My favorite song from Porcupine Tree, a rock outfit led by Steve Wilson.  A sad, harrowing tale of a boy who grew up with “wiring loose inside (his) head” and who matures into, probably, a full blown serial killer candidate.  Pretty unpleasant as you listen to the lyrics reflecting the main character’s reasoning that his acts are merely displays of love or romance toward his intended victims.  He seems to know something is terribly wrong with him but it is probably too late to do anything about it.  Haunting stuff.  Crunching, power chords alternate with more gently strummed guitar passages.  Steve Wilson has a knack for coming up with killer guitar parts!
