I was looking for this today but couldn't find it. Thanks.
Now, after these two singles, I don't want to hear anybody say ''THIS IS NOT PROG!S.W. IS A MORON!" when the album comes out.

I feel like this will be better and make more sense with the rest of the content, there's a massive concept and story behind this album

This reminds me of some Downy commercial where a family is rolling around on the living room floor laughing and enjoying this shitty song.

Really wasn't feeling this. Didn't like the spoken word at all. Track overall is just not really what I want from SW.

I really dig the track, though I can understand fan skepticism. I'm sure the song will fit much better with the flow of the album, as it seems to be a heavy concept album. Really looking forward those "3, long form, progressive rock epics."

Interested to hear how this album turns out. I think it's good that he's taking a break from flat-out proggy prog prog

^ I totally agree. This reminded me of some Ulrich Schnauss. He made it very clear that this album was not going to be the Prog masterpiece of the Raven, and I'm excited to hear the rest of it too!

Does sound like an intro/inbetween track. Not bad though. Would rather have PT release new stuff.

That voice doesn't do it for me.
I know its about women and all, but Morgan Freeman talking about periods would've fitted better.

It's just indicative of how the album will sound. Don't jump into conclusions yet, it's like judging a picture by only knowing if the colors are dark or bright.

LOL so apperently google is celebrating Laura Ingalls Wilder's 148th birthday today. What does this have to
do with Steven Wilson's new single? https://www.google.com/logos/doodles/2015/laura-ingalls-wilders-148th-

Song sucks tbh, I hope the rest of the album is better, because the concept beneath it is not bad actually.

On its own it should just be an instrumental.

Nah, the vocals give context and it's much more interesting to listen to how the music compliments the vocals more than anything else

I think it was a pretty awesome move to make this the "single" for the record.
