My little cousin Oliver, he introduced me to this show. uhh. called Eva. and Like, pretty much, like I didnt know japanese animation could be so cool. and like. it's pretty trippy like. this stuff about god and religion and everything and like. honestly it kinda blew me away you know? so. Like. gonna give it like. 9 outta 10 stars. so you should check it out. you can get it on. shuyt up boy. you can get it on uh
PT is without a doubt the PF of this generation. This is an absolute masterpiece. I stumbled upon them last year after searching trains on you tube and have since become a huge fan ever since. Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and Tool have always been my favorite bands, but I'm slowly beginning to think that PT may knock one of them out of my top three
This song feels cold, dark, ecstatic and beyond.. I have never been to Russia, but this piece made me feel like I was in a forest, in winter, haunted and beautiful ❤️
This is actually a "Russia" reference to vodka. This song is about excesses of alcohol abuse, not about the country. "You think I deserve this You said I was stupid All my thoughts are like coal But Russia on ice is burning a hole Can't stop myself drinking (**) Can't stop being me If I call, will you come and will you save me? I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well, what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time A drop in the ocean A significant motion Nothing melts in this cold But Russia on ice is burning a hole I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well, what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time"
It's crazy how Steven wilson has been making such masterpieces since decades and most mainstream audience is unaware of it. Seems like people aren't ready for this level of artistry.
Nishad Marathe I think that too. Even some people that listens to good music already told me its not that good and I just "how can you NOT feel their art?"
Sarthak Panda There are many songs on this level of creativity and magic . I think Porcupine Tree has a huge fan following in India , because a a lot of Indians are commenting on this video .
Just lost my dad a while back to a cerebral attack . This song gives me peace amidst everything. I hope there's someone out there listening to this in 2024. Cheers to you, whoever you are :)
That's probably the best song I've ever heard. I play it very rarely just to treasure it and eliminate the risk of overplaying it. The fireworks at the end are just incredible. Nothing can match the feels I get there at the end. How can something be so fucking good and at the same time not very well known.
Right. But Radioactive Toy, Anesthetize, The Raven and so on and on. I will be on my first gig in July. I wish the fans in India, you will see Steven too.
Going through this comment section, gotta say PT and Steven Wilson have had a huge fan following in India. Hand cannot erase live was such a treat! As much as I am waiting eagerly for Steven's next album, I so wish PT performs in India!
WoW! This just came up at work as I was just letting RUclips play. I started with Type O-Negative and it eventually brought me to this. I feel like it was a gift. I have never heard of this band. My first time hearing this. Magnificent! Chills. On first impression, a mix between Pink Floyd and King Crimson. I have been transported!
Whoa! I'm 58 an loved Pink Floyd since childhood, ever thought they where really the best... Now I've heard this for the first time... Their music has something of the Pink Floyd inside!!! wonderful!!
There is such love in this, such ambivalence, such hidden menace. Like many of you I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Genesis etc etc, .I "discovered" Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree through BBC radio 6, same place I "discovered" Cardiacs, Tool, The Pop Band Sufjan Stevens and many many more. Ever since John Peel died, access to anything other than "chart shit" has been increasingly difficult, thankyou R6 for keeping the flame of proper musicians alive
Discovered this genre couple of months ago and instantly it starts growing in me... This genre is so different from it's parent genre and being a Rock and Metal fan for years it feels really great to find something which is unique in itself..
Nice to see that Porcupkne trees fan base got bigger and bigger. And more people get into this fine music. I can remember back in 2003 as i was on a concert of pt, we were barely 100 people in one little concert room in berlin.

I am glad I found this gem after seeing Porcupine Tree mentioned as another prog band Gavin Harrison had played with (in addition to King Crimson). Beautiful! I will be listening to more Porcupine Tree!
Thing is, if you didn’t know, Gavin isn’t playing on this song. He joined the band later in 2002, so this is his predecessor Chris Maitland playing drums.
The studio version is sublime, but performed *live* this song is mind blowing. An unsung Steven Wilson masterpiece (and drummer Chris Maitland's final album with the band).
Such an amazing song. I’ve been listening to them for at least 6 months, if not nearly a year, and have just recently stumbled upon this song. One of my favorites. It’s mellow and manages to make life okay. Such a timeless piece and I know it is a song that will never get old to me.
I feel blessed to have this whole record on vinyl. The second side gloriously ends with Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth before It Is Recycled. This is totally the best band ever for me.
When I first heard it in 2000 at the age of 21 I had turned up the music so loud on my car stereo that I had burned out the speakers. It cost me. I will never forget it
After watching the HBO's Chernobyl ,this song gives me the feeling of isolation and emptiness.I think of abandoned furnitures and old buildings that they've been left to rot away...The lives that vanished into dust.
I will never forget how my best friend & I felt when we listened to this song during our first edible-induced trip. It was on that day we decided to attend PT's concert, whenever it happens. Roughly 1 year later, we both flew half the world across, from India to Amsterdam, to watch PT perform on November 7th, 2022.
In my opinion is one of the best of Porcupine Tree... is such deep and emotional, but you need to listen it more times for truly understand this masterpiece. The lyrics are so dark and criptic,but if you know the meanings of these, the entire structure of the music follow perfectly the moment described in the lyrics. And i love when i need to reflect to comprend truly a song, and in this Steven Wilson is a genius
+SheIsntReal94 In the beginning the lyrics start with a dark thought : "You think i deserve this? You said i was stupid" and introduce us to a man that is suffering for someone (probably his girl), all with a slow intro that is perfect to the crescendo of the song, that slowly progress symmetrical to the "thoughts" that the "man" is feeling. After he sayed "all my thoughts are like coal", and that's a metaphor, because like the coal, the thoughts are propellant for the flame of Pain in this case, the pain that he is suffering, and this pain is only "removed" by drinking alchol, and we know that by "But Russia on ice is burning a hole"the most metaphorical phrase in the song, infact the meaning is deep and ermetic: The "russia on ice" is a metaphor for Vodka - Alchol, that is burning the Throath ("a hole"), so he is drunking because he doesn't want to think. This phrase will be repeated all the times at the end of a strophe, and the meaning is that the only solution for solve the problems that he had is drinking and drinking, and this is clearly explained at the beggining of the next strophe "Can't stop myself drinking". After that he sayed "can't stop being me, if i call will you come and will you save me?", and this is explained the problem that he had with her girl, she doesn't like him anymore for what he became, and he is thinking that she even would not help him if he call for help. Then the music kick and start to have a significant crescendo, with the dark chorus "I see the whole thing come down, i burn it to the ground, well what the hell did you say?You said you hate me this wait, it's just a matter of time", the crescendo is symmetrical to the wrath that start to grows in he, when he is drunk at the ground, angry for the bad words that he received. But after that the music calms down again, because the sadness keep his thoughts, and the next strophe is the real deep end:"A drop in the ocean, a significant motion, nothing melts in this cold, but Russia on ice is burning a hole". That for me had 2 meanings, the first, that the "drop in the ocean" represent how a little thing can really hurt a man inside ( a single drop cause a significant motion in the sea), and that he is so "cold" inside now that he can't feel anything (nothing melts in this cold) and he turn back again at drinking alchol (russia on ice...). The second meaning is much darker and depressing, infact, the "drop in the ocean" could be a metaphor for his body (the drop) that fall in the ocean...he is commiting suicide in the water, and that's the real significant motion, the last motion of his body, and in the cold of the water any "burning thoughts" that melt his soul will be ended, and again the last reference to his alchol addiction that caused his death. In any case, both will end with his death for me "it's just a matter of time" and i can speculate that by the change of the music after that phrase. Infact the heavy riff for me rapresent his last thoughts of anger in the cold water or at the ground drunk, because the alchol make his effect and he is covered in rage, but after all that heavy and dark armony the music calm down suddendly, and a bell start to ring...like a bell of death, like the bell that plays at a funeral...he is dying, and finally all the bad thoughts are vanishing with the silence and peace of the death... That's my interpretation...was really long to write,hope this will help someone to understand more this masterpiece, and sorry for my bad english...hope this is legible!
harsh verma Thanks man :D As i sayed, i jusy tryied to understund this masterpiece by listen it more times and focussing on the beatiful lyrics, know more clear to me.
Was I living under a rock?.. How the hell didn't I get to listen to this band earlier.. I'm just so happy that I found a band that sounds like Pink Floyd..
Steven Wilson the most prolific, brilliant writer of music. I probably have like 30-40+ fav songs by him :) Can't say that about any other artist, nope.
The Absentia Tour about 15yrs ago at "The House of Blues" in Hollywood California, PT played this!....After learning the sound system there, was purchased from The Rolling Stones, this particular tune shook the Hell out of the building! Too Opeth and many PT fan's,It felt like a good size earthquake!.....LoL
Someone sent this to me back in 2020. I dont think I opened it back then thinking that I’ll listen to it later. No longer in contact w that person. Was going through the old chats and decided to finally give this one a listen. Haha. They surely do have a great taste in music.
This was initially a very difficult song for me. It just seemed sort of dragged and uneventful, with nothing special going on. A few weeks later, I'm totally addicted to this. 13 minutes? I want more!
You think I deserve this You said I was stupid All my thoughts are like coal But Russia on ice is burning a hole Can't stop myself drinking Can't stop being me If I call will you come and will you save me? I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time A drop in the ocean A significant motion Nothing melts in this cold But Russia on ice is burning a hole
Such a great song. Porcupine Tree is on a particular with Floyd. Total quality thru and thru. A large portion of the music on the radio is souless uncreative crap!! They learn a lot from Steven Wilson and prog in general
Probably nothing: " Wilson is a vegetarian and an atheist, He does not smoke and does not use recreational drugs, except for an occasional drink." (WIKI)
“Can’t stop myself drinking Cant stop being me” Hits hard. I’ll get better eventually. Psychedelics are my saving grace. So is music. Especially, Steven Wilson. I love what he’s done for the world, and I’m grateful for the inspiration he’s sparked for myself as well as others to live for their art.
To those who’ve found their way here
You guys are simply amazing. No words can express your music taste. Keep it up

@@minascholevas He knows about porcupine that's all that matters 🙄
my taste is A OK :)
Great comment
@@minascholevas I listen to grindcore in the morning and Miley in the evening.
just discovering this band, I am 70 and loving this sound and this bank
I won't forget the moment, when my cousin Oliver pressed play after we got in his car and said: "Just listen." This is gold
Odette Balog I test my new speakers by playing this song.
Good man your cousin Oliver ;) :D
As an Oliver I can confirm your Oliver is a good Oliver.

The perfect poignant, resigned questioning tone of a broken man..
Lovely song. Beautiful music and emotions.
3:44 AM, September 1, 2021.
White Desert of Kutch, Gujarat, India.
Steven Wilson's godly voice breaks eerie silence of this vast wasteland.
Uuuuuuh dreamy man
Man what an experience that might be
Serene
i am in mumbai listening to this with an ice cold beer all alone thinking of the fucking hold this band had over my life
Darn! Envy you
What a masterpiece. It's not easy to recreate that magical Floydian sound and atmosphere.
But Steven and the boys pulled it off.
PT is without a doubt the PF of this generation. This is an absolute masterpiece. I stumbled upon them last year after searching trains on you tube and have since become a huge fan ever since.

It's crazy how Steven wilson has been making such masterpieces since decades and most mainstream audience is unaware of it. Seems like people aren't ready for this level of artistry.
College radio stations do seem to play some PT every now and then...
Pop rock is totally dead too. They need a Steven Wilson to revive it. But its not party music so....
Nishad Marathe I think that too. Even some people that listens to good music already told me its not that good and I just "how can you NOT feel their art?"
Sarthak Panda There are many songs on this level of creativity and magic . I think Porcupine Tree has a huge fan following in India , because a a lot of Indians are commenting on this video .

This music is so emotional! Sounds like pink Floyd, even better. What a mix of music this song has. I am totally blown away!
That's probably the best song I've ever heard. I play it very rarely just to treasure it and eliminate the risk of overplaying it. The fireworks at the end are just incredible. Nothing can match the feels I get there at the end. How can something be so fucking good and at the same time not very well known.
Same! I keep this song on a pedestal and very rarely play it. Only when i want to drown myself in depressive feels followed by angry headbanging.
Right. But Radioactive Toy, Anesthetize, The Raven and so on and on. I will be on my first gig in July. I wish the fans in India, you will see Steven too.
Capitalism for you! Served right on the platter. Enjoy!
Ending with those haunting yet serene church bells at the end too.
Im telling you, that is the only way great music is great. None of that overplayed mainstream ass kiss pop music. Thats how my good man.

Often overlooked. Never overplayed.
True.... So mind blowing-ly and sadly true....
the album is solid
Steven is solid

bruh your comment is gold and the truest thing about this song.
After listening to this song for the first time in two years, I feel ashamed for neglecting this band. Forgot how wonderful their music was.
You always come back to PT

You think I deserve this
You said I was stupid
All my thoughts are like coal
But Russia on ice is burning a hole
Can't stop myself drinking
Can't stop being me
If I call will you come and will you save me?
I see the whole thing come down
I burn it to the ground
Well what the hell did you say?
You said you hate me this way
It's just a matter of time
A drop in the ocean
A significant motion
Nothing melts in this cold
But Russia on ice is burning a hole
I see the whole thing come down
I burn it to the ground
Well what the hell did you say?
You said you hate me this way
It's just a matter of time
seems like poetry to me. a masterpiece that doesn't even need lyrics at all - music can make you feel everything
One of the better songs I heard. One of the better albums I've heard. One of the best bands I've heard in my life
What a band, Richard sews it all together Gavin rips it apart and Steve aches..... blissfully melting together. I can die happy now....
this was Chris on drums, not Gavin - he joined later
The strings/synth part in the background at 6:00-6:45 is sublime, among many other highlights in this song.
Well spotted
nobody mentioned the bass!!
I am glad I found this gem after seeing Porcupine Tree mentioned as another prog band Gavin Harrison had played with (in addition to King Crimson). Beautiful! I will be listening to more Porcupine Tree!

The transition in 8:23 is SO brilliant - you would expect the HEAVY music would drop, but instead we get surprising plot twist reminding to folk music
7:08
The bass fill. So good.
Those harmonics are on point.
There cannot be anything more soothing than the solo at 3:01 , makes your soul weigh less and relax

I feel blessed to have this whole record on vinyl. The second side gloriously ends with Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth before It Is Recycled. This is totally the best band ever for me.
Yes. This album and stupid dream on vinyl are my prized possessions.
Why on vinyl in particular please?
Well it's pretty clear that Steven Wilson grew up listening Pink Floyd.
This band got me through some bad times. From love to suicidal tendencies. PT has been my saviour.
I got some new headphones today. This is the first song I listened to. Man, I've been missing half of this. What a true masterpiece.
When I first heard it in 2000 at the age of 21 I had turned up the music so loud on my car stereo that I had burned out the speakers. It cost me. I will never forget it
Utwór tak niesamowity, przejmujący, że aż żal, iż już PT nie nagrywa:( Totalne arcydzieło!!! 💟
I always come back to this song! This song knows me.
After watching the HBO's Chernobyl ,this song gives me the feeling of isolation and emptiness.I think of abandoned furnitures and old buildings that they've been left to rot away...The lives that vanished into dust.
That's probably because you watched HBO's Chernobyl
What's the connection between this song and Chernobyl TV show?

Someone sent this to me back in 2020. I dont think I opened it back then thinking that I’ll listen to it later. No longer in contact w that person. Was going through the old chats and decided to finally give this one a listen. Haha. They surely do have a great taste in music.
You know a good song from the quality of its comments section. Breathe. There is hope.
I recently got to know Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson. I have now 5 albums. This is brilliant!
Steven Wilson is the best musician of the new millennium period
again, one in an endless beautiful vein from Wilson and co.; extremely personal and yet universal....
Perfection , come on Steven make up Porcupine Tree again , your best band.
amazing how it is so similar to floyd yet so unique and on point! just truly magnificent!
This sounds like a pink floyd and king crimson lovechild
Yes Brother 😇😇😇😇
U cannot compare this to pink floyd nor crimson, this is fckiiiiiiiing gold
Honestly, I hate it when PT are compared to PF. It should be the other way around. Steven Wilson is way, way deeper and diverse that PF could ever be.
Our EXELLENT taste in music brought us all here...
Someone grew up listening to Pink Floyd.
You should hear his early albums
America too!
They had some good songs. I think they were on drugs or something.
and Black Sabbath ;)
@@edwarddore7617 Very true. His older stuff is very psychedelic.
I really REALLY love the ending of this song...that drumming.
Since 80s PT has brought up with many psychedelic Masterpieces. But this one is exceptional. Also love 'Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape'.
Beautiful upload thank you for the effort! Brightest shining star on what is a spectacular album.
Steven Wilson rules an unknown Kingdom.... and for all those sad thumbs down; please forgive, they really haven't got a clue...
Indeed
never gets old...one of the best of Wilson's production..
This was initially a very difficult song for me. It just seemed sort of dragged and uneventful, with nothing special going on. A few weeks later, I'm totally addicted to this. 13 minutes? I want more!
try radiohead "i promise"
You think I deserve this
You said I was stupid
All my thoughts are like coal
But Russia on ice is burning a hole
Can't stop myself drinking
Can't stop being me
If I call will you come and will you save me?
I see the whole thing come down
I burn it to the ground
Well what the hell did you say?
You said you hate me this way
It's just a matter of time
A drop in the ocean
A significant motion
Nothing melts in this cold
But Russia on ice is burning a hole
saurav Nepal
Jai nepal 😊
thx
haha sai ho
dami bro.
Such a great song. Porcupine Tree is on a particular with Floyd. Total quality thru and thru. A large portion of the music on the radio is souless uncreative crap!!
They learn a lot from Steven Wilson and prog in general
Keith Mcmahon yeah it reminded me of Floyd
Really, which bit? Honestly curious... I mean maybe a bit of late Waters era but... I dunno
@@kida4313 if you listen more songs, you will notice. it's defenitly there...
@@Peter_B I've listened to alot, live and on recordings, and I reall don't hear Floyd in Russia on Ice.
man you just need pink floyd, steve wilson and Radiohead to live your life and be awake to the fullest
2018... Russia is still on ice.. Amazing
This song hits home. Drinking vodka, working swing shift and feeling sorry for myself.
This song (and band) is our secret to the world.
At 6:48, I can feel my soul prep up to float with the music after.
I have no idea what Steven was on while he was playing this solo. Rips my heart every time.
Probably nothing:
" Wilson is a vegetarian and an atheist, He does not smoke and does not use recreational drugs, except for an occasional drink." (WIKI)
Isn't it amazing. He's probably the only artist to create such atmospheric music without being high on anything.
This was next in the queue after Tool what a masterpiece.
This is of the highest interpretative emotion. Such a beautiful and sad song.
It could be the most moving PT song. Simply.
+Joan Silentio heard drive home? i like it equally!
Tanmay Setia Yeah, it is an amazing, moving song. Have you seen Steven live?
Never! Hoping that happens soon.
+Tanmay Setia Drive home isn't from PT.
+SlaveCalledShiver I am aware that it's an independent SW project.
Top quality music....A massive thumbs up.
“Can’t stop myself drinking
Cant stop being me”
Hits hard. I’ll get better eventually. Psychedelics are my saving grace. So is music. Especially, Steven Wilson. I love what he’s done for the world, and I’m grateful for the inspiration he’s sparked for myself as well as others to live for their art.
Open petition to put more prog bands as lead soundtrack for movies? This track just brings James Bond vibes every damn time!!!!
This is so relaxing while you're high, you're alive. The true life; music.
This song somehow stirs such depth in the lake of emotions that is in my usually shallow heart.
horribly comforting. this song got me through some hard times.
Stefan Burnett passing through breakups, and life avoidance.... It's comforting to have pt by ones side
Exactly. This album and the Coma Divine live album are what made me keep my sanity during what happened in Edinburgh a lifetime ago.
what happened in Edinburgh?
tell us about Edinburgh.
just listened to this after having not played it for a couple of years - bloody tears streaming down my cheeks - wtf - blubbering like a bloody baby
