Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

[mrsqonk]

This album simply just blew me away..

[Rhyddry]

seems to me like every porcupine tree song here on youtube has its "best song ever written" comment under it... they deserve it though.

[ManOnEarth17]

so similar to pink floyd! very impressed with this music

[mrdorothy1000]

The song was in The Shield and I was searching it everywhere! Such a relief when I finally found it!

[lofcfan]

Top Band, Top Track... some of the best writing in the business....... roll on the next live tour.

[MrDarkmessias666]

Porcupine Tree not only combines the real music talent with very well written lyrics, as they can input visual art into their songs... Try to check out their videos, absolute masterpieces (some you can even imagine what's shown while you listen to their songs). Cheers, from Portugal!

[dgi888]

@MrDarkmessias666 I have listened to them for years, my favorite band ever.

I have listened to them for years, my favorite band ever, so creative and beautiful, with

gavin at the helm, maybe someone else is filling in for him, I cant' tell at this point. Help me out.

*Dies*

[maximusbiddo]

this is pretty led zeppelin-esque if you listen to no quarter by led zep

[DSkehan2004]

i hope they make a new album this spring year.

[Pryce2112]

@DSkehan2004 I was reading that Steve Wilson said that he doesn't know if he will be doing anymore of Porcupine Tree.

[DSkehan2004]

@Pryce2112 he said at the moment. the album will be out in the fall

[Pryce2112]

@DSkehan2004 oh...then disregard my comment

[MultiDannyboy89]

Very good song!

[brandogoku]

Awesome song.

[FIP100IP]

I wait Plant singing this version of NO QUARTER

[YmustTh3w0rldG0r0und]

this song makes me feel like swimming

[LatericiusValete]

Just love the sound of this song.

Steve's telling the truth that lies beneath our chests.

[AMC2283]

will always remind me of a last-season episode of the shield, plays as Shane realizes Vic and Ronnie tried to kill him.

[FenixiaDuo]

No band/person will ever be able to capture the raw negativity that is drawn from Steven's lyrics. He is such a genius to take such dark tones and make them into beautiful soundscapes.

[luketube]

Wow... I am blown away! Never heard of this band until this tune.

[OldMeg77]

The lyrics are so true and honest. In even each song is hidden something from your own life that you're constantly thinking about. It's like they would read in your mind. their music is incredible, beautiful and what's more important - helpfull

[hippiechick1111]

Steven W - tortured soul - like so many of us  ...

[thevoidconsumes]

TRIPPY ILOVE THIS BAND

[guitaristforfota]

No Quarter?

[gogolplex74]

@guitaristforfota it sounds like it only in the beginning, then it sounds entirely different

[LeOniuS69]

1 person missed the like button by accident.

[i42s]

Sorry, don' t blame me....... but this is the only song of PT I do not like......

[weeeendog]

Breathtakingly awesome genius art . . . the Muse is one one place at any given moment in time . . . we know where she was the day this song was hatched . . .

[Barrmanzz]

Steven Wilson is a genius, and i'm not exaggerating.

[ReyCarmesi97]

@Barrmanzz Obviously, why would you be exagerating?

[Barrmanzz]

@ReyCarmesi97

I think too many people are called genius, but in case of Steven Wilson, there's no doubt.

[akn0ledge]

amazing.... haven't heard this in a while

[klistarf]

The beauty of this track (and this band generally) just puts me at a loss for words... \m/ (:o)

[MrNatesnumberone]

Not my style but respectable. Thumbs up

[excelisinsane]

a bit more like their earlier stuff

[Lespaul09MKN]

First song I ever heard from PT and damn.... I'm hooked.

[fossiegirl]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and Steven Wilson is a genius and a once in a blue moon artist. He blows my mind

[MetalJony]

@fossiegirl

Exactly what I think

[Hanschristianify]

@fossiegirl I agree..Porcupine Tree is awesome

[mitchelljcu]

the end of each line of the verse.....it reminds me of a song but i can't think which one...anyone know?.... just the vocal melody line....mayb gorillaz

[gogolplex74]

Omg when violin starts playing my heart literally breaks apart

[Zythe]

I love this song. Found it through Lunar Park.

[IDoNotBlameYou]

@Zythe Oh, finally someone knows! Yes! This is a beautiful tribute to/interpretation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel, this song belonging to its final few pages.

[Dioliveson55]

a relateble song for many people, songs that define us.

[5kokoko]

impossible. in a good way. so simple. so complex. so impressive. impossible.

[DraccoKnightblade]

These guys really do remind me of Pink Floyd, mellows me right out.

[kirenuk]

Incredible song, incredible band...why aren't these guys considered legends?  They are great writers and Gavin is the best...

[MetalJony]

@kirenuk Because today's music industry doesn't worship real music in my opinion, but it's not like they are not recognized.

[BigBadJoxed]

@MetalJony they really don't. Music that charts is basically pre-programmed garbage with the sole design of turning profits. From the album art, to the lyrics, to the video and attire of the artists it's all about selling a product rather than artistic expression. This music is a refreshing trip back to expression. kudos!

[Jalreal]

@BigBadJoxed Why would you create real music if it doesn't sell? People tend to think stuff from back in the day was made for the sake of music. No. In my opinion, a lot of lyrics were pretty shallow and the compositions were just simple chord progression. Look at the Beatles and such. (Dark Side Of The Moon is one of few exceptions...)

I don't think it's right to create music for sale, but everything's gotta be a business, y'know...

[BigBadJoxed]

@Jalreal, if you can't find the obvious differences between Justin Bieber and Led Zeppelin, I can't help you.

[PennyDreadful1]

@Jalreal Yeah but The Beatles expanded on rocks sonic vocabulary alot with their endless experimentation.

[audiofunkdialect]

@PennyDreadful1 not my favorite band, but they are easily the best of all time, and i don't think there'll ever be another group like them

[PennyDreadful1]

@audiofunkdialect Nah...dont know if The Beatles is the "best of all time". Music is subjective anyway. Most influential band of all time probably. You should just respect their contribution to popular music.

[audiofunkdialect]

@PennyDreadful1 music is subjective, but im talking along the lines of how everything went down in their history as far as evolving and changing their music, plus their impact, plus everything, you should just let me have my own opinion, unlike you i can't help but have some opinion in everything i say

[JonP1961]

@PennyDreadful1

Wilson could be Lennon re-incarnate

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@MetalJony I agree. I mean, here's a band that's arguably as as good as Pink Floyd who sold the number one album of all time, and they don't even get much recognition outside Europe. Shame.

[dgi888]

@Maskedfreakinabox

yes, PT is legend.



[Pulse535]

@kirenuk they may not be recognised in the mainstream, but they're incredibly influential in the prog niche.

[shakedownstreet48]

@kirenuk Gavin is the best you got that right.

[klistarf]

@kirenuk I concur with every word you have placed here!! (:o)

[jerikooxh]

@kirenuk They are legends for right people

[facecheek]

i love the evolution this song has throughout--it just grows and changes and grows

[CNorrisBiggestFan]

This sounds a lot like No Quarter by Led Zeppelin

[Luckzzz]

@CNorrisBiggestFan I thought it was a cover in the beggining :)

[huntrayisabeast16]

@CNorrisBiggestFan thats teh first thing i thought of.

[hypnocSlayer]

@CNorrisBiggestFan not really....just the ambient intro has the same sound (but different melody)

[StarshipTr00per]

@CNorrisBiggestFan Now that you say it .... i agree.

[sincityracer1]

@StarshipTr00per yes ,but better ! It seems like the revive from the history of 40 Years rockmusic , but not like a coverband ,they did invent new the rockmusic !

[FenixiaDuo]

@CNorrisBiggestFan It's only because of the fact that they are using a Wurlitzer that has a flanger effect on it. which is what JPJ used on No Quarter.

[10kokesly]

@FenixiaDuo more like because this is an obvious tribute to led zeppelin!

[FenixiaDuo]

@10kokesly More like it isn't. Coming from a huge Led Zeppelin fan (Myself), I can only slightly hear anything relating to Zeppelin. That being the Wurlitzer. Other than that....nothing else says Zeppelin at all. Pink Floyd? Yes, there is more Pink Floyd than Zeppelin.

[dude33369]

@CNorrisBiggestFan i know right. i love porc but they rip off alot of sounds

[theblargh151]

@CNorrisBiggestFan

Thank you! At least I know that I'm not the only one who noticed that!

[pabsensi]

@CNorrisBiggestFan I was just about to comment that.

[Brando2600]

@CNorrisBiggestFan

I was just gonna say that, the keys are right on.

[Xtremist777]

@CNorrisBiggestFan That was my first thought when I first started listening to it.

[jcast18k]

@CNorrisBiggestFan I didn't notice that until I saw your comment! You're right!

It must be very frustrating for the 'new' artists to make 100% original music pieces :S

[MysticKenji2]

@CNorrisBiggestFan Eh... not that much.

[mycuff2]

@CNorrisBiggestFan yes i can hear that in there, but PT has LZ beat by a long shot. i grew up listening to Zepp, but I love Porcupine Tree, they are so diverse in their music, unbelievable!

[thalyon22]

IMHO this, the studio version, is not the best version. at tilburg John Wesley make this song in an another level

[floydyes]

@thalyon22 I agree..the live version is beautiful

[AICbrazilianfan]

Fantastic song!!!Steven Wilson is a genius

[syjutaj]

wow what a song

[syjutaj]

wow ,what a song i wish they had a video of this song

[harmonicminorshred]

@syjutaj Check out the live version in Tilberg, it's off their new DVD.

[Steph9737]

i have this album, and this one is my fav song, i wish i could buy more of their albums but in my country this music is so uncommon... :(

thanks for postting

[ivanover]

Wow..I'm shivering.Thanks MetalJony

[MrOpeth1]

its so beautiful 1:25 in this moment i just had to cry

[ziefzief]

@MrOpeth1 same here, beautiful song

[CharlotteALux]

@MrOpeth1 When I listened to this song the first time, I cried to...... beautiful music!!

[sincityracer1]

@CharlotteALux I thought the history of music did reach the highest point , but since I heard Porcupine Tree I know , that the art of music got a new level ! And in deed ,this song is a soulcreeper !

[RandomnessM]

Finally, someone posted this to Youtube, I've looked for a studio version before, on here, didnt find one, found it on some indie site from google... TYVM

[RyantheCanuckpirate]

Thank you very much for uploading this incredible song.

[MetalJony]

@RyantheCanuckpirate

it is my pleasure
