And yet it still strikes a pleasant, melancholic note in my heart. Only a few people can do that. This album is cloudy cool empty college days in Baton Rouge, with the potential of the world in front of me, but nothing and no one around me to comfort me. Play on.

The nostalgia of this song is what does it for me. Love the solo! True Gilmour at his best.

He sounds like Elton John on this one. Only the backup vocals give it away, since they're always the same.

David Gilmour's guitar work always sounds so beautiful to me. Very classy fellow that David.

Strange that I love solo Gilmour but detest late sans-Waters Floyd. Must be the production. This sounds so crisp and full, while the late Floyd stuff is so overblown and plodding, with that snare reverb that lasts a half hour. This stuff just soars.
 
My theory is that when he goes solo he's just being himself, which is great, but when he's doing the post Waters PF thing they're trying too hard to make it Floyd-esq.  They mimic the form, but lack the substance.  As far as I'm concerned PF was Gilmore and Waters and a great support cast; A whole that was greater then the sum of the parts.  Without Waters it's a group of talented guys, but simply the sum of the parts.  (Although they did put on a kickin' show.)

Plays just as well now as it did 30 years ago. I wonder how much of today's music will be able to listen to 30 yrs from now.

Boring and repetitive. I much prefer the old Floyd from the '70s.

YES, definitely! I just heard that as well. Strange.
 
It amazes me how some of you can hear stuff like that.  I wish I could just listen to, compose, perform, and record music all day!
