Songfacts®:

  • Drummer Gavin Harrison told examiner.com about this song, which was written by Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson. Said Harrison: "Steve wrote that piece and then presented it to all of us individually. He had a sort of guide drum track on it, so I stripped that away and tried to imagine what I thought would best thing I could do with it. I think that is one of the most interesting songs on the album. In fact, I think that and 'Time Flies' are the only two real 'songs' on The Incident that could be taken out and listened to independently... if you had to. If you had to make a single, I would think you could make singles out of either one of them."
  • This is a track from British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree's 10th studio album, The Incident. Released in 2009, it was their last album until 2022, as they took a very long break to pursue other projects. The band is all over the map musically, which limited their prospects on radio, but they gradually built a substantial following, and by the time they issued The Incident, they were quite popular across Europe.
