Blackfield - Waving (taken from Welcome to my DNA)

[Galileus070]

SW is an artist.

[JetpackSniper085]

Steven Wilson is a handsome fella even as a Nintendo Mii

[ajabhimanew]

My fav. from the Album.... !! Remarkable...

[marinovisky]

Steven looks like John Lennon in this video

[CharlieHarperRulez]

The new album is great but, and I hope I won't take too many negative votes for this, I really don't like this song... they could have chosen a much better single IMHO

[uchihaitachi888]

SW was the guy on the left, fyi

[JuanmiSerranoEncinas]

Steven Wilson is not redhead.

[Ansuz793]

this video reminds me a Dire Straits' song called "Calling Elvis"

[gogolplex74]

Ironically, the only good song on WTMDNA was written by Wilson

[thelixir715]

@gogolplex74 Exactly what I was thinking.

[runningshoe1]

@gogolplex74 - sadly, I agree with you. SW seems to be juggling lots of projects ,maybe too many.

[Udziar]

"Money for nothing and chicks for free" :D

[iade38]

best BLACKFIELD album 

[TheAdam159]

@NjDevilsFan77 Welcome to my DNA is great. I listen to it all the time. SW never lets me down. Even though Aviv actually wrote most of this one. Blood, Oxygen, and Zigota are my favourites.

[TheAdam159]

One thing (among many) that I love about SW is that he can seemingly perform any kind of music. Ambient, progressive, drum n bass (his collab with Pendulum), hard rock, art rock, drone, soundscape, pop. The guy never lets me down

[Mantooth901]

Biggest highlight of the album...stunning

[Nikolevendi20]

Once again Steven Wilson is yet to fail me...

[ShellRage]

So beautiful. I still like the song "Blood" the most though.

[MyTearGarden]

I want a Steven Wilson puppet, it's like a mixture between Harry Potter and Woody from Toy Story.

[roja88]

The intro sounds just like Porcupine Tree's "Disappear"!

[MrJasonroy]

not the perfect track to start with, if we want to listen to some sample material from their last album

[varunshariharan]

fantastic video.. the amount of detail that has been covered is quite remarkable! people who have watched live shows by Blackfield will know exactly what I'm talking about!!

[19Avix]

just amazing..

[Nokiius]

Lista Przebojów Programu 3, witamy!

[Powersback]

@Nokiius 

[ItOffishul]

i think ive listened to this song every day since i first heard it. im a huge pt/wilson fan but ive never done that with any of his other masterpieces! this one just has a great vibe to it

[ItOffishul]

RIP Steven's father

[KoiChannel]

look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", very similar to blackfield in many ways!

[gogolplex74]

lol why does this remind me so much Gorillaz?

[NeedHeadMusic]

Nobody but Steven Wilson could do a song consisting of only two chords that still sounds awesome

[IntrospectIntellect]

You know Steven Wilson, I'd be so happy if you would actually stop playing the same chords again and again for every one of your songs. I wish you would break the mold and get out there. When I saw you live with Porcupine Tree, you stood around and didn't try to excite the audience like your opening group, King's X did. You're too safe. Do something risque and outside the expectation of everyone. Get some new influence for christ's sake and maybe you'll stop producing the same stuff.

[killercreek450]

@IntrospectIntellect if he does use the same 4 riffs, i havent even noticed. i beleive theres an art to listening to music. steven wilson is my favourite artist for me because his music prefectly fits into my personal music template. maybe if u would stop analyzing how the song is made and instead just enjoy the song u would get more satisfaction from it ??? :P

[fuwmg]

@killercreek450 Also, people have to realize Steven Wilson has many band projects. Blackfield is simply his pop/top 40 style band, that focuses on simple radio friendly songs with hooks and harmonies that were a staple of the 70s sound.

Porcupine Tree is more heavy or psychedelic progressive rock, and No-man would be in the adult contemporary vein, although they have some heavier riffs as well. Then there is Steven's solo works, Bass Communion (electronic) and is other works with producing

[RICbass78]

@fuwmg did you just say that Blackfield "focuses on simple radio friendly songs"? Kind sir, although Blackfield may be slightly less out-there than PTree, I think it's hardly accurate to describe their songs as "simple".

[fuwmg]

@RICbass78 Ok, simple is not the term I was meaning here. Compared to PT music, Steven says Blackfiend is more pop friendly, top 40 style song writing. I am a huge fan of everything Steven Wilson touches, so please dont chastise me for misuse of a single word.

Compared to PT works, Blackfield is much less complex and focuses more on the shorter, hook style sounds of the 70s and 80s top forty.

Or were you just looking for an argument?

[RICbass78]

@fuwmg not looking for an argument at all! Simply a huge fan of Blackfield and of PT and of SW in general. Also, thank you for possibly being the 1st person in youtube history to accept and subsequently correct their mistake :-)

[fuwmg]

@RICbass78 LOL it happens, we are all human and make mistakes. Steven Wilson is a god to me (unlike Xbox) lol.

So I am also a huge fan of Blackfield, No-man, Steven's solo work and PT. I do not, however, care for Bass Communion. Just not my style of music.

I also want to send my condolences to Steven for the loss of his father. My thoughts go out to him and his family.

[killercreek450]

@IntrospectIntellect and if you dont think he has "broke the mold", try listening to Bass Communion or any of his other side projects. they will change your introspective look on him greatly

[IntrospectIntellect]

@killercreek450 Already have. That's called "self indulgent wankery". Is there a line between that and making the music actually listenable to?

There seems to be a lot of narcissism going around in the prog rock circles lately and I'm getting fed up with it, whether it be playing it too safely or wanking off to their own ideas.

Where are my masterpieces? Why won't music surprise me anymore?

[ItOffishul]

kind of an ode to the fear of a blank planet theme....also end of the world ...."in your room do nothin but starin at flickerrrin screeeens."

[kennethmarv15]

Spoiler Alert-Steven Wilson will never write a bad song.

[BIGTONY2132001]

@kennethmarv15 Agree.

[BIGTONY2132001]

Respond to this video... I would lke to buy all of my Steve Wilson fans a beer!!!!

[AltHealthWORKS]

@BIGTONY2132001 thx man



[aidan309eu]

Possibly the best song on a very solid Art-Rock album. The video is funny and tongue-in-cheek. Exactly what to expect from someone like Steven Wilson.

[benjig12]

Definitely, a blackfield's job!!... awesome veideo and song!!

[WickedAng43]

Awesome - *S*

[paralyzing89]

downloaded the album the day after it came out and haven't stopped listening to this song in particular since. And all the lyric websites have the line "see if you can maintain your poise" as "see if you can maintain your voice" dumbasses...

[MrFastidio86]

gran canción. esta genial el disco.

[AwaKe921]

The song is great, but the video...lol

[thefoosa72]

We should make this the most watched video on youtube.

[JustFeuer]

I like it so much!!! I'm gonna be in the concert!!!

[Horomaru]

I wish I were a singing puppet as well too...

[D511104]

@NjDevilsFan77

True, it’s not right to compare it with the masterpieces of PT. Still, it is indeed a good album. One may miss Gavins perfection but Tommer Z is good.

[Warrioritm]

ke video tan mas pasado de buenooooooo!!!!!ese Sr. Wilson!!!!ke rifados todos sus proyectos!!!!

[Irminsul5]

yeahh man!!!

[Roaltar]

Dark Side of the Moon - "Any Colour You Like"

Stevie pays another tribute to Pink Floyd with this song just like he did with "Time Flies" as a tribute to "Dogs". Great Stuff

[boukak1234]

just genius, awesome, steven wilson is a master !!

[DarthKalia]

I think the video is fucking awesome. But, hey, that's just me.

[stroke128]

Es bueno tenerlos de vuelta, chicos :)

Aguante Blackfield.

[MassDeicide]

My new favorite Blackfield song. Amazing.

[nmacog]

love it - great track and video - the album is superb :)

[6060mk]

6 don't cling to the warm bleed in the trees

[rocketsfalls]

Horrible video, there's no "deep thought" behind it. It's just so shitty that fans don't want to recognise it... and the album too... I'm missing the old Wilson, what did you do with this project? :(

[NWG92]

@rocketsfalls It's got nothing to do with Wilson, for the most part. This is the only song he wrote for the album and the rest are all Aviv's doing. Blackfield was never one of Wilson's better projects anyway. Just listen to Insurgentes if you think he's lost his talent for songwriting and you'll see otherwise.

[6060mk]

The show in Israel yesterday was amazing! The clip is so cute...

[thesecretlifeofme123]

IM SEEING THEM LIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! *rob*

[TheSaxon48]

@thesecretlifeofme123 Oooo, how I envy you.

[NWG92]

@thesecretlifeofme123 Li li li li li li li li live?

[sefranis]

Joy, inspiration , happiness, the three key ingredients for this wonderful song!)) LoTta

[MrKorton]

Nice song but the video... it was interesting at first but it´s just too much of the same in total, computer figures up close doing the same things, I wish there´d be a little more variation in it, like switching to the real life SW and Aviv and the computer images back and forth a few times?

[znoahmarhoadskill]

this song is really fucking awesome, so far not as into what i've heard of the rest of the album though

[3fates]

Bad portrayal of the bass player. Anyone who's seen Blackfield live knows the bass player is never that calm...hehe

[Aggmo]

Despite everything this video resembles, I found that Waving is best listened to with your eyes closed.

[GettheKnife0]

I do beliieeve.......??? What's he say there?

[t3hpez]

crushingly bad video for a great song. sorry but i don't care what point it's trying to make, this is not what this song needed.

[Deadwing1411]

laralala la la laralalara la du du ♪

[thefoosa72]

seriously this song is so awesome

[fourteenthstar]

Best song on the album. Worst video ever.

[sefranis]

Really Awsome!!!! I´m looking forward to have new record in my hand!!!))) Love and support!/LoTta

[lotti68]

Amazing, I can´t stop to listen!!!)))

[auroristony48]

Can't get enough of this, just brilliant!

[3lh0m3r]

Amazing, waiting for the full record

[Ecrious]

cant wait to see blackfield in nyc death to ipods!

[Ecrious]

Fantastic!love the parody video; steven always makes me giggle some. always thought backfield songs were a tad short I forget what the song sounded like when it finished, guess that means ill give it another listen :D. this new album though is gonna be top art i bet.

[Brunoidsh]

Tenho vergonha



[bsrpdrumstudio]

Great friggin song. Looking forward to the new cd.....bring it on.

[MusicLover61843]

Loved the video and song. Brilliant!!

[Fleddergedda]

What the hell is wrong with the video? It's damn cool and fits the song perfectly!

[Ikilldkurtkobain]

mellowmeoutmusic.blogspot

[nutshell1234]

I love u blackfield..see u in Karlsruhe

[ceccavara]

awesome track

[SlashRose]

Good song. Video is take it or leave it. Not unwatchable, but certainly not the direction I would go with this song or band.

[tribaltyn]

never mind the fucking video

it's about the music

which is, as usual AWESOME :D

[system1818]

THIS VIDEO SUCKS! LOOK AT THE DRUMMER DRUMMING WHEN THERE ARE NO DRUM NOTES IN THE BEGINNING!

[shearnden1]

Steven Wilson can do no wrong..........FACT!

[namekanS]

The song is GREAT!!! but the video... =/

[mponce92]

nice. reminds me of the first blackfield music video that involved zooming out of portraits...now it's tv sets

[osmosis2259]

SW has no shoes on as usual :)

[dlkrdlkr]

@osmosis2259 Hhahahah ^_^ ... i dunno what's with playing barefoot ^_^ it looks gr8 tho

[turtle650hmb]

You guys are crazy this video is sick! You just need to see it from SW's perspective of everything he has done and what Blackfield represents to him, or you could just smoke a bowl.

[AirspaceFalling]

Song > video. The song is great.

[anouksmom]

Steven Wilson looks like Woody from fucking Toy Story.

[733quiron]

@anouksmom LOL !!!

[Powersback]

i like this song so much, but video is awful

[KveldHH]

i like it. it's away from mainstream ...

[grapeman56]

i liked the video.. lets not start flaming. Blackfield fans are supposed to be fucking cool. listen to the music!! SW wins again

[CheezStix1]

Great song! The video has meaning if you just pay attention!

[666Joeyy666]

I think it's a good video

[kitthehacker]

For those of you saying the video is horrible, you're missing the point. It's meant to be a parody of modern music culture.

Awesome song.

[herbalh]

@kitthehacker parody my ass

[BaileysBeads]

@kitthehacker Yeah I think I STILL miss the point.

[CheezStix1]

@kitthehacker I'm happy I'm not the only one who got that :)

[zeppelin8]

@kitthehacker This video makes so much more sense when you put it that way, thanks! I kinda thought it was tied in to a deeper meaning (like Fear of a Blank Planet) when it shows the infinite regression of televisions at the end.

[indyandsam]

@kitthehacker Maybe. Its still a dreadful video though

[xlicix]

@kitthehacker It's ok, though I think it would've been better with actual puppets :P I dislike 3D animations

[dreampoets]

@kitthehacker

beyond awesome songwriting...Waving's sense of urgency and melody, in all aspects of Blackfield's vocals, instrumentation and production arrangement haunts me with each hearing. The animation really intrigues the viewer//..if you listen multiple times, you fall more in love with the music.

:~

[dreampoets]

@kitthehacker

You are so right, this is an awesome song!...

I want to have these lyrics..so I can study them,..but more than this,.I want people to turn off their despicable Bieber, Britany and Brown bullshit ,...and to start to listen to the genius of Aviv and Steven , because this is REAL musicianship here.

:~

[YtseJam214]

They look like Miis

[Mism24]

Why, why, why?!

[Karolcia1993]

the video is a joke, but song itself is so beautiful and powerful

[thedraperyfalls26]

animation reminds me of no-mans "back when you were beautiful video"

[OutxOfxLife]

why not Lasse Hoile? :(

[sharongrint]

3> מחכה כבר לשמוע אותם בלייב

[WavingSun]

I dont think people are truly understanding this video. It definitely is supposed to be a mockery of everything in music..

[truebeliever21]

Great music - crap video.

[jaisonbass]

PT/BF/SW deserves more credit for their awesome music. it's sad to see the amount of crap in the mainstream music today.

[733quiron]

Steven looks cuter in real life ;-)

but this video made my day, you can see that Steven is barefoot as always, ho ho ho

Waiting for my cd and the concert!

[thedraperyfalls26]

The song really saves the video, but its about the music, GREAT SONG!

[Dowie100]

It's no Dire Straits Money for Nothing... (video wise I mean, the songs are too different to compare)

[Ikilldkurtkobain]

SW music vids - Lasse Hoile= This

[Th0rze]

Interesting animation style and all, but that's a very boring video.

[herbalh]

I thought PT's videos were bad but this is just horrible.

[herbalh]

what the fuck was that I don't even

[ConstantContrast]

Awful video.

[weischamp]

Steven Wilson = pure genius

[ETepic]

Excellent
