Steven Wilson's vocals on "Bleak"

[Blackout]

This may have been posted before, but...

I'm totally psyched by Steven's vocal part on "Bleak"...
I just happen to LOVE that part

Anyody likes it too ?

Count me in!!!

"Devious mouvements in your eyes..."
Words cannot describe the sheer beauty of that very part; it gives me chills during my time listening.

His vocals wonderfully suit the lyrics. He's such a versatile versatile musician: he did some amazing guitars/pianio/vocals on Blackwater Park.

I really like his solo in the song and ofcourse the singing.

 

[warsofwinter]

He's un-simply(word?) extraordinarily an amazing musician

Me too! I thought he was only singing on The Drapery Falls....Didn't know that he plays a solo in Bleak, too...

I didn't even know it was him singing on The Drapery Falls

Where!? I honestly can't tell the damn difference

Steven sings a few harmonies in other songs. Harvest and Drapery are the only two, I think. That "Waking up to your sound again" line at the end, he's singing over Mikael.

some backing vocals in the last clean verses... listen carefully, and discover it out.

steven wilson has an awesome voice... albiet somewhat flatter than mikael's, but equally passionate... you can hear the difference... technically not as gifted a singer...

 

[Immortality]

He's great.

 

[Don Corleone]

one word: ASTOUNDING.

 

[Alcapoth]

For Bleak, I always thought that they both sing that one part....taking turns, like this;

"Devious movement in your eyes." - S. Wilson

"Moved me from relief." M. Akerfeldt

"Breath comes out white clouds with your lies." -Wilson

And so on.....

Yeah, I thought about that too... This is definitely a possibility !

 

[Cyclonus]

I can't tell the difference... heh... I always thought it was Akerfeldt... oh well, it is one of my favorite parts of any song, ever... emotive stuff...
