It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes there’s line-ups that are just flawless. This era of Porcupine Tree is one of them. Right down to the little things like just how well Wesley’s voice compliments Wilson’s.
That's the awesome Colin Edwin ! Believe it or not, I have a friend that looks just like him, even his wife was amazed ! He has got to be the coolest bassist ever!
+TheDonutAddict Colin's always so in the zone. Even when they're going hard, he still has his eyes closed and a smile. He leaves reality and enters a whole other plane of prog :^D
People used to think that if you take a photograph of someone it captures their soul. And whenever I watch this concert I feel like it's kinda true. It's beed 17 years but I can feel like this is a small snippet of someone's life. The band, the audience. They are all in different places now but this recording somehow made this moment immortal. It's like it was stopped in time forever.
If there's one song I don't get tired of listening to, it's this one. Everything perfect, melody, lyrics, arrangement. This texture that Richard makes with his keyboards is beautiful.
It''s weird. I always loved Buying New Soul, but since it was 'only' on Recordings instead of one of the 'big' albums, I regarded it as something of a second-tier song. But *this* of all songs was the one that made me go misty-eyed when they played it in concert during the recent 2022 tour. So good!
The following order, IMO for a teary breakdown- 1. Drown with me 2. I fail 3. Drawing the line 4. I drive the hearse 5. Collapse the light into earth 6. Buying new soul 7. How is your life today? 8. She's moved on 9. Arriving somewhere but not here 10. Fell so low
Dried up, a guitar upon my knee I should have sold out when the devil came for me Dig a hole and throw it out to sea Break the code, how happy I could be I still wave at the dots on the shore And I still beat my head against the wall I still rage and wage my little war I'm a shade and easy to ignore White wall, I had to paint a door I always find that I've been through it before Close it up and throw away the key Break the code, how happy I could be I woke up and I had a big idea To buy a new soul at the start of every year I paid up and it cost me pretty dear Here's a hymn to those that disappear
I remember the lyrics being this but couldn't find the reason why Steven chose to sing "Washed up..." instead of "Dried up...". (See 2:22 for reference)
I'm 23 and have been listening to Porcupine Tree for almost a year now and they never cease to amaze me. They're dynamic in just the right amount, they sound great in concert and their music is so diverse. It's one of those bands that have a magical touch to them.
This is how I would describe what I feel when I hear the intro - And my beating heart keeps racing on, fighting hard something it cannot see Fighting desperate, desperate to break free Not knowing where it wants to reach but to break free from these shackles that don't breach. So, close your eyes, and you will see It is you yourself, your own adversary And in that one moment nothing else remains, You can see them clear, those invisible chains. So hit hard, but still hit calm For that is the only way to do most harm Reach out, and grab what's yours to take You're perfectly composed, even with everything on the stake
One of the best PT songs ever ! Together with "Even Less" that can both be found on the RECORDINGS album. Actually the original RECORDINGS album was limited to 20,000 CD's and, believe it or not, composed out of B-side material that didn't make it on to the STUPID DREAM or LIGHTBULB SUN albums. I do agree that some of PT's B-sides, EP's and rarities are also some of the best songs they have ever made. Fortunately RECORDINGS is now available again in a nice digibook format again ;)
Gosh! The arrangement of this song is just mesmerising, it's one of my favourite songs of all time and this live version is phenomenal! Thank you for capturing this so beautifully!
Or Perhaps, On the contrary, they are the ones who felt related the most with every lines, so they just couldn't handle the hatred within. I wonder, if it is some kind of dualistic contradiction, for that we always get an elusive misunderstanding from without.
Did someone else notice Steven sang "Washed up..." instead of "Dried up..." as in the original lyrics. (See 2:22 for reference) If anyone knows please spill the beans. It's 'a shade' but not 'easy to ignore'. Love and cheers to all PT/SW fans out there. 🇮🇳
@@dyotakgiri79 It is magical, no doubt about it. Steven's thinking intrigues me as he doesn't do anything without a reason. It surely was intended to be like this for some reason.
Wesley playing from 5:42 to 6:06 has a Paradise Lost vibe in it, and in fact reminds me of one of Greg Mackintosh's sublime solos. Great, great stuff. This song is wonderful but then again it's hard to find a bad song in PT's catalogue.
Steven should bring John Wesley in permanently. He is an incredible guitarist and his backing vocals are flawless. Can’t wait to hear the new album, although it does kinda suck that Colin Edwin won’t be involved.
This is one of my favorite PT songs. I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it. The melody at the beginning is particularly beautiful and haunting.
This song is all sorts of feels. It's hard to imagine another song even from the PT catalog that inspires this level of emotion. The musicianship as always is unparalleled but damn that atmosphere set by Barbieri from 00:01 right to the last note! Special shoutout to John Wesley's solo - possibly one of the most underrated solos from the PT catalog again but SO damn powerful!
Totally agree, I think it suits every musician today. Unfortunately music is dying (at least, the one made with instruments). For example here in Italy even after posting several announcements I could not find 3/4 other guys who wanted to play with me, simply because (at least here) no one studies music anymore, they all go singing their trap songs with stupid lyrics (Italian ones are really ugly, just read the translation of any song by sfera ebbasta which is a popular trapper here in Italy). I mean, I respect every kind of music but I'm so sad that genders such as prog, metal or rock are disappearing. My dream was to form a Porcupine tree cover band and I never could...
@@samueledangelo6163 I couldn't help but bring up the name of another band that I adore: Poets of the Fall..ur username suddenly put it into my thought. They r one of the few English-language bands I listen to at all the times; very unknown but incredibly talented group of musicians much like PT. Their music is very diverse from album to album and they're mainly Alt rock based hence huge difference in the kind of music b/w them and PT. But the similarity is that unlike many other bands/projects of modern times, they really put their efforts, time, mind and soul into the music they create. Maybe it's bcs I'm a bit biased towards them but I think the lyrics of their songs are among the best in recent times and the lead vocal Marko's voice is almost that of an Angel! Sorry for the rant!
@@MrPopo-cn2xl OH YEAH DUDE, I thought i was the only one who knew them but seems like I was wrong. Yeah I love them, discovered this band years ago with carnival of rust, me and my old band absolutely fell in love with that song and we played it
Scarred as we are, ugly to our own selves, hoping to be beautiful to others, Yet we persevere, hiding in a guise, distracting ourselves with glittery distractions, All the time wishing there was some way on earth, to buy a new soul.
An absolute award winning composition. Few things are as satisfying like that face melting solo near the end. These dudes are true masters of their craft.
Legend says that the bassist fell into a river of happiness as a child
System of a Tool too accurate. Edwin always looks like he's having the time of his life.
and some say he's still happy to this day, rumor has it.
Jealous
I envy that
with Gavin Harrison on drums one have to get happy. He just have such a ggod sounding kit.
The intro is just out of this world. One of their best songs for sure.
Richard Barbieri !
Totally agree, one of the best intros of all time and specifically this version.
I think it is one of the most beautiful little melodies I've ever heard.
Thats what I say anytime I listen to any of their songs lol
that's true
Colin Edwin should be back with Porcupine Tree. They can’t just simply say that there’s no place/role for you before the reunion.
Agree completely, the reunion concert at Wembley was great but it lost a bit of soul without Colin’s playing
Takes me back to when I was unicellular organism inside my mother's womb.
Good times...
5micky2 This! :D
Prasanna Dahal The sperm ride was exhilarating
I don't need to buy a new soul, this song gave me a new one right at this moment for free.
+Henry Ater Maybe on a porcupine tree album
I feel the same
Same here !
2024 and the 400th comment. 10+ years listening to this song and still it makes sense
The intro connects me to the time when I was still stardust.
It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes there’s line-ups that are just flawless. This era of Porcupine Tree is one of them. Right down to the little things like just how well Wesley’s voice compliments Wilson’s.
I love the way that they all watch and wait during the intro, and Steven's acknowledgement is lovely.
I have not seen this level of sound synchronisation in my 60 years of listening.
Oh my god ! This band.
Yep. I sure wish they'd get back together...pure magic. At least they put out a lot of albums.
that bassist must be the loveliest musician ever! I love how he smiles every time he plays music. A true passionate bard, I'm telling you! :)
+TheDonutAddict I have always believed the same! Haha, I love his gestures when playing music.
+TheDonutAddict The most beautiful soul musician... One of the bests at least, he really enjoys his work
That's the awesome Colin Edwin ! Believe it or not, I have a friend that looks just like him, even his wife was amazed ! He has got to be the coolest bassist ever!
+TheDonutAddict Colin's always so in the zone. Even when they're going hard, he still has his eyes closed and a smile. He leaves reality and enters a whole other plane of prog :^D
I always think that he is high as a kite :P

lovely way to describe it!
If there's one song I don't get tired of listening to, it's this one. Everything perfect, melody, lyrics, arrangement. This texture that Richard makes with his keyboards is beautiful.
Collin is the most chilled musician I've ever seen. Always smiling and playing with his eyes closed.
4:57 is one of the coolest shots ever
I actually prefer this version. Loved it for years
addicted to porcupine tree
PT, is simply the best rock band of the last ten years. Creativity, simplicity and harmony makes the band remarkable, without any TV circus.
Sidnei Marques that's exactly the matter I always think about
10? More like 30.
@@srbkosovo9810 Radiohead?
old comment, they haven't existed for 10 years. Life isn't the same.
Actually the Best Rock Band I think in the Past 25 Years!!!
Why Barbieri is so fucking amazing at making those noises?
He is most likely the main reason why I prefer PT over SW's solo-stuff. And Gavin and Colin ofcourse.
fleskip yes !!!!!!
...and Wesley too!
Lol
You guys..
Flea kip I totally agree his playing is so subtle yet adds so much to the feel of the music
I've always loved the way the keyboard is reflecing through Richard's shades.
I can’t believe I listened to this for years and this the first time I press like...
22 avril 2021 ❤
Never expected them to play this in Milwaukee on their C/C tour. I was blessed, amazed, and in awe.
Colin Edwin (bassist) always look like he woke up from a peaceful nap, just after eating two pieces of apple pie.
I would have never expected to hear this song live in their new tour 😂
Amazing experience
They did not play it in Rome and I’m still not over it really
It''s weird. I always loved Buying New Soul, but since it was 'only' on Recordings instead of one of the 'big' albums, I regarded it as something of a second-tier song. But *this* of all songs was the one that made me go misty-eyed when they played it in concert during the recent 2022 tour. So good!
I thank the almighty for bringing me in the era of PT...
5:05 This keyboard solo is amazing . What a creative sound by Barbieri
The talent here is incredible....
The intro is so beautiful, it makes me wanna cry.
The guitar solo isn't too far behind as well.
+Ishmin Singh Me too, I cry when I listen to a lot of PPT songs, oddly enough the harder rocking ones. I cry when I listen to a lot of Zeppelin :)
+Ellen Cox Yeah Led Zep are true masters of their art! For me Radiohead and PT are real tear jerkers. :)
Oh yea, Radiohead is so emotional I can't even listen to it when I am in certain moods! Nice to meet a likeminded music lover :)
The following order, IMO for a teary breakdown-
1. Drown with me
2. I fail
3. Drawing the line
4. I drive the hearse
5. Collapse the light into earth
6. Buying new soul
7. How is your life today?
8. She's moved on
9. Arriving somewhere but not here
10. Fell so low
Can't believe you didn't mention Russian on Ice.
Key board player just gets it sooo right everytime.
The most beautiful live recording I've ever heard, I've played it endless times, and will endless more...
That piano outro is so hauntingly beautiful...somehow touches some long lost thing of past .
This, is the best performance I have ever seen. Wow.... Its a moment frozen in time. Its like the world stopped honestly.
One of my favourite PT performances ever. I want to swim in this song
Phenomenal drumming, as usual... Especially the pre-solo section from 04:36 to 05:08
Heavenly as usual. PT are flawless live
Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
I should have sold out when the devil came for me
Dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Break the code, how happy I could be
I still wave at the dots on the shore
And I still beat my head against the wall
I still rage and wage my little war
I'm a shade and easy to ignore
White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be
I woke up and I had a big idea
To buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
Here's a hymn to those that disappear
I remember the lyrics being this but couldn't find the reason why Steven chose to sing "Washed up..." instead of "Dried up...". (See 2:22 for reference)
lol. Thanks for the lyrics. Always thought Steven was singing wave at the ducks on the shore.
Richard is keyboard KING!!
Still one of my favourite Porcupine Tree tracks. How it never made it onto a main album still baffles me.
The drums in this song are so hypnotizing! What a great drummer
The gentle keyboard intro to this song should be looped so you can headphone it while looking out into a snow covered full moon night at 10,000 ft.
en mi opinión Steven Wilson es el mejor músico de la historia. Si hubiera hecho su carrera en los años 70, seria reconocido como tal
I'm 23 and have been listening to Porcupine Tree for almost a year now and they never cease to amaze me. They're dynamic in just the right amount, they sound great in concert and their music is so diverse. It's one of those bands that have a magical touch to them.
Vintage Porcupine Tree.

This Song makes me cry for me and all the humans of the heart. I’m down in a hole.
I saw this live in Toronto the past Monday, never heard this song before then but wow its great.
It‘s one of my favourite Songs
I have found my Nirvana. It is here. I am honored to be able to experience such talent. RESPECT!
My soul is in peace everytime I heard PT
+Raul Drummer I hope I am listening to them when leave this earth and hear them when I enter Heaven!
I hope that too my friend, it's the perfect antidote to my soul :)
This is how I would describe what I feel when I hear the intro -
And my beating heart keeps racing on,
fighting hard something it cannot see
Fighting desperate, desperate to break free
Not knowing where it wants to reach
but to break free from these shackles that don't breach.
So, close your eyes, and you will see
It is you yourself, your own adversary
And in that one moment nothing else remains,
You can see them clear, those invisible chains.
So hit hard, but still hit calm
For that is the only way to do most harm
Reach out, and grab what's yours to take
You're perfectly composed, even with everything on the stake

Sublime!!!!! The studio version is pure musical art!
all of my senses are captivated by everything that is going on in this video .. thank god something as beautiful as PT exits in this world..
The people who have disliked this song have no soul.
Or Perhaps,
On the contrary, they are the ones who felt related the most with every lines, so they just couldn't handle the hatred within.
I wonder, if it is some kind of dualistic contradiction, for that we always get an elusive misunderstanding from without.

Beautiful......., and voice😌
Been listening to Steven since the beginning! But never heard this song! Thank you Steven Wilson for all that you've done!
One (of MANY) my faves from the most awesome band EVER

Man, washing and drying go together. You cannot dry up a guitar before washing up a guitar
I have loved this video for almost a decade now - what an incredible performance.
Wesley playing from 5:42 to 6:06 has a Paradise Lost vibe in it, and in fact reminds me of one of Greg Mackintosh's sublime solos. Great, great stuff.
This song is wonderful but then again it's hard to find a bad song in PT's catalogue.
This sounds way better than the original recording ❤
Love the start of this song
This song speaks to my soul ❤
these people are divine, divinity throught notes and and feelings, a new school of progressive music
So beautiful!
just close your eyes and let the music take control simple yet beautiful......
Steven should bring John Wesley in permanently. He is an incredible guitarist and his backing vocals are flawless. Can’t wait to hear the new album, although it does kinda suck that Colin Edwin won’t be involved.
The drums between 4:40 and 5:05 are perfekt. Nobody can play this better

john wesley is the shit
+MrCookie31c cannot upvote that comment as many times as i'd want to.
His falsetto is flawless and guitar work is fantastic. Of course he wouldn't be performing with them if he wasn't phenomenal.

+Pete Abou he said John is THE shit, meaning, he is pretty fucking amazing ;)
Ahhh.... ok them... ;)
¡¡El arte de crear atmosferas!!

I still listen to this song.. so coo oo ool...
I still can't get over this song oh oo o....
Pure Gem❤️❤️
God, If only I had been there. magic show. great musicians.
should be more viewers more likes, this song is epic

One of my favorite songs by this incredable band.Fans of this should listen to Not the weapon but the hand by Richard Barbieri and Steve Hogarth!
It‘s so unbelievable good.
Saw this live. Was something to experience. It wasnt just sound. It was an experience.
I easily prefer this version over the original. It's the perfect length and the production is amazing
Completely lost somewhere between light and dark, where shadows make my playthings.
Porcupine Tree is all I need to get me through. K
damn i love this song. Masterpiece
Saw this song live this year. it was outstanding, got goosebumps all over and wet eyes :) AMAZING!
Fantastic, We need another tour Please Mr. Wilson
One of my all time favourite bands, seen them live twice ,absolutely brilliant
An absolute award winning composition. Few things are as satisfying like that face melting solo near the end. These dudes are true masters of their craft.
The way they play live the same way they play CD IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL...
If I played with this band I’d be smiling like that as well. This band is Top shelf
Az egyik legjobb banda ami létezik.
it is sad that this band will never play again. they were unique.
Steven recently said he thinks they could reunite for one album at least. I think they'll remember how good it was to play together
This song is pure magic. The lyrics just resonate within me. Gavin cleaned this song up so well too, such brilliance with each hit.
Andrew victorino His accenting is out of this world
Poetic lyrics.
Feels like I needed this song right now, reasonating with it so much.
Babicz Identity (Dreadnought Cutaway). Great guitar, I love mine.. ;-)
It is just the best prog rock band of all time, on one wave with Pink Floyd
You said to listen to this when I miss you, so here..
one of my top favorites from PTree! Excellent!
Grande musica grande interpretazione della batteria
