Steven Wilson: “I'm very proud of the video for Permanating. As soon as I wrote this song I had it in mind that Bollywood dancing would be the perfect accompaniment, such a joyous form of dance for what is probably the most joyous pop song I have ever come up with. I hope it will put a smile on your face as it does for me.”
Permanating was directed by Andrew Morgan for Electric Light Studios.

The irony of life:
Steven Wilson makes sad songs all his life, and nobody bats an eye. One smile, and everyone loses their minds
Hows... that ironic?
Could it be an indication that we often spend a lot of time treading water that, when someone shines a light, we gravitate towards it as a dose of forgetfulness of our troubles?
Permanating is a good song.Ya'll are obnoxious prog dickheads who are too depressed to have fun
Jay Cockerham unnecessarily philosophical....
it's all part of the plan
- Makes pop song
- Still puts Mellotron in it
I love this man.
Steven likes Mellotrons more than drummers are requested to add more cowbells
I ain't SW if you don't have either a mellotron or a reference to trains.
*the scratching of a mellotron, it always seems to make me smile…* - steven
you and me both
The end of the video is like "Enough happiness for today".
XD
=))
Dammit :( I was feeling so happy and that kick my face. :( its just momentary haha
MechDvil 7 next: Heart Attack in a Layby 😂
lmao
For decades now, Steven has been saying pop can be beautiful when well-made. Finally showed what he was talking about.
The ABBA is strong in this one!
I hear more Flash and the Pan
DaveMoustache It sounds like ELO and i like It!
Yeah, that's why we have ELO albums!
The Beatles too
Supertramp anyone?
Four chords that made a million
Excellent ref.!
Four chords can be enough. It's the progression and cadence of those chords that matters.
As much as the sounds like pop, it's not the same four chords that you always hear following major scale functional harmony. I don't like this song, but the only credit I can give it, is that it has a creative chord progression with chromatic movements and interesting modulation.
That reference applies more to Nirvana than Abba for example.
Steven smiles in this video? Steven Wilson smiles in this video
Abhisek Das yeah, I had to take a pic to believe it...
These are not good times brother *smh*
My thoughts exactly. He does.
He does! Outrageous! 😉
Of course being surrounded by a harem always helps.
And this is what pop was SUPPOSED to sound like...
What Coldplay wanted to be like but failed miserably.
@@samuelng6441I agree with you. They eventually failed. But commercially...........yeah
A-fucking-men
"Steven Wilson smile, take 632.... Action!"
Fierce Brosnan 2:23 😅
Steven is so beautiful when he smiles ❤ sigh
1:46 Steven starts the guitar solo with the pedal. That's how good he is. :D
PT was all Steven Wilson. Every guitar riff. He's an awesome guitarist.
Lol!
Steven Wilson is smiling, what the fuck did this world come to?
Hassan Laith - the more the world goes to shit, the happier SW becomes.
Xylem1 I think he find beauty in things that are melancholic, but he's not that cynical.
Overall things are the best they've ever been. www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2014/12/the_world_is_not_falling_apart_the_trend_lines_reveal_an_increasingly_peaceful.html
Hassan Laith he couldnt stop because of these beautiful girls
I know... I thought his heart was only made of hatred and despair... dafuq is wrong with him smiling lol
The ending is to remind you that "No, so much happiness should not be allowed to continue".
its more like" im dissapointed on how this video ended up being like"...search for his interviews of the prior ideas he had
Steven Wilson is now literally becoming the synonym of "Creativity" !!!
Varun Dixit hell yeah
So apparently this song is very different from what this guy usually does. Well as someone who has never heard of this guy before, let me tell you this song is absolutely BRILLIANT. I feel like it's an awesome mix of many influences, but I can't quite figure out which ones
Did you listen to some of his other stuff since this comment?
I know why he took Bollywood dancers, because they dance barefoot!
Picture Anime Oh... that's...oh...
That's one hell of an observation!
So Steven's barefooted-ness won't be as out of place
Nobody dances barefoot in Bollywood. :/
What? Has Steven got a foot-fetish?
Even the disco/pop side of Steven is fckin brilliant.We can hear influences of ELO Bee Gees and Supertramp.For me, everything that Steven touches becomes pure gold
And I listened to this again (for like the 20th time!!!) and heard some Beatles in there...🥰
@@heathercollins4432definitively it has The Beatles vibe
ABBA For Sure
Abba, Supertramp, ELO..
You can tell he'd been wanting to do something like this for a good while. As for the notion that him abruptly closing the piano's lid and ending the song is a display of rejection towards pop music, or joyous celebration, or any positive feeling derived from anything that happens in the video, I don't think it's quite like that. You can tell by the way he writes about the song and the video that he is proud and happy about everything surrounding them. It feels more as if by lifting the piano's lid and playing this song, he opens the gates and lets out a good amount of the joy inside him, and for the duration of it he can show it and revel in it. He closes the piano lid and the song ends, and everything seems to disappear; we see him as serious and taciturn as we have always. But all of this joy is not gone, it's exists inside of him, and he can let it out whenever he wishes to. He just needs to pop that lid open again...
Agree - if you listen to the lyrics, the song/video seems to be really about how those moments of real joy in life are fleeting , and celebrating them while they are there - after the song is over, dancers disappear, and he shuts the lid abruptly like it's time to get back to his life as usual, musically . . .
Well i think it's obvious and fitting to the narative: Seize the moment, enjoy little things that'll make you awesome memories because while time is but a straight arrow, we can all our lives hold on to precious memories. The end is just a reminder how abrupt it all end for us. Be good, be happy, be silly. The guy know how easy it is to just embrace cynicism and negativity. I mean look at the average shitshow often youtube comments become.
on the first concert of the final part of the tour in lisbon he mentioned how he doesn not believe in the afterlife, and as such we should appreciate and live this life at the best as we can. So I guess this is Why he stopped renegating what he wants to do, even if it means doing a short happy song with all the typycal things from 80's pop
The piano closing is death. We have to be in the moment while we are here.
MUCH MORE LOVE AND POWER TO YOU WILSON. LOVE FROM INDIA !!!
Tu ye kab dekha kela
I may be a massive Prog Rock fan that isn’t into most pop. But I got to say, this is probably one of the most intelligently created pop songs I’ve listened to. It doesn’t sound like the same song the whole way through. It switches between something more akin to modern pop, and something more like a Beatles song. Helps to keep this feeling fresh and interesting, even if it’s comparably more simple than most of Steven’s catalog
1 Year Later: Well, I’m honestly in a very different place when it comes to the music I listen to. I’ve discovered that I actually quite enjoy pop music, the stuff you hear on the top 40 radio. I still adore Prog of course, but I’ve been expanding my horizons. This song has thus become even better for me. And no joke, it’s probably one of my favorite SW tracks currently
Wasn't a fan of it the fist time I heard it but I fell in love with it in context of the album, which I initially didn't like as well but fell in love with later in a similar fashion.
If you like progressive rock and pop music I recommend listening to progressive pop bands like ELO
Never missed a SW appearance in Australia. Took my wife (62 old) last year, Enmore Theatre - she liked the show, but said "It's very noisy", until Permanating came on - she was up dancing like a 20 year old!!! Loved this song.
You can just feel the song in the video. And you can even see Steven Wilson Smile
True that
Whats up Red Crab :D
All good Abhash Rajbhandari 👈
This smile is a pure.
Steven Wilson meets Abba meets ELO meets Bollywood.
Reminds me too of 10cc...
With Peter Gabriel and a dash of the Beatles for good measure.
For Bollywood it's not enough flower fields
And.... how does it make you feel? Or, does it?
Yes ELO and I sense a touch of Gerry Rafferty and also Supertramp.
What would be cool is if Mr. Wilson would write a good old fashioned country music song for his next album. It might piss a lot of you off, especially those of you that hate this song. But one thing is for certain, if he did write a good old fashioned country music song it would most likely be a very good one.
bro is spitting
He didn't get stuck with only one genre, he did them all.
Great song, very catchy.
This man is really really good. This song is beautiful.
LOL pissing off your fans with a kickass joyful song is METAL AS FUCK.
Bullshit it is
That smile ❤ Steven Wilson's smile lights up the room! He takes my breath away!
Antidepressants are some freaky stuff...
chainoad lol
It does wonders, doesn't it? He’s now married!
you actually made me laugh with that
I'm a big fan of Steven Wilson, and a deepest fan of all prog music (Yes, Genesis, K Crimson, IQ, Rush and a very very large etc.), and i just love this song. Any time I listen it I think about riding on a bike is a nice summer afternoon singing this song. I mean, any prog lover should be a good music lover and this is 100% that, just good music made to enjoy. If you can't do that, you may need medication...
Agree completely. If it's quality music that does something for you, that's all that really counts.
I'm afraid, I do...
Agreed. Genres are irrelevant. Good music should be appreciated irrespective of genre!
Absolutely adore this! People say he's "abandoned prog". No, he hasn't. He just made a pop record, because he can... because he's Steven fucking Wilson.
This comment is perfect.
and those of us who got into him because we liked PROG FRIGGING ROCK can skip buying this album...who the hell starts liking a band hoping they will completely change styles??
Is Voyage 34 like FOABP? Is No-Man like In Absentia? Is Storm Corrosion like anything? Steven Wilson has always been all over the map, yet always uniquely Steven Wilson. It's one of the things that makes him great. If he wants to get his inner ELO on, I say bring it. When did prog rock fans become so narrow minded and weirdly conformist?
musically I agree with you, but the video is completely uninspiring or original. Bollywood dancers have been done so many times. I like the song, but the video could have used a bit more thought. But in the long run, the videos for any song don't count for much. Just my opinion.
im doing the skipping part. ill try again next record. this one is just pure garbage though... except pariah..amazing song...
Release, release!!! Let it go! Great! No matter what they say! Love it! Abba, ELO whatever, to me it is STEVEN WILSON
I was still tapping my foot when he walked away. Love Steven Wilson.
3:18 that smile!
thank you for letting me see that smile
2:41 This smile!
3:44 speaks more than the rest of the song. The artist that he is, the video shows that he has secret dreams of playing something "happy" which is unlike anything he has played in the past and at 3.44 he has a sort of awakening that he revels not in joyous celebration but in his usual silent and dark contemplation.
I've got the same idea as well. Bulding a carear countercurrent to the music industry and fans' expectations must be quite suffocating. Hopefully it doesn't drive him into depression as the recent wave of suicides among artists its been quite tragic already 😢
I don't think he's making fun of pop music. I think he's embracing it for a moment and giving his spin on it. Why wouldn't he? I think it sounds great and pop
I juat saw him the other night at the Keswick in PA. He seemed to have so much fun performing "Permenating," and the crowd got really into it. It's a great reprieve from the melancholy.
Jack Doctrove It was a (Nice Dream), nothing wrong with that 😉
He knows how to write kick ass pop songs!
Loved how he ended the video xD
and that gorgeous smile at 03:19 ahh
It certainly is a gorgeous smile :)
Pop makes Steven Wilson happy, that's all that matters
Your mission has been accomplished Steven. Not only am I smiling ear-to-ear but can't get this catchy tune out of my head!
Oh man one of my favorite coaster TH-camrs is a Steven Wilson fan???? 😀😀
@@knappar Ha ha! Believe it or not but there are several coaster fans that love of all his work. Glad to see another one on here. :)
"Permanating"
Somewhere on the highway
With a luminous moon
Swimming after dark and then
Awaken to you
Hold on
Hold onto the minute
And sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold onto the minute
And feel it
Believe it
And time is moving on
And listenening to the song
We get older
Together
And every time we breathe
Another moment leaves us forever
To the nether
Hold on
Hold onto the minute
And sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold onto the minute
And feel it
Believe it
Permanating
Celebrating
Now we're levitating
High above the clouds
Yesterday
Is the place where all your friends will always
Permanating
Celebrating
Now we're levitating

Another moment leaves us forever
To the nether
Hold on
Hold onto the minute
And sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold onto the minute

Everytime I hear "levitating high above the clouds" I think
WHY doesn't exist a collaboration with Raja Ram, Simon Posford and Steven Wilson????
I don't really want to like this song...but it had me smiling and feeling positively energized while getting ready to head off to work. My resistance to Steven Wilson change is interesting to observe and gives me an opportunity to bust open my box a bit more :)
Victoria Paine Same here!
Kinda rude but true.
Are you from Romania?
Music is best when you let go of expectations and prejudice and just allow yourself to like what you like, regardless of genres or the history of artists in question.
It's only one song out of the many Steven has written with an energy like this and a feeling of joy throughout. It's unique, and people don't have to like it - they also don't have to call Steven a sell-out for making the music he wants to create.
This is pure Talk Talk with a dash of Prefab Sprout!
I've got to admit I didn't like this song at first but like the others on the new album it really grew on me after a few listens and now I absolutely love it. It was never bad just different so it took some getting used to. Happy songs from SW are still a little weird for me but I love seeing him have some fun. I love Bollywood dancing too. Awesome job on the song and video!
Smiles look good on SW. :) I couldn't help but smile too when he flashed that cute little smile haha. When I saw Porcupine Tree live about 7 years ago he seemed so uncomfortable and didn't move around except for randomly moving his head up and down every once in awhile. When I saw his solo tour last year I was shocked by how upbeat and comfortable he seemed. It was such a drastic change. He was happy, dancing, talking and just looked like he loved what he was doing. Don't get me wrong the PT show was absolutely AMAZING and it meant a lot to me to be able to see them before they called it quits but seeing him have fun in the other show changed the whole vibe and made it a even better experience. I'm glad he's making music that makes him happy. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album! :)
Exactly my thoughts !
Lucky you that you got to see PT live :D
Very Very Great ! Steven Wilson - The King Of Progressive Pop !
Joyful, colorful, upbeat, positive, totally bizarre especially for Steven Wilson...... perfect. When it comes to Steven Wilson, the one thing you can always expect is the unexpected.
Even in Steven's happiest sounding song, there's still a sense of looming darkness.
To The Bone reached No.3 in the UK Album Charts. Well done, Steven!
I just love Steven smiling and singing and rocking this song ♡
Hat's off for having the balls to make a song and video like this. And also, spectacular video and really well put together song. Steven proving he is a thoroughly good producer and song writer, no matter the genre
The true Wilson surfaces at the end, and the amount of black hints that he's always there!
International popstar Steven Wilson
Nice reference ;)
This is a great song that should have been bigger than it was.
Electric Light Orchestra vibes, anyone?!
And ABBA´S with Mamma mia
Saw him last night in Chicago. Crowd booed after he played this.
I find it funny how people get annoyed when their favourite artists try something new - as if they are only allowed to produce one type of sound! Get over yourselves and embrace the fact that artists like SW keep things interesting by exploring their creativity. This will probably never be my favourite track, but it's nice to hear something different and I'm glad he wrote something inspired by his pop upbringing :)
It's not something "new". It's something "middle-of-the-road-shit". Bet it took him an hour to write it, tops.
Viyasan Arulrajah People into progressive rock should love this! He is just progressing into another style. Wich is amazing I think and he is doing perfectly. Great piece of art. People got stuck somewhere in the midlle that they are not able to look around anymore wich is part of the general theme on the album. See ya!
"I don't like this kind of music therefore it is shit and easy to produce" is a pretty infantile stance to take. If that were the case everyone would sound like Jamiroquai.
Once in awhile a splash of cold water in your face will snap you out of a groove. This song is that.
And perhaps it's just for a laugh.
It sounds like mid-90s summer pop, which is pleasant enough, but has absolutely nothing to do with why I listen to Steven Wilson. I listen to Steven Wilson because he is different to the mainstream, and this is just mainstream. Looks like he enjoyed doing it, but I hope he doesn't do too much more of this. There's loads of this sort of thing around if that's what you want, but Steven Wilson's talents are way beyond this.
Steven Wilson can do anything
This song is dripping with Tears for Fears!!! Joyous
That's the definition of beauty
Once again Steven proves he can do whatever he wants musically and if the mainstream pop world ignores him so what! There's plenty of fans that ignore the mainstream pop world too! More power to you Mr. Wilson.
He's just proving to everyone that he can do the crossover if he wants to. IMO, he's another creative genius like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. You can't keep either of
them in a box.
Hats off to the meaningful ending... reflects so many things.. Wilson U beauty ......
ELO + Coldplay ... I'm still tapping my foot. Love it!
and also ABBA... Steven is a genius, he can create all kinds of music !!!!
I don't hear Abba at all. Not sure where everyone is getting this from apart from the interview he gave that someone suggested it. It sounds more like Coldplay and New Radicals. Just another cool song with a cool falsetto "hook".
INTERNATIONAL POPSTAR
Awesome work Steven Wilson!!! Bollywood dancers ! Love from India. Come back again to India!! At 3:41 "done with this thing" . haha
nikhil mahale actually they're bollywood dancers from London !
Siddharth Kulkarni yes I know it my friend.
Hope he visits India soon again!
Arpan Majumder he will, 2018
agentguitarstar5 That's great! Any source for the information?
The ending always cracks me up. "Ok that's it no more."
This tracks so much fun and full of joy. Bring on the LP
I think that all Steven's fans from India should be pleased now - first tour and now this.
Permanating
Here I go again
Permanating
How can I resist you?
This man knows how to write a song.
Steven pulled an Invisible Touch....and I am definitely okay with that!!
Spot on! I've been wrecking my mind what it reminded me of.
Everything he touches turn Gold!
Hard work, persistence, Knowing your craft, talent.
Steve is the definition of these things. I was obsessed with this guys musical ventures back in the 90s, especially Porcupine Tree. Well done sir, you're finally going to the top. It only took 30 years.
That abrupt end tho. "Enough positivity"
Just bought and listened to the album start to finish ..thank you Steve Wilson for blessing us with your amazing music I have been supporting since he start of porcupine tree and this shows true progression . Extraordinary
The most consistent and best songwriter there is. .....bar none
ABBA + Supertramp + Elton John x ELO - 99% Steven's dreams = Permanating
The thinking mans popstar...amazing intuitive heart chords,he really is an believable artist who understands the Synergy of spirit, soul, heart, mind and aliveness...
Steven always tries to expand my musical tastes, and somehow he always succeeds.
Goosebumps.
Hey dance, Joy, Rythm, These are human émotions ! We can t spend. Our lives without love and freedom. Who can live always in deepness and pain ?
Missed your India tour, but the song compensates everything. Thanks you SW.
3:41 When Steven realizes he just wrote a happy song
Oh God save us! Steve made an upbeat pop song!
Steven changing his sound shouldn't come as a surprise. He has never belonged to a specific genre. If you are familiar with his back catalogue you will be aware of this. I happen to be a fan of all his work, be it his early Psychedelic records such as 'Up the downstair' or more recent records like 'Insurgentes'. They are polar opposites, just like his new record will be, but they all sound good to me. Even this track. It's fun, lighten up!
I commend any artist that looks to expand their boundaries, especially when everything they touch turns to gold time and time again. That really is a sign of talent. Besides, If you're not a fan of his latest work then you can always relisten to his previous records that made you a fan in the first place. May I suggest 'Moonloop'? You might find yourself calming down ;-)
This is just a step down from PT's more poppy stuff though. Compare it to The Rest Will Flow for instance
You're good at pop Steven, it comes naturally to you.
How is this any more pop than songs like "Pure Narcotic" or "Rest Will Flow"? It's not like he hasn't done this before, he just goes through different phases and inspirations, like any good musician should.
It's not that it's a pop song. It's that it's a bad pop song. Subjectively.
I'm afraid the songs you've mentioned were way better... :(
And HOW could we forget Perfect Life ?
Steven smile cures cancer
Currently my fave positive feelgood song of 2019 Beautiful lyrics with inspired guitar solo in the middle. A true modern pop classic.
Steven wilson is a walking, talking , breathing, singing onion. He makes you cry, even with his beautiful and rare smile- He makes you cry..... These are tears of joy but i still count them as crying :P
GOD FUCKIN DAMMIT, HE SMILED!
He is a musician and a creative one so you can't expect him to keep writing and playing in same field and stories as previous Albums or PT's vibes.
his music = his emotions and his mind = The lyrics and the music. this is like an oil paint and the lines merge together.
this is not "pop" obviously .. and he doesn't belong to any genre anyway.
this is as classic as ABBA and it deserves to be appreciated.
he is enjoying singing this , the beat is so good , the lyrics simple and joyful and the video is just beautiful and he is being himself. :)
I like this song!!!
I've been spoilt by only hearing of PT about 2 years ago and catching up on all their music.
Then you add in SW solo work to catch up on and I'm in music heaven.
SW truly is a phenomenal artist and I thank him for it.
Awwwwwwwwwww lovely Steven
3:44 - "Fuck it, this is ruining my depression"
I like the ending of this video. Steven's like "Ok back to the darkness"
The best part is: 3:42
Birtan Demirel it was just so unexpected lol
Perfect pop song
This is better than sex! But that is of course I don't know what sex feels like, I'm a progger.
ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha you won :D
Saad Mazher what the absolute fuck?
You never stop, it's amazing
You're a sad piece of shit, Saad.
+Randy McKinley and you sound like a real sweetheart.
Glad to find Wilson got inspired so much from the Indian tour. The colors, the moves, the jovial backdrop are so Indian. It's like rediscovering Steven to a different realm of existence. Awesome.
I love everything about this video. It's my favorite song on To the Bone. So catchy and upbeat and yet, in SW's way, over a bunch of unusual chord voicings, plus a really nice guitar solo. And then to top it all off, those supremely adorable ladies dancing in the video!
