So naturally, emotions were running pretty high the first time I listened to it, driving back home with my older sister. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, and it took a second listen for it to start growing on me. But once I had some time to bond with it, I became a big fan.

I remember this day. Quite the emotional f
uckfest; however, it's almost as if they entered your life at the right time, no? As emotional as Porcupine Tree can be, they could have easily nurtured your soul back to Earth.
Deadwing will always bring me back to the tour Summer '06 when we were riding down that dark, dark highway in NC (was it?). Your brothers were snoozing in the back and you and I were singing along to each song (except Lazarus). That night, I silently promised myself that I would remember that moment forever. Then Pat woke up and screamed at us for being too loud. Emotional enough for you guys?

You're welcome for that, and yes these guys are brilliant live. With all the producing that Steven Wilson has done, I doubt he'd let one of his most popular projects sound like s
hit live. Anyone else hear this one?
