[Naki Rat]

Which is the song that contains the line

"No-one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun"

Anyone?

Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7:06

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Sounds like a Friday song to me.

You Pink Floyd fans owe it to yourselves to buy the David Gilmour DVD "Live at the Royal Albert Hall". Or better still, buy the Blue ray version.

[Boob Johnson]

You owe it to yourselves before you die to listen to Pink Floyd on a DECENT stereo system.

Sennheiser HD-595's here, bloody magic!

To answer your question Dave, impossible to answer ONE favourite, like asking to pick ya favourite child! That and many Floyd albums are best listened to from start to finish rather than cherry picking songs.........IMHO.


Favourite PF album(s)?

In no particular order

1) Meddle
2) The Final Cut
3) Animals
4) Wish You Were Here
5) DSOTM
6) The Wall
7) A Momentary Lapse of Reason
8) Obscured By Clouds

& Roger Waters first solo album

9) The Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking <--- been thrashing this lately, bloody magic stuff. Eric Clapton did all the lead guitar word on this album.


Crank out this song BD, my fav song off the above Roger Waters album, Claptons guitar work is EPIC!!

[Crasherfromwayback]

For me...as I think it's so true to most of us!

[Elysium]

Best version of this song ever done.

No video but the audio from their 17 Sep 1969, Concertgebow, Amsterdam.

But what do you plug them into?

All a good set of headphones will do for most people is allow them to hear how shit their PC sound card is. If, indeed, they can distinguish the crappiness of their hardware from the aural mangling of their 128kbps MP3s.

If anyone wants to get good sound out of a computer, btw, I can recommend M-Audio sound cards.

* The version on Delicate Sound of Thunder is my fav. Many moons ago when I was learning to play the guitar, my tutor listened to it and said something like "if I'd played that solo, I'd put that guitar down and never pick it up again"

Really? I think that recording sounds kinda like... arse. Even at his best, Gilmour has lazy fingers; he's not a particularly good guitarist.

IMHO.

Who gives a toss? Lazy or not, as a part of the whole, Gilmour brings a magic to the music. And you'd sit there in judgement of his abilities, like you are some sort of god-like player yourself.
Back to your hidey-hole, young Pottymouth.

So you agree that he's slow on the strings, then? Good to see it's not just me noticing it.

It works for most of their studio recordings, but it gets a bit ugly at points during DSOT. The perils of live performance, eh?

And you'd sit there in judgement of his abilities, like you are some sort of god-like player yourself.

One doesn't need to be a guitar strummer to judge his abilities. A proper musical education on real instruments (and a decent set of ears) suffices.

like... arse.

Where's my fucking beer?

Where's my fucking beer?

Where's mine?

Is someone going to call the brewers and settle this? I'm on the road all day during business hours, now. Don't you work near a phone?

Noddy...YOU were the one that was going to ring them and ask if there were any UN NATURAL ADDITIVES in Steinlarger...not me.

I'm still REAL thirsty.

[Voltaire]

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.....on vinyl ...that you had to search ages for as it was 10 years old and well hard to find.
Who remembers the Record Warehouse in Durham lane and the one under what is now Whitcouls on Q st.
Hunting out old records....ah those were the days.....

'Unnatural additives' wasn't the wording of the bet, and you know it, sunshine.

Good thing the discussion was posted in public so that I can remind you of it, eh?

I'll enjoy that dozen lagers with no added sugar in due course.

"No additives, no preservatives" was my bet. Prove it other wise was what I said.
