Lately I have been listening to:

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Trains makes me cry every single time.

Such a great song. What's it actually about? Do you know?

Yeah Trains is an amazing song. I am not sure about the meaning of it though, the lyrics are kind of open-ended where it can be interpreted in many different ways

This is what I've been seeing. I just looked on a song meanings site and there are interpretations all over the place. It seems The Sound of Muzak is the only song on In Absentia that is easier to interpret.

You've just answered your own question...

I guess so lol. I was hoping there was one concrete meaning that I just hadn't heard yet. But I guess that's the beauty of that song. Some say it's autobiographical for Steven Wilson. Others say it's about lost love/relationships. I've seen others about it actually being about a plane crash and that's what the "60 ton angel falls to the Earth" is referring to, with trains being a separate metaphor for some kind of memory.

It's interesting reading some of the interpretations, though.

I haven't listened to that PT album yet but am looking forward to it, i'm on Fear of A Blank Planet and The Sky Moves Sideways right now.

Those are two pretty different PT albums. In Absentia is more like Fear of A Blank Planet. Less spacey and more metal influences. Great songwriting all around, though.

I love the drums in the later albums. The drummer they had for their early albums is fantastic but Gavin Harrison is just on another playing level IMO
