The other half is somewhere else
A plague in the dark
Whines like dogs
I am restless, I am lost
Time freezes up
Flawless eyes
The rope you used to tie yourself
Dreams enter planes
Scatter remains
I reach for you, belying your touch
Snow starts to glide
I confide
This track is quite dark and threatening .... much of Insurgentes is like this. I think the 'noise' experimentation on the album gives it quite a special atmosphere.
I love all of Stevens work but I have to say, Insurgentes is still my favorite of his solo work. I absolutely love the dark atmosphere, its all him on this album in pure gritty fashion. This is when I really fell in love with his sound, that droning piano run through effects is by far one of the most strikingly distinct sounds I've heard in any prog
Wilson should compose music for horror movies. His stuff just keeps getting darker & more morose sounding as time moves on. I mean, I've always been a fan, but more so of his work with PT as opposed to his solo music, which is just too creepy for me. jmho....
This is probably the best song on the album... as if the rest of the album wasn't worth purchasing already (it is), this alone would justify buying a physical copy. Agonizingly powerful.
I wish the entire album was this dark. The problem with progressive rock like this is; it's so unique that I can't find more of what I really want to hear!! Storm Corrosion is my favorite, but there's not much like it.
Astounding song!! ...Its even more amazing live on the Get All You Deserve DVD..Great video ..perfect for this stunning ,haunting ,atmospheric song that totally gets your attention ...This is not to be listened to as background music Steven Wilson is the master creating sad but beautiful...heavy soft .....Beauty with the dark side
