What do you think of this cover? It reminds me of The Life of Pi.

[Svejk]

Don't stop me now. ;o)

Immense lyrics....

Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of rhye

Can you hear me you peers and privvy counselors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of rhye

Sister - i live and lie for you
Mister - do and I'll die
You are mine i possess you
i belong to you forever

Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I'll get you

Be gone with you - you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I'll take you to the seven seas of rhye

[Tilly2]

I'm out of here. I don't like Queen.

[Slapshot]

Blame Svejk... ;0)

Some of Floyd's lyrics are better than poetry..... If someone asked you to write a piece about the word sorrow.... is there anything better???

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

[Tilly2]

That's why I love them so much, slappy. Wonderful lyrics. The music is an added bonus for me.

[Slapshot]

Have you listened to any of David Gilmour's solo stuff?? On an Island, Mihalis?? it's brilliant as well

[Tilly2]

Oh, yes, slappy. I think, if I'm truly honest, I'm actually a Dave Gilmour fan (who happens to be in Pink Floyd.....so I like them too)

Anyway, must away.

All around me,
Golden sunflakes settle on the ground.

Yes, I know......not Dave but Roger.

[Ellipsis]

So many good Pink Floyd tracks, but my favourite two are "Wish you were here" and "Comfortably numb" ...

I think I was lucky to be a teenager in 'the' golden age of music.(early 70s). Perhaps every age-group thinks the same, but I know. ;o)

[Tilly2]

A teenager in the 70's, Sweety? I could be your big sister!

[Arksided]

Looking forward to it, hard to believe Division Bell was twenty years ago.

[Slapshot]

It is hard to believe but..... good things come to those who wait.. ;0)

[Tilly2]

Thanks for that vid. ellipsis. I enjoyed that.

[Sipowicz]

Which one's Floyd? ;-)

[Slapshot]

the pink one....

[Sipowicz]

[Tilly2]

Good one, slappy!

[Arksided]

^ lol, brilliant.

Echoes (hope this works ... I've had a few fail clips) ... with the famous "Phantom Of The Opera" section stolen (err, sorry, I mean "sampled" by Andrew Lloyd Weber (Surely just a coincidence? Ed.) starting at 6:09 mins ...

[Slapshot]

Went to see Phantom at Her majesty's couple of weeks back.... was humming this the rest of the night....
