Porcupine Tree - Wake As Gun

[skam1000]

esta cancion por la voz que sale me recordo la cancion deadwing una de mis favoritas mas bien casi todas las cansiones de porcupine tree son mis favoritas lol

[seriousarchaeopteryx]

the best song on signify, oh wait, it isn't even on signify

[insidethefall78]

I've never heard this song before, love PT!

[NarLiv]

Another PT gem.

[snowboardingfreak94]

0:36 - "Hallucinates a fire"

0:49 - "Bloodless but inspired"

Both lyrics from Pure Narcotic, is there a connection between the songs?

[JGill93]

@snowboardingfreak94 Wilson does reuse some lyrics in other songs, On the Nil Recuring B side Normal has the same lyrics as sentimental on fear of a blank planet.

[MrPekingCat]

@snowboardingfreak94 not really, this one is broad and spatial in theme, while the other is specifically about a one sided relationship in which the narrator has eyes for someone from afar whom he is incapable of capturing the attention of..

[draconianlife]

Right, I need to go buy this version of signify (a brilliant album by itself).

[Arth668]

very opeth like...I mean, very Porcuepine Tree like

[katzenblut]

Is it even possible for Steven Wilson to write a bad song? Honestly, I like *every* song by Porcupine Tree, and I can't say that about any other of my favourite bands.

[roja88]

@katzenblut Try "Dead Can Dance". It's the PT song I have the hardest time liking. It's a chant in some strange language, so brace yourself. :P

[FinestHourky]

@roja88 Isn't Dead can Dance the name of a band? Maybe there was a confusion, I have most of PT's discography and I know no track of theirs by that name.

[roja88]

@FinestHourky I thought it was a fake at first, then I just let it slip. There's not much info on the Internet about it, though Last.fm discussions suggest you're right.

What a mess. Let's just call it a fake. ¬¬

[FlyteDanny]

@katzenblut i know what u mean, im still want to believe that not everything he does is great, cause its easier for me lol, but fuck does he make excellent music no matter the decade or generation he´s on. I also believe that its not that he´s a god or something but half of the music out there is badly produced, and wilson knows how a great song should sound.

[rubencortes]

Blackfield, pryoecto alterno de Steven Wilson con el músico israelí Aviv Geffen se presentará el 6 de junio en el Teatro Metropolitan.

[FlappyMcCuddles]

What the HELL is the voice saying at the end of part 1? It's been bugging me for over a year now.

[kyletheenigma]

@FlappyMcCuddles I think it says 'Stop Waiting'

[StarsWithScars]

Do u know the side project of Steven Wilson? there are good to, im listening to Steven since the end of the 90s

[w1090]

[camelspottergr]

@sebatefri man..maybe your'e not into PT music... this is what PT is all about.. A side or B side don't matter. the music is the same...tell me what you DO like from PT...i'm curious..

[kushisaac]

Man wakes up as animal Hallucinates a fire Man wakes up as a ghost Bloodless but inspired Man wakes up as music And liberates the calm Man wakes up as a child And builds a bridge of charm Oh the silence you keep But I just wanna sleep Man wakes up as a gun And doesn't get the joke

[jojo4400garfield]

anyone got the chords for this?

[nitarbell]

I'm so glad to have this on a CD!

Great band, great song. Signify is a masterpiece.

[FlyteDanny]

anyone knows the lyrics? amazing PT song

[linkinpark0909]

How many albums made porcupine tree ??

[skyskraper31]

How is it that PT's rare "B" sides are better than 90% of ALL music that is available through mainstream channels these days.....this world is going straight to hell.

[nitarbell]

@skyskraper31

Also, their B sides are usually among their best songs (Novak, Drown With Me, this one, etc.).

[googlekopfkind]

@skyskraper31 90% ?

[Symphony675]

@skyskraper31 The current state of mainstream music, is sickening. Insert electro beat A into auto-tuned Whore B. It's depressing.

[jovialduke]

@skyskraper31 that's a little extreme.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

@skyskraper31 Or any of the stuff they've produced in the last 7 years..

[camelspottergr]

@skyskraper31 this world is a B-side... the world that made it is elsewhere.. :D

[JonP1961]

@skyskraper31

to borrow a quote from the tech sector i heard way back:

"there's no correlation between technical competence and market success"

[redl3ss]

@skyskraper31 in fact, it's just that Porcupine Tree is a band composed of three geniuses and one super genius. That's why they rule so much

[anarimus]

@skyskraper31 Kinda like The Cure. Robert Smith of the Cure has a philosophy that if someone is going to buy a single the B side must be something special. Depeche Mode does this too or used to anyway.

[TheStigsIndianCousin]

@anarimus This whole thread of discussions is full of really heart-warming and wry-smile-inducing comments, so I thought I'd put my two cents as well; What about the song Black Dahlia on The Incident. I don't like TOO much from the first side, but that song kicks serious butt.

[FinestHourky]

@skyskraper31 A shitty pop star writes 20 songs. All of them are shit--some "catchy shit", the other just grating shit.

A genius writes 20 songs. Some are better than others, some have a stronger flavor, but all are a REFLECTION of said man's GENIUS and TALENT. Therefore, even his inferior songs will obviously be far better than the thousand outings of people with no talent or passion for that matter.*

The same goes for anything in life.

[WakeAsGun]

Thought I'd better favourite this video seeing as it's my user name. Not to mention it's an AWESOME song.

[BurBuJiTaSoNIcA]

apenas escucho la vos de Steven y wow!!!!!!!

esTo es verdadera musica, esto es lo que la mayoria de gente no entiende,

ESTO ES SABOREAR LAS MEJORES MIELES

[JaskaJunior]

@BurBuJiTaSoNIcA EL SPANGLISH!!!!! XD Yo soy NO INTELEGENTES en Espanol...

[sebatefri]

@BurBuJiTaSoNIcA ESTA MUSICA ES UNA MIERDA VIVA EL REGUETON

[Thanatosartrip]

@BurBuJiTaSoNIcA Que bonito sonó eso, pero es cierto. La gente está perdida en "música" que no es música, y que es basura comercial y sin sentimiento. PT es una salida de la realidad a un mundo dentro de la mente

[BurBuJiTaSoNIcA]

@Thanatosartrip puedes volver a leer la perfeccion que acabas de escribir "PT es una salida de la realidad a un mundo dentro de la mente" me he quedado sin palabras... solo puedo decir mucgo gusto mi nombre es Gabriela y haz creado una frase muy perfecta, casi sublime

[Thanatosartrip]

@BurBuJiTaSoNIcA Pues muchas gracias. Es bueno ver que haya gente allá por México que disfrute de tan bellas tonalidades. Fantastico país, a todo esto, soy Cristian, mucho gusto Gabriela y gracias.

[MEPG75]

@BurBuJiTaSoNIcA CLARO QUE SI, EXACTO

[myorli29]

SHIVERS! *_*

[NyteblitZ]

I'm diggin the song a ton. I just ordered the new CD with both Signify and Insignificance and I cannot wait for it to come in!

[MrPekingCat]

One of my favorites from the

Signify period!

[crazyLink92]

0:55 i like this part

[progkidjoel]

Gotta love the INSIGNIFICANCE demos!
