Steven Wilson Discusses Concept Behind New Album (A Top Story)
. He was inspired by the story of Joyce Vincent, a recluse whose body was found in her London flat two years after she'd died. Neighbours hadn't known anyone lived there and her family assumed she'd cut ties with them, so no one raised the alarm until bailiffs broke in to repossess the property over unpaid rent. Wilson tells MusicRadar: "I was aware of the background of my character. I had seen a documentary on her, and I was very affected by it. I carried it around with me for some time. "When I sat down to write new music, I found I was writing about a character based on Joyce Vincent. It wasn't like I made a conscious decision - I just think something about her story stayed with me. "I wouldn't be so pretentious as to say 'the story chose me' but there were elements of that. The more I developed the story, the more of a gift it became; it touched on so many things that I wanted to talk about." Read more - here.
