yeah steven wilson has some moments of simple lyrical brilliance.

 

[lizard]

that is so true.

"The creator had a mastertape
But he left it in a cab..."


but in his vocalizing, he seems to have the ability to convert the most trite rhyming into a web of ear candy.

I'm going to the show tonight actually

His lyrics are pretty good, but his vocal harmonies are incredible. See: Trains and Heartattack in a Layby.

"It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares"

I mean, how often does the word 'blunders' get used in music?

 

[lizard]

precisely!

how many times can you actually use an audio sample which says, "I want you to put Felix's penis on me!" and have it be twistedly appropriate?

as on The Swallows Dance Above the Sun

FalseTodd hates this line!

 

[FrostGiant]

Best line ever!!!

 

[avi]

how long are they playing for on the current tour? what time will I expect to get home tonight from a 9:30 show?

 

[Baliset]

each band did about an hour and a half

 

[avi]

damn my early schedule. I really hope they start on time and do a decent set change.

I love Steven Wilson's subtle use of nonsequiturs, good example being this potentially disastrous line in Sleep Of No Dreaming:

"Married the first girl who wasn't a man
And smiled as the spiders ran all over my hands..."
