Taken from my new album 'To The Bone', 'Song of I' represents a darker and more electronic side of the album, and is a duet with Swiss singer Sophie Hunger. The video stars performance artist Maya Petrovna and was directed by Lasse Hoile.

And King Ghost to seal the deal! :D
@@kreiontresadenn5633 I couldn' t find King Ghost.Where can I listen it?
Song of I is a lot better than The Future Bites so far though.

About Steven wilson's changing style of music,he said himself about that in the Rolling stone interview-
'' I think the responsibility of every true artist is ultimately to be selfish, to make something that they themselves believe 100 percent in and not to ever think about what other people want from them. No one is going to tell me that Picasso painted paintings to please other people, I don’t believe it! I think great artists make things in a very selfish way, and lesser artists think about their fans and try and provide something to please them. For me, those people are not really artists, they’re entertainers. I don’t mean that in a patronizing way; I have a lot of respect for people who can entertain. But being an artist is all about being selfish, about being true to yourself.''
Pretty much sums it up.
One of the reason why I love steven wilson
actually this song reminds me "sign o' the times'
he is absolutely making something to entertain people ... and its so unfortunate to broke to mainstream.
you just need to take a glance over his recent works... they are more pop than his blackfield records.
Arsam Shamsi hey man, the hipsters are angry that you stole their "I liked them before they where cool" act.
sorry i didnt get your point. im not a native speaker so ...would you explain more a bit ?
Joni Mitchell had a similar quote: "That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!' You know? He painted it and that was it."
Miles of Aisles (1974)
he is a fucking legend... rock, metal, prog, psychodelic, pop, eletronic, he can do whatever he wants and its always AWESOME
Damn, this is good. I’ve listened to about 2 million artists ever since Carol King, The Four Tops, Van Morrison, Rory Gallagher, GFR, Doors, Grateful Dead, Zappa, Floyd, Beatles, and everything up till now. 65 and still listening to new stuff, and old stuff. Damn, this is good.
This is why Steven is so good, he has no boundaries at all ...
Damn. This mix is so good that it has a surround sound effect. The vocals are "right there" in front of you. There are strings and synth gates dancing around the room.
You get a splash of soundtrack, trance, industrial, pop, and symphonic music.
Randy Lott 8D is awesome
Randy Lott So true. Amazing on studio headphones too.
Steven Wilson is one of the few that does true 5.1 surround mixes. You can find this album in blu-ray audio with a 5.1 track.
There's very almost buried talking at one point. Doesn't anyone else hear it?
Also, it needs to be pointed out, just how Lynchian this beautiful video is. Best I've ever seen by LH.
Dolby Atmos....
if this is pop, then I feel relieved that pop is good now!
It's beautiful. I love how it's so different from his usual work, but there's still a distinctive touch...
Exactly. First time I let my gf hear this, I asked "do you know who this is?" she said "Steven Wilson? There's something about the music that makes me wanna say that".
I love how good artists can do that. Don't if you're into Opeth, but they have the same thing. Their latest albums are way different than the past ones, but if you hear the songs I always think "yeah, that's definitely Opeth."
You can always identify Opeth, be it Ghost Reveries or Heritage.
This mix is a masterpiece in it's own right. So is the arrangement.
Just discovered his music and I can say this man it's a genius :)
I am really glad to see Steven Wilson promoting his opus like this: more interviews, more media visibility, more visual content, more collaborations. His very creative and unique approach to the content he's creating needs every outlet available. He is very good and it makes me happy to see the people that have a strong creative capacity put themselves out there, in a manner that seemed to have been reserved only for "popular music artists" - also "artists".
Haunting. Get's better every single time
Exciting! I will follow Steven wherever he wants to go explore.
Michael Ackerfeldt won' t be pleased with Steven "exploring" without him...
Baum Kuchen x)
The strings on this song specially the section from 2:15 is mind blowing!
Absolutely genius! A god of chord progression !
This is what you get when you mix Pop, Prog and Art. Pure greatness.
Very "dark" atmosphere...I didn't expect this but...damm! This is very, very, very interesting and unique song. The "orchestral" session in the middle of the song is pure GOLD. Good Job!
Dark? Where? Unless you usually listen to Bieber then I guess so.
Either you have a very one-way mind or you haven't been listening. The lyrics aren't about love. They're about the obsession that comes subsequently.
I've never really liked his style of singing or his lyrics. "Tired of Facebook"? Wtf is that?
His music now... that is superb. Just not really keen on this direction and for me personally it's not dark at all.
Tired of facebook...Who isn't getting tired of the SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/FACIST dashboard that everyone is lured into oblivion.That's WTF that is...think...before it becomes illegal.
Brings me back to the movie 'The Cell', but I like it just like Blackfield, Porcupine Tree, and anyone/band, that Steven collaborates w/... Musicians can coexist in Studio yet people can barely tolerate each other in 'Life', and we also barely get along or treat Mother Earth w/very little Respect, just like people do when they hate someone or shame someone 4 being 'different', to be honest there isn't much that shocks me anymore, and it's sad people say Steven copied this or that, let's see those hater's collaborate some Original music... Not Easy, and Our Radio's are already spewing mostly 99.999% useless sound labeled as 'musical creativity... a monkey could play guitar and so can I, but I'm far from good enough to make a career/multiple albums, so lot's of people dream, but only Original talent keeps itself as a timeless classic:)
Till now only Akerfeldt was allowed to touch him like that.
hahahahahaha Oops!
True af
you made my day brother
Haha, nice one. :D
laugh so hard bro
This one is definitely a grower. Love the textures and layers and the mood they create. Sensual and menacing. I love prog for the complexity and the odd meters and the epic long tracks with lots of different movements, but what has always made Steven Wilson's work stand out is that underlying it all has been a masterful pop sensibility with great melodies, hooks, and melancholy beauty woven into his music. This is my favorite that's been released from To the Bone so far. Looking forward to hearing the rest!
I'd never heard of Sophie Hunger so I checked out some of her work. She's brilliant.
Odd meter? i have a thing for the German Language so, naturally i fell in love With SOPHIE HUNGER right away teheee im so glad to know her, shes wonderfuL!
It's Steven Wilson, and it's great!
Goose bumps...The mid section of the song is intense.
This is music. this is Steven Wilson's music. forget about your prog, rock, folk, metal or whatever purist labels. this is pure genius. period.
It is defensive, over-glorifying and tunnel vision comments like these that make me develop a bad taste for this artist. Too bad, because the music is decent. "Pure genius"? You can't seriously mean that, over this song. What would you call musical works then, that actually are pure genius?
@@tfm2934 your taste, my taste. useless debate.
@@AveyroadOfficial Ah yes, taste. Well, there is good and bad taste, but my comment wasn't about taste. Your comment clearly addresses others and tells them what they should believe. "Forget your this and that, pure genius period" etc.
@@tfm2934 don't be mistaken, I did not mean to aggress anyone here. just try your sense of humour, why dont you :) relax .everybody likes what he wants. I was just saying many of the old PT fans should forget about the past sometimes, open ears and brains, and accept that anyone can change/evoluate in his musical path. that's all. Now regarding SW, yes, he is a pure genius. I can tell by my knowledge of his whole catalogue, Blackfield, Bass communion and others included. Not only Porcupine Tree and his solo carreer. these are facts. But if you don't like him, that's your problem, not mine, and of course, it is your absolute right. no more, no less.
it doesn't matter how good something is, and I think this is fine, adding "period" after an assertion of said goodness makes me disagree on principle. that's not how art works
This is perfection, again. And the video is more than disturbing and sensual. Think Mr Hoile doesn't realise how many fantasies he has awaken. Running the fingers through SW's hair. Not sleeping today.
Steven, don't stop. Keep making all the music you wish.
Love this so much.
Strings section to die for ♡
This is so 'Index', I love it!!!! The 3 new songs do far are very versatile. Steven Wilson really is the best musician ever.
Oh my god...when the strings come in. Heaven.
Wilson is one of my most favored desert island musicians. It's not just the song in itself; it's how he changes his work up over the years, it's the audible influences and tributes he freely and lovingly writes into his work. And in this case, every single thing about this track is flawless. From the performance to the cinematography to the soul of the work itself, it could not be better. We live in amazing times.
I don't care what anyone says, this is brilliant!
It's impressive how Steven Wilson can make every style its own style. This song is so soft and at the same time so funky.
True steven wilson fans know this is a lesser known gem!!
3 years later and you cant effing understand how genious this man is.... hes like a perfect blended.... you put in the blanks
There is something purely sinister about this song. Just amazing
that moment when you get a notification for Steven Wilson's song being uploaded!
This is just...breath taking. Whatever Steven does, turns into gold. And this is gold. Different? Whatever, still gold.
One of the best songs Steven has ever written imo
He is one of the few that can explore electronic and (dare I say?) pop sounds without losing his essence. I loved Pariah, Asylum is good and this is awesome, sounds like something Trent Reznor put his hands on. And f**k if he ain't like king Midas himself. Give Stevie a break, he ain't selling out, he just explores new sounds. Still, I can't picture this anywhere near the mainstream charts so I don't know what are you guys whining about.
This is like kinda the old pocrupine or insurgentes album stuff but with something new. I like it...
As a huge Steven Wilson fan and a huge Nine Inch Nails fan as well, this makes me very happy. Very happy indeed.
Everyday i wanna say Thank you Steven for the great music and for making our life much better with your amazing songs always!!!
Thank you Steven for daring to push the boundaries of your fan base. This is your riskier musical endevor so far and Its refreshing how you keep your artistic ambitions above your commercial ones. The safe bet would have been to make another prog record but this is so much more interesting and motivating.I love how in the three songs you've released so far we are listening to a whole other spectrum of a musician with a huge musical bag, this time ranging from Tears for Fears, XTC, Kate bush, Depeche Mide and so conCongrats!
i feel a bit of Depeche Modes " Ultra" and " Songs of Faith and devotion" era vibe both in music and video
Marek Nieweglowski thank you, that's what was nagging me about it! I was listening to Ultra only a few nights ago too!
that was my first impression omg and I love it!!!!
Marek Nieweglowski yeeees!
...and Massive Attack I would add.
True that.
Why Steven Wilson's music give us Goosebumps ? We know he is a legend and awesome but why its so good ?
What a nice surprise! I've listened to SW since this Porcupine Tree days. This song is AMAZING. Love the new direction, he's never failed to surprise me.
Steven Wilson listened a lot of Peter Gabriel of the 90s!
Beautiful reference
masterpiece.
the range of music this man covers is mind blowing. jazz to metal and everything in between .
This was something I wasn't expecting. Just wow!
This is in the grand tradition of what British Pop music USED to be. That golden era between 66 and 86 where experimentation was rife. The problem now is that Pop music is in the gutter creatively. This harks back to the early 80's when pop was a glorious melting pot of styles. Wilson has always been a fan of the era. Go listen to The The, Bauhaus, banshees, Tears for fears, Julian Cope and the greatest of them all, the transcendent genius of XTC. As XTC said 'This is Pop', but its bloody good pop.
The last great British record was in 1986 Pet Shop Boys 'Please'.
Good reference
Reminds me of Blackstar by David Bowie. This is good. Need more songs like this.
Music is the universal language of the human spirit, and Steven Wilson is right in there. Looking forward to listening to the new album.
New Wave 80's making a comeback lately.... Pumped!
This is not mainstream lol. Is exactly the style used frecuently by contemporary theatre, which is what is going on on the video for the people who call it "just weird shit". Dude if this was "mainstream" i would listen to the radio much too often. This is amazing work, and is always nice to remind Steve is able to compose the most diversity of genres
Phamtom y wayne it's more like art pop
Theatre is pretentious weird shit, since it's usually devoid of context. It works here though.
he kinda identified it as a "rap song" its not weird. And the Swallows Dance Above the Sun is fucking weird. Get some context fool
Amazing and creepy video. I introduced my sister into the new To te bone's stuff, thanks for that Steven! Now she admires you.
This guy blows me away! His vision, and sensibilities are so deeply informed, by the talents he has soaked up, combined with his work rate leave me in awe! NME said Devoto was the most important man in music, at that time I could not argue, Steven Wilson, is THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN MUSIC, now Bowie has left us! Genius!
02:37 What a transition! Fantastic!
I'm only seeing comments saying 'fuck people saying this is mainstream' but no actual comments saying this is mainstream...
Harambe the Sweet Prince same here
They're probably way down at the bottom, among the first coupla dozen comments, all written by nitwits who rushed here to trash the video because it doesn't run 20 minutes and sound exactly like Anesthetize.
They are probably all projecting.
Yeah - I almost want to post comments on those people - like "Um, everyone seems to love it, and nobody is calling it whatever it is you are saying they are calling it"
but then again - maybe they're just like - advertising bots or something?
IDK.
Or maybe people see the article where Steven Wilson says the album is going to be more "Pop" - and since they expect people to react negatively to that sort of thing - they just blindly start posting
weird times.
Yeah dude. There are even occurences where somebody wrote " Fuck off those who think this is mainstream" which then got a long-winded reply from somebody confirming that the song is indeed not mainstream. They disagree, but agree. Are these bots trying to distance this from mainstream, because...it's bad?
"A Jewish Tripod, this is my addiction."
Best start to a song ever.
A slow burner !! Stunning track. Wonderfully layered and a beautiful haunting feel to it. Greetings from Kerala, India 🙏
Wow, just utterly brilliant. Can't wait for the full release.
finally a song from the new one I can actually fall in love with without working hard :) this "darker and more electronic" direction really suits him. it sounds simple, but there is a lot of interesting subtle stuff going on.
The people who think this is "pop" or "mainstream" need to go out more
its Pop.... but its good :)
It's more trip-hop than pop... the structure is not really conventional and the atmosphere is verry dark, nothing to do with mainstream !
It's pop in the sense that it uses pop-ish claps and looks so I don't blame people for thinking that. Steven Wilson is just experimenting with that pop idea. It's kinda like how Marylin Manson did The Dope Show. So it's like a mixture of pop and art music. Just because Steven Wilson makes a song doesn't mean we should eat it up. I for one do not like this song very much but I get what he's trying to do.
I'm not a big fan of this song either, but let's be real. It uses elements of pop (mostly the beats, as you mention), but the scary creepy tone, the dark melodies, and the fact that it goes silent for more than a minute makes it impossible to ever get closed to be accepted as a pop song. It is definitely not mainstream because the melodies are too complex.
This is a bad song. I dont care what type is it.
No ideas, no inspiration. Αnother one shity song of our time. Shity copy-paste of the structure of the most shity songs (writted from shitty people who think their selfes as artists...) with some added elements.
Steven has once again captured my soul and my thoughts!!
Visuals Optics Genius, Stevens music is pure gold....I am blown away, by the visuals and sound ....I am really impressed...wow !!!
A Few Things To Be Noted:
1) An Amalgamation of Darkness and Pop. One of its kind
2) Versatility comes with Courage ("artists make music to please themselves, entertainers do it for others")
3) Biggest Example is David Gilmour. For Pink Floyd he used to shift to Psychedelic Rock but when he used to go solo his soul lied with Blues.
4) Criticism is coming from those people who have branded him as "The Prog God".
5) Let the entire album release. Let it all make sense.
6) The fact that he has been severely affected by the death of Bowie and Prince is pretty evident.
Well the first point isn't correct, I mean it sounds like a Nine Inch Nails song, certainly not one of its kind.
I'll take your refute as an opportunity to expand my perspective.
@@rebantoroy4721 Mature answer, respect. Though I will still pile on :) This song is anything but one of its kind.
This is wicked :O
Pure genius. Another perfect masterpiece of music, brought to you by the master himself. Go ahead, Steven, I follow.
Fantastic. True artist dont stay in the same way. Sorry for the music experts. I dont forget all discography and this is a fresh air with quality!
after hearing this, why do I feel that this Steven Wilson and Trent reznor collaborating would be a marriage made in something more enigmatic than heaven
Cool! There's a LOT going on in that mix
halleluia Mr,Wilson.... you did one happy music :)
Surreal mixing. Unbelievable!
pariah is still my favorite so far. however: EXCITEMENT TO THE BONE !!
im going to ask you, is that because its Steven Wilson? Or were you as amazed as I, that the most wonderful musician in the world is Ninet Tayeb?
@@savourymilkman8147 :D hehe. I'd say I don't care whos name is written on a piece of art. If it's made good, touches the soul, has a clear communication than that's what should make it someones favorite.
Anyone else smell a touch of 'Sleep Together' here?
I smell a touch of Shit
yes. After 2 listens of this song, I find it rather ....anticlimactic. Sleep Together is a lot more pronounced, and delivers satisfaction imo. This doesn't quite do it. There's also a strong touch of Index, but also doesn't quite hit the spot in the same way.
Definitely, the keys.
Index
Index and Abandoner too.
Imo, Steven's greatest song.
When a prog musician makes great pop music, it's a treat, because good pop music is good for ALL music. This album is awesome, it's been in constant rotation on my hikes. I love every song on this.
Love this one so much
whoa dude!
Wilson NEVER fails!
Awesome Steven ! Thank you
reminds me of NIN
Christian Martinez The strings remind me of The Great Below
Oh fuck yeah, that's what was going on my head!
Christian You're right, Trent voice fits perfectly here, he should be featuring in this one
would be really interesting if Trent and Wilson collab one fine day :)
I would die if that happened. 2 of my musical heroes.
I did not know Sophie before this but oh my is she a goddess!
1:42 This progression reminds me of If Only Tonight We Could Sleep by The Cure
Sublime. Absolutely love this. Bravo SW, again! Roll on next week and the album release!

Well , I'm old enough to remember when Led Zeppelin completely changed on their 3rd album ( Led Zeppelin III ) , and alot of fans hated it too. Only to love it more then ever. If there were computers back in 1970 , Led Zeppelin would have gotten crushed with bad comments too. I say Good Job Steven , I like It.
Now I'm even more exited to see him live next year!! knowing Mr Wilson the live arrangements of the new songs are going to be EPIC!!
Mind blowing!
If you've been following Steven Wilson's Spotify playlist you'll know he's been influenced by Trip-Hop such as Tricky and Massive Attack as well as brooding electronic soundscapes such as Raime. These are the most obvious comparisons to Steven Wilson's latest single.
With the influence of Depeche Mode and synthpop-era Bowie evident, the minimal techno / trip-hop approach of this particular song is pretty much contributing to the lyrical theme. The video's use of colors and unsettling movement of the lady as opposed to Mr. Wilson's stillness intensifies the disturbing sense it creates. It is one of the most disturbing things I've seen/heard in ages,in a good way.
Just listened to this , and Depeche Mode is what came to mind first. I wonder if Personal Shopper is a nod to Personal jesus
A musician and artist always has to explore in different directions!
This sounds amazing! I can't wait for the new album.
The Steven that refused to prog
hahaha genius!
LOL! Steven Wilson International Popstar.
i am loving this comment section
JAJAJAJ
It has the feel of intruder by Peter Gabriel I think
Simply beautiful
This is absolutely superb. Dark and mesmerizing.
Really have to get used to it, it's very different from Pariah (which is already one of his best song for me). Really looking forward to hear the whole album and how the album makes it a complete picture.
2:15 - 3:23 is so intense! Beautiful.
Music and art in a perfect combination ... WOW.
I love this song! Can't wait for the album. Love the video too.
