Fear of a Blank Planet (2007)

"Lazarus" is a single by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, released in March 2005 in Poland and Germany only. It contains a radio edit of the title track plus two songs that were later added on the DVD audio version (Half-Light) and the vinyl edition (both songs) of Deadwing. It was accompanied by a music video directed by Danish longtime collaborator Lasse Hoile. The single charted in Germany at #91. The part in which Wilson sings "My David don't you worry, this cold world isn't for you, so rest your head upon me, I got strength to carry you" caught some attention after David Bowie released his last album Blackstar which had a song that is also called Lazarus.
