[Aarun86]

[patorocker5]

Great music to get laid and read.

[WimpyPotato]

@patorocker5 To get laid and read? Sounds like you read while having sex and listening to Porcupine Tree. NICE!

[sazawal]

Who is the girl at 1:42

[patorocker5]

@sazawal She looks beautiful.

[matttildesley]

how can anybody dislike this it amazes me ? have people just have no taste what so ever cheers matt.10 stars for me,full stop.

[InsomniumX]

Can anybody tell me what guitar is that? It's beautiful!

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@InsomniumX its a video guitar. Just google visionaryinstruments and the website will come up

[wolfman1234]

I like this very much! :)

[gimli1980]

There's 4 songs that have made me cry in my whole life...

Three of those are by Porcupine Tree, "Half-Light" being obviously one of them.

[InsomniumX]

@gimli1980 Curiosity kills me, what are the other 3?

[madhusudanraman]

what a guitar. :O

[jared14flynn]

its been so long. years have gone, since i belonged. hold me please. stay with me, and i will sleep. i will go now, but i will be with you. hold me inside you. that chorus is so fucking powerful. as much as i love everything this band has ever done i dont think anything in the world could impact me more than those lines do. there are no words to describe it

[signifytree]

Yes, Mr. Wilson, you look beautiful.

[coldlife1926]

Ι will go now...but I will be wtih you...

[Nirvanaredblack]

that guitar

[WimpyPotato]

I'm pretty sure that's Jordan Rudess at 3:13, or so I've heard. Can't say it looks that much like him

[nkd254]

@WimpyPotato  where the fuk is JR?

[nkd254]

@WimpyPotato its 3:07 JR lookalike,,

[666blackhearted666]

@WimpyPotato i was there.. and i can asure you.. there was no jordan rudess at the concert : )

[dannopalooza]

@ifloegel Omg, not again. I love this band, there's nothing wrong if they mistake and can manage it perfectly (like this time). I'm not being offensive, just critical.

[dannopalooza]

@azurekevin In fact, I recorded their 2007 concert in my city, I hear the "Atlanta" live recording frequently and I play guitar. The solo is exactly the same. When I heard this version I found that difference, watched carefully the video and noticed how SW obviously mistakens, just look at his expression @ 4:44, maybe even Gavin notices @ 4:53, as SW plays the outro part of the solo to cover the bars of the solo he missed before the breakpoint of the solo at 5:01. No big deal, they're great.

[ifloegel]

@dannopalooza which mistake? :D and gavin is definitely not shaking his head because somebody did a mistake

[DeidyOnABus]

7 people had to go out and get new pants after hearing this song.

[Azured665]

Press 8, and you will win.

[DeidyOnABus]

i was seriously crying when the guitar solo started. this is the first time i've heard this song, and it has to be the most beautiful song PT has ever written.

[xkodha]

why the heck is John Wesley not part of the band?!

[CaptainHowdySH]

@xkodha He really doesn't need to be. Wilson writes all the parts that Wesley plays. Although I wondered the same thing myself a long time ago. Just because he's not an official member or Porcupine Tree, he might as well be. He tours and does a lot of studio work with them. Oh well.

[ageras30]

Wow man...I love this song!

[M0oM0o1]

when i hear this song, it makes the idea of death feel okay... its so fucking beautiful!

[dannopalooza]

Steven mistakes in the solo @ 4:41 , he notices and starts an improvisation, maybe thinking "i screwed it!". Still awesome

[azurekevin]

@dannopalooza Mistakes compared to what version? The guitar solo isn't in the original recording so as far as I know, it's probably mostly an improv anyway.

[CyberneticPillow]

heaven..Steven is heaven

[ghostintheruins90]

If there were ever two musicians who complemented each other it would be Steven Wilson and John Wesley, it blow my mind Wes is not a full member of PT.

[TheMindfreak0001]

that solo made me remember why Steven Wilson is my favorite gutarist

[OleTheFirst]

Very beautiful!

[0angyp0]

This is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kingding6]

High off my rocker, laying in my bed, listening to this song.

This is it. Paradise.

[HichamBadriTOBIS]

Mind-blowing performance

[spencerdrummer1]

Hope could you dislike this!? Crazy..

[AbrahamSimpson36]

German: Es gibt viele guten Lieder auf der Welt, von denen ich behaupten könnte ich könne sie ständig hören.. aber dieses Lied, das ist so ein Lied, dass würde ich als letzten Wunsch hören wollen wenn ich sterbe.. Es beschreibt einfach alle Höhen und Tiefen.. es ist einfach wunderbar <3 .. Ich liebe es <3.. Ich liebe Porcupine Tree (: .. I loveeee it <3

[PrickyKorv]

This is so good! It hurts ones soul a bit when it "only" got 73 991 views... Should have a couple of millions views, at least!

[HichamBadriTOBIS]

@PrickyKorv Your argument is valid.

[PorcupinedMike]

Actually when I'm listening this song the quote from one of the Georgian writer's novel is imagined in my mind. I'll try to translate it :)

"And after all those years, when hiked and tired from imminence finally passed to narrow, dark and stunked hole and born in a glittering light , Zebulon saw the bright blue death"

[Karolcia1993]

most beautiful guitar solo I''ve ever heard

[DPScott20]

Musical perfection.

[masr3r]

great band I know them from not long but I love them to the madness

[DrumsofEternity]

this is the most beautiful song in the world... and john wesley vocals=eargasm..

[dlkrdlkr]

I was really influenced by porcupine tree ... after listening to this song , i feel like i am raped by porcupine tree

[matthijs5102005]

Dit is waar muziek om gaat!!,gevoel emotie etc,Wilson is gewoon uniek,4.25 wat een gemak waarop hij zijn gitaar neemt,gelukkig alles live waargenomen in 013, it's bin so long years are gone!!!

[MrKtulu1989]

Felt like I was there, so close to Heaven.

[gogolplex74]

Wow I was looking for Arcade Fire song and I accidentally found this

[SquishypuffDave]

@gogolplex74 Welcome to Porcupine Tree. Enjoy the ride. :D

[gogolplex74]

@SquishypuffDave I liked PT before, but just now I discovered this song

[SquishypuffDave]

@gogolplex74 Ah, my mistake. :)

This was incidentally the very first PT song I ever heard. Still holds a very special place in my heart.

[splendiferosity]

@gogolplex74 And you love it, of course ;)

[AUP68]

@gogolplex74 you found better than arcade fire for sure

[gogolplex74]

@AUP68 wouldn't say that, they're equally great

[2zelp]

@gogolplex74 And you just found the best band alive.

[jefryindude]

@gogolplex74 much more better, :)

[starmartyr11]

This was playing in the background on a playlist, and I just realized - this is live??!Jesus these guys are good!!

Plus, that is one of the coolest guitars ever.

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

Great DVD - nice visuals

[isuonidisimo]

incantevole John Wesley. vorrei aver visto questo concerto.. vorrei aver visto Porcupine Tree..

[Auce8742]

Poco es lo que puedo decir para recalcar lo feliz que se siente estar enamorado... 

[YoItsHype]

John Wesley walks away like a BOSS!

[josefvickers]

3:49 :-O

John Wesley!

[dawidmt]

@dreamtheaterisbeast have fun having shitty quality

[AEStheist]

hahaha I can't stop laughing. John Wesley delivers some beautiful vocals then just slinks awkwardly off stage

[MadBassist2]

I would download this for free but I will happily support some of the greatest modern musicians by buying their albums.

[MQJQ]

Wish I went, but had other things to do... Hopefully they'll come back to Holland someday.

Half Light is one of my fav. songs. Next to Anesthesize, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Voyage 34 and Prodgal.

[fio1310]

This song is why Porcupine tree are above most other bands. Such emotion in simple yet beautiful lyrics

[dawidmt]

@fio1310 Not only this ;)

[mtbsteve1]

Is that Robin Trower in the audience at 3:07?

[gmonier1]

Quel guitariste ce Steven Wilson.......excellent.

[Progfan1965]

One of my favourite songs ever, beautiful and moving. Makes my hairs stand up every time. Shame it wasn't included on Deadwing, not on iTunes or Amazon and getting hold of Lazarus EP is nigh on impossible. PT please have it as a download from your website or put it on iTunes

[Posthuman2003]

awesome



[cutehbk2010]

Porcupine Tree is the best band ever.. and their live performances are just impossible to match... I wonder where the world is going when there are bands like Porcupine Tree... THUMBS UP STEVEN ;)

[MsOpethlove]

Perfect :')

[astroandyborgloh]

Wonderful song, and wonderful tasteful drumming by Gavin.

[funnyflp]

Sweet!

[FIndelCOB]

Wesley is perfect for Porcupine Tree.. why isn't he an official member already?

[spencerdrummer1]

Compete bliss.. beautiful!

[avided]

Got the dvd soon as it came out and fell in love with this song right away along with being really impressed with Wesley. I started buying his solo stuff because of his singing in this song.

[Belarminovs]

This song is a masterpiece. So, Bieber, if you it don't bother you, listen to this.

[gimli1980]

4 songs have ever made me cry in my entire life...

3 are written by Steven Wilson, this being among them....

No words can describe the beauty...

[stesala]

this song.... :'( ... amazing !

it recalls me, a truly intense moment of my life... intense and very sad.

but so sweet to remember my little baby, that is no more with us !

[Sonarion]

Is it just me or is the solo an hommage to Pink Floyd - Mother?

[ThisGuyIKnow69]

@Sonarion I was even thinking the song as a whole was, perhaps, a deliberate homage to Pink Floyd. So cool.

[WyattTheGuitarist]

Fantastic, fantastic song... I like how concert DVD's often do this thing where if "beautiful" is in a song, they cut to a shot of a beautiful woman. This one dave matthews DVD i have does it to...

[jtrek154]

6 people just don't understand real music........

[ThomasMisson1]

One of the most profoundly beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[organs]

I want this played at my funeral.

[Fleshy91]

Beats the shit out of any rock ballad from the 80's without exception!

[LAdelle24]

This is the saddest and the most beautiful song I have ever heard..

[Fleshy91]

@LAdelle24 Sad and beautiful almost go hand in hand.

[Karolcia1993]

4:25...

[TheLt2323]

this is the most beautiful song i have ever heard........ simply amazing...

[Deadwing6]

@Kirkmaniak I heard Steven say in an interview somewhere that it was something like a servet holder, and that Steven would be nowhere without it because there's only one of it. So I think you have to find something alike :)

[BereniceBG]

Nothing else but perfection.

[sdmaddy6]

THE first time hear this was on a cold winter evening all alone, in a place beside a lake ,that day the moon was a full moon , the experience that i got , is like that i was transported to a another dimension, in which there was no joy, no pain, no sadness ,no happiness ,i sat there like was stoned for two days.

[coldlife1926]

KNEEL Before the Trees....Thank you for your existence....

[Totiso]

I love this song

[barcigian]

5 people doens't know a true genius when they see one.... =/

How could that be possible?!?

[organs]

So great! C'mon guys! When's the DVD from the "Incident" tour going to be released?

[exxexister]

a song from heaven...

a great drop of sunlight...

[proggeorge]

damn still one of the best from PT

[SignifyTerra]

Wesley you are so good

[NeedHeadMusic]

What is this song about? I love it

[blackngold29]

The shot of the girl at 1:42 is incredible... in the half light.

[Sonor1996]

This shit is so wonderful *__*

[Wilke1000ke]

This song remember songs like a FLOYD'S sounds.....great job

[coldlife1926]

I will go now...but...I will be with you...

[Deadwing6]

And still Steven can't stop headbanging even in this song!

[destijl1337]

wes is good but all he really does is add to steven's parts he isnt there for much else

[joelism1989]

@destijl1337 don't forget he has also co-worked on a lot of songs of PT as a guest artist

[yngwiemaiden48]

@joelism1989 totally

[bobsib]

so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes

[GenDaber]

4 people loved this song so much,that they died.

[TheDanpis]

this song is wonderful !!! 

[d3reilly]

During the solo I suddenly felt.....comfortable...hmmm...­comfort....ah yes....comfortably numb.

[AwaKe921]

@d3reilly During the solo i felt in heaven :)

[lionoftwo]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite songs of......all time perhaps? Just purchased Ptree's entire catalogue yesterday...a whole new world awaits eh.

[yngwiemaiden48]

3:05 Jordan Rudess right here?????????????

[royohz]

@yngwiemaiden48 Not even similar. Except they're both partly bald men.

[anathema93]

@yngwiemaiden48 looks like him

[jared14flynn]

i wish wesley sang on the studio version his voice gives this song so much

[NerimRod]

hace volar...

[joelism1989]

@MrFokfees so do i

[jared14flynn]

this song could end a war

[SaintPaulish]

Lmao Steven Wilson looks like a retarded nerdy Bowie!

[meeebit]

As i have listened to this song it has comforted me in ways i cannot describe

even through the suicide of an old friend

the attempted suicides of friends friends

It makes me realize that we are not forever, and it has brought me to peace with myself to realize, this is life, we need to stop to enjoy it while we have it, no matter what may come in our way.

I may not know what will come but i know in the end it will be alright

[atlas14]

Imagine if they played this song to the final "Grey Havens" scene in The Lord of the Rings when Frodo leaves with Gandalf for the Undying Lands. I think it could be perfect.

[EsharpFflat]

Wilson's solo reminds me a lot of Steve Rothery's in "Sugar Mice".

[leethegeneral]

@EsharpFflat Yeh I can hear it too... :-)

[FAHADBINHAIDER009]

Steven Wilson is the king of psychedelic melody!! \m/

[skatealien28]

a perfect Trip!

[albassxx]

3:06 An old fan of Porcupine Tree

[royohz]

@albassxx Arielle Daniel?

[NeedHeadMusic]

Steven is the new David Gilmour concerning guitar playing

[grapeman56]

WES!!!

[coldlife192606]

Thak you for your existence...

[Fikmonskov]

Waw...

[lotti68]

I love this track! So beautful and full of wonderful feellings inside in my mind and soul!!!

[carlosIP1992]

aaghjll

[AlanGuerraPedro]

Thank you John, that was beautiful...

[InsomniumX]

Why did they take this out of Deadwing? It´s beautiful!

[DeviantByAllMeans]

I climbed the Porcupine Tree and bever came back down.

[nuthinfayce]

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard...

[akopocmichael]

make Wesley an official member :D

[windriderrr]

@akopocmichael Well he is an official live member. He's just not needed in studio recordings.

[barcigian]

@akopocmichael He has his own band! ; )
