    Lyrics:
    She knows the streets where she walks
    Never were paved with gold
    Can't return
    But won't dream till she's old
    Leaving it soon behind
    City so cold
    And everyday now so long
    How could she have been so wrong
    And as the morning comes
    Shadows on her fall upon
    Walking crowded the streets
    She looked on
    Packs her case
    And tomorrow she's gone
    And everyday now so long
    How could she have been so wrong

      Oggigiorno purtroppo una band del livello compositivo creativo insomma GENIALE come lo sono stati i GENTLE GIANT.... NON c'è
      .... Eccetto ovviamente i reduci POCHI es JETHRO TULL,VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, CURVED AIR, RENAISSANCE,KING CRIMSON,YES,PFM,BANCO ORME etc ma quindi levato questi che come i GENTLE GIANT provenivano dal quel MAGICO periodo di SPLENDIDA MUSICA iniziata dalla metà dei sessanta fino a qualcosa anche degli anni 80 e .poi l'illusione della ripresa nei primi 90 con l'arrivo delle bands del NORD europa vedi ANGLAGARD, WHITE WILLOW,ANEKDOTEN, etc ma è stato un fuoco di paglia!!!!!!! Oggigiorno c'è praticamente un DESERTO levato qualche occasionale band di giovani musicisti che vogliono osare qualcosa di valido interessante in questi FETIDI anni 2000 ,DOMINATI ahinoi da AUTENTICHE IMMONDIZIE MUSICALI come un certo FRANCO BATTIATO rip aveva cantato.... PURTROPPO ci aveva VISTO LUNGO il grande GENIO di RIPOSTO rip!!!!!!!!

    Don't get me wrong, I think Steven Wilson is a great musician, his own musical work is superb, but I actually prefer the original mix, or even the 2012 one to this. This one lack the edge, some of the power and dynamic. It's too round and neat.

    • @emilobe

      @@emilobeThat would only describe a small amount of his work (Porcupine Tree from 2002-2009). He has many other great albums! For Porcupine Tree I would recommend Stupid Dream, beautiful atmosphere yet strong structure. For his solo work I would recommend either The Raven That Refused To Sing (not my favorite but the closest sounding to classic prog) or Hand Cannot Erase (my favourite album by him, I strongly suggest looking up it’s concept, it enhances the experience greatly. Very emotionally potent album)
