The point where the harmonica solo blends into the guitar is terrific.

i'm Syrian, i've lived it all..and still. much love from Syria

I am 67 and listening music maybe 57 years, but this is something more than the music Steven. If it's P.Tree, Blackfield or SW, I can not find one bad song. And I listen your music really every day. Thanks a lot.

This is not pop, this is genius. The most talented artist of his generation.

"My dear wife, and my children of God the borders where already drawn for us" I don't know how Steven can sing those lyrics without cry... Too much feelings, it breaks me

real music. to the bone. to the heart. to the soul.

The guitar is literally crying. What a tone!!

Pop, prog, jazz Who cares? Music!!! Without labels

Anyyone who loves Steven Wilson goes to heaven...

S.Wilson does not make tracks for the general people, he makes tracks for other musicians, only few understand the depth of the quality of music he delivers. ♥️🖤

They say music can alter mood and talk to you, they are right.

This ain't pop this is magic!

This is going to be that song that gives you chills when you see them live.

You still sound like the Steven Wilson in the past. Really "Nothing's changed". People have criticized you over making pop songs. I reckon you should do what you like because it comes from heart. That's what I learned from you Steven Wilson. Thank you.

Doesn't matter the "style", Steven always puts his heart into his music. From the metal to the psych, to the jazz to the blues to the post prog to the pop. Steven is incredible.

"My dear wife and my children of God, the borders were already drawn for us!" I've lost the count of number of times I've listened to this song, but this line still brings me goosebumps!

the harmonica solo got me

Almost 3 years now and i never get enough of the harmonica solo, it just blows my soul every time (as the entire song as well) :')

Still just 2 AM in India and this song will remain the Best thing to happen all day!

This is not music this is something else

With love from my war torn, but ever hopeful and smiling Syria ❤️ thank you Steven 🙏

Being a Syrian and a big fan of Steven Wilson while listening to this song is a lot of feelings. Thank you Steven, and thanks for your amazing performance in Istanbul, I was amazed there. All the love ❤

The three staged rocket solo involving Paul Stacey​’s guitar, Mark Feltham’s harmonica and Steven Wilson​’s synth solo gets me every time...I can't help but raising my hands into the air! EPIC!!!!

Finally Steven Wilson driving home.

Steven knows how to blend humanity and music like so few can these days. The feels are real.

Divided by nation but united by Steven Wilson....CHEERS MATES..

I was going to buy the album, But now... I'm definitely going to buy the album. Steven Wilson never disappoints.

Steven Wilson is beyond music.

The Return of the King

Those harmonica, guitar and synth solos ufffffff

Best song on the album and one of his best ever imo. Absolutely beautiful, epic and cathartic.

Best song on the album

" My dear wife, and my children of God, the borders were already drawn for us " really hit me! How he's chosen music over a family and children and will never know what could've been. ( as spoken in the interview ) ALSO THOSE FALSETTOS THOUGH! AMAZING!

Crying, literally crying!!! So in love with it!!!

That harmonica part just gets me every time. BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM

as a syrian refugee i salute your amazing art and work, just thank you for doing what you do.

So far this album is shaping up truly great...I don't get it why people are hating. Can't wait to hear it full.Long live steve.

Best part of the song between 0:00 and 6:42

This song is pure PERFECTION The first time i heard it i was forcing myself not to cry, then the guitar solo made it hard for me not to. When i heard the harmonica i broke down.

The best i have heard from this album. Touching and beautiful. This is the SW i love more.

This track needs multiple listens to be able to appreciate all the layered, intricate sounds. Love it!

The mixing on all Steven's albums is so bloody brilliant. Jfc.

He really knows how to make a song flow through you. Goosebumps and tears, what an odd combination...

Coldplay and now him, using color powders after visiting India. "This is a happy music festival, but I'm not a happy music person" he said. We love your songs here.

After that my dear wife part, I had such uncomfortable feeling. Goosebumps all over. Although its 94 degree out I felt the cold

best harmonica integration i ever heard. wonderful.

But if you ask me... Here I am. That line gives me chills. The harmonica solo is just perfection. This song gets better every time I listen to it.

Literally one of the most angelic voices in all of music. 2:40-3:16. So good

and one last thing : I dont give a damn about all those labels, pop, prog, jazz, rock, classic anything that purists like to put in labelled drawers... this timeless music is way above all of this. needless to talk about the beautiful lyrics.. Masterpiece.

I am man enough to say that I LOVE Steven Wilson with all my soul. Pink Floyds Time had been my favorite song for as long as I can remember. But the first time I heard this it hit me VERY HARD and has become part of me. Thank you Steven for your gift and sharing your very essence with the world...you are a TREASURE!!!!

the drumming in the end reminds me of gavin and the solo, oh my god!.

This is not pop. This is amazing music.

Man that's a fucking masterpiece bro

This is Deep....I don't care in which genre the world puts you, your album and this song into... But this is the most Brilliant song on this album..For Me.

The screams of the MOOG are lifting my soul high above the clouds! The way the solos of the three different instruments are taking over from eachother is bloody brilliant!!! I don't think that has ever been done before.

This song is so much better that permanating. I like the fact that there are songs like this on the new album and it's not pop songs only. I also like that he is experimenting more with electronic sounds.

Can't help but hear Talk-Talk with Mark Feltham on the harmonica, and the guitar solo has a real nice Steve Rothery/Dave Gilmour vibe :)

All in this song (lyrics, images and the name) remember me an interview where Steven says that he "sacrificed" family for music. I feel this song very personal, and for me is the key to understand new directions and experiments is his music. It's all about music!! try new things, sounds, ways to do. Make music requires conviction, commitment and new ideas to contribute.

Cant thank Mr. Wilson enough to create one masterpiece after another. I will take his tunes to my grave. Living is such a pleasure with such songs

The buildup is incredible.

The solo, oh my God. Sooo sooo good, sooo blues-y

Music units us 🤘🏻 Greeting from a Syrian Refugee 🇸🇾

This sent major shivers down my spine. The solo section left me speechless.

King Crimson, Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson. Musicians that blend together so well. Interchangeable. Even Pineapple Thief is borrowing musicians from these three.

From those who stuck by the sound we hoped for to those premature critics, this should put Wilson back on track.

I have been listening to Steven Wilson for years now, and I can never wait for his new stuff. What an emotive genius.

This guy's talent for great music and lyrics is just insane. One of the best songwriters in music history.

Okay, this is a Steven level song! This is amazing!

One of the greatest songs I've heard in a long time.If I had any talent, I would of wrote something like this. I think it's beautiful.

This song cleanse my soul.Every word,every line is heart touching.Steven just poured his heart in this song. Steven always talked about the feeling of the music rather than technicalities.This song is perfect example of that. Love you steven.Keep it up.

These are the kind of songs Steven shines the most at.

This song transports you to future nostalgia

Real worth of an artist is known only when they are gone. Don't criticize Steven like people did to Chester Bennington and Linkinpark. They are artists and are free to express their music in which ever type of sound they want. Steven Wilson, no doubt, has given us the best music possible and he'll keep doing that till the music he writes comes from his heart (and I am sure he's not a person who will stop listening to his heart no matter what).

Wilson is a genius. All be it a very somber and depressing person. His music is beautiful.

My God, Steven . . . . . . . . . what a climb. The ascent of your heart, upon a mountain of refuge. (I've been in the music biz for Decades. Without doubt, that was The best "harmonica" solo I have EVER experienced. The bar has been reset. I just heard . . . a harmonica cry.) I must go now. A part of me just escaped. I need to find my breath.

The solo on synths from 4:22 to 4:55 is the best I've ever heard. Build up to the solo is a climax in itself and then the 33 seconds say it all. I think Steven Wilson is a genius in music.

One of the best solos I've ever heard! The level of emotion reminds me of some of the solos of David Gilmour.

Crying as I listen, so emotive and full of pain. A true beauty.

Warning, this song will hit you like a sledgehammer, right in the feelz.

The guitar solo is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally sweet.

Pure poetry embedded in musical notes.. He’s a genius

Now this is Wilson

"id love to see you again sometime soon. Would you give back to me now what you stole?" THATS PERFECT

My hope and dream is for Steven and Devin Townsend to fall into a studio and the only way out is for them to make 20 tracks together.

This is so good! The composition , the text, the subject, the outro , the mouthorgan and guitar , incredible!

Moved me to tears. Best song so far. Really a triumph! The harmonica and guitar solos/plights... And the ending... :')

Can't believe what I am hearing. 10 Years I didn't hear any new music from this man. Today I just decided to go back in time and listen to Steven Wilson. Man, you are a musical phenomenal. You still shivered my skin with your composition and songs. God bless you Steve. Thanks for keeping up this great music going on. Love from Saudi Arabia.

This is criminally underrated.

With each video from the new album, I become more and more excited to hear this album in full. I can't wait to sit in my living room, lights down, listening this in 5.1, all while covering up in multi layers of blankets from the chills that will be running down my spine.

Amazing guitar solo!

I listened to and enjoyed Blackfield, I listened to and loved Porcupine Tree, I listened to and admired the Steven Wilson band (how else can I call them? ) and then came Refuge...... what can I say. Is this the best ever written song ever?

I will never understand why Steven Wilson is so underrated. I hope he continues doing his magic as long as he can so that we can enjoy it :)

"Inspired by the plight of Syrian refugees". I re-listened to the song after reading that. Holy shit, what a hard hitting song. The drums really set the tone of inevitability. Sort of marching toward doom. Looks like one of SW's greats.

Thank you for your thoughts, and for caring about the Refugees in general, on behalf of the Syrian refugees.

I and my friend were just listening to this masterpiece. We’re wondering if our voices were among the children’s at 05:00. We almost found refuge and can breath again. Cheers!

one's surrounding is itself converted in to an heaven,when STEVEN WILSON song is listened..............

I haven't done much in life but I pride myself on being able to see Steven Wilson perform live

This song is sooooooooooo goooooood. Have listened to it like 100 times already... cant wait for the live HD version. Always preferred his live versions to the studio ones, since PT days...I think I am finally starting to appreciate his solo career..Its much more diverse and richer in terms of quality and breadth of material...So, Mr. Wilson has touched upon prog rock, prog metal, jazz, pop... what's next?? Can't wait...

I'm in gear heaven looking at all that equipment!!!

The music makes me cry. These Harmonics...
