Isn't this a divine creation! Steven Wilson should live forever!

Yes... The influence of Pink Floyd! It's brilliant i think.

There's something I don't get. I've seen that in all lyrics I've surfed in Internet that there's 16 lines I've never reached to even notice in the actual song.

Did the version of the song with that part of the lyrics just disappear? Or is it just that I cannot translate words to music yet and what sounds between 4:42 and 6:02 is supposed to be lyrics but my human, unevolved mind can only conceive it as music?

"don't you worry about it, nothing really matters anyway"...a line from the Technoprimates circa 1980...in other words...don't compare cross-time bands....just like you cannot compare cross-time athletes, thinkers, painters......etc..

hmm i wonder if anybody agrees with me hear. nobody ever sounds like pink floyd, yes wilson was influenced by them. but i dont think they sound like them. what do you think? love porcupine tree though

[JCCamillioni]

i love the vocals

[DeathToNewbie]

Nostalgia means;

1. a yearning for the return of past circumstances, events, etc.

2. the evocation of this emotion, as in a book, film, etc.

3. longing for home or family; homesickness

The lyrics of the song, I think, has reference for Alice in the Wonderland.

@Atlein You're right, it is of Greek origin :) (νόστος, "returning home", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος, "pain" or "ache"). It's also a word in the Italian dictionary though.
