So many musicians. So many. And yet so few can do what Steven does. He reaches right into us, takes our souls out, and then gently puts them back. If only he could know how many of us he makes life worth living for. I cannot express in words how this man affects me. I can only thank him.

And that got me to think, if Steven considers that to be a masterpiece, an album that is way different than all the music he's ever done, then he definitely listens to everything out there, and enjoys it.

Years ago I'd been walking in solitude through a beautiful wooded path amid falling autumn leaves, when suddenly a shaft of sunlight poured down on me, and I stopped in my tracks. A deep sense of grace visited me as I realized that although my belief in the beauty of the universe had left me unafraid of death, I feared the pain of life terribly, and a tear rolled down my cheeks. But the light warmed me and seemed to say, "Your path is safe and beautiful. Don't be afraid". I always think back on that wooded path as the country lane decked with the time to come, and the last lyrics never fail to bring that feeling, that mist back into my eyes.

It is a very good song. How do you know that this "is the most underrated song of to the Bone". Whose rating are we talking about.

Since I've listened to this song for the first time, it touched my soul and I knew it would dwell in my heart over the years. At the beginning, I used to read the lyrics in an external perspective, like some human or entity was providing wise advice on living for an unborn, as the title suggests. Nowadays, it became something so internal and intimate, by listening to this section: Now the world is exhausted And the wreckage is all around But the arc of your life Will still be profound It's not a warning for an unborn that will experience suffering. It's a message for someone who has already experienced an excruciating pain. The kind of pain that suffocates you, weighs in your chest and seems that never is going to relieve. It's for someone who has lived and suffered. It hits me so deep I can't even describe... it gives me strength. It helped me to keep going in a phase of my life where my traumas were unveiled and pain was almost everything, while my scars were bleeding. Now I see the lyrics as something that comes from the inside. It is a message that our inner voice teaches ourselves as we live and mature... as we strive to carry on through grief. That voice is trying to remember us what is truly important: express our essence, the things we learn, the love that we feel, what we will reveal, the memories that last forever in us... And is remembering us what is not essencial too. That voice is remembering us that we can overcome our pain and traumas, the wreckage that is all around, and still have a profound life. That voice makes me believe that, one day, I'll be truly born for a life of fullness, in peace with my essence. Don't be afraid!

Steven Wilson always writes at least one track on each album that blows me away. This is the one on this album.

"Don't be afraid". Words of wisdom to live by!

Hate to break it to you, it aint a miracle.

Absolutely stunning imagery fitting for Steven's equally trance inducing song. Needless to say this was *live*. It sounds otherworldly. The timeline of procreation depicted in such a beautifully done animation, also with usage of analog camera tricks blows me. Wish I could give a 1000 likes.

Steven Wilson, you are the seed of a tree in a world devastated by the self-destruction of consumption and the banalities of the market. You give hope to music, to the narrative and the unlimited possibility of conceptual art that few are sadly immersed in... Or maybe, that is probably the positive of it all. Again, thank you for existing and being part of your incredible compositions.

I love this song too much ❤ ! It reminds me our true, heavenly origins into the Space of the ancient Void. It's a glimpse of the Truth who reminds in Man his nobblest, highest and Divine purpose here in Earth. This song is just a bridge to the Heavens 💓!

SW has among the best music videos out there in my opinion. Love how he doesn't stick to one director but experiments, just like with his music.

Beautiful and Soulful and Uplifting Song.... From the Genius himself. Thank You Sir. Wilson... Liked even before this premiers 😂
