Collapse the Light Into Earth

[agolunda]

i know porcupine tree because of this video. fuck you wmg. i hate you for destroying art.

[aaronhoffmeyer]

Play the other video that contains Collapse the Light into Earth in one tab, then play this video in another, and watch this one.

Technology for the win.

[Lastbaku]

Worst WMG's marketing strategy ever!

[CollapseFilthyDub]

that is too cool

[frizzybob]

I think that photo would have looked better without a human in a weird pose taking a photo in it. theres my opinion.

[Dud3ism]

why it doesn't sound?! Fucking copyrights... this video was amazing!

[zeppelin88ab]

...wooooowww.. i though this was PT

[randy86]

can somebody who downloaded this video when the sound was still there upload it somewhere and give the link to it please ? playing the song while this video is playing doesn't help much because the original windsounds are not there which are essential :/

[rideswithastorm]

We lived in Sanger for about fifteen years and saw some AMAZING storms, but THIS one, I would have LOVED to see... we live in Chowchilla now, soon to move back to Fresno. FABULOUS job on this video... sorry about the WMG "infringement" issue... God Bless! :)

[Cyrus1932]

man this is great, overwhelming beauty of the Natur

[R5dizzle]

open just the audio part in one tab and open this video in another tab and play both and watch this video.......works for me :3 :)))

[007Pogo]

Just puck back the song please!!

[coldlife192606]

Favorite band...Favorite song...Thank you....

[heth6]

You should just re-do the video and put the audio back in and give it a little credit so they don't screw you over again

[AbstractNumbers]

@heth6 : I would but I sadly don't have the original video with me anymore. =/

[heth6]

@AbstractNumbers Ahhh that sucks!

[AbstractNumbers]

@heth6 : I know! I'm pretty angry that I didn't have external harddrive to upload it to (at that time).

[heth6]

@AbstractNumbers Maybe you could just record the video from some program on the computer

[AbstractNumbers]

@heth6 : Perhapsssss haha

[romanosontheroad]

@AbstractNumbers well im not advertising here but you could download your video with a program like dvdvideosoft and redo it because your video is super awsome, i hope we had things like this in greece

[username4youutube]

@AbstractNumbers

u can download this this copy from youtube

[DevonChastain]

@AbstractNumbers You can download the video easily, enter the URL into keepvid(dot)com

[LostandRecovered]

i fucking love porcupine tree.

[andrewghirst1974]

Look what god did to us.....

[iYok0]

The world is just an awesome place.

[meteorhero526]

To mute the music you wanted because you loved the feeling it gave to people is a limiting of artistic ability. it's like saying to a painter "You can't use purple"

[agolunda]

WMG-guys..

Its the most beautiful video on youtube in my - and others - opinion and YOU RETARDS DONT EVEN RESPECT IT!

What the fuck is wrong with you? it makes me fucking mad when I see like youre ripping out such great movies!

AbstractNumbers:

Watched it with the song as playback and its still impressing me,

Great respect to the you again!

[NostalgicDays88]

I think you should re-upload it and when you do, you should give the proper credit to the people who make this song... I'm not saying you don't but I've seen videos that have done that and they're still up with the song x[

I figured that would help... because your video was amazing!!!!

[LutionStackridge]

@AbstractNumbers

Why not just reload it again here with the music intact?

[Marco060191]

Amazing, it really made my day, thank you n_n

[sesseguro]

Hanno rotto il cazzo!!! non stanno proteggendo gli artisti ma i mangiauffa delle case discografica!!!!!!!!! MAFIOSI!

[VBEJFBREKJH]

@OsirisDunmer667

im doing that now:)

[Cerin616]

hah, i just play the song while i watch the video... this is truly incredible man.

[dreamsInMeteora]

unreal

[AbstractNumbers]

@dreamsInMeteora : exactly what i was thinking when i shot this.

[Marie0492]

where is the music??

[posmobin]

This (and still is!) was one of my favorite videos on YouTube. The music just fits the mood perfectly (although now I have to play the music myself). It just brings me to another place watching this video..

Thanks for keeping it posted!

FYI, I use your photo as my desktop background :)

[derrynator]

i would love to paint that. even though it would turn out to be a terrible painting.

[allinsecret]

i'm about half an hour north of sanger

this is probably the best i've seen the valley look :)

well done, i can't tell you how perfect your choice of song goes with this clip too

[angelldarko]

this is pretty amazing

[RLuteran]

where at is this?

[AbstractNumbers]

Sanger, California.

[RLuteran]

those are the coolest clouds i've ever seen

[ninjastep87]

*sigh*.....to be in that plane at the end.

[ninjastep87]

I'm literally upset about this video not having its audio track.

This would have been one of the best videos on youtube. The footage is truly incredible.

[AbstractNumbers]

Thank you so much.

[ninjastep87]

I assure you the pleasure is all mine.

[noteinteresa1717]

Wow....im speechless...BTW the song fits well with the video, try to put it back..:)

[meteorhero526]

wow. that must have been the most amazing experience in your life- to be able to be there-

[AbstractNumbers]

It definitely was (: I wish I can experience it again.

[redrobotmonkey]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SOUND??? I love this video, but there is no sound. Now i have to open to windows just to give this sound lol.

[cetmurmurici]

this is my favorite video on youtube.

what a wonderful symbiosis of picture an sound.

i wish the sound wasnt removed

[cetmurmurici]

thats one of my favorite videos on youtube

what a magical symbiosis of picture an sound.

i wish the sound wasnt removed....

[TheSubtleNature]

i tried a cover of this song check it out

watch?v=aXjUObEM8f8

[DonCattaneo]

the colors are amazing!!!!

[Bambercher]

I want to experience that , Wow, and listen to my mp3 player, which plays the song by porcupine tree

[RoseCrossVato]

I strongly encourage you to dispute the removal of audio, citing the fair use act of 1976, then get your audio back. See the youtube copyright tutorial video.

[AbstractNumbers]

thank you - the title is of a song by the band Porcupine Tree

[marnixdecroock]

but i hear nothing

[smuckerlingos]

someone stole the sound!!! aural thievery corporation!

[nocarey]

be sure to get Steven Wilson's latest release "Insurgencies", it's better than the new PT release

[Nauticus89]

*Insurgentes

[blhack]

Hi, WMG, I just wanted to let you know that I just purchased Porcupine Tree's new album. I found out about the band because of this video.

[sandersman89]

thats awefull they took off the music off that song went so well with it

it should just be the music vid

[ajnurad]

Why did youtube throw away this music from here??? Whyyy? It goes so awesome with this video!! The audio and video together give a gasp... This video is still beautiful, but it's not the same. I have been visiting this video several times up to now i think... This connection was so amazing, that it only helped Porcupine Tree to get more listeners and it worked like a free ad. In my opinion it definitely didn't disturb them in their cereer. So WHY?

[DemonLord1111]

that looks so cool i wish i were there

[SSJkiller]

It's a shame that the audio was removed, but to bypass that, I just played the song in conjunction with this video. It syncs very well. Nice job.

[wgardens]

fuck you tube deleting all the audio content...

[lastlivingsoul09]

i cranked that shit all the way up and once i went to another video...BAM!

[mc30va]

The audio is gone. But i still love the video- hope you can resurrect the audio portion.

[Erectoralporicy]

The first time I heard this song and truly appreciated it was after listening to half light watching the sunrise. The most beautiful moment in my life. Then this song (on random) played right after. It entirely destroyed the beauty of the sunrise. As a cloud passed over and cast shadow upon everything. It truly was the most significant and defining moment in my life as far as music goes.. Praise Porcupine Tree

[KoiChannel]

Hi, check out my channel for PT Stupid Dream and Lightbulb era type of music, it's written by me and highly inspired by PT, hope you like it. cheers!

[NostalgicDays88]

All you gotta do is credit the artist, writers and label so they let you use their song... there's still ONE video left on youtube who still has the song enabled cuz the person credited.

[thatasiangirl21]

WHY NO MUSIC????

[Worsthoofd]

Jesus tapdancing christ on a crutch, I return to check out this magnificent video again only to find it muted? :-(( I guess for now I'll just have to play the video with the music played manually in the background. *hint*

Dear WMG, I've tried to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head so far up my ass. For the love of crap, stop muting videos and start acting rationally.

[progkidjoel]

I posted a video of "Mellotron Scratch" from DEADWING, and after uploading, I got a message somewhere in the area of "WMG has removed this video due to copyright" :(:(:(

They aren't helping anyone by doing this D:

[dhughes125]

looks kinda like an nuke went off.... in slow motion

[Thedude112123]

Maker has a master tape my friends

[snowgoontwentyfive]

My favourite PT song, some of the most divine chords to me amongst all the string variations.

[blhack]

I know I've posted on this video like three times, but that is because I watch it almost every day.

I had never even HEARD of porcupine tree before this. I now own the majority of their music (purchased legally from itunes).

WTF, WARNER BROTHERS! Guys...this is a GOOD thing for you PLEASE ALLOW THE AUDIO TO BE RE-ENABLED. :(((((

[supun]

"Collapse the Light into Earth" went well with the video. It also goes well with "Light Mass Prayers" off of Signify

[clessiusmartini]

Fantastic ,but better with music!

[KATLINRIMER08]

scarey but awesome

[Jumpclimbroll]

ah gay i cant hear it!

[brunotvrs]

I still come here to watch the video while listening to the song :)

[sgsam]

amazing views to see. its ashame the music has had to go though it made the video even more amazing somehow

[blhack]

Dear Warner Brothers Music Group:

I *bought* this album *because* of this video. If anything, you should be paying abstract numbers for promoting your music for you.....its that thing you spend millions of dollars a year on, remember?

[thesocalwholesaler]

You should be a marketer. You totally understand the concept of exposure.

WB needs you.

[sunbird77]

Its a pity you had to mute this because i thought that the song went beautifully with this. I do like the images but its pretty ordinary without the music sorry

[Melfion18]

amazing

[j3ffc0r3]

that picture u took is amazing!

do u have any more?

haha

[LaneyStudios3]

Did anyone else have no sound?

[MichuZet]

Read info post from autor, plz ;/

[KoiChannel]

Hi! I'm a big fan of porcupine tree and a struggling musician who would like to get some constructive critique of my songs by porcupine tree fans! Search up "Less Than Abstract" or "Koi-Paper Wings (acoustic)" here in youtube for a helping hand! Hope you'll give it a chance! Cheers! //Patrik

[naldzo]

dam all music companys fagots that take all music from you tube

[tmazz85]

I agree with everyone here that says the song fits great w/ this video. Normally I despise pairing songs w/ amateur video, but here it really works well.

PT kicks ass.

[BadCompany98]

I can see why a record company would want to protect its copy rights, but removing this video won't get them any more business. I would have never found out about Porcupine Tree had they not had unauthorised videos like this one up on youtube.

[YoungbloodFilms]

California allways seems to amaze me. What a beautiful world we live in.

[blhack]

Dear Porcupine tree's label.

I bought this album BECAUSE of this video!

I just want you to know that nobody is going to substitute this crappy, low quality audio for the real deal. Especially not the type of people that enjoy PT.

Getting rid of the audio for this IS losing you money...wtf is wrong with you guys?

[watercreature]

Roadrunner are corporate wankers.

[felipebusnello]

After a little research I found out that this specific album is not labeled by Roadrunner, but Lava Records, which is part of Atlantic Records, of Warner Music.

Figures!

[TheCakeAintNoLie]

if someone really wants music for free he'll get it for free, there are plenty ways.

ripping it from youtube would be the hardest and most illogical way to do it.

nobody is going to rip music from youtube...

[ilpj08]

just beautiful

[PartyHardy17]

This is an amazing video, I play the song next to it, and its amazing.

[Limberger]

Shame about the audio. I played the song in the background though, absolutely fitting.

[oazarak]

oh man... now I'm really going to be angry, this is going to be unbearable... the song really was the perfect match for this stunning video... Indescribable beauty...

[DMirror]

Wonderful sky dude ;)

[fccruzazul]

i just played the song on my computer while watching the video, you really capture the beauty of the music in your video, again thats a shame you had to ute it. its perfect :D

[davidjm7]

hadnt seen ur video in awhile... forgot how cool it was...

too bad about the sound but i have my ipod right here playing the song along :P

[PAULIE23873]

I thought that "Collapse the Light into Earth" was the perfect song for this video, it's a real shame you had to mute it. However, it's still a breath-taking video and that will never change.

[AbstractNumbers]

Yeah I feel the same - and thanks! :-)

[jfk7373]

You should upload this vid in HD with music somewhere else... So we could download it . It is a amazing... I have never seen something like that...

[Astraldance]

:(((( noooo why did they had to do that?!?! the song was perfect for your video! i can remember the atmosphere that your video created...it was perfect! i can't even describe in words how it made me feel...dreamy! :-<

[AbstractNumbers]

Poopy right? Yeah I wish the song was still there. Thank you though, I really do appreciate it :)

[jfk7373]

awesome.....

[korda44]

looks amazing

[junkification]

Too bad you put the band's name and song title into your description sidebar...otherwise the Record Label-Porcupine Tree and the YT-Nazis would never have tracked this once great video down & located its so-called criminally infringing material by which you got coerced into stripping the footage of all soundtrack content under threat of forced removal, which sadly eradicates the glorious visual impact this video once presented us.

[junkification]

test

[junkmailmarketing]

Too bad you put the following description into the sidebar:

Song-Collapse the Light into Earth

Artist-Porcupine Tree

...otherwise the Record Label-Porcupine Tree and the YT-Nazis would never have tracked this once great video down & located its so-called criminally infringing material by which you got coerced into stripping the footage of all soundtrack content under threat of forced removal, which sadly eradicates the glorious visual impact this video once presented us. Now you know why...

[Aidyn05]

I don't hear anything

[AbstractNumbers]

PS: The sound is muted, asked by Youtube Members, so I did in order to keep this video still on here.

[Aidyn05]

I realised that after I opened info. I apologize

[AbstractNumbers]

No worries haha

[VBEJFBREKJH]

sorry about the spelling mistakes:)

[VBEJFBREKJH]

fucking arseholes..how dare they ask that..this video deserved the matesty of that song. I bet if Steven Wilson watched it, he would of thought the same

[disonant]

The video is still great! :)

[AbstractNumbers]

Thank you :)

[disonant]

I knew nothing of Porcupine Tree, prior to watching this amazing video. I ordered the "In Absentia" album, immediatly after seeing this. I wonder, if they realize that they're not doing themselves a favor, by removing videos, or in this case muting it.

[AbstractNumbers]

Really? Thats neat - and yeah I don't know either. Grah oh well, as long as my video is still up I'm pretty happy about that. I nearly cried haha.

[AfasiaFIN]

silly youtube staff... You should ask Steven if you could get this somewhere else... This something so beautiful.

[PlagueOf2009]

looks like ClownNase uploaded the same video

[EphemeralShine]

The sounds not coming back is it? :(

[AbstractNumbers]

Sadly not - I had to mute it for the better - was asked from the youtube members to mute it or remove the video permanently, so I did my best to still keep the video. I'm glad it's still up though.

[amandafraidenburg]

why? I love this song, that is why I came to your video...geez. :(

[AbstractNumbers]

Yeah, I'm sorry. It was the only way to keep the video. Just listen to the song and watch it at the same time, start the song and video at the same time. It should do the same.

[aquadonia]

For some reason, the audio wouldn't work so I snyched it with my own player. :o)

Such breathtaking visions coupled with Collapse just leave me awestruck. The whole thing is so simple and elegant. The ending visual with the plane moving into the clouds fit perfectly as well.

Absolutely fantastic!

[Apatamwa]

that was an amazing sky. the airplane at the end was proper ghostly. Love porcupine tree, no song was better for that video work.

[OregonDuck54]

jbwh I think your the only one whos posted a negative comment on this video so shut up. This is beautifull maybe to much for a jerk like you

[JBWH]

This is a new shit of mindfuck program... Warning!!!!!

[facemash]

That is just beautiful. The song takes on a whole other level of emotion with this.

[joshuamalott]

spectacular video,wish i could have seen it myself

[deejour]

if you only knew

[deejour]

if you only knew

[akrilnabarva]

if adultship means that videos like this don't impress you, then it sucks

i just know, that it should warm my heart and probably break me domn but i have experienced so many bad things in my short life, that nothing impresses me at all

porcupine tree is a lifestyle i chose

[Porcupinetrain]

This video is really good.I love it,and I love this song.

[OregonDuck54]

The meaning of collapse the light into earth is a simile to creating and spreading happiness and love in the world and that not even the darkest or most hatred things can stop the good

[akrilnabarva]

you're so naive

[joejoebead]

nahh man

the whole album is a story, about a serial killer

this is the last song and the killer basically realizes what he's done

like the line:

"I won't cover my head in the dark" (he can't escape his own actions) and "I won't forget you when we part" (he won't forget his victims when he's killed)

then the lines

"I won't heal given time"(he can't change, killing is his nature)

"but I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay" (he's letting a person go because he realizes what he's done)

[joejoebead]

then collapse the light into earth is like a sunset, which is like an end to somehting, in this case, the murderers life, because he knows he will be caught soon

that's what i think, and it seem to make sense

[talulatilly]

WOW...BEAUTIFUL

[joaoftl]

amazing, man! I never saw anything like that before...

[carterwhittington]

Best ending

[Stratophony]

i don't mean to knock on your video, cause it's pretty good.

but you could film a dog taking a shit; and add Porcupine Tree to the mix and it would automatically become a completely beautiful experience.

[LillGGaygangsta]

hahaah! Great comment! And true!

[Vektruscen]

Most beautiful song ever written.

[Allejansen]

Wonderfull song. It grows and grows.

Nice sky.

[eremia]

I love this video, makes me want to go for a drive and find such a beautiful sky. So peaceful. Thanks for sharing :).

[peptosxe]

amazing...... what a great day it was.

[chotukutty]

Wow..Beautiful Video..Great work..and superb choice of music ! :)

[ctfmcil]

i wish i experienced something as spectacular as this.. awesome video.. thanks for putting it up!! its very uplifting and beautiful..

[Rand0lphCart3r]

amazing shots, amazing music.

[costastheskater]

[enderwiggin42]

Christ this is beautiful :O

Its like something in a book which makes them believe in God. Wish id been there

[rastreador76]

wonderful video...

[DanielJames99]

that is incredible..

the music goes well with the footage.

[gidantribal1983]

wonderful video.

[berr86]

Have you tried getting in touch with P-Tree's management or anything? Because they should definitely see this great video you've made to their music...

[AbstractNumbers]

I haven't but thank you, that means a lot :)

[mustaine14]

Maybe you should.

[XxaldairxX]

pretty wish i could see these kind of things

[pantala1m0n]

Where was this filmed? the dry wall on that cloud is insane.

Brilliant video

Brightened my day

[AbstractNumbers]

Filmed in Sanger, California. And glad it was

a day brightener lol :D

[watdafreak504]

[AbstractNumbers]

Indeed - and I live in California. Yep yep :D

[katathilo]

[adrian5b]
