Steven Wilson

"Eternal Desire (in Limbo)" is a melancholic folk ballad that captures the quiet sorrow of Dante's Limbo from The Inferno.

With gentle acoustic melodies and haunting vocals, the song paints a serene yet bittersweet portrait of virtuous souls—ancient poets, philosophers, and the unbaptized—living in eternal peace but forever separated from divine light. Their only torment is an unending, hopeless longing for God, expressed through soft sighs and a recurring chorus of "eternal desire."

It’s a reflective, atmospheric piece evoking quiet dignity, intellectual beauty, and the gentle ache of something forever out of reach.
