Lazarus (lovely song) and Lightbulb Sun. Some of the latter's lyrics are positive and about recovery from illness, and I love the uptempo sections with the excellent lead guitar. A great track from a really solid album.
As for P-Tree as a whole, I find much of it overly meandering and melancholy, so I much prefer Wilson solo and Blackfield; the melancholy is still there, but there's more concise song structure and plenty of memorable melody. |

I keep trying to come up with a song but every time I pick one it's a SW solo song. D'oh!

I love the into to "Cheating The Polygraph' is amazing,in fact love the entire song and most of what they do incredible songwriting and fluidity as well as playing. Trains comes close second pretty cheerful for PT :P

It is a good song. Simple, well written, nice words and really quite accessable and not very prog. It could have been a big big hit IMO.. I guess Porcupine Tree were bigger than I thought. I was surprised to see SW on BBC Breakfast in the summer, talking about his new single and being ask to define 'prog rock' at 8am on a school day! |

Nothing SW has done is particularly uplifting.

Uplifting? Interesting idea! If you stick with that criteria then really only Lazarus raises my spirits in that way. If I stretch it to songs that make me feel good because they are so damn good to listen to, then Arriving Somewhere.... and Trains do it every time - even though the core of them is rather depressing! ("...the last thing you hear......" etc. )
