Steven Wilson - Half-Light (The Future Bites Sessions)

Today’s session track delves back to the music I wrote for Deadwing, the movie that never was (but that may be again), a love theme between the two main characters. It was replaced on the Porcupine Tree album of the same name by a group composition, but I regret consigning it to a B-side, as I feel it’s one of my most beautiful songs.

Lyrics:

Such a pale light

Such a long night

Pick up that key

Don't drop your gaze in your coffee

Is it me?

Do I look beautiful in the half light?

It's been so long

Years have gone

Since I belonged

Hold me please

Stay with me

And I will sleep

I will go now

But I will be with you

Hold my gaze

Hold me inside you
