  • If you fall asleep with me
    You can dream and drowse
    The minutes turn to hours

    We could climb a tree or two
    And watch the sun go down
    Upon our sleepy town

    After all the time I spent with you
    Summer went away
    And we just weren't the same

    It's just you and me alone
    Not grown ups but not kids
    You kissed me on the lips

  • Anwar Azad from Kerala,indiagoing to witness porcupine tree for the first time in my life!they are playing in Manchester next e.week and I'm lucky that I'm here. its gonna be a mile stone for me. they are still performing this song live. I'm gonna lose my s--t when I see Steven wilson live
  • Anyrrbahn from AssamWe, PT fans started a Wilson cult back in our med school hostel to celebrate the works and the vast expanse of music he has covered with his folks, everyday. We had a blast on his 50th (2017). I won't be able to stop if I started going on about it. A phase of my life is completely in congruence with Deadwing, if you know what I mean. I found a meaning to my life and a whole new perspective regarding life, death and survival with them. With all my mental and emotional might, I urge you to listen to complete PT collection (concept art courses through their veins) and of all of SW.

    With lots of love from a prog-nerd, Radioactive Toy.
  • Snake Plissken from South Of HeavenNerd Rock at it's finest!
  • Katya from Bangalore, IndiaAlso, I think it's better that their following is limited to an intelligent crowd capable of understanding and appreciating their music. I would hate it if some teenager went about singing their songs just because he thought that tune was nice or the lyrics were catchy.
  • Katya from Bangalore, India@Rohan, Delhi - You know, when you're writing about a band that is as great Porcupine Tree, the least you can do is get the name of their album right. It's not "fear on a blank planet," it's 'Fear OF a Blank Planet.' And while Russia on Ice is absolutely fantastic, don't limit your listening of their songs to just one or two. Listen to all their albums, from the beginning, and you'll realise that they are probably the greatest band alive today. Respect them, man! This is greatness in front of you.
  • Rohan from Delhi, Indiai was introduced to this band by a friend and have been hooked on to it ever since. listen to the album "fear on a blank planet" and the song russia on ice. It'll blow your mind.!!!
  • Mary from Montreal, CanadaThis band is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm serious. Just listen to it, it's GREAT. I totally agree with Alex.
  • Alex from Fort Mill, ScWow this band is REALLY underrated. Without a doubt this is the best post Floyd band. As soon as I heard in Absentia I got hooked. This band cannot be described without superlatives. If youre like me and cant stand Mtv music despite the fact that all you friends love it, and miss Pink Floyd, then check out Porcupine Tree.
  • Ashley from Moncton, CanadaThis is an awesome song from my favourite band. The whole concept of using that cult thing is interesting.
