A day when you were young
Free to play along with time
Evening never comes
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen you shall be if you wish
Look for your King
Why can't we play today?
Why can't we stay that way?
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun?
Why can't we blow the years away?
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember
If you like this and haven't delved into A Saucerful of Secrets or the Piper at the Gates of Dawn, please do so. And yes, doing so in the proper state of mind will be helpful. : )
We've got tickets to see Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets next month (25th June 2024, Poole Lighthouse).
Can't wait to see/hear that

Richard Wright was sacked during The Wall recordings. Sorry to be a pedant but, he was out the band prior to The Final Cut
Richard Wright vocals.
From obscure albums. I thought I knew all PF's discs but this one's new to me. Very Meddle-like, going by this song. A bit dull, though.
"One who farts in church must sit in their own pew".
I was literally just going to make that comment. Yes it does!
...the ORIGINAL Pink Floyd
"Listen to the Flower People" this is not.
Regarding Dark Side of the Moon, on charts for 15 straight YEARS: "It topped the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for a week and remained in the chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most successful album and one of the best-selling worldwide."
Division Bell doesn't count really count as PF, since Roger Waters wasn't there.
During the recording of Wish You Were Here in 1975, the band were in the process of completing the final mix of Shine On You Crazy Diamond when an overweight man with shaven head and eyebrows, and holding a plastic bag, entered the room. All soon realized that it was Syd Barrett. Mason recalled Barrett's conversation as "desultory and not entirely sensible. He sat round and talked for a bit but he wasn't really there.” Asked how he had managed to gain so much weight, Barrett said he had a large refrigerator in his kitchen, and that he had been eating lots of pork chops. None of the band members saw him from that day until his death in 2006.

Third best selling album ever was Dark Side of the Moon. They would have really sold if it had been listenable! So many bewildering comments on RP.
That's interesting..?! Hmmm.....
HOLY COW!
I'm pretty sure I have NEVER heard Division Bell is their "only listenable album"...... your really missing out....
Plus, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, who was an engineer on the early Beatles' albums, and produced The Pretty Things, also had a bizarre, Top 40 hit with "Oh Babe, What Would You Say".
Interesting stuff. Thanks Proclivities.
Right on, man.
Yaaaay!
Right on, man.
album or also Ummagumma.

Couldn't agree with you more, although I've always said 'megalomaniac.'
Watch the video "P F Live at Pompeii" and it will affect your comprehension. Its all about altering our mental state, i'n't it? The finest rock video I own, on LaserDisk no less! Its up there with "The Grateful Dead Movie" (1974) as a way to open a tiny crack of understanding of the psychedelic era to your grandkid. Words don't.
RIP, Kay Seeburg.
I believe it's Richard Wright singing, with Norman "Hurricane" Smith playing drums.
Yep.
Sounds like Pink Floyd to me. Oh, wait...
If you read the books, it seems Roger wanted him to contribute more too, hence much of the fighting and his eventual sacking.
Odd that Gilmour did a song called "Remember that night", there must be alot of reminiscing on the Astoria.
Waters?

Today, it sounds contemporary.
Yes, it was far out, very much so!

When he was a local dj at old KRLA in LA he played the entire album one Sunday night. On AM radio to boot !
The coolest octaves in the history of rock...
everybody in my church loves this song...
Brings back memories of hazy college days...
Yes! Just start with the album "Relics" - the greatest hits of their early stuff....then you will find yourself drawn into the albums I imagine...
yes, Obscure Floyd is cool.
Obscurity is a problem. This song is way better than their later mainstream stuff.
Syd Barrett was the guitarist in the early Floyd (not the drummer). He was replaced by David Gilmore (who was responsible for the "Pink Floyd guitar sound" you refer to). The drums on this track were actually played by Norman Smith, the album's producer, rather than by Floyd drummer Nick Mason.
<facepalm>
I fail.
FML :)

Thank you for clarifying for this individual, and indeed for us all, Bill! :-D

Not necessarily. Psychedelia need not be chemically enhanced or derived - not for me, anyhow.
That's right. It just comes naturally to me.... whoa! What? What is that? What IS that? Oh, wow.... wow..... so.... beaut... i.... ful.......
NO!
yeah right..
+ 1
yeah right..
I LOVE older Pink Floyd...
Everybody in my hotel room loves this song...
That is one amazing hotel room you occupy. Keep the updates coming :)

Do you seriously not have anything else to say? Oh wait, that's right, Elvis is your dad and you miss him.

You Feel Loved for Evermore by ~Araen
The keyboardist, songwriter and singer of the Pink Floyd. Author of the Paintbox, Remember a Day, Summer '68, Us and Them, Great Gig in the Sky, Wearing the Inside Out and so on. Many say he is the most underrated keyboardist and musician.

"I can take or leave it, won't be the woebegone
Don't need a model universe to hang your pictures on.
You hide somewhere, you die somewhere
And then this senseless thought,
By hating more you're feeling more
And that's how you get caught.
They're never going to make it easy
Of this you can be sure.
I greet you from the wilderness,
I'll stay inside your door."

Rick Wright - Breakthrough
Nos, Adri, hát errÅl a képrÅl volt szó, most már végre összeszedtem magam
Yes. A Rick Wright composition - nice.
Not at all true. The state of mind of the listener is critical to the experience. It does not need to be due to the effects of various alkaloids or similar stimulants, although these can open the perceptive windows if not doors. The song you refer to is certainly not unlistenable. It all depends on what you are doing, what state of mind you are in, what other experiences you bring to the situation. What is your expectation of a song? There are many instances when a particular song does absolutely nothing for me. Yet, the next time I hear it, the effect can be profound. "Several species... " does not provide an easy listening experience, yet I am grateful for the times when it burrowed into my brain and left marks that still resonate. Maybe you need to play a bit with set and setting, if you get the drift.
This song is soooo good for the ears...
i like how you roll.
So good to hear their early stuff.
