  • Does anyone have the video for no-man "only baby"?! i remember a short 10 second clip of it on the no-man site ages ago.. tim with long wind-swept hair rolling around.... embarrassing? but i still want to see it!

  • @beartunes

    Yeah, many people would love to see it... There are only very short bits of it on the Returing documentary, but they did not add the full verison to the bonus material unfortunately.

  • @TheGlassDot Yes on the second verse of Truenorth for example. And in a few of Porcupine Tree's song's. There is a song called It Will Rain for a Million Years on the remastered On the Sunday of life album. The "whine" permeates the entire frigging piece. Which is a shame because the song is very good. I just wish my ears wouldnt have to hurt so much.

  • @PennyDreadful1 Yes... it seems to be something he catches with the vocals. You hear it quite a bit in the newer album too.

    Video whine, maybe?

    Really is annoying.

  • If I ever meet Wilson Im going to ask him what the high pitched background noise im hearing in a few of his songs. Its bugging me to no end.

  • does anyone know the chords used for Beautiful songs you should know?

  • I love this song! And Ben Colemann on violin! WOW! I really would love to see the video to "Sweetheart Raw" (if there is one!)! I love that song! Tim and his frizzy beautiful hair! YAY!

  • @robs1642

    poor guy, go watch ruggrats 

  • @robs1642 It's simplistic. There's only ONE chord progression (there are several small substitutions, but overall it's the same). Why should the drums change if nothing else is?

    Beautiful? This song never saw beauty till it was done by No Man. Donovan's voice is crude, harsh, and flat out annoying. Whereas Bowness has a smooth, soothing, and mellow voice that compliments the song wonderfully. No Man creates an image of many Colour in this song, while Donvan's creates a sense of one......gray.

  • @PorcupineFloyd68 it's BARELY a cover.

    "alright. i'll take a beautiful song, sing it terribly into a mic and put ONE drum loop over it...yeaaaaah. thats nice....."
