porcupine tree - The sound of muzak (In absentia, 2002). Extrait d'une émission non identifiée.

The Sound of Muzak

Un titre calibré à la demande de leur maison de disques pour bien vendre (effet à moitié raté, in absentia est leur album le mieux vendu, à peu près 200 000 exemplaires dans le monde). D'où sans doute :

Hear the sound of muzak
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac
Stretching on for miles

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

The music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough

Dérive des sentiments.

porcupine tree - The start of something beautiful (Deadwing, 2005).


Always in my thoughts you are
Always in my dreams you are
I got your voice on tape
I got your spirit in a photograph
Always out of reach you are

Cold inside my arms you are
Simple like a child you are
I remember when you took my hand
And led me through the rain
Down inside my soul you are

The more I show the way I feel the less I find you give a damn
The more I get to know the less I find that I understand
Innocent, the time we spent, forgot to mention we're good friends
You thought it was the start of something beautiful? Well think again.

Mother lost her looks for you
Father never wanted you
I trust to love and then
I find you never really felt the same
There's something in your heart so cruel

Porcupine tree-fear of a blank planet

Fear of a blank planet est un concept-album qui évoque ce que pourrait être le monde d'un adolescent perdu du XXIème siècle (c'est-à-dire d'aujourd'hui), soumis à des troubles comportementaux causés par son mode de vie et les "médicaments" qu'on lui prescrit pour traiter ses désordres.

Egalement extrait de cet album (cliquez-moi).

Bonus 1 : Sentimental (même source).


Bonus 2 : version accoustique de Sentimental par Steven Wilson :


I never wanna be old
And I don't want dependants
It's no fun to be told
That you can't blame your parents anymore
I'm finding it hard to hang from a star
don't wanna be...
Never wanna be old

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day

I don't really know
If I care what is normal
And I'm not really sure
If the pills I've been taking are helping
I'm wasting my life
I'm hurting inside
I don't really know
And I'm not really sure...

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day
