Radio Paradise (mobile)

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
Now starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
No-one speaks and no-one tries
No-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

funkyalfonso Sep 04, 2012 - 21:38	Does anyone remember a surfer movie called "Crystal Voyager" that used this track with their innovative "in the wave" photography? The movie was played with Jimi's Maui movie "Rainbow Bridge." [ Reply ]

elitry Jul 03, 2012 - 23:56	So, I really like this song, but I despise when it's played. I'm on EST, working to finish a thesis - which means late hours in a research lab on my own. There is something totally, totally creepy about the humpback whalesque squeals during the ethereal instrumental. My plea is for you to avoid playing it from midnight to 3 AM PST for the next two weeks - those be the witching hours over here! lol Thanks for motivating late night research with all of the other great music! ${#Devil_pimp}$ (btw, i think it's brilliant that someone created a devil pimp icon) [ Reply ]

I never had a copy, sadly, but enjoyed it immensely when I visited friends houses to sit in the bedroom listening to LPs. This and Relics contained some of Floyd's most interesting and quirky music. The later stuff was pretty good, too, but 'harder' and cynical (with good reason). The early stuff was delightfully innocent, naive, dare I say 'fluffy'. Thanks for playing this track in full, though I can understand it pissing off some listeners, and can sympathise with them. As Joe Strummer said: F*ckin' long, innit? 8 from the laid-back Nottingham jury. [ Reply ]

I was so stoned I didn't realize it and was just ROCKIN' to this "new" Floyd album. When my wife got home she looked at the turntable and changed the speed to the correct setting. This song has just never been the same for me since. Well that also cuz I don't get high any more either, but still ........ Had to bump this...been there, done that! [ Reply ]
