Porcupine Tree - Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth

[netram2000]

This video is exactly my cup of tea :D This song was one of my immediate faves on the whole record :) You've got a great taste!!!

[actron]

@netram2000 How does one make a video that looks like this?

[ScremoSkullz]

The Speech = Madness in a nutshell.

[giorgilobjanidze]

9 people stayed on the earth (:

[Niallll21]

i'm very drunk.. i'm fucking loving it. nearly as much as when i'm listening to it sober..fuck it i'm happier drunk :)

[jussaguy1]

go with your gut,a dude like that does indeed Look crazy!HEY,HE WAS.DOH!

[L2112Lifz]

This is probably the tenth time I've listened to this today.

[septemberhimmel]

this video is awesome ! <3

[tehZwok]

Does the statement at 3:40 (starting with "It requires that..") remind anyone of Animal Farm?

[CristianTejadaU]

@tehZwok Animal farm of orwell?

[tehZwok]

@CristianTejadaU Yup.

[Hingaroo]

this song is one of the scariest songs i know!

[MrJas1991]

@Hingaroo

How could that possibly be? I'd use the word introspective to describe this song, not scary

[Hingaroo]

@MrJas1991 the combination of the time at which i bought this album, it was a wierd time in my life. also the speech by marshal applewhite is just chilling!!!!!

[J0000OOOO]

Best. Atmospheres. Ever.

[gogolplex74]

This sounds like music from Trigun

[PennyDreadful1]

This sounds so great! Im a little worried though because more HD versions on youtube have a tinnitus like sound that starts at about 0:55 And im thinking it could be on the album too. Sometimes Steven Wilson makes these little mistakes it seems. No matter.

[esoterichart]

my favorite pt song! @ nerotonic..the speech that starts at 2:30 and continues later is from the letter written by the' heavens gate' cult leader to explain why he and his cult followers commited suicide....they believed that they were not human, but alien. members of their alien race were coming to get them; they couldnt be taken back to their home planet unless their human bodies were dead...hence the suicides..

[quazifnatik]

Just listen, close your eyes and relax. wow. Thanks for the share.

[ingvaldandre]

Wich instrument is played at 1.42? :) Just as an effect for a few seconds? :) sounds beatiful :)

[jsiminski]

@ingvaldandre electric guitar with lot's of delay and slight distortion

[SurfGreenTelecaster]

@ingvaldandre It's actually not a guitar - it's a hammered dulcimer (with lots of reverb/delay of course)...not too many people using one of those in rock/prog. Incredibly beautiful sound for sure! :)

[TheIranianpigeons]

Awsome song, awsome lyrics, awsome performance.

[alony10]

For another video clip look for : alony10

[TheAdam159]

What dumb bastard disliked THIS?

[faselblaDer3te]

@TheAdam159

And the more important question: Who gives two shits?

[bayfield4222]

@TheAdam159 speakers were broken

[randomguyoudontknow]

Tabs in my vid i'll make a video response

[nerotonic]

This is a relaxing and very important video. The next level.....The level above human.

[nicksword87]

Said this in another vid nut this is the perfect end to the world song and will be jamming to this all day tomorrow!

[sitbackrelax]

This song is yet another example of how incredible porcupine tree are. My fave band of all time, without a doubt. Such a brilliant lyricist SW is, and such incredible musicians that make up the whole band. Chris Maitland deserves a shitload of respect for what he did for PT, despite Gavin Harrison's obvious genius!

[RobGasoline1]

As I close my eyes listenin to this song..I start to travel in a different place..Beautiful..

[Sushi3950]

Love this song, thanks ^^

[Arcturusalt]

I fucking love the beginning, the banjo mixed with the acoustic guitar... It reminds me of riding my bike down my old neighborhood in the early summer morning.

[MrJas1991]

Love the acoustic work and visual effect!

[Tmpp88]

Quite the obvious tribute to Whitesnake, check out Ain't Gonna Cry No More and compare the intro :)

[McYellowfish]

@cursedswordsman It is very evident that you not only haven't made it past the intro, but are so quick to judge a band by one song. Should we insult Rush for the song Dog Years? Should we criticize Genesis for Invisible Touch? No? Then don't fuck with PT.

[ihateonlinepoker]

@McYellowfish I like 'Dog Years'. But Rush can do very little wrong in my eyes. Er.. well... 'I think I'm Going Bald"... hehe coulda done without that one.

[gmody39]

To all who may be interested, Read HEAVEAN'S GATE A MEMORIAL Established 2009. It tells the story of what happened to the thirty nine members of HEAVEN'S GATE after leaving earth and boarding the comet craft cloaked in the tail of the Hale Bopp comet. A good read for all sci fi enthusiasts.

[ParanoyaStudio]

Have they reached the spaceship yet?

[ChubsyMalone180]

Can anybody tell me where the quotes they use in this song are from?

[Yonder88]

@ChubsyMalone180

It is the leader of the Heaven's Gate religious cult Doe. This U.S. cult believed that they were from another planet and only visiting earth. In order to return to their own "dimension: before the earth was recycled they all committed mass suicide. The words are taken from the video they made before killing themselves to explain to the rest of the world why they had done it.

[OrphanOfTheFlame]

What softwares were used to make this great visual effect?

[Tengent]

@OrphanOfTheFlame It's pre-made, I found a different video using this same sequence with a link to the site giving the video away. I can't find it. :(

[thomasthomtithom]

psychedelic shivers without narcotic stuff

[Tengent]

The animation is gorgeous. I don't like the music, though. I'm not into chord-based acoustic ballads (hey the latter half of the song is pretty good though).

[oceanborn05]

Reminds me of Closure by Opeth

[shadow0spear]

@oceanborn05 And a bit of Atonement by Opeth too.

[correzzocity]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[EnragedSephiroth]

Never gets old...

[koda0991]

in the NEARfest concert Steven said

"If you fall asleep with me

you can dream and drowse

while I look down your blouse"

I think it's just ridiculous how awesome he is

[Cearz1985]

@koda0991 Yes, you all can watch in my channel the video where he said that. SW is simply brilliant!

[cursedswordsman]

Gay redneck shit. Next song please.

[LMA0NAISE]

@cursedswordsman Close minded people like you make me sick. Listen past the first thirty seconds of the song next time.

[beefjirky]

@cursedswordsman You are really dumb, it's obviously not a redneck song.

[mrstinkybum]

ba ba booey to youeey

[shotgunwalter]

the "last chance" comment is from the preist of the heavens gate cult that commited a mass suicide thinking they would meet a spaceship that was behind the Hal bop comet...

[007Pogo]

@shotgunwalter What a lot of idiots xD

[randomguyoudontknow]

@shotgunwalter two people of the forty that killed themselves didn't kil themselves until two years later

[007Pogo]

I repeat....last change to evacuate planet earth..before it is gets..recycled

[tkivoband]

@jonok911 that's true. and kinda fucked up at the same time. :)

[madslasher666]

Marcosma, where did you get that video from?

[Johnno3D]

0:00 to 4:50 is probably the best part of this song

[milla4da8killa]

Probably their best song. =D

[sanket1971991]

the 3 people disliking this song are deaf and numb xD

[KarlDaggerfield]

"Let me say that our mission here at this time is about to come to a close in the next few days. We came from distant space, even what some might call somewhat of another dimension, and we are about to return from whence we came...

[Kubolski]

Great song.

[howst3]

[lefrauens]

This is Do, from the Level Above Human.........re-leave yourself and become.....join us.....exit the vehicle..........

[lefrauens]

Kiss me on the lips.......

[oridet]

The drums are great! A real masterpiece!

[pesceporco81]

Porcupine tree is the BEST in circulation since 20 years ( my opinion), SIMPLY GREAT!!!

[camo06660]

If you fall asleep with me You can dream and drowse The miuntes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town. After all the time I spent with you Spring went away And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone Not grown ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips..

[camo06660]

@camo06660 Sorry its summer :p

[westpalmscott]

If I"m not mistaken The voice in the sample is that kook Marhall Applewhite who led his followers intio thinking a spaceship was on it's way from the Hallebop comet to get them, but they had to leave their Earthly bodies behind first. They all drank Jonestown highballs. Nothing but dust and ice was in that comet. That part out of the way, I LOVE THIS BAND

[sprawler2121]

@westpalmscott parts of the speech made sense by applewhite though like we must leave behind human ignorance human waste human disinformation etc!

[westpalmscott]

@sprawler2121 I agree that some of it makes sense. Some of though, is just plain creepy

[RobGasoline]

Hi mate!

How did you made the psychedelic effects?

It's really interesting!!!

Thx let me know please :)

[Eagleheart1980]

Hehe great one indeed and that speech in around middle is goodie one x)

Great guitar stuff and said the song name for 2 times at the end :P

[NWG92]

Beautiful song and, though I'm usually not a fan of vocal samples in rock-related music, Steve always uses them really effectively. The last half of the song is one of my favorite parts of the album.

[rezurrxtion]

Great album

[dragon4all2005]

is that a visualizer in the video or its something u created ? , and if its a visualizer may i ask you for its name ? :D thanks in advance

[PermanentWave62]

phenomenal song!!!! lately i was having a problem with music. I was having a problem enjoying anything. So I just found a Pt song ive never heard! Problem solved!!! they really know how to earse the word music, and put sounds+emotion in its place

[frekijsimpson]

Well Said..!!

I had been a music whore for over 3 decades.. then fell out of it all due to lack of interest. ..then, about a week ago, I heard PT.. and awakened from a long sleep...

Thankfully..!!

[TheAdam159]

@frekijsimpson : I agree, PT have made me believe in new music again. They are one of the finest bands around in my opinion.

[Mallaboro]

Anyone know whats going on in the music video?

[howdyfeller]

Looks like an acid flashback

[MrKroatian]

@howdyfeller and how do you know that ;p

[howdyfeller]

LOL MrKroatian,  No comment ;)

[MrKroatian]

@Mallaboro maybe the tape got burned while filming and this is it

[soocool78]

its simply a visualizer from a certain program that the uploader used, its not an official pt thing or nething

[Heimarbeit666]

love this thanks for posting!!!

[hoschist]

to bad they play not more of the old stuff on their concerts. I was lucky enough to go to the Lightbulb Sun Tour in 2001 when they still played at very small venues

[frekijsimpson]

groups tend to play more new songs to try and promote newer albums.. I agree.. I love hearing all my faves.. but hey... ya gotta roll with it...

Peace!

[besamesa]

Begining sound really like woven hand

[mitodrumR]

Does anyone else think about the film Wall-e when the speech begins?

[XspacekeesD]

OMG, yes, finally someone who also thinks the same I said it to other people and no one thought the same. What a coinsedince. it´s one of my favourite songs and it aaaalways make me think of Wall- e

[TheRoyalFuzzybug]

not really

[mrcrapstick99]

PT knows how to make a banjo not sound corny and stupid

[superstrong1992]

@mrcrapstick99 i think its a mandolin

[sofoclebeat]

@mrcrapstick99 ayreon can do that too :)

[LenasDarling]

I listen to it so often, and i just do not get tired of it!

It's incredible

[Mantooth901]

Cool vid

[andpyramids]

FUCK. YES. THANK YOU.

[censoredScene]

The song reminds me of the intro theme of the BBC radio program of "A Hitchiker's Guide tot he Galaxy". Especially the very first seconds of the song.

[allosaurus72]

Great I just send this to my friend patrick in Edinbgbrahaw.. He is gonna like that! Thanks!

[Marcoscma]

Thanks for the comments folks, but I did not made this images, I just uploaded the video...

[LepeshkaGoveshka]

Damn. I'm really crying. On my workspace.

[PaganoCristo]

[moosepie59]

@Marcoscma We love this. Thank you.

[machaan83]
