Porcupine Tree - Lazarus

[rotvalo]

I just can't get into this guy's voice because it sounds like Dave Matthews or the singer from Coldplay and my brain associates it with bad memories

[31musicfreak]

porcupine tree is the most underrated legend

[MlKEPORNTOY]

This band is a novelty act compared to Dream Theater.

[eaglepower1973]

@MlKEPORNTOY Piss off son. Dream theater can only dream of writing songs like this and that fool La brie?, whos the lead singer is laughable HAHA

[RezzKalozzTV]

@MlKEPORNTOY AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG! Your so fucking funny dude! (: Dream theater is nothing compared to porcupine tree. (:

[chairmanhober]

@MlKEPORNTOY its people like you who make me want to blow up things

[NIch43]

@MlKEPORNTOY are you really mike portnoy

[BigDempey]

@NIch43 are you really an asshole?

[MusicIzTheAnswer]

@NIch43 well mike portnoy is a friend of steven's i doubt he'd try and stir shit up now

[StrenghOfMyLife]

@NWG92 I just choked reading your comment :P

[Dukes4monny]

The only thing that's wrong with this track is that it's about 120 minutes too short..........

[GREENBAYRON]

VERY BEST!!!!

[a7xislifeisrock]

This is going to be the song i play for my first dance at my wedding <3

[cueshark]

I love this song so much. It makes me happy!

[ShadowDenodino]

[Creepythings1234]

My favorite song. I also want this played at my funeral lol.

[wendigolycan]

[Mawshroom]

@wendigolycan In Absentia > Deadwing > Fear of a blank planet :)

[screachingpain]

tomorrow I will surrender myself to the Gods of mortality! this song better be played there even though my Dad has no clue who Porcupine Tree is!

[YOYO1991ism]

I'd like the piano sheet music for this.

[lozgan]

Hello guys!I just made my first song,and if you can,let me know if you like it!It was really hard,because it was the first time!

/watch?v=jIIxQruD_6o&context=C­­3fe0cf4ADOEgsToPDskJkLdjYPoHU­C­aJVr6IIF43v

[dramaticpickles]

@lozgan Your link took me to the homepage

[ldanforth3]

This cold world is not for you.... I have strength to carry you.. To the valley below. Come to us Lazarus I'ts time for you to go~ Follow me down to th valley below. Moon light is bleedin from out of your soul This was brilliant and apocalyptic..

[megathomfazlyorke]

Can someone tell me what is this song about ?

[TheOfficialRhizuud]

That was gorgeous in sound.

[Gwendolyne71]

@MrDeadsea000 Maybe you could start to value music to its own quality instead of comparing musicians like apples and pears? That might solve a lot of silly swearing on YouTube videos at the same time...

[uchihaitachi888]

I always though the album cover portrayed a de-winged angel, hence the title. I thought of this song as about an angel who was cast out, then welcomed back. After reading the first few pages of the script, i was set straight, but i still think my thought was somewhat more poetic...

[pcbluespcblues]

Great song by a great bunch of REAL musicians.

I really wish they would take the DISLIKE button off youtube, bloody pointless!

[jstrzina]

Nawwwwwww man....240p??!! This music deserves 720p!!!

[xBl00dBrothersX]

Too slow/soft... I didn't thumb it down out of courtesy, but just not my type of music I'd listen to. HEAVY ROCK /METALCORE = :)

[muntificator]

i love how every other song you look at there is some sort of dispute in the comments ; not Lazarus though. I almost cry listening to this sometimes at the line 'My David don't you worry , this cold world is not for you. So rest your head upon me , i have strength to carry you'

[synthchick12]

some days this is the only song I can listen to. it's so powerful, and yet so relaxed.

[SomethingWild9608]

The slide guitar in the chorus is perfect.

[progazm]

@SomethingWild9608 couldn't agree more! :-)

[ofstad111]

this song is so chill, my favorite song when im going to relax :-)

[soundgardener]

Okay I'm a massive PT but, but of all the PT songs that could have come up in the top 3, Lazarus? Nice song, but in the PT canon it's not in the top 20. I have spoken.

[thesabrix]

Beautiful,

[NukiBoom]

hey where can I find the orginal version from the song Trains ???/

I cant find it on youtube..

[adversariozz]

One of the very few songs in the world, that can get me so emotional to the point were I alsmot cry every time i listen to it.....

[dastalkative1]

@adversariozz Same here. This song, and The Antler's song "Bear" are the only two songs I've been known to cry to every time I hear them.

[braindrain52389]

what is the point of the dislike button? if i don't like a song, i just move on

[marioLPmadness]

@braindrain52389 it's not only on songs...

[faticarman]

@braindrain52389 dislike is made for Justin Bieber nd Rebeca Black songs

[FlamboyantFlamingo97]

I want this song played at my funeral.

[RaVen145CoBy]

@FlamboyantFlamingo97 who doesnt dude?

[essengeebee]

21 people would prefer to listen in high quality surround sound.

[annanke12]

@essengeebee :D :D :D :D :D :D you are so lovely :D good idea

[nkd254]

unbelievable that someone can dislike this

[martin846]

very good music

[AnonymousDelta]

Genitals.

[myfaultstudios]

@AnonymousDelta thank you sir you made my day. After listening to the music for a minute and its peacefulness you really added to that lol.

[AnonymousDelta]

Recently I've been falling in love with this wonderful guy. We've been talking a lot lately, and we're getting pretty close. He lives far away from me, so I don't get to see him as often as I want, but listening to this song reminds me of how lucky I am to just have him in my life.

Even though I miss him a lot.

I'm probably responsible 30% of the views on this vid, hahah.

[johnorey]

@AnonymousDelta your lucky

[ChocolateHoneycomb]

British music will never die...

[maplelover56]

I always play this song it is THAT good

[uchihaitachi888]

When I first saw the album cover and heard this song and album name, I thought the figure on the front was an angel with his wings cut off. While wrong, I think it's a beautiful metaphor for some things, seemingly perfect, that find themselves injured in some way and must rely on help and support from others to return to their place in the sky.

[Gorikain]

hello strangers.

[ryandrums1001]

Wow, both top comments are great for once!!!

[TheAdam159]

@tml2193 I saw them last year, and they were phenomenal! And the venue was packed. So it seems many people 'care about it'. PT are one of my favourite bands.

[robhartjr1993]

This song.....

[robhartjr1993]

The members of TOOL and Porcupine Tree walk into a bar....

[jstarkster]

porcupine tree is ground shaking, because its really good music and nobody likes or cares about it, but i believe in their music. IT'S JUST SOUL TOUCHING. i know i explain that too much but i cant explain enough of how good these guys are.

[jstarkster]

oh dont listen to the lyrics and take them literally, its metaphorically phsycadelic rock. its really good and most people dont understand it but if you pay attention to the psycadelic smooth rock in it it's really soul touching

[JOSSrockas]

Moonlight is bleeding (8) (8)

[jstarkster]

soul touching



[Jamesdrums89]

Check out my drum cover of this brilliantly written song on my profile. Cheers!

[CNorrisBiggestFan]

I love the sounds of the train on the tracks on the end. So amazing.

[smamit2]

repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat

[FunnyLimbo]

sounds so much like Keane

[MND341]

@FunnyLimbo Haha this is what I exactly thought!

[janinthesky88]

The whales seem to be singing along initially....

[xXenimcrbtx]

so freakn beautiful. ;_;

[darknight26081996]

thumbs up if u cant even spot the dislike bar .:P

[barataga92]

[Miniboulet1994]

Best 3 chords song ever...

[Miniboulet1994]

Best 3 chords song...

[brazwen]

Hi all. I'm new to Porcupine Tree. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me their best album, so I can have a first good impression on them. Thanks.

[vikas400]

@brazwen If you like this song then you should check out Stupid Dream or Lightbulb Sun

[DearHunter42]

@brazwen In my opinion, this is his best album, then Blackest Eyes, and thirdly Lightbulb Sun. I haven't had the time to truly listen to his other albums.

[TheAdam159]

@brazwen They cover a big range of styles. If you like Pink Floyd or psychedelic prog rock, check out their first few early albums. The Sky Moves Sideways is probably the best from that period. Then they moved into a more song-based pop oriented style (but still very good) with the albums Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun. Recently, they have changed direction again, and added a prog metal Tool-esque sound. In Absentia is a great album from this period. All their albums are great, though

[brazwen]

@TheAdam159 Thank you for your comment. I love Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Tool (Mainly versatile bands just as I had mentioned). I've heard of Porcupine tree, and how great they are, but I never got into listening to them - too busy with university, so many studies. I finally got a break, now I'm checking out some bands and getting back into guitar playing again. :D

[apleasantsymmetry]

Perhaps one of my most favorite Porcupine tree songs.

[aravindnnair]

Shit, YouTube should have a loop button :|

[c0d3x001]

@aravindnnair youtuberepeat.... just click on the url and type in repeat before the dot com

[MalsacakMali]

I cry each time I listen to this song... <3

[aditizzzz]

Steven Wilson = God !!



[sSnEhAL11]

Why isn't this song popular enough? O.o

This one is the best of PT... why so under-rated? :(

[Gwendolyne71]

How can anyone put a dislike on a song as beautiful as tyhis one??????

[vickyx274]

@Gwendolyne71 They missed the right button

[MrDeadsea000]

@Gwendolyne71 I disliked it fuckers... WHAT ?!?!?... Justin Beiber would shit on these bitch ass tricksters, nah mean ?.

[PranaySabharwal]

Check out my cover of this amazing song :)

[pillis54]

May everyone who puts dislike on this son be drawn and quartered.

[HarvesterOfBuckets]

Makes me cry

[00Sparkz19]

As far as standalone PT songs go, i don't think anything beats Trains. It looks like it has a lot less views though... any new PT fans, go straight to Trains :)

[kbkushalutube]

आज पूरा दिन यह गाना सुन रहा था !

[cermisan]

@Janiksenkapala

at a lot of crap. Poor listeners. If they only widen their horizon.

[hulkusedtosuck]

"We didn't want to play some Metallica or Pink Floyd, we wanted to play some Porcupine Tree" - Steve Wilson

[159Atko]

@Gaboy9515 Steve is a sheer legend.

[YOYO1991ism]

@Gaboy9515 i listen both metallica and PF and PT too they are awesome

[NevadaRoad]

finally found it!!!!

[jussaguy1]

thx duke twicep.In your?twenty years you're quite a sage.Maybe faith is faith.Maybe it's misplaced,maybe not.Faith is a good thing . And yeah,they're good.I dunno if this is one of their best

[Janiksenkapala]

What I can't understand is, this video has been here for almost 18 months and it's only got a little more than 600k views. What are people listening to?

[MadeAtDawn]

@Janiksenkapala Dubstep, Rap, DNB, Other Rock Bands and fucking mainstream music. I also listen to Dubstep and DnB but as much as I like those, Porcupine tree is my favorite band.

[Beastify9pointO]

so amazing

[TheMUSICROCKANDMETAL]

apre l'anima

[kakarotsv50]

Porcupine Tree is so Damn Fucking Under Rated !!

[sSnEhAL11]

@kakarotsv50 TRUEE!! And So is this song :O

[bartreme]

One of the best songs ever!!!Why can't we hear that one on the radio!?

[MrJuuberi]

@bartreme Radio plays shitty music

[bartreme]

@MrJuuberi Couldn't agree more.At least from time to time would be nice to hear such a good tune on the radio!!

[KrakenKaravel]

So rest your head upon me,

I have strength to carry you.

[AnthonyMallaboro]

Did they ever actually make Deadwing into a movie?

[mysticmadness001]

Can't stop listening <3

[SilentGunman]

Sounds like early Duncan Sheik.

[shidhantosen]

this is like a song emphasizing death as a healer not as a disease that we have come to see it as...........at least that's what it looks to me....what an OSM band

[TheEnBe]

in love with this song ! ^_^

[DukeTwicep]

@jzsking I agree. If you honestly take a look at all the evidence and take a sceptic approach, then you can't possibly come to the conclusion that there is a god, at least not a god of any religion. And a deist approach is just meaningless as it's more or less a god of the gaps strategy, a way of saying "I'm too afraid to say that I don't know".

But then religion/faith has a strong hold on the believers, and therefore there can still be intelligent believers.

[Leoa854]

Lindo...

[ricardinho101]

Porcupine trees have always had more of a Nostalgic song tendency, rather than a Love song Tendency

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

Wilson is to songwriting what George Bellas is to guitar....I like his texture...not unlike Ayreon .

[andreina884]

bellissima e dolcissima come un fiore appena sbocciato !

[Kvakez]

The names are pretty obvious, both are from the Bible. Lazarus is the man which was resurrected by Jesus. The famous quote: "Lazarus, come forth." (Thus the last line in the song). David is another Biblical Hebrew name, he was the greatest of Israeli kings. Though it's not clear for me, why is David here in this song, it reminds me the legend of David and Goliath, that took place in the Valley of Elah (Follow me down to the valley below?).

[DukeTwicep]

You do know that just because a song uses a name that comes from a book, that doesn't mean the song is about the book. Lazarus is about living once more/being revived, it could also be a metaphor for similar things.

I doubt he wrote about the stories in the bible as religion is one of the things that sickens him. There are several song's he's made that cover's these topics. Google "swfbinterview.html" for an interview with this.

[TheZhengmeister]

the piano part with violins in the background melts me every time

[VorpalClaw]

It's about a boy who's kept ill by his mother.

[Eximious94]

I believe this song was first written for a movie script, and that's probably where David comes from :) He talks about it in one of his interviews.

[ForeverPassionate2]

What is this song about?

[ForeverPassionate2]

I didn't really know about this band. I'm here thinking that they are not that popular, yet amazing. I'm happy to say though, I click this song, and bam, I recognize it!

[LantInima]

why can't they play music like this on the tv instead of the RnB crap...?
