Cover Version, the album, collects all the material issued on the limited edition Cover Version singles series released between 2003-2010. The 12 tracks comprise six Steven Wilson originals and six covers and provide an essential insight into both Wilson's musical taste and his evolution as a solo artist.

In March 2003 Steven Wilson released Cover Version, a limited edition 2 track CD single. This was the first piece to be released under Wilson's own name (following an illustrious career as a member of Porcupine Tree and No-Man, and recording under various guises such as IEM and Bass Communion), and comprised completely solo performances, stripped back to acoustic guitar, piano and voice.

The single was made up of one cover version, along with one new, original composition. Replicating this format, over the next seven years, Wilson released a further five singles as part of the series.

Each of the CD singles were strictly limited. The final release (Cover Version VI) came in a special box housing all six CDs, with artwork designed by Carl Glover and a booklet of portraits of Steven by Hajo Mueller. Subsequently, an even more limited run of 7" singles were also pressed. Inevitably, as Wilson's popularity has grown - both through his work with Porcupine Tree and his hugely successful solo career - these long deleted releases have become much sought-after by collectors.

Cover Version, the album, re-packages this intriguing part of Wilson's career for a new generation of listeners.

Steven Wilson’s cover of ABBA’s 'The Day Before You Came' can be heard on the latest episode of the Kscope Podcast, listen below (for this and previous podcasts check out the podcast page):

Pressed on double heavyweight (180g) vinyl, the gatefold artwork has been 'remixed' from the box design by Carl Glover.

Kscope - Volume 6

The Day Before You Came

Kscope Store

Steven Wilson - The Day Before You Came (ABBA Cover from Cover Version)

A warm, mid‑tempo heartland rock song about two young lovers in a small town who believe their present will last forever. The lyrics follow their late‑night rituals, hopeful plans, and the bittersweet realization that time and change eventually pull them apart. Nostalgic and conversational, the song balances intimate storytelling with a singalong chorus that remembers youthful certainty while accepting life’s steady forward motion.

Lyrics

Intro  
[Spoken, intimate, half‑sung:] “Main Street, summer night — where everything felt like forever.”  
Vocal hum follows the spoken line, sliding into the first melodic motif

Verse 1  
He’s got a faded tee and a pocket full of change,  
She’s got a crooked grin and a plan to leave this place.  
They meet by the soda shop where the jukebox knows their names,  
Two restless hearts that think the world will stay the same.

Pre‑Chorus  
For a little while the map is only theirs to read,  
A whispered promise, a cigarette, a midnight creed.

Chorus  
Oh, we were young and we were certain,  
Radio on, windows down, the night was ours to keep.  
We held the stars like they were pennies in our hands,  
But morning came and taught us how to leave.  
Oh, life rolls on, and the pictures stay golden,  
Two names on a porch that the years will keep.

Verse 2  
She writes her future on the back of a diner check,  
He swears he’ll find a highway that don’t look back.  
They slow‑dance in the parking lot to a song that’s half a prayer,  
Laughing at the future like it’s something they can wear.

Interlude  
Vocal hum echoes the chorus melody

Verse 3  
Years will come with quieter shoes and different doors,  
They’ll keep the names like coins in old coat drawers.  
Sometimes a postcard, sometimes a face in a crowd,  
Sometimes the streetlight calls and you stand there proud.

Bridge  
Time’s a slow teacher with a stubborn, gentle hand,  
It folds the map, it burns the edges, it scatters plans like sand.  
But every now and then that corner calls your name,  
And you remember how the small things felt the same.

Reprise  
Oh, we were young and we were certain,  
Radio on, windows down, the night was ours to keep.  
We held the stars like they were pennies in our hands,  
But morning came and taught us how to leave.

Instrumental Part  
(Instrumental section)

Chorus Reprise  
Oh, we were young and we were certain,  
Radio on, windows down, the night was ours to keep.  
We held the stars like they were pennies in our hands,  
But morning came and taught us how to leave.  
Oh, life rolls on, and the pictures stay golden,  
Two names on a porch that the years will keep.

Outro  
Small town Sunday, small town Sunday.  
Small town Sunday, small town Sunday.

The record label Kscope was created in May 2008 to provide a home for the growing post-progressive genre and an evolving, flexible and adventurous style of music without boundaries.

In recent years, a growing movement of bands has started to reclaim and reinvent aspects of the progressive, post-punk and post-rock genres, re-establishing a desire to experiment with eclectic musical sources and state of the art widescreen sonic possibilities. Kscope was created to provide a home for this evolving and adventurous style of music without boundaries, and was launched in 2008 with new albums from its first signings The Pineapple Thief and No-Man. New albums have since followed from the legendary likes of Anathema, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree/Japan keyboard player Richard Barbieri, highly rated newcomers North Atlantic Oscillation and Lunatic Soul (the solo project from Riverside's Mariusz Duda). In addition to these releases the Kscope catalogue also now contains a series of deluxe reissues of classic albums from Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief, Blackfield and No-Man.
