Steven Wilson Insurgentes

[Nancetha]

Beautiful.

[dreampoets]

lyrics makes me think of the whole of the conglomerate "Christian" churches who is represented by a mother trying to be holy, fullest of purity but..vacuous,empty facade of smooth lies

[exchangedspider]

*Slow Clap*



[BlackDragonIVvids]

True.

[wedonttastetheair]

Steven Wilsons music is both a sense of sadness & uplifting simultaneously. A great feeling to incorporate into progressive music. :)

[BeingBadAtMaths]

That Koto bass. <3

[blackholedays]

@uchihaitachi888 So you're that kind of person...

[EnriSuperTramp]

nothing to say *_*

[SinForgiven]

Whoever doesn't enjoy this song is a monster :)

[scavengedfantasyname]

The instrumentation reminds me of a piece called Mr Handangote from the soundtrack of the really special adventure game Machinarium. It's a really extraordinary piece of music for an ordinary ambiance track in a relatively obscure game.

[monkeywrench666]

This truly touches my soul...

[sigma1guy]

This song makes me sad and nostalgic and I almost can't stand it

Amazing piece of music...

[nightchillsxz]

I can't explain how clear, relaxing, and peace minded this work of art is.

[tortijazz]

bueno muy bueno esos artistas queremos en elpais¡¡¡¡¡

[loveratheart19]

ahh...steven i have loved you for years now. you remind me of the best times of my life and your music has changed me forever. :-)

[dlkrdlkr]

My guess for the intro

Muse! =D

[GemmalieDeRavin]

Simply beautiful. <3

[jgtrace]

when i first heard the word "insurgentes" i was 6 years old now it has a different meaning...

youtube.com/watch?v=CcNut2xgvc­c <-----this is my band let me know what you guys think please....bye

[TheCharlesCA]

Steven Wilson <----- This is how you call a god.

[ortbitalreverb]

Thank Ü Sir. Steven Wilson, from México.

[0zos0]

such a good song that it made me cry.

[pgstancil]

Goosebumps, every time.....

[yirso]

Cuando oyes esta musica entiendes la grandeza del universo. when you hear this music understand the greatness of the Universe.

[yirso]

@yirso Centro escultórico de la UNAM 

[MrPelicanPants]

This is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard in my life. Steve is brilliant.

[lotti68]

A wonderful track!

I´m so impressed and inspired of your music! You are a very talent musican and you make the music with your heart...and soul! You make me more creative too!

Actually ..when I´m making paintings...your music inspire me to make it better))

[MrCheezStix]

One of my favorite artist, writer, and producer.

[holliefoz]

this is beautiful.

[chorastafari]

does anyone know any piano chords to this song?

[Creativitymadness]

A tear just happend to slide down my chin

[selidream72]

This album is out of Time, there's something it comes out difficult to explain, a kind of harmony, something pure, feeling like flying, more efficient than whatever drugs! Run to buy it, contains a CD and a DVD.

[Ajepson2]

there's something about this song that's so potent and emotive. i think that everyone should have the privelage of listening to this song at least once before they die.

[Voltroke]

It's interesting, how one can discover, or rediscover, one's self in music. Steven Wilson is a true talent and musical genious. His music has always been able to connect with me on the deepest level. It's thought-provoking, and REAL in every sense of the word.

Every project that he's been involved in has been jaw-dropping. I can't possibly express how incredible this man's work is. Music is an art, and this is more evident in Steven Wilson's music than anywhere else I've heard. Thankyou Steven

[einnatar]

@Voltroke amen

[KradieMeyer]

Thank God there are no thumbs down on this song... Yet :o

[AHMADF93]

I'm crying

[SpaceMonkey1983]

Lovely song.

[cocozaococozao123]

 I don't even have a software for downloading music in my computer.

[DreamTheater1551]

@cocozaococozao123 lol, if you have the internet you don't need any software to download music. Just go to one of the millions of file sharing websites, but you shouldn't steal this kind of amazing music!

[thefaint7]

Holy shit, i just dropped a load.

[Gorgorothgojira]

what album is this off?

[howdyfeller]

@Gorgorothgojira Steven Wilson's solo cd, Insurgentes

[barcigian]

More 2 days to get my hands in this masterpiece!!!!!!

[mrdoomed696]

GRANDE STEVEN WILSON!!!

[kachnickau]

It is so beautifull.. I haven´t any words.. thanks

[Aasutoshere]

MASTERPIECE

[soocool78]

for once, a video where there is not a single thumbs down.....too bad ima jinx it...but still

[Soilwar]

One of the best songs I've ever heard

[usmcsdi69]

Steven Wilson is a musican GENIUS!

[whiteninja2006]

Beautiful song... it has those exact same chords as Muse's "Hyper Chondriac Music", which is also a beautiful song. 5 stars!

[dillpickell72]

there are no words to describe how wonderful this song is.

[timthanks4]

Will he ever play these songs live???

[sasuke64210]

@timthanks4

He already has...

[Palegoat]

Fucking love this song/album.

[prlizard76]

Wonderfully melancholy and hauntingly moving -- musical poetry at it's best. I could never tire of this song...I shed a tear

[Monyquett]

wow increible cancion.. I love it

[brendaaldana]

SW A total genius

[blackfild]

i love it when the tune rolls up, it's so relaxing

[jonomurphy3]

I'd REALLY love to know where I can find the sheet music on piano for this song; so soothing and almost hypnotic.

[consciousnessjam]

Steven is one of the musicians I respect the most

[snowy67]

the guys a musical genius

[RickDuijs]

So freaking good!

[pgstancil]

Breathtaking...

[Redd0346]

I just want to say that, I have ordered this record and will never ever pirate music ever again(also since I want to be an Audio Engineer)... Musicians that are as good as Steven Wilson deserve what they earn and I will buy every single band or artist's(that I know or discover)records in honor of them.

♫♪♫♫♪=Steven Wilson... Steven Wilson=♫♪♫♫♪...

[soupla666]

Good man As an active audio engineer to a budding one, good job!

[RevelingInReverie]

YES!! I completely agree.

[uploads87]

@Redd0346 true true ^.^

[soocool78]

fyi, the band gets pretty much no money from a bought record, the label takes most of it

[girlofcolours2]

@Redd0346

[HLkiller2]

@Redd0346

I would too, but I could never afford the amount of records that would include plus the immense amounts I need for instruments, computer, camera a.s.o...

But in the future I will probably start buying them as I grow up, move out and start to make a living...

But I would probably buy all Porcupine Tree, Opeth and Steven Wilson albums first of all :P

[deadpisser88]

@Redd0346 I actually bought this album knowing Steven Wilson (albeit, not that well) and when I saw his solo album from just browsing records, I was interested (plus I never owned a copy of his music) to see how it was. One of the best purchases i have ever made. This album is easily in my top 10-20 best solo albums I've ever heard. The minimalist, shoe-gaze approach with most of the tracks is just simply bliss. Knowing me, I probably would have dl'ed it first but I'm glad I got a hard copy.

[thepalmetto]

@Redd0346 A fellow audiophile. Pleased to meet you.

[RickPaniagua]

@Redd0346 I definitely own an original copy. I am on a mission of finding every Porcupine Tree album from a record store instead of ordering them online.

[JLindinger]

@Redd0346 don't mean to argue or anything, but musicians get much, much more profit from shows and merch, record companies get most of the profit from record sales, the actual band member(s) get only like 20% or something of every album sold

[Myria83]

@Redd0346 I bought the cd yesterday... It's amazing!

[muntificator]

@Redd0346 Hey i wanna do audio engineering too! Started yet? Any good at it?

[blhack]

@Redd0346 And at the same time you're watching a bootleg copy of the song on youtube. Awesome.

The only reason I even know that Steve Wilson exists is youtube videos like this one; more specifically, videos accompanying porcupine tree songs.

If you love the artist, see them live, and spread the word about them. Some labels/artists are starting to figure this out, but what was once considered piracy is a good mechanism for that.

[OrganHatch]

@Redd0346 I agree that buying a record is great an all, but in reality the best way to support an artist is to see them live and buy merchandise AT the show, as this is how they make most of their money, for the 20$ you spent on a CD in the store, you've made the store owner, the record label, the manufacturer of the cds, the company shipping them money, but very little to the artist themself.

Downloading is not the problem, I download everything, I then go out and buy what I like.

[willregnier]

@OrganHatch Now, you can buy directly from the artist website.

[Travisdeste]

Beautiful

[YtseJam214]

The breathtaking conclusion of the Best Album of the Decade.

You are genius, Steven. It was an honor to shake your hand.

Side Note: The Koto on this track is unbelievable. So full of life. This song makes me feel like I'm flying. So surreal. One of those songs that a song doesn't have to be a complex 20 minute epic to be a masterpiece.

This is every bit as much of a masterpiece as "2112" or "Close to the Edge." Maybe even better.

[faroan]

there will be no way for me analyzing this song...the hole album got me, but this surely is its climax.

love it...please play it on my funeral! :)

[maoeffect]

OMG. I love Steven's music

[Cestmoiamis]

GOOD song ... the musical part is kind of dark and a little spooky ... and the lyrics strong, sad and concrete , and the pure truth!

Poverty, lack of motivation, and anyway there is faith... .

This happens also here , and everywhere in the poorest communities yes... .

Lyrics show a political facette of Steven's concerns . Not very common in Porcupine Tree lyrics , usually surrealistic and often also psychedelic....! BEAUTIFUL they are too, though! :)

[DreamSequencer08]

soo beautiful isnt it ?

[notatallconfused]

Yum

[harmony0404]

his voice so sensual ... want to just give in to this voice

[Nutria149038]

i love this song.

japanese koto sounds is sad but beautiful.

[francais772]

what a song.. what a song.. I Love that..

[xTheEndlessFallx]

What a deep song. Its beautiful.

I love Steven Wilson, his music never stops to amaze me. He words are deep, always gets to me. He songs are so depressing but yet it makes me feel so at peace.

[pamelapap]

very nice song... i wanted to see the NIN song and this came after... thank u for posting, lovely song

[Vektruscen]

Try saying "Trent Reznor" is garbage instead of "he is garbage" to avoid confusion in the future.

[Vektruscen]

"i just find his music so incredibly corny and, well, crap"

Are you talking about Steven Wilson?

[deadpisser88]

The incredible Sikth is no more. = (

Here's hoping they'll regroup in the future.

[thepiper2112]

What's corny about it? Just look at 90% of the music being created today..now thats corny and crappy...and SW (and all his other projects) are definitely different and much much better than all of that junk...I'm not saying the guy is Jesus, but he's released music under 5 different projects..all falling into different genres..now a solo career..and he's produced records for Opeth (another amazing band) as well as many other bands..the guy is extremely talented and creative..

[thepiper2112]

..open your ears..open your mind...

[okdontnoewattoput]

watever, thats your opinion, i'd disagree but purpose would that serve, i'm sure me saying his music is amazing wouldn't chainge your opinion

[TheFarahHamzi]

Divine.. Pure heaven indeed <3

[zeppelin8]

I say with humble conviction that this is the best song of the 21st century thus far.

[Soilwar]

agreed.

This song is pure magic.

[Cionaodh57]

What is this song about?

[marcyska12345]

no matter what is this song about, but what you feel when you can hear it

[karloxa]

Wonderful. One of the best songs ever.

[fastkomplett]

Steven Wilson, Thom Yorke and Jonsi Birgisson. The best musicians of today. Without their music my life wouldn't be complete.

[okdontnoewattoput]

and Trent Reznor, IMO atleast

[maidenofrohan]

@fastkomplett Two of those people are my favorites as well =). Porcupine tree + Sigur Ros.

[nicolyrandomluv]

@fastkomplett Oh my god, you are my soulmate. Those three bands = at the top of my list, and will be for the rest of my life.

[TheRealCaol4000]

@fastkomplett Take Thom Yorke out of that list and i might agree with you...

[marktodd]

I just have to say it again....this is awesome!!!

[Soilwar]

I am addicted to this song. I can tell 'cause it doesn't feel like a catchy song that stays in your head for a while.. I have this kind of feeling inside that I HAVE to listen to "Insurgentes". It's so simple, yet just breathtakingly beautiful.. a typical Steven Wilson song I guess.

[733quiron]

Insurgentes: the most beautiful song from Steven. Simple the best, breathtaking... ohhhhh

[onesppiegel]

No me había dado cuenta, pero en la imágen de la portada, Steven Wilson está en el Espacio Escultórico de Ciudad Universitaria, en la Ciudad de México.

* * *

I didn't notice, but on the album cover, Steven Wilson is at the Sculpturesque Space at Ciudad Universitaria, in Mexico City.

[marktodd]

To me, this is just the most beautiful piece of music ever. As a professional bass player, working with someone as gifted as SW must be incredibly exhilarating.

[jaisonbass]

Steve Wilson is a music's best kept secret!

Living Legend.

[snowgoontwentyfive]

I feel that alot of SW fans go a bit overboard, like some great injustice has been done to him by mainstream music. I don't think that's true, there's some brilliant pop music out there, it's not all dreadful.

SW is not a god, but he is extremely talented and he does push himself far harder than most musicians do.

And also, this is a FANTASTIC song, with his trademark perfect blend of harmonies towards the end!

[howdyfeller]

To me, Steven Wilson is the John Lennon of the 21st century.

The commercial music industry should be embarassed at the garbage they push as "music" . The mainstream bands have about as much talent and staying power as A Flock of Seagulls

[23KarlKoch23]

Isnt it so much better that he isnt as mainstream though SW or PT is known more these days then years ago. I think the fact that he never made it to hyper main stream has kept the soul in his music. why do you insist on pushing him mainstream? what difference is it gonna make to you? I mean here YOU are listening to one of the greatest artists out there arent you? are you upset for those who don't know coz its not mainstream? well I am just appreciating SWs music for what it is: TRUE MUSIC!!!

[pushit316]

I agree. I quit enjoy that he, or Porcupine Tree, are not mainstream. It's like this little gem that only really awesome people get to know about and all the others that are too absorbed by mainstream media and miss out on it. Let's keep Steven Wilson a best kept secret :P

[23KarlKoch23]

couldn't agree more with you!! All the bands who went mainstream end up in the palms of greedy people who care little about the music and more about revenue and soon the artists follow the same path and the one thing which gets polluted by this hype is ironically the same thing that made all this greed possible: the music! so let's keep steven wilson our secret and continue to enjoye!! :-)))

[howdyfeller]

I am just upset about the Commercial music industry as a whole. Mainly because they do NOT allow every band a chance to be heard.  I love hearing Steven's music, but I feel he should also be rewarded as many other bands, with the recognition they deserve. i feel worst for the young generation who just will never get a chance to hear such quality music, as they only get what is forced upon them. THAT is my problem.

the negative message and lack of creativity is what mainstream is

[Vektruscen]

Big labelheads aren't embarrassed, they're elated that so many brain dead people buy their garbage.

[bobsicle001]

He's a genius. Fuck the shitty "music" at school, this pwns it.

[Fatbluepony]

Endless supply of talent..

[Kladionssj3L]

Impressive.

[cubanRAWNIE73]

i swear Steven Wilson is like a GOd!

[Volv093t]

ima noob, what other bands has he been in?

[georg3000]

Pocupine Tree!

And he produced Opeth.

[Tehchapster]

Blackfield too

[Daregmakil]

Also has made appearances in Opeth songs, as well as the supergroup OSI. He also is in bands such as IEM, Bass Communion, and No-Man

[5targazer]

Definetly my favourite track on the album. Insurgentes is so amazingly loud and noisy and this is a great coda, so calm! Love the harmony in last chorus, so low and warm=) really seems too short but hey, it's 4 minutes - almost twice longer than any Beatles' song)

[modena86]

Love the koto.

[thepiper2112]

This is probably my favorite track on the album..I just wished it was a bit longer..maybe a another verse..I just don't want the song to end when I listen to it!! lol

[woocifer]

I agree whole heartedly... I can't help but hit repeat before it ends because of how perfect the rhyme and chorus flow...

[HATECREWrulz123]

well it actually was longer. on the delux edition it has the older version of this song that has another verse.

[walrus9xxx]

This guy's stuff is AWESOME. If you don't know it, GET it. Also buy some Porcupine Tree, his band.

Some of the best, Intelligent prog. rock out there.

[murusufufu]

Damn !!!! I love Steven Wilson !!!!
