This is the song they play really loud for the prisoners in Guantanamo.

Which Pink Floyd song is it that I'm hearing here? Can't quite place it, due to a cerebral chemical imbalance.

I know what you're saying, and it's true that, considering the enormous size of the RP library, we hear quite some songs very very regularly, and others all too infrequently. But I notice that those songs do change, and sometimes I'll hear a song I haven't heard in a long time on RP, that used to be in frequent-repeat mode.
And more importantly, when I think of how much time it takes to put together the carefully chosen sets that Bill does, it makes sense that he would put some songs in more frequent rotation just to make the job easier. Or....??? I don't know how he does it. Just a guess.
Still, I can't really complain about the repeat thing, in comparison to how grateful I am to RP for turning me on to so much excellent music and filling my days with it. I'll happily hear repeats (esp. when I like the songs being repeated!!)

yeah, well it's sure got that.....

All this song needs is a maddeningly droning guitar part.

So, this is just a general question about RP, not about this song, which I like a lot.

I listen to RP pretty much all day every day, and sometimes I feel like I hear the same damn songs every day. Obviously RP is a big improvement over commercial radio, which I avoid like the plague. And there is very little I hear on RP that I don't enjoy. But sometimes I feel like Bill doesn't dig deep enough into his collection. There must be tens of thousands of tracks on the playlist - couldn't we hear a little more from the back library?

I do not find this song depressing at all. Sure, we are all going to pass away at some point in time, but there will be others taking over after us. I find it a very comforting and uplifting thought.

All we have to do is make the very best out of the time we are given, the greatest gift of all.

I agree with you! It seems like he has certain "transition songs" that let him move the tempo around and change moods, sometimes, I don't mind the repeats! But, I hear what you're saying!!
