I have started delving into some of the work of the people who he has worked with extensively, namely his bassist Nick Beggs, who also is a wonderfully talented song writer and singer. Just getting into his band The Mute Gods and I am falling in love.

This song is maybe the best example of how deeply Steven Wilson is connected to music. It's a real masterpiece.

in Steven's words “It has an extraordinary guitar solo. Guthrie’s playing is just sublime. That, for me, is the memory of this song. I had done a solo on the demo, knowing that I wanted an anthemic, epic solo at the end. In the studio, we did four or five takes, and each time Guthrie would reinvent the idea of what the solo could be. “The particular solo we chose was either the first or the second one. It was so inspired and had such a beautiful sense of logic and storytelling to it. It’s one take, unedited, and it’s just unbelievably brilliant. And it’s improvised - he didn’t plan anything. It was such a moving experience to hear him play it. I was almost in tears."

But I highlight Heart Attack on a Layby for its uniqueness to his soundtrack overall. Other than his project Storm Corrosion with Mikael Akerfeldt, that song stands alone as as a simple vocal arrangement that doesn't actually go out of it's way to be complicated. It allows the dissonance to do the work and it just sort of suck you while giving the illusion of harmony while changing almost nothing.

I was sad when I heard about Porcupine Tree and wasn't too excited about his solo work until I listened to Grace for Drowning. That, then Raven that Refused to Sing and then Hand. Cannot. Erase. And there were 3 solo albums that put prog in a nut shell for me. Those 3 albums are epic. So I fit into both armies, Tool and Steven Wilson. And it is surprising to me that for his solo work Steven Wilson took a back seat on guitar which he is exceptional at when hearing his guitar work with Porcupine Tree. Steven Wilson is the most important person in prog right now and has been. Even with his newer albums even though they are pop prog they are still a testament to Steven Wilson and his ability to just do his thing and do it well.

"Play the guitar like a Swede lost in the woods" Steven Wilson to Guthrie Govan. The intro and part before the guitar solo is supposed to be a reference to swedish folk music like Jan Johansson's "Jazz på svenska"

That song is so powerful, my story with this song is I already knew it but listened to it like maybe 2 times at best (because it was a chart I downloaded in the rhythm game Clone Hero lmao) and one day I was in my car and decided to play it but this time really listening to it, not just hearing it vaguely while playing a rhythm game :v, and it hit me, I started crying like a kid, I almost had to stop driving to get my shit together, it was rally intense, this song is a masterpiece of emotions.

Steven Willson has so many more treasures out there. The Raven, Routine, Song of Unborn, Veneno, Happy Returns, and it goes on and on...

Fun facts: 1.The intro and Intermezzo melody is intended to sound nordic. Influenced by swedish folkjazz in particular. 2.The solo is indeed Govan and it was played in one take. It utilized an infinite sustain device called Sustainac that was built into the guitar and gifted to them by a guitar company and was actually just a spur of the moment experiment. It blew Steven's mind so he decided to put it on the album.

I know I say this all the time but I love your channel so much. Your energy and positive attitude is infectious, and your passion for music is so apparent. Hope you had a great weekend, ALOHA from Boise Idaho😁🤙

Geebz. Haken - Crystallised is THE song you need to cover next. You won't ever forget it.

He NEEDS to do more Haken!

Maybe I'm tired, but that solo brings tears to my eyes, it's stunning. The whole song is a brilliant. Definitely one of my all time fav SW songs.

Steven Wilson's music, and I'm including Porcupine Tree's music, has taken a hold of me in a way that's hard to explain it was fun to watch his reaction to Guthrie's guitar solo

This whole album holds a very large amount of sentimental value to me. It was the right sound at the right time in my life and changed my perspective on a lot of things. Still love this song and I'm glad you and everyone else here does as well.

Think we are due another Wilson reaction Geebz man, you decompose his music to a T, and it’s a joy to watch ✌️😀

I really love to discover new songs with you. Thanks 👍🏻

The Raven That Refused to Sing is a must from steve wilson. Amazing song

This song feels like an emotional extension of no-man's "Things Change" - if that song is a snapshot of the raw moment of change, this song is trying to find the silver lining by reframing the past.

PLEASE react to "Steven Wilson-Luminol Live Mexico City" you will LOVE it.

One in a lifetime solo

I just adore your channel!

GG’s vibrato and string bending is second to none. Just pure feel.

I would love to see more Steven Wilson! If you covered The Raven that Refused to Sing, that'd be incredible.

Just found my new artist to listen to! Such cool lush different chord changes... pure art. Thanks for the great reaction!

Nice review. It's fun to see someone with your ear chops/musicality/perspective appreciate what this song brings.

Thank you so much for choosing Steven Wilson’s music & certainly this song. He always moves me, musically & just the naked song ❤️ Greetings from the Netherlands

Yes. Comfortably Numb vibes for sure. Including an incredible guitar solo at the end.
