The new Porcupine Tree album is being released on the 15th of September. I am loving this first single, letting it repeat in the car these last couple of days. I think Steven Wilson writes some of the most beautiful songs. If this track is any indication, I’m going enjoy the new album very much.

(Hear it and see the video here.)

Time Flies:

I was born in ’67
The year of “Sgt. Pepper”
And “Are You Experienced”

Into a suburb or heaven
Yet it should’ve been forever
It all seemed to make so much sense

But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
‘Cause time flies

She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let’s dance a while

She said nothin’ ever happens
If you don’t make it happen
And if you can’t laugh then smile

But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
‘Cause time flies
And laughing under summer showers
Is still the way I see you now

How does time break down?
With no marker, things slow down
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged

I could tell you what I’m thinkin’
While we sit here drinkin’
But I’m not sure where to start

You see there’s something wrong here
I’m sorry if I’m not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar?

But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
‘Cause time flies
And the coat you wore to Alton Towers
Is still the way I see you now
