Don't you forget what I've told you
So many years
We are hopeless and slaves to our fears
We're an accident called human beings
Don't be angry for loving the baby
And say it's unreal
So many lives turned to salt
Like roses who're hiding their thorns
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is God
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise
In your room doing nothing
But staring at flickering screens
Streets are empty, but still you can hear
Joy of children turning to tears
Disease hides around every corner
Quiet, lay still
Wait for a moment to hear
We forgot what is touch, what to feel
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is God
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise
Take this pill, it will make you feel dizzy
And then give you wings
Soon, boy, you'll fall into sleep
Without nightmares, without any fears
If you wake up in hell or in heaven
Tell the angels we're here
Waiting below for a dream
Here in the garden of sin
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is God
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise
So many years
We are hopeless and slaves to our fears
We're an accident called human beings
Don't be angry for loving the baby
And say it's unreal
So many lives turned to salt
Like roses who're hiding their thorns
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is God
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise
In your room doing nothing
But staring at flickering screens
Streets are empty, but still you can hear
Joy of children turning to tears
Disease hides around every corner
Quiet, lay still
Wait for a moment to hear
We forgot what is touch, what to feel

Relayer: Congratulations! Porcupine Tree is back!!!!

I'm just going to have to rank Steve Wilson's projects in order of brilliance:
1. Porcupine Tree
2. Steve Wilson solo
3. Storm Corrosion
4. Blackfield
5. No Man
My point? While all the music is great, he is best with PT, and really should get the band back together.
and they did!
THAT'S why this sounds familiar. It's the dude from Porcupine Tree. Got it.

A beautiful cover for the Hebrew version, but I have to say that lately I'm disappointed with Aviv Gefen complying with ugly rules of the Israeli government and the green passport idea, which is a shame to all human kind.
I quite like this song, but the lyrics are somewhat distressing. The music fits the tone quite well, but the vision, if I may call it that, is more than a little disconcerting. I'm not dissing, but the dis is overwhelming in this piece.

I love this song; it really puts a spring in my step.
Love the synth work on this. SW has a knack for orchestrating and blending beautiful melodies with hard rock.

Natives, particularly young girls, have been disappearing at an alarming rate in north-central British Columbia.
Now just imagine if northern BC first nations reacted like the Israelis did just recently in the wake of the disappearance of 3 settler youths.
Killing pasty-faced crackers could be construed as righteous.

This song makes me wish for the end of the world...
This one is still my favourite Blackfield song.
In passing: I would love to see Steven Wilson and Roger Waters double-bill concerts in Israel and the West Bank.

That's true, indeed Steve Wilson is British... But I think he was talking about Aviv Geffen shouting at some point with his "frog-like voice" (his words, not trying to insult) and heavy Israeli accent...
True, doesn't work.

Hey Relayer, You just do not give up!
In terms of brilliance alone, I would place his solo work above Porcupine Tree.
In terms of broader audience appeal, I place PT well above his solo work.
In terms of economic return, a Porcupine Tree revival would really hit it out of the park. Would it be big enough to allow him to put musicians on retainer? Maybe not.
But then a PT revival—if successful—would likely bring more ears to his solo work.
Trying to see things from Steven's perspective.

I really like that song. It reminds me of a great time when I first heard it on RP.
I like Steven Wilson in all his incarnations. Blackfield was a decent band, but it belonged to Aviv Geffen. Look how far Wilson has come since this tune.

Bullies other countries? That is patently false. It’s the opposite. Other countries take advantage of the US in spades. China is a great example. US policy towards the evil socialist regime that occupies the prison-state of China is one of grotesque indulgence. The kleptocracy China runs its businesses in slave-like conditions and dictates the most unfair agreements with the US, all to the benefit of the mega-rich Communist party elites, and to the detriment of American workers. Our strategy has been promoting commerce between the nations in the hopes that the criminal Communist occupiers of the Chinese people will eventually crumble. It has not worked so far, but only someone with a childish, 3rd grade education would call that “bullying”. Europe siphons off billions in subsidies from the US taxpayer in the form of military aid (ever heard of NATO?). Our Canadian neighbors can rest peacefully at night and have a nice free healthcare system thanks to the US taxpayer’s generosity in footing the bill for our hemisphere’s security. Oh wait, excuse me, tell me, please, was there some imperialist Canadian agenda the US was thwarting that I did not know about? Tell me Mr. “Agent Orange”, who calls me a whiner (isn’t your screen name a whine about a war that ended 40 years ago (!) and did not even involve Canada? GET OVER IT!.), do you understand the distinction between a person whining and someone pointing out the brute fact that Canadians engage in venomous, anti-American hate speech all the time. I’ve been present at hate-fests like this. You can read them in the press. Typical Canadian whining about guns in the US: WAH! Some snobby Canadian echoing his aristocratic heritage who still after 200 years can’t stand the fact that America does not have an English Queen, who says our culture is “commercial” and “consumer oriented” WAH! You’re so full of it to say it relates to things like the NSA and Google and bullying. Liar. I’ve never heard a Canadian complain about China or the plethora of evil regimes, the real bullies, around the world.

Wow! This reminds me of my (English) sister in law's list of favorite things Americans have asked her. Number one being:
"You speak pretty good English for a foreigner"
My personal favorite:
"England huh?, what language do they speak? is it anywhere near Sweden?"

We've had a female prime minister, briefly. As she took over from the last right wing PM, she didn't get re-elected. And now we can only hope that our current right wing nut will get punted soon. He scares me.

I was humming this tune the other day while listening to the N. Korean Media.. Perhaps Bill should do the "this is only a test" transmission signal...followed by a scream and then silence.

It is indeed the End of the World for many partisan Republican supporters. Against all odds, I reckon that the mulatto president will be re-elected.
Bill Clinton gave one helluva barn-burner of a speech the other day......
That panning camera..... wow, what a contrast from the Republican convention. The Republicans should have won this election; it was theirs to win. Oh well. History marches on.

You can tell that the song is a bit of a dirge and boring - the comments go off topic so quickly - flames, political discourse .... anything to escape..... just proves that the world ends not with a bang but a whinge!
PS: Fred Riley, nice to see you are still here!

If your candidate loses the presidential election, I would just like to remind you that Canada is accepting US political refugees with open arms.
It doesn't have to be the End of the World. Start afresh in Canada.

I came to this thread to get opinons about the song. Bill would not approve of this political crap. Pull it together
and take it to the forum. End it now, please.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.
This scribe is writing from Canada. And I have travelled enough of the world and can read in enough other languages to know that the US presidential election campaign is given more coverage in the rest of the world than any other non-domestic election campaign.

Great song, I prefer this version over Aviv Geffen's.

I agree. I am very curious, and a bit anxious, about the future of PT, now Wilson has openly stated he's had it with metal as an inspiration. While I like Grace for Drowning a lot, it is also fitting with the output of Wilson in the last few years, i.e., very heavy, very difficult, and rather unenjoyable in a way.
The new Blackfield album is pretty solid and what we have come to expect from Aviv and SW.
What I am looking forward to is the new SW solo album that will be out in September (supposedly). The samples from that one sound better than anything since Deadwing, if you ask me. I haven't been thrilled by anything that SW has done in the last 3-4 years (PT is still my fav band though LOL).
I think he is spreading himself too thin and the material is suffering for it. He is rushing through everything and you can tell.

Oh Bill, you sly dog. Are you playing this on purpose, this second time that we're supposed to have Rev. Camping's predicted rapture?
I like this album ,the new one is pretty good, saw them do it live earlier this year, a good concert.
I agree with Deadwing, SW is a bit of a whirlwind, in some ways I wish he would just be PT.
We'll see what the new solo album has to offer.
I like PT and Blackfield but not a fan of No Man.

Take Chile. It is blossoming into a Nordic style social democracy with strong free market and capitalism institutions. I witnessed the beginning of the end of the Pinochet dictatorship in the late 1970s. It started in the coffee houses. Everybody could perform.
New Blackfield on the way in the spring with a tour in NA to be announced!!!!

Never mind, when PT comes on, just hit mute, curl up into a ball, and go into a catnap :)
Ack, Blackfield, Elbow, and Porcupine Tree all in less than half an hour. For some, aural catnip. For me, aural catlitter (used).

This might be a social experiment by Bill to see how many depressing songs one must play consecutively to get xx% of listeners to take a harder look at those tranquilizers.
