This song gives me such a nostalgic feel is almost painful. It just feels like walking aimlessly and getting lost with your loved one, not caring about anything other than enjoying each other's company. It literally feels like a journey through some rural/industrial place with abandoned factories near the railways.

@fdveffjknv3451

Good anecdote: The teacher asked once what did we talk about when we talked about happiness. And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably the most accurate. And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm- whether it’s something or someone- towards us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being safe in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness.

Well to me, this is my metaphorical sheet.

I guess you could say it is The Start of Something Beautiful

@aindrilapal4138

It's May 2020. Kolkata is unbearably hot, humid and caught in the middle of a country-wide lockdown thanks to COVID-19. There's also the immense damage caused by the cyclone and its ferocious winds. I'm alone, at home, with no one to talk to. As I sit and contemplate, I look back at my life and this song plays in the background. The skies start to darken, in a while the streets outside are deluged by the heavy rains. It couldn't get gloomier. This song is an antidote to everything I'm feeling. For a moment, just for a moment, life feels alright.

@jojogpt

You can listen to this song when you are sad, you can listen to it when you are happy, at the start of your day or end your day with it. This song is meant to stay with you and give you the opportunity to forget all and just let this flow through you.

PT will always be at the top of my list.

@alonespirit_1Q84

@alonespirit_1Q84

@@aindrilapal4138 i get that feeling, i was also away for like 4-5 years from home, probably going to abroad once the situation stabilized. I used to go for biking in early mornings, near by forests, hills, riverbanks, the train tracks, sometimes with late sunsets. Those places carry a strange kind of nostalgia for me. While out there, songs like Trains, Lazarus, Time Flies, Half Light and more had comforted me for countless times. And now they are doing the same once again.
Well at least, you're in home now, hope things will get better soon. Rest easy and take care of yourself.

@nathaliewagner5773

in my life I had many songs that I called "my new favourite song" but eventually I stopped listening to them and didnt consider them my favourite song anymore. With Trains, it's different. I didn't consider it my favourite song, yet I always found myself coming back for it, no matter if i was feeling happy or sad, I always love listening to it and never grew sick of it. That's how I knew that Trains actually IS my favourite song. Thank you Porcupine Tree for offering me a place I can always return back to.

Ha I once asked my physics teacher for recommendations and he instantly popped up Porcupine Tree and King Crimson

@horaceosirian8993

You get that King Crimson is Satan, right? Kinda obvious, I know...

Less obvious is that KC is code for 33
(K = 11th letter of the alphabet, C = 3rd; 11 x 3 = 33)

Trust me, I could riff on occult / coded references in Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson forever, too...I'll give you a single tidbit instead:

• Lucy in Drive Home is a reference to LUCIFER (burned to death in fiery car wreck...)

• Lily in The Raven That Refused To Sing is Lilith; Hebrew goddess / demoness, first wife of Adam in Hebrew mythology (Google it) - Satanic icon.

PS: You get that trains are a common sexual reference, esp in movies, yeah? (Google...). Trains entering tunnels - surely I don't need to elaborate, hrm? (Again, Google). Well, interesting how the rear door or window of the train is lit as if by fire...hrm, I'll leave it to your imagination what that's about (any PT fan will know the loose theme of In Absentia is serial killers and the like...)

PPS: Have a Cigar, by Floyd, is a refernce to the casting couch in the music industry. Riding the Gravy Train is a very crude reference, to a bunch of men enjoying the body of an attractive, young up and comer willing to sacrifice their body in service to their career, one after the other ("riding a train" on someone).

"Come in here dear boy" So much sexual double entendre
"Have a cigar" AKA wrap your lips around this
Which one's pink? Who's the fairy / who's getting a train ridden on 'em
The name of the game
We call it riding the gravy train Price of entry: train rides whenever requested

@bhavikasicka7871

I discovered Porcupine Tree years ago, back in India, before I moved to the US. Steven Wilson's voice is phenomenal. His music tugs at something deep, evokes emotions unnamable, inscrutable... Such an underrated artist, truly.

@horaceosirian8993

His voice is often criticized as being lacklustre. I never noticed it myself, I mean he's no Chris Cornell, or Freddie Mercury, sure, but his music is absolutely phenomenal, and I dig his singing.

The vocal note he hits at the very beginning of Grace For Drowning...amazing.
The chorus of Open Car, live...incredibly evocative / emotional.
Synaesthesia, Sever, What Happans Now, Drive Home, The Raven That Ref. To Sing...

@Abhi-rd4me

As someone who absolutely loves trains since childhood, this song feels like poetry cradled on a melody. It teleports me back to my early school days.

Taking a train to go to granny's, who lived in a town in the Himalayan foothills of India, during my long summer break : buying comics from the book stall at the station for the journey, peeking onto the tracks waiting for the train to approach, staring agog at the engine as it slithered its way into the platform, stepping back out of slight trepidation as the mammoth 60 tonne angel rolled in front of me hissing, hands covering my ears in apprehension should the pilot blow the deafening horn when the locomotive slowly passes just in front of me...With adrenaline soared, eyes lit up and awe still intact, I used to board the coach and comfortably nest on my window seat for the journey to begin. Ah! The joy of having breakfast from the pantry while looking at the delightful countryside scenes of cultivated mustard and sugarcane fields swaying in the wind like the coat of a Yorkshire terrier on the backseat window of a moving car. Being extra careful while handling beverage glasses due to body roll of the coaches at high speeds required some dexterity in that restless age. Trying to count the electric poles flying by the window would make my head swerve like a metalhead at a live concert but only sideways xD Watching the cars from inside when the railway tracks ran parallel to the adjacent road, imagining them to be in some sort of an unspoken race with us, and then being happy for no reason when they couldn't overtake. The smell of sugar and paper mills (none too pleasant by the way, yet much anticipated) wafting through the opened glass windows would herald crossing of the interstate boundary. Just before our destination station there'd be a long curved section of the track. It's so steeply curved that you can easily see the locomotive and the succeeding coaches from the window if you are towards the back. As we passed that, it was time to pack our bags and be ready to deboard in a few minutes with the newly formed hilly skyline awaiting us...

As I reminisce these visuals almost two decades later in a far-away land with my eyes closed while this song plays on headphones, an overly curious friend nudges me from the side to ask : "what is it that you're listening that's making you smile non-stop for the last 5 minutes?" Totally unaware of it but not wanting to break free from the reverie, I wink and reply with a smile that has now momentarily turned impish from musing, "You won't get it", and proceed to fall back on my cosy sojourn :)

@ChessDiagnostic

I only played drums at the time, in 2004 or 2005, and I got this CD as "free promo" in Portland, OR after buying some drumsticks. I played that CD until it didn't work anymore until 2010 in my old toyota previa. This reminds of so much, girlfriends, first love, fear over the future, working towards things that you know will never happen, college, money. Now I have "made it" in a way. I am free and can do whatever I want. I'm having my first kid. Living in my house that I own. Time is strange, but so is human effort and how patience is a thing that people attribute to you after the fact. Getting what you want comes to the most impatient. But patience, I don't know what it is. But here I am. Thank you Porcupine Tree. That's all I can say, what a drunken rant.

Lyrics
Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head
Always the summers are slipping away
60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, radiant blur
Scars in the country, summer and her
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
Hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
Always the summers are slipping away

Those were the best 6 minutes of my life ! I'm so high and found this band , I feel blessed right now.

@blueriverg

One of my most favourite songs in the world.

@edwardbenoit3890

I've listened to this song a thousand times. As a songwriter, a musician, a fan... greatest piece of contemporary music ever. If you have ever feel in

@MsSkuli

The first time I heard this song was at an art festival. Me and this guy were out for a date, we sat on the bench of this tiny and colourful square and waited for the performer to start. He took his guitar and started playing this song, acoustic version. The guy I was dating kept talking and talking, but I could not hear a single word of what he was saying: the song captivated and mesmerised me in a way very few songs ever did. I haven’t met that guy ever again, but that moment of our date will never be erased from my memory, just because of this song.

I'm flustered, I cannot think of a better song than this

@jojogpt

I don't really know if it's my favorite song, but it's the song i listen to always. It's the song that I play no matter what I'm feeling, it's a song that takes me to a place I can't explain, some place where I think everything is alright.

@saaranganand

timeless, ethereal song. Thank you PT

@manco828

This is how music is supposed to be.

@Woo0922

This song makes me realize that how much I loved, and how many bruises I got. Thank you.

@GorillaPHX

I forgot this song. I forgot that I loved it, and how much I loved it, I can't explain well the emotions it evokes in me. All I can say is that to me it's so beautiful that it stirs something in me that wants to fight back against the malaise that years of life can sometimes coat over a human soul. sigh thank God I tripped over it again.

If there is indeed a God, he listens to Porcupine Tree.

@toprak3479

He plays* in Porcupine Tree, his name is Gavin.


Had to make this joke.

@ayuttaya.ambient

So many of Porcupine Tree's music are anthems to power. I always feel empowered no matter the message of their music.

@bb71185

When everything else in life turns to crap there is always music like this to remind us that there is a heaven.

@dickdastardly1262

This Band is FIRE !!!!!!!!

Love from CANADA !!

@ccandrew111

Words can never describe how much i love this song

@williamofriel7825

This song is amazing in so many way. Absolutely brillant, especially the banjo breakdown halfway through. Classic P-Tree, it never gets old.

@hugoigartua1227

It was a macroeconomics university teacher who once said in class Steven Wilson was his favorite musician and Porcupine Tree his favorite band who (involuntarily) introduced me to this band. I'm extremely grateful to him, this is pure art. He was a really good teacher, but I ended up failing his exam - I learnt few macroeconomics, I didn't understand it at all - but nevermind, at least I discovered PT, which is priceless.

@jpusar

Damn, this song makes me nostalgic for Amtrak trips. The long winding rail on impossibly scenic territory that stretches for miles.

Can't wait until we can all be on trains like we used to.

@Ninouschka

I remember when I was a teenager and recently discovered the song, I went to Paris and listened to the song in a loop for my whole time in the train (more or less 5 hours). It was summer, what a nice memory ♥

@angelovasquez23

10 años han pasado desde que conocí a esta banda, lo mejor que me pudo haber pasado sin dudas!!

@randlerobbertson8792

As a lifelong Yes fan. I can see they( porcupine tree) have consistently carried the prog baton on to new heights. PS Steve Wilsons prog remasters are exceptional too, offering new insights to already brilliant recordings. ❤

@SneharthoDey

Mallika. It's for every Porcupine Tree fans' best interest that not many people know about them. It is exactly the band's motive to bring together a community that understands each other. It's an "our thing" between PT and all of its fans. I'm glad that we  confined lot are lucky to know and enjoy them instead of 800 million fans with most of them having no idea of what to listen to but follow the majority bandwagon.

@MrShahid0072

Mental masturbation 😂

@tullfan7872

It's great stuff - the best music is the type where you can hear something really special in it, but can't put your finger on what it is. Porcupine Tree has that in spades. I'm a big Jethro Tull fan and I got to know Steven Wilson's work after I found out he had remixed some classic Tull albums. Now I'm a fan of both.

@richardshah

This song, makes me feel so nostalgic . As if iv always known it. But iv never heard it , its beautiful .

@bearwhocares9539

My first true love sang this for me all the time. Its crazy how songs you didnt appreciate at one point in time can bring you right back to a place in time.

@jojogpt

YouTube has officially added this song. But this upload is the one I always listen, to read the beautiful comments from the beautiful people.

@daitya1

In the memory of my best friend Aman who introduced me to Steven Wilson. I miss you brother.

@riciy

the drums are so good I'm crying.. the last part gives me goosebumps from hell

@jsims2126

been on repeat in my truck. such a good tune. deserves more views. but the people that have viewed knows how good this track is!

@stoneyj1a1

Heard this at a bar few weeks ago. Never heard of this band before. I'm a fan now. Good stuff.

@reshmidatta9005

Just brings back so many memories..

@ciaranhickey6961

I remember being a child and having a favourite song. Once I got a bit older, having a favourite song or favourite band was seen as being uncool. That you could commit to something and designate that as being your favourite, meant that you were childish, investing so much into something, like Santa Clause. Being a 30 year old man I can definitively say Trains is my favourite song and I’m happy to say that.
