Steven Wilson will go down as one of the greatest musicians of the modern era

Speaking of Ninet Tayeb, when Steven was on tour for Hand. Cannot. Erase., he lost his voice to the point when he needed Ninet to come up and sing for the entire concert. The thing is, the only song she only knew Routine, but the band was playing the entire album. So what happened? The theatre crew brought in a music book stand with the lyrics and the notes, and she killed it. She didn't recite the songs either. One of the craziest concerts I've been to.

I never, ever tire of hearing Steven talk about his music.

This man is pure genius plain and simple.

A sincere apology for all those who don't recognize your brilliance, Steven Wilson. Fear puts people back to sleep, and your thought provoking music is a standalone awakening which, for those who don't want to see, is unwelcome. But music saves lives, and your music saved mine. For me, you can do no wrong. I appreciate every venture intro the abstract as much as every progression back to the middle. Thank you. I'm grateful you exist, because if you didn't, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't either. I'm a musician too, tho I could never be as good.. You're my hero, Steven Wilson.

Steven Wilson is a GENIUS!! I will deport whoever disagrees!

I fell in love with SW at the first time I heard. It didn't take while to start to research about his projects and start to think about produce music. Good music. Because of him I started to study and hear a lot of other stuff. I started to know music from another perspective. I would like to thank him for all of those things.

"I'm tired of Facebook" 10/10 AOTY

It's crazy how good of a songwriter he is. I was able to accurately guess what he meant in each song during one listen. Also I clearly remember each song, none felt like filler tracks.

Refuge is the greatest song I've ever heard.

I just love listening to him. One of the few artists who actually have something to say.

HEs SMILING WHEN HE TALK ABOUT PERMANATING END IS NEAR FOLKS!!!! Hahahaha Steven You are such an inspiration for me ...You are one of a kind! Greetings from Mar del Plata

All the critics of the album ...... silenced or maybe your journey on this train is over. Really nice exploration into depths of society, viewed from multiple perspectives.

To the bone is an incredible album

13:28 "Negativitihihi"

I like this album a lot more than I thought I would.

Very interesting video, I love listening to Steven speaking

A true artist with incredible talent and a visionary on so many levels.

A duo of Eddie and Steven will mark a major event of the human race! A real force of nature 🍭😇

A good song is a good song, no matter what kind of genre...

Song of I. WWhhooaa, what a masterpiece. Video, message, lyric, Everything is just to good to be truth!

Ahh, it brings a smiling tear to my eye when I see SW work in the studio. Being a studio engineer has brought so much to me and I am eternally grateful to SW for inspiring me to follow my dreams wherever they lead. It has been a long hard road but in my down times I can listen and watch SW's projects and feel ... better. Thanks SW for everything. meeting you in ST Pete Florida all those years ago is still a very fond memory. live long and prosper. also, drink beer. CHEERS!

Don’t mean to sound morbid but Pariah is made the ‘play at my funeral’ list (along with comfortably numb & the spirit carries on). Wish I could be there to see the reactions 😢

Is this guy really almost 50 years old? He barely aged a single day!

This album is growing on me with every listen. Methodically written and produced, it demands the listener to give it the time it deserves for the layers to reveal themselves. The joy of finding a new sound you might have missed earlier is sublime! This video is sweet and helps to appreciate the record even more by giving the listener more clarity on the intent behind composing each track.

The near 50 year old Steven Wilson is bringing such profound vision to his lyrics. Most of us feel we "get it" out there but listening to him and his lyrics gave me even more focus on the planet we live on. As this man matures into an old man it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

An absolute triumph!! My favourite track, Song of Unborn

I can't decide which I like better: Song of Unborn or Nowhere Now...but really I love the whole cd!!! So amazing...love Ninet on Pariah too !!! Wondrous expression!!!

I came aboard after hearing Blackest Eyes on Radio Paradise. Since then I've devoured every PT and Steve Wilson album I could find. I'm also a bit of a songwriter and if I could actually adjust my melodies, they would sound a lot like Steve's stuff. Over time, I've found that if I get into the groove of creating music, it becomes obvious that I'm the channel and the music comes from elsewhere. I can only try to direct it, like pointing a flashlight towards a previously dark area. This may or may not be the case with Steve but I can say that I've never in my life found someone who can bring forth so many great musical creations. Art and music are physical expressions of the soul. And he's found a way to channel it all into our minds. I'm with him for the long haul.

Well, cute gift for my birthday.

This is beyond perfection.

This album is every bit amazing and tears for fears Elemental album. It's has this epic grand sound and great diversity of music and songwriting. If your a music lover, this is a go to album

Simply. Incredible. Art.

I actually started crying when he explained the meaning behind 'Song Of Unborn'.

I just want to say a big THANKS, I highly appreciate you and your music, Steven. I think you've developed a stage where you have the freedom to release the music that´s exactly in the style you want it to be, with many people supporting and trusting in you. And this is an extraordinary achievement in todays music industry.

An album of the generation. Thank you Mr. Wilson

Obviously this album is poppier and more accessible than his previous offerings, but .... just, wow. It's so personal. It's less creative and more repetitive musically, but those personal touches just blow me away. I quickly fell in love with this album, and if it's not quite his best work, it's definitely very good.

The album is fantastic. My favorite is Nowhere Now,but every song is amazing:)

steven is a true artist

Brilliant album and great interview.Steve as always very easy to listen to when discussing his music.

Thanks for your music Steven and your intelligent explanation of your carefully crafted songs which will enable me to enjoy them even more. I came in at Deadwing, was blown away to find great satisfying prog rock still thriving (well after my last foray, Moving Pictures) and stayed for the ride. A most fulfilling journey indeed, and one of my lifetimes greatest pleasures for sure.

Ordered mine some time ago! It's on it's way now!! I've been tracking it....cannot.wait. Thank you, Steven, for being born!!!! Seen you in concert 4 times now...looking forward to future ones!!! YOU.ARE.MY.HERO.!!!! KEEP ON KEEP'N ON MY FRIEND!!!! :D

Can we just enjoy the music?

Steven is Brilliant !! seeing 3 shows from this tour !!

You never seize to amaze Mr.Wilson .. ordered from HDtracks and these albums although a different take still you can here your signature allover the album and your musicians

Since the "Raven..." on each album Steven bestows us with a song that has very emotional lyric theme and a very powerful solo, that just makes me so emotional, vulnerable and brings me to tears in a very beautiful and compassive way. 'Drive Home', 'Routine' and now 'Refuge. 'To The Bone' is such a masterpiece and Steven is definitely one of the greatest artists among all of the musicians in the world across various genres. Thank You, sir!

Thank you Steven for another amazing journey!

Great video! It really adds 'life' to the album. Thanks SW!

One thing I'll add is that as far as myself I am so scared of dying from listening to the actual cd, from a heart attack most likely. I think my feelings are so intense that I won't survive before long. Truthfully I am afraid of him, his biting remarks, his incredibly. Amazing music. I could go on...

So excitied!

To the Bone is my favourite Steven Wilson solo album to date noting that I love them all and that includes the shorter EPs. Question: Did Wilson meet his wife in the period when he was writing material for To the Bone? Hard to pick a favourite.... Detonation with guest Slovak guitarist David Kollar would be it.

Very strong stuff. Steven coming from several different angles, in terms of genres,

So excited for tomorrow

Thank you Mr. Wilson

Amazing video Steve! Your explanations give more depth to the songs than what is evident. Loved the album. :)

Some of Steven's comments call to mind Queensryche's Operation:Mindcrime and Pink Floyd's The Wall. And perhaps even Peter Gabriel / Kate Bush (Don't Give Up). I"m surprised no one actually followed through with the Mindcrime plot in real life, like the movie Taxi Driver. THANK YOU Steven for putting the in-the-studio / making-of albums out on youtube. I could watch them all day, chin-in-hands. And thank you for being at the fore of putting out your music on 5.1 Blue-Ray and for being honest in your music. I wish more would follow suit. Floyd's Animals is to come out later this year in 5.1 .

Thank you SW for this video. I have always wanted to compare my interpretations of songs with the composer's and this video offered a great exercise in that regard. Please keep doing this in the future :)

thanks for this nice video. See you in Switzerland

just received my Vinyl edition today... I'm a big fan of Porcupine Tree since 2000, so albums like Lightbulb Sun or Stupid Dream are my favourite....and so far I'm very impressed by Steven's new output.

To the bone is talk about Steven and his journey to take history through him his music and talented vioce and good spaker

Gracias por existir

great record. nice to hear his thoughts on the different tracks.

Incredible

another perfect record

Great álbum!

O maior artista de todos os tempos!

LOVE IT

*To The Bone* W I N N E R ! ! ! Best centrist dad album 2017

excellent interview, thank you for it! 8-) the new album is growing on me... perhaps even a bit more after hearing this interview. ;-) of all the SW solo albums, i believe "Hand. Cannot. Erase." is my favorite, although i'm not certain i can explain why. then again, i heard a statement in a movie once that i absolutely LOVE which seems appropriate: talking about music is like dancing about architecture. ;-) KEEP ROCKIN' STEVE! 8-)

Legend

woow 78/5000well it is a fantastic album I really liked the video and the disc

...Every time I get you know you through the amazingly interesting interviews-life confessions, I realize how beautiful person you are!!!🙏😌😊💎♦️✍️💎♦️✍️💎♦️💕💖🎸💖💕🌬🌊🌊🎶🎶🎶 .

5:00 How I write my albums in studio :dd

Steven please come back to play in Milwaukee.

Vamoooo esteban !

Songs that has a melancholy touch makes me happier than "happy" songs that makes me miserable...

It's everything great of course but we do miss Porcupine Tree :(

Your newest album is the best of 2017 so far.

Steven if you are board,because of social isolation I have two song beginnings that need a treatment, first is Monkey Man- Rolling Stones, second is Sheep-Pink Floyd. What I mean by treatment is where just the opening instrumentals need to be made into separate songs in themselves

One the people will do research on steven wilson's work.They will do their P.hd on steven's music. Mindblowing talent

Seems like I need to watch High Fidelity.

I like how you treat your shirts

I only have one wish, I get to die before Steven.

😢💕

Detonation is classic Wilson and its very bold. Takes gumption to write a song about terrorists.

Whilst this is my least favourite SW album, hearing him talk about it makes me like it more. I'll get it on CD soon then.

The best album ever.

Thank You for the explanations to your songs . We as listeners tend to try to interpret what is meant through our perception . Some of your thoughts are a bit funny . Some things just cannot be explained . Wrong is wrong some twisted thoughts are just that there is no justice to terror !

Mix tape reminds me of Perfect Life

Album is amazing. I have so many repeatable moments on it and I don't think it's should be flagged as "pop" album. Btw. Nice opening lyrics in "people who eateat dakness" ^^

All this time I though the song was called 'Permeating' (as in 'spread into').

✨✨✨

Cosmic

In addition to the descriptions "prolific" "genius" and "progressive" we need to add the adjective "eclectic."

There isn't a weak song on this record.

Yes people do make playlists for each other these days LOL

Permanating - channeling his inner Elton John

to be honest back in the time two or three months ago i mean , when i saw 'Pariah' ...I'm tired of everyone and that includes myself... what a beautiful lyrics well I said oh it's an awesome track the new album will be epic , i used to hate 'To The Bone' when i listened to 'Song Of I' , i was totaly shocked it sounds pop af (i like some pop song tbh) , but idk i didn't like it , after awhile when he posted 'permanating' uh i didn't like it too i sounds happy af , as he said " permanating is probably the most happiest song i've ever written xD " well probably it's the best album by wilson ( after The Raven That Refused to Sing ofc) , why he's so cute btw?? :')

The video is blocked in Brazil :/

How would Blank Tapes of sounded in the Genesis era, around the Nursery Cyrme era?
