Today i watched a program called Pink Floyd, Classic Albums. It's all about the creation of Dark Side of The Moon.. How they discovered the new sounds and how the album was a construction of experimenting, overlaying and venturing into a new age of music. It's expression, its experimental, its meaningful and its pure genius.
I've always liked Pink Floyd and my like for them grows all the time, the more I listen to them.. but I don't think I ever quite got it before. Something today, whether its the date or the fact my mind is more susceptible or maybe the fact I'm actually listening?.. I don't know.. whatever it is, I get it. it makes sense, its.. just genius.. I cant describe it any other way. Pink Floyd is slowly becoming my favourite band. Every time I hear them, it sounds different, I hear things I have never heard before.. and connect to different lyrics, or different sounds. It's like pealing back layers and finding more things you never knew before.
I find it extremely hard to discover music that does more than sit in my ears. This flies around my body, my brain and enters my soul.
I always connect to a different song every time i hear them.. today was this.
Overhead the albatross
hangs motionless upon the air
and deep beneath the rolling waves
in labyrinths of coral caves
an echo of a distant time
comes willowing across the sand
and everything is green and submarine.
and no one called us to the land
and no one knows the wheres or whys.
something stirs and something tries
starts to climb toward the light.
strangers passing in the street
by chance two separate glances meet
and i am you and what i see is me.
and do i take you by the hand
and lead you through the land
and help me understand
the best i can.
and no one called us to the land
and no one crosses there alive.
no one speaks and no one tries
no one flies around the sun....
