Routine, Ninet Tayeb & Steven Wilson

YouTube

This is a bonus track from Wilson's "Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall" DVD, filmed at one of the final shows on his "To the Bone" tour. This gorgeously edited and directed clip captures a rehearsal in the vast, empty environs of the immortal venue. Tayeb, the Israeli vocalist whose velvet tones provide aching gravitas to Wilson's indelibly touching of a young widow's grief and, perhaps, a glimpse of hope. What an incredible band Wilson has — players with the wit and chops and empathy to provide the texture and heart for a tune that captures a whole tragic lifetime in nine epic minutes. There's more melody, dynamics and star-guided genius in this composition and performance than you'll find watching every Grammy-winning song back-to-back over the last five years. Carve 10 minutes out of your day to experience this masterpiece.
