@@sidnew2739 he was very surprised when he found out that people thought this was the best song on the album because he didn't take it seriously. For him, it was an ordinary song, nothing outstanding. (He says this in the documentary of the album) But personally, I am delighted with the song
I havent heard any artist who can write,arrange and produce anything that reaches the depth , sincerity , creativity and stark clarity of any one in my life. Im 66. Close your mouth and listen. Be the uncelibtrated celebrity you are Steve keep being You. SHINE Brother, SHINE !!!
Train set and match spied under the blind Shiny and contoured the railway winds And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed The hiss of the train at the railway head Always the summers are slipping away 60 ton angel falls to the earth A pile of old metal, radiant blur Scars in the country, summer and her Always the summers are slipping away Find me a way for making it stay When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide The hissing subsides, I'm in luck When the evening reaches here you're tying me up I'm dying of love, it's okay When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide Hissing subsides, I'm in luck When the evening reaches here you're tying me up I'm dying of love, it's okay Always the summers are slipping away Find me a way for making it stay Always the summers are slipping away Always the summers are slipping away
It's been 20 years, I'm not even recognizable as the same person I was, thank God, and I still can't help but be wracked with sobbing tears because of this one line... I'm dying of love
not that I am complaining, but In Absentia would come to my mind as the last record on my list that needed extra polishing haha; always tested new headphones or speakers with it, and the dark side otm... anyhow, love the extra crisp, pls make the reunion
definitely much crisper, the snare has alot more crack to it, the cymbals are a bit more present, the acoustic also has that crispness, just seems like it brought out alot of the 3.5k-20k + in a big way that i enjoy thoroughly
If I remember well, SW said on interview that he regret some decisions he took at the time he produced In Absentia (and maybe Deadwing also), especially regarding compression. But I agree, the original mix is already pretty decent :)
I just found PT about 6-8 months ago. I first fell in love when I heard Arriving. I just HAD to hear more. Then I found In Absentia. So many gems, it blew my mind. So I told my husband to check them out and he is now a bigger fan than i am. Too little to late though. We'll never get to see them perform together which is such a bummer for us as seeing live music and going to shows is a huge part of our lives.
Go see Steven live - he does play some of his back catalogue from time to time. 7 PT tracks when I caught up with him at the Studio, Hamilton, Ontario. You might also be able to find John Wesley touring occasionally - he was supporting Marillion back in 2016 on the Canadian leg of their NA tour.
Jesterselv I watched the Documentary on the Blu Ray earlier for the first time since the Box Set came out last week and I was So sad at the end when Steven made it clear Unfortunately that Our Porcupine Tree are in his past now. 😪😪😪😪
@@TobyHaynes I do like some of Steven Wilson's solo stuff. I think Raven that refused to sing is the best piece of music I have ever heard. Other than that I do li like the more obscure songs like Harmony Corrine.
However it is, I am thankful to all PT for making these music together with which i can celebrate and cherish my life. Thank you PT and special thanks to SW.
Reminds me of my favorite film “Rumble Fish” Tom Waits character says “when you’re young you have nothing but time, spend some here, some there. As you get older you realize you’ve got maybe 30 summers left. Think about it, 30 summers”
Spruce Mouthman not necessarily, SW is known for changing his mind. He used to say that he never looks back only forward and yet in the past couple of Years he has made a new Blackfield album with Aviv and last year a new No-Man album at long last with Tim. Both bands from his past so Fingers Crossed you never know if we get a chance to see The Wonderful Porcupine Tree again. ❤️♥️
You’ve got to hear this in 5.1 surround sound if you want to hear this masterpiece the way it was intended. I’ve got this on DVD-AUDIO and it’s killer. This “remaster” pales in comparison.
My personal favourite PT "album" would have to be "Fear of a blank planet" whixh i first heard about 15 years ago now. Have since bought every album since
I really can't understand the first line Is "train set" an item or a phrase used to refer that the train is set on the railway? Also what does "spied" mean in here? I'm assuming it's referring to the act of concealing and carrying something secretly, in this case, I'm assuming the "train set" and "match". Even if I were to understand the syntax of this sentence I still think this is the most mysteriouys line lyrically and lexically in the song.
I like the song, but the acoustic guitar in the verse sounds really similar to something I heard in a old Jethro Tull song. For an example of the area I'm talking about, listen to 0.00 through 0.38 on the counter.
Snoodler69 did you not get the email from Burning Shed that said they are aware of the mistake and all of us that bought the Deluxe box set will receive a correct Blu Ray in a few weeks. So just hold on. 😊
@@Jesterselv Yeah it's top tier for sure. Reanimation by LP is pretty cool with some of the ways they split the music across the rears, and the Pink Floyd stuff aint bad, but yeah Steven's mixing on PT and whoever does Trent's stuff is amazing at it. Muse and Rammstien aint bad either.
@@Jesterselv It's not hard to understand the remaster on this release is from 2017. Go to the Kscope page where it's for sale, everything you need to know is on there. kscopemusic.com/artists/porcupinetree/
if you listen to via uncompressed qobuz or deezer premium, you can hear difference! bass and keyboard part is audible and nicer, and free from clipping and ear-bleeding volume.
@@k81400 well maybe but can never hear a difference with modern remasters, but then we all hear differently. for me i just can't pick it up. with or without a high tech sound system. this just sounds louder too me.
It is. But it still isn't. Once you've died of love, you'll always... God, will the pain of that death ever leave? Should we ever want it to? I don't think I'd ever feel anything ever again if that pain were to leave me. I suffer it gladly, I suppose.
@@CODENAMEVIDEOS That's how you listen to music? If you don't feel it about Porcupine Tree why are you still listening in the first place lol? Oh well, you do you I guess.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
I totally agree 👍
Steven Wilson considers this song to be the most common and weakest song on the album :D
@@lashasamkharadze6755 Nope. He actually likes it very much.

That's a powerful statement. Although it is an absolute banger.

Such a beautiful song!! Wish they'd make more tunes as magical as this one 💜
Steven carried on after split. th-cam.com/video/ycYewhiaVBk/w-d-xo.html
Never Have is another of my favourites, and Collapse Light into Earth
This is one of the best pieces of music ever written.
I miss all those people who once were held a very dear place in my life, time has seperated us but I will always remember you.
What a metaphor for life. Summers keep slipping away. Like our youth. Deep 🤯
Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head
Always the summers are slipping away
60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, radiant blur
Scars in the country, summer and her
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
Hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
Always the summers are slipping away
Always the summers are slipping away
¡Gracias! 🍷
I'm dying of love...
...
I'm decades past this, why does it still hurt?
Damn I love that solo 😭compliments this already beautiful song so well.
"i'm dying of love It's OK"
🙃
It's been 20 years, I'm not even recognizable as the same person I was, thank God, and I still can't help but be wracked with sobbing tears because of this one line...
I'm dying of love
I just discovered Porcupine Tree a few days ago. I knew they existed but I had never listened to them. Brilliant stuff
Yes. Me too. 6 years ago.
Lucky man !
I've just discovered this band thanks to an Italian artist that said that their works were inspiring and beautiful.
He was right.
Who was the Italian artist?
not that I am complaining, but In Absentia would come to my mind as the last record on my list that needed extra polishing haha; always tested new headphones or speakers with it, and the dark side otm... anyhow, love the extra crisp, pls make the reunion

I also test phones and speakers with this album. Testing with original version of the album.
trains and blackest eyes are where we will see the least difference. i am holding out for lips of ashes and .3
IDK, my copy of In Absentia is compressed to the max so I do not listen to it anymore... I hope it will not be the same with the remaster.
Just saw them on Saturday and they closed with this masterpiece. So glad they got back together to do something
wow last time i saw them was on the Incident tour in 2010 when i was in high school. Will try to catch them now.
I just found PT about 6-8 months ago. I first fell in love when I heard Arriving. I just HAD to hear more. Then I found In Absentia. So many gems, it blew my mind.

Hello… “Did you hear the news today?” :D
This album never gets old. They can remix it 100 times and I’ll be waiting to listen to it again! And again
I first heard this in middle school and I'm still wowed by this song. It just gets better with time.
This is a true masterpiece. Nothing comes close.
CLASSIC! Losing myself in this right now, always loved this album.
Best album I've ever heard. So nostalgic ❤
@Wender •• you are the best
This is an exceptional track - I discovered MANY years too late. Whenever I play it is played many many times on repeat.
One of their best songs
However it is, I am thankful to all PT for making these music together with which i can celebrate and cherish my life. Thank you PT and special thanks to SW.
love the extra snap of the snare
I feel like this every summer....
One of their best .
What a great song.
Hey you! Reading this comment, I know you secretly wish for Porcupine Tree to reunite!
"secretly" nope. begging at this point
Definitely not secretly haha
Of course I do, The Royal Albert Hall in 2009 was my last time seeing my Favourite Band Live so YES.
TBH, I'm indifferent. Porcupine Tree was fantastic, but I'm just as impressed with Steven Wilson's solo material.
So much!!!
Great feeling
Reminds me of my favorite film “Rumble Fish”
Tom Waits character says “when you’re young you have nothing but time, spend some here, some there. As you get older you realize you’ve got maybe 30 summers left. Think about it, 30 summers”
Benny!
I'll take them, gladly
60 ton angel

eh it ain’t happening. sorry.
Spruce Mouthman ah has Steven told you that Personality Mate? 🤔😉
PT is over.
Wow!! Can definitely hear the new mix. Gavin sounds glorious as per usual.
Going to see them today. Stoked! ;)
3:43 Always haunts me 💕
Brilliant!
Love it, love it, love it!
Always the summers, slipping away
Very talented boss song along with Arriving somewhere but not here 😎
60 ton angel falls to the earth!

One of my favorite PT songs and although it's GREAT here, it's even better the live version on here, I believe on the Rockpalast concert.
Heavenly, and such a great mastering ♥️
This masterpiece seems like the last part of Stairway To Heaven❤
under vodka, a tear chokes out, excellent work, great author!!!
My subwoofer is working overtime 😁
WOW
Forgot about this

Why you ashamed to type this?
@@bartalan9028 Because I don't usually leave comments on TH-cam.🙂
들을 때마다 전율이 이는 곡임 ㄹㅇ
Ordered the box set but also now pre-ordered the 96 HD FLAC from Qobuz - under a tenner!
Steven Wilson - Musical genius!
Mais um golaço do Procupine Tree!!!!!
The Legend.
How much longer will the delay in release be?
Só vim conhecer o PT durante a pandemia e sou grato demais pelas músicas lindas.
those claps makes me think of something else..I hate my mind.
Lmao me too
Bro..
What? Lol tell me I want in
What the hell happened to that snare drum?
yay!
Yay!
I really can't understand the first line
Is "train set" an item or a phrase used to refer that the train is set on the railway?
Also what does "spied" mean in here? I'm assuming it's referring to the act of concealing and carrying something secretly, in this case, I'm assuming the "train set" and "match".
Even if I were to understand the syntax of this sentence I still think this is the most mysteriouys line lyrically and lexically in the song.
I like the song, but the acoustic guitar in the verse sounds really similar to something I heard in a old Jethro Tull song. For an example of the area I'm talking about, listen to 0.00 through 0.38 on the counter.
So who do we speak to about replacing the screwed up Blurays from the new Porcupine tree In Absentia Box? Grrrr
Snoodler69 did you not get the email from Burning Shed that said they are aware of the mistake and all of us that bought the Deluxe box set will receive a correct Blu Ray in a few weeks.
So just hold on. 😊
remastered in 5.1 i hope
This album on DVD-A was/is one of my favorite albums of all time. Not even DSOTM or Downward Spiral topped it, and I craved those.
@@Jesterselv Yeah it's top tier for sure. Reanimation by LP is pretty cool with some of the ways they split the music across the rears, and the Pink Floyd stuff aint bad, but yeah Steven's mixing on PT and whoever does Trent's stuff is amazing at it. Muse and Rammstien aint bad either.
@@CyPhaSaRin Yeah, I have "Reanimation" too. You're right, that had some great surrounds too.
Doesn't sound like this is the remastered track?
You do all know that this remaster is not new as such it's Steven Wilson's 2017 remaster that is on the new Deluxe 4 disc edition.
Please explain
@@Jesterselv It's not hard to understand the remaster on this release is from 2017. Go to the Kscope page where it's for sale, everything you need to know is on there. kscopemusic.com/artists/porcupinetree/

Yes, it ships next week. Go to Burning Shed’s website.

Jesus, Ive never heard a song react so badly to the speed up feature
Why would you ever wish for this song to end any faster?
@@imover9999 I like to manipulate the speed of the songs If Im feeling it. Porcupine tree songs are all way too slow for my taste, so I speed them up.
