Song Review // 2021-11-19

Porcupine Tree

Closure / Continuation

Harridan

Vocals

That humming or whatever around five minutes in is not something I enjoy hearing people do, in life nor in music. Some of the higher singing just wasn't for me. Not much of it was, really.

Music

The best part for me was around 3:20, but it just wasn't enough. I feel like I am losing my like for solely progressive music on its own (I can't hold this song completely responsible, lol). I was just bored.

Lyrics

I am glad they had some lyrics available. Some parts are very hard to make out.

I think this is about losing a relationship and resenting the person. I think the name of the song, which indicates a miserable woman, speaks to this.

It is time for the almost rain without you
I am in debt tonight and gone to earth for love
And I a shadow and what of us?
And what of me? And what is left without you?
And what is left without you
