Steven Wilson - Postcard Lyrics

Dude... I relate to this song so much. Yesterday I sent my ex a postcard that I promised before our break up (I recently broke up with him). And of course I'm feeling everything in the lyrics rn.

The feel in this song.This song makes being depressed ok.
Pure genius!

such a beautiful sad song

raw and real.. the power of Steven is amazing..

How come you know so much what depression feels

I think it’s time that I got off the kitchen floor
But is there really any point at all?
Waking up this morning felt the same
Better sleep while life is so mundane

It could have been yesterday that I locked the door
I blocked the windows up so I can’t be sure
Now I haven’t even got the will to eat
I’m lame and self-obsessed, that I will concede

I’d like to light a cigarette but I cannot
The lighter’s dead and the gas has been cut off

I’m the one you always seem to read about
The fire inside my eyes has long gone out
There’s nothing left for me to say or do
Cos all that matters disappeared when I lost you

Siempre en mi memoria.... Germán !

I've lost too many people that mattered...

Thanks for your work can't wait to see you in Houston!

Most music is so shallow. Wilson reaches into the depths and makes you really FEEL the music. So awesome thank you Steven, God bless you!

Beautiful

Damn you Steven. Why you gotta make me cry every time.

One of my faves 💃
SW is my hero!
Thanks for this post that has a beautiful picture to go along with it :)
Hello to all fellow fans who obviously have great taste in 🎶

The perfect song for a losing struggle against death and the immediate slip into the afterlife

Illusional 1:32

The Audio is fucked on this version

One of my favorite artists of all time. Steven is so passionate about music. ❤

how I feel every morning.

Que agradecido que Steven la haya tocado en el concierto.... :')

Apocalypse SC ajaja estay en las mismas que yo, repasando el tremendo concierto de anoche, la cagó!!! Saludos!

Fuck thats depressing

Seen steven on the latest tour, wow this guy is awesome, just starting to find porcupine tree , another great journey ahead, so much depth to his music .

dude i fucking love this song, i am a huge fan of all your work! and i hope youll keep dishing out sick shit like this foreverr!!!

What a song. What an artist. How can one listen to this and not feel for others?

I agree with that!

Woke up this morning, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head,found my way down stairs and had a cup. how can any one beat this for the start of a song. oops he just did it.

Another. Desperate lonely song that drags you in.

The most underrated Wilson song, along with Where We Would Be. It's like a soul-cleaner, makes you feel a little bit lighter after just one listen. Overdose might cause feeling like disappearing completely.

I'll second you on Where We Would Be. One of PT's most underrated tunes.

Radiohead had a song about disappearing completely ;)

About as cathartic as it gets.

This song and album saved my life.

There's so many hardships to deal with in this life and it's just amazing how music can push you beyond what you think is capable within yourself.
I just hope everyone is happy and really feels the music the way it's supposed to be.
Thank you Steven WIlson.

I'm the one you always seem to read about
The fire inside my eyes has long gone out
There's nothing left for me to say or do
'Cause all that matters disappeared when I lost you..

Danm, I love this song! Just discovered after a long resist to listen Wilson's work since I am a big PT fan

Oasis vibe, anyone?

It is a little like Oasis, but it differs in that it's good.

You should be posting on Oasis site, Steven Wilson vibe

Such an underrated song!

I can relate to the song so well .

It's sad, but I've never felt this warm in a long time. Weird.

For stuff like this you have to wonder who on earth would be compelled to hit the dislike button. There must be people in this world that get a kick out of just clicking the dislike button on random videos all day.

How can people dislike this? Soulful music!!

It's indeed beautiful. But, if the same song was composed by Porcupine Tree, it would be much more magical for sure. Imagine Richard Barbieri's effects!

Your forgetting PT is SW not the band.

Dave Night PT is indeed the band! All five of them were quintessential for the band to make great music!

...much more magical? ehhhh...?

Barbieri's effects are haunting and magical.

this song describes​ depression so beautifully​

Not Depression, describe hope after depression... If there´s a song that represent completly the depression, THAT IS "SIGNIFICANT OTHER" by Steven Wilson, check ir aout... Regards... (link for the song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By9nyZqdhKg&list=PLwZsG03IOQ2qcuHf7d_YMgXPD-jhPh3Qq

Among'st all possibilities, your composition instill a sense of togetherness, a bond I feel is shared among'st many and of all, the feel that I am not alone in this! :)
Thank you for giving my sadness a meaning and hope that its not a bad thing to happen!

you people are all amazing, I love you and I hope you love yourself too

Same with you!

i listen to this whenever i feel low
whenever someone lets me down.
Thank You Steven Wilson

semplicemente perfetta!!!!

This song gave me a serious feels attack worthy of sad pepe

He is truly the king of prog. him and Neal Morse are the most talented people in prog today.

Good tastes in music and TV shows!

Give Åkerfeldt a nod. He deserves it.

And Mariusz Duda. No doubt about that. My personal nummer one!

A tune that makes a heartache, ache even more,...damn, but it hurts so GOOD...'tis better to have Loved and lost, after all. Bless you, SW

20 dislikes? You're kidding me

Listened to the live version and I can't listen to this one anymore

Excelente cancion, de mis favoritas

Increíble y hermosa canción. Gracias por existir Steven Wilson.

Everything Steven Wilson creates is pure magic

Everything?! I can't say this about ANYONE.

Christiaan Jellesma pure narcotic

hermosa cancion

I love Steven Wilson's music. But this one is just so ... boring! Why Steven, why??

this is one of the most beautiful songs ever! :O

Just expressing my opinion. Thank you for your well thought out and articulate response.

I feel like it's meant to be "boring" being as the subject of the song has basically no will to live. I feel like a more energetic song wouldn't give the same emotional tone.

2:59

I think I can feel my soul melting.

0:21 autotune error jajaja

Felipe Montero he actually said he uses auto tune albeit in a different form I.e he uses melodyne to correct the pitches. Because he believes that an emotional take is better than a perfect take.

brilliant as always (great film music me think s

Ronnie newtownards

To all the ex's in my life that I sparked so much spite through... I'm sorry...

Wilson is a Genius

haunting

this guy is a god :')

A masterpiece

Perfect music and lyrics 🙏🏻

The man is a musical genius,end of

Simon Lamphee

this song made me cry... :')

Gabriel OT This song made me fry

Davide Imperiale this song made me try

This song made me dry

Too bad that I am still too fat to fly :(

It´s so beautiful! Makes the soul feel so deep and sad, but at the end alive!

So Good , ,,

All that mattered disappeared when I lost you...

Did somebody mention this song is about his dad? It doesn't seem like that but....who knows? It speaks to every loss I've known in my life, I can say that.

+baconrocks 1 its about loss, depression and suicide. In the booklet there is a picture of a man on the floor with a bunch of pills next to him. It sounds more like the loss of a significant other.

Haunting. Can't get it out of my head. It's making me sad. It's just as haunting as "Arriving..." was for me, but in a different way. It's very beautiful.

I wonder who the fuck disliked it!

lol easy there bud. im just wondering since its a pretty good song. lets not throw heavy words like "non-tolerant"!!
either ways your opinion is appriciated

Well i guess everyone has their own taste
Even when talking about a masterpiece

adnan hossain The heavily depressed possibly!

A fan of happiness or smile or another shity thing like this.

+Adnan Hossain: It wasn't the heavily depressed, it was some obtuse dolt! I suffer from severe PTST, depression and anxiety, and Steven's music has stopped me from eating 147 Grain 9mm Hydra-Shok rounds (Federal Premium Ammo) more than once!! While most of his music is melancholy at best, the emotions Steven imbues when putting lyric to paper telegraphs his pain and despair directly to the listener, while delivering a glimpse of hope that all will work out in the end. His words and music are cathartic to the emotionally scared; or at least that's what I feel...

I feel that Steven has had his heart broken before. Seeming if so, those type of people create the most beautiful music.

+Matt Vonborgenson I think everybody has had their heart broken at some time, no? But we can't all be as good at expressing it, of course.

He has told that sad music makes him happy, me too. Maybe he don´t need any reason to make great songs like this one.

I love his words
Just match with me
A real from the heart
...well well he is genius ...

This is my favorite song

Es demasiado bueno

i love u all

In 2019 I needed this comment.

What is the picture please?

+MrSamisan1 It's from a French short film. I commented with the title and a link a while back, but my response got deleted for some reason. I forget what it was called, but if you drag and drop the pic you have into the Google Image search box, you can find it- that's how I found it.

@Lea Stretch Thanks a lot!

@Mephiless s No problem! :) 

@Lea Stretch The name of the short film is:" One day", realised in 2012

I knew it had "One" in it somewhere lol

His most thoughtful song of his cannon--and about his father.  :-(  

Stunning poetry, emotion from the heart, Steven Wilson is a genius.

Hauntingly Beautiful.

Divine ! .

I call it the Genesis moment, fantastic.

Such a beautiful sad song, one of the many highpoints on the fantastic 'Raven' tour.

I love it :3
