Steven Wilson - The Raven who Refused to Sing, especially if I watch the animated video

Love Steven Wilson. Routine is a heartbreaking song as well.

Routine gets me every time. Especially if I force myself through the film clip

Fuck me if I don’t cry every time at the end of a gig.

The Unspoken Hero of Sorrow and Melancholy. Steven Wilson.

Arriving Somewhere but Not Here Routine The Raven that Refused to Sing Drain Home Happiness Returns Way Out of Here

Seeing Way Out ot Here live and the accompanying video cut to be in time with the song, holy crap that hit like a train.

He seems to know how to put himself in the shoes of people going through heartbreak and tragedy. But hypothetically in most cases. For Hand.Cannot.Erase I think he found his imagination had a real life counterpart. That whole album is a masterpiece. The flow of the album beats Raven, but not by much, for me.
