Pink Floyd Lyrics

    ------ About the song Paint box performed by Pink Floyd

Their music was just incredible when Syd was writing and the rest were influenced by him. Except for one side of Wish You Were Here and a couple songs here and there, I got bored after Meddle.

    ------ About the song Echoes performed by Pink Floyd

This song. The guitar. The bass. The piano. Waters. Gilmour. The echoes. The lyrics. The time. Everything. Is just magnificent. Magnificent isn't even the right word to say how FREAKING magnificent These guys are! 👌

    ------ About the song Fat old sun performed by Pink Floyd

Saw Pink Floyd Fillmore East in April 1970- 8th row center (my best Fillmore seat ever)-also my first attempt to tape a show, which was not too successful-David introduced Saucers and I turned the tape off. There is a Fillmore West boot of the tour-check out Wolfgang's Vault where I recently saw the show offered. A few years ago I found the CD of the April 29th, 1970 final show, and got it and after 40 years of periodically putting on the tape, hoping the song would be there, there it was on the boot. That was a Happy experience. Recently bought Gdansk, and am so thankful that David took Richard Wright (RIP) on tour. Wright's keyboards were/are seminal to Pink Floyd specialness. So the last week I've listened to Fat Old Sun hundreds of times, as I am mostly disabled in bed with arthritis, and rediscovered Fat Old Sun- the perfect positive song. I haven't heard Atom Heart Mother in decades without a turntable. Richard Thompson- another favorite of mine- has a song You Can't Win or Can't win-check out Ducknapped for example, which has identical structure- two short verses and killer solo, but is the Yin/Yang flip side to FOS positive Yin, Can't Win is Yang side of the coin in the finest doom and gloom RT perspective. Shine on Brightly, -Procul Harum- my brothers and sisters out there in listening land. Thanks for my Ears.

    ------ About the song The Gnome performed by Pink Floyd

This is as cool as a kindergarten song but with a touch of peculiarity found I suppose in its bleak delivery of vocals. Gnomes here could be metaphorical. Perhaps pointing out to a person who belongs to a lower class, someone carefree, or someone who lacks confidence or is troubled.

    ------ About the song Julia dream performed by Pink Floyd

In my opinion, this song is one of the greatest ever written. Yeah, indeed! I think this one belongs on top over Songs like "Like a rolling Stone", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or "Stairway to heaven". It shows exactly what kind of a feeling Pink Floyd members had for Music, and how epic the text of a track can be, even if it is not as long as a short story. And I don´t want to speak about the way, Roger Waters and David Gilmour are singing it. If you listened to this Song at least once, you will know the feeling I am talking about.
But I am just a German guy who speaks in english about an english song. Listen to the Song yourself, and correct me if you think I am wrong.

    ------ About the song The gunners dream performed by Pink Floyd

One of my favorite pf albums and possibly, Roger's second delivery on what seems to be a THE WALL, THE FINAL CUT and PROS & CONS of HITCH HIKING trilogy?? Ha anybody eve asked Roger of such possible trilogy project?

    ------ About the song The Great Gig in the Sky performed by Pink Floyd

Decades of listening to the Dark Side brings me to my thought that the Great Gig is the premier female vocal of all time. It is arousing, touching, and slightly eerie. What a combination. The more I listen to it the more I like it, never gets old.

    ------ About the song Not now John performed by Pink Floyd

I disagree that this song and "The Final Cut" break at all from the lyrical themes; this song references Maggie, the Falklands, and most of the major wars of the past century. Actually, if I were to find a theme for this song, it would be Roger's take on the post-war dream, from the point of view of the desensitized people who are living in an empty cycle. The second character (Roger's) seems to have finally succumbed to the lifeless, news-fed oaf and joins with David's to bash the Japanese and mindlessly wave the flag.

Oh, and I see "The Final Cut" as being a continuation of the Gunner's Dream, with the depressed headmaster lamenting his wife leaving and detailing his suicide attempt (though he never had the nerve, apparently).

    ------ About the song Dogs performed by Pink Floyd

Who was dragged down by the stone. The millstone, as in the Bible. Matthew 18:6 "But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea."

    ------ About the song High Hopes performed by Pink Floyd

RE: "English Despiration"

The song is Time off Dark Side..."Hanging on in quiet despiration is the English way" and although not totally original it's a good application of a great quote from Thoreau's Walden:
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation...

High Hopes is the only song that gets close to touching the Waters Gilmour Floyd and I really enjoy it so well done Mr. Gilmour. With the kick start of Syd I believe that Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason were able to produce a sound that is truly unique and only could have manifested with those 4 individuals together; a perfect blend. I know from work experience that it is not until the tension producing element of a venture is removed that one realizes the quality the tension actually helped produce. Still, life is more than producing and should be enjoyed so when something has run its course and is no longer fun it may be right to let go and move in a totally new direction. I believe On an Island was a completely different idea for Gilmour and it worked splendidly, actually one of my favorite solo albums of all time. Gilmours timing and feel is second to none. Of course we all understand Waters giving us the Floyd we know and love but I'm begining to believe his mere presense even if negative helped bring the best out of the other members at that time. This may have actually been one of his greatest contributions. Fussy perfectionist have their place. I believe Floyd has over 10 masterpieces. The next best band may have 2-3 and most great bands don't even have 1 (just some hits).
