"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
sky?

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.

Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

My empty spaces disappear when Goodbye Blue Sky morphs into Empty Spaces, thanks Bill and God Bless RP

Metallica? In 1979?


Metallica hat sich musikalisch vielerorts bedient. Unter anderem bei Pink Floyd.

Well, given that PF is played daily on RP, every day of your life must be ruined, and yet, you keep coming back.  Not  . . . too . . . bright.

Don't practice your alliteration on us.

I've noticed that people who try too hard to make clever critiques of music don't actually have anything of substance to say.  Your comment makes great supporting evidence for my observation.

As the years wear on I have become less of a fan of Roger Waters, mostly due to his personal and political ideas.  However, his past lyrics and songs have remained outstanding.

Listen to Fade to Black from 1984 and I think it shows the author meant the other way around perhaps...
Awesome guitar.

Why on earth would someone downvote this??? It's a part of the concert/film! must be the same one that downvoted the video for Young Lust?

Certainly possible.  What's the reference that I missed?

I can hear the Metallica influence running through this one ... Is this so highly rated, because it's the Floyd?

Thanks, Bill, for letting it flow into "Empty Spaces" and "Young Lust"! Truly, one of the most incredible, comprehensive, and accessible real-life relatable works of art ever set to JAMMING MUSIC, and to me, it still brings a chill, as it did when released in December of '79.

 
Under hypnosis, I might have memories of listening to this when it was new, although at just shy of my 3rd bday, that's iffy at best.

Still, what you say about 1) BillG playing the 3 "tracks" together and 2) how relatable it is is right on.  Long Live RP!!

Haven't heard this is a long time. very nice.

I love Pink Floyd, but, I will agree, the 'Cool Factor' is what shot them to God status. Who was it, Johnny Rotten I think, who said he wore a 'Pink Floyd Sucks' T-Shirt. LMAO! That's great. "OMG, you're so uncool. You're not one of us".

I don't think I have heard this since I was obsessed with Floyd in High School.  I am still obsessed with Floyd, but The Wall eventually lost it's intrigue.  It seems that time may have healed that wound.

Originality is not your strong suit.  Maybe you should try PSD for yourself.

Amazingly beautiful song but very sad, bordering depressive.

This song stands well by itself, but to truly appreciate it, it has to heard in the context of the entire album. The low-raters and PSDers should give it a try.

(and did this track really escape the RP playlist until a year ago?!!)
