Steven Wilson – The 78

One of SW’s best – I’ll never get tired of saying the same thing for most of his tracks because they are! I even posted this in A Collection of Great Depressing Music but thought it deserved its own little dedicated tidbit. I love this looming then apocalyptic dread and the lyrics; 21 days to the end of the world/consciousness shift/something important, never forget!

What seems so real today, will soon enough become
The thing you’ve always craved, surely now I’ve become (the way I hear it: The fear you’ve always craved, will sure enough become — Wilson often makes his lyrics easy to mishear on purpose)

Steven Wilson – Puncture Wound

Two things about this video:

1) Awesome song. Once again, this is from the EXTRA (!) CD off of Insurgentes. Along with Collecting Space and The 78, it should have been on the main album. Maybe Steven just wants to impress people that like to look into his music just a little deeper.

2) Great video that fits the song like a glove. Like the lyrics say: Push, push down the earth
Feel my hand through your glove… I wonder who made it? It’s not by Lasse Hoile though I wouldn’t blame you if you thought it was.
