares.... Steven en est un .... continue!
Great song.... great author.
Thank god for Steven Wilson

Brilliant. Beautiful.
The animation is stunning and the music is just as beautiful. Another home run as far as I'm concerned! Jess Cope and Steven Wilson is always a great collaboration.
Loved the chorus and arrpegiated synths on this song.
Great video too.
How does he come with a totally different music genre every year and doesn't get us bored. This guy is amazing... underrated...

........Stunning!
You are super Amazing
It still really baffles me, that so many of his fans have listened to his releases from The Future Bites so far and come away with the conclusion that it's a completely new direction for Steven out of the blue. Like, no, it's totally not. To the Bone wasn't really all that far off the same path, and he was experimenting with electronic and pop songwriting in Porcupine Tree waaaay before their sound started taking on a distinctly prog metal vibe. Beneath the guitar work, a lot of early PT was heavily grounded in electronic music. Just because the guitars are less prominent now, doesn't mean it's inconsistent with the sorts of music he's been creating all along. And thematically, The Future Bites is the same thing he's been saying about consumer culture since "Piano Lessons". When I listen to his newer material, I get impressions from so many different directions-- ABBA, ELO, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Thom Yorke-- and I can't help but be impressed by how he's integrated those influences into his own voice.
Beautiful work here. I like "Personal Shopper", too, but this one has a really pretty ethereal quality to it that I absolutely adore.
As a fan since early PT (Voyage 34 era), I'll say this is really a new direction from the aspect that this style is in the focus of the music at the sacrifice of other musical influences that were previously mixed rather liberally with PT and Wilson's previous work, those influences being early prog, rock, barbershop quartet, jazz, etc. Not to say he hasn't touched on portions of this genre before, because he certainly has, but never to this depth and absolutely not to this level of exclusivity. What I'm hearing now is straight, cold electronic and it hasn't grown on me yet. It seems he's trying to appeal to a younger audience, which is fine. That's perfectly well within his choice career-wise. While I'm sure there will be some dissent to my comment here, I don't feel like a majority of older PT and some early Steven solo fans will find this appealing outside of the dedicated masses. It's just a bit too far off what he's done. But, he will find new fans as well.

@Toxic Potato You are the sort of person that's absolutely worth disappointing.

If you love PT, here's a cover of the king ghost song in PT style with guitar solos
Well, he has totally reworked his approach to writing, in that he no longer writes on guitar, but now electronically. It is certainly a new direction, from that perspective. And, there are no drums or guitar on this track at all, which is new. Although there may be stylistics pointers from earlier albums, I think in many ways this does qualify as a new direction.
Plus, it seems as if a lot of fans who have been on board since early PT are now jumping ship, so there must be something new about it.
Simply Magical ❤
can't get enough of this. my absolute fave from TFB so far. Steve, I don't know what I'd do without the beauty you create
