A cloud of eiderdown draws around me
Softening the sound
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side
And she's breathing low, and the candle dies
When night comes down you lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls and waves roll by
The seasons change, the wind is warm
Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream, the dream is gone
Green fields, a cold rain
Is falling in a golden dawn
And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds
And I go down
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And I rise like a bird
In the haze when the first rays touch the sky
And the night winds die

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Dec 11, 2010 - 11:19 Glad to see some other folks liked Meddle and thought it was one of their best.
FWIW, Wish You Were Here is good but Animals is excellent.
I would argue that Porcupine Tree has taken this genre to new heights..... But it is all terrific contemporary music. |

I felt that way about the album with the prism, even after many listens of most all the previous albums—always stoned off my gourd, of course. I thought then, and now, that the prism album was truly ground-breaking. "Wish You Were Here" was a huge disappointment (to me), and I stopped following Pink Floyd—but still enjoy the old stuff from time to time. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: May 02, 2010 - 17:59 I must just be getting old - Pink Floyd (are people who love this band called Floydoids?) makes me smile and sigh in contentment these days. |

| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Feb 28, 2010 - 12:00 This is a great song, and on the album, it is the song before one of my all-time favorite songs— Fearless... so I am conditioned by this song to salivate in anticipation like Pavlov's dog... |

Flick sez: I don't get people who don't like Pink Floyd. It's like saying you don't like cupcakes. They're harmless, relaxing, and enjoyable. |

I finally edited that track a couple of years ago so I could actually listen to it. The asylum banshee screams were too much then and now. When the track appeared on the Echoes CD compilation, it was as if the producer and I had had a little discussion prior to its release. Yeah, and it sure is nice not to have to flip over the LP anymore, to be sure. Better yet is the advent of MP3 players stuffed with ~40GB of tracks, all of which you already know you enjoy, cuz YOU picked 'em!

| kalleOS | Posted: Jul 16, 2009 - 13:45 > classics remain relevant. that's my definition of a classic. and so is this! I agree. Very good definition. Greetings, Karl |
| kalleOS | Posted: Jul 16, 2009 - 13:36 Please once more Pink Floyd. How abouat "Wish You Were Here"? If you don't like, please play the group "Sweet". Like this DJ, playing songs like a boy! Guess, the DJ is about 60 years old. Maybe he never grows old. Forgive my englisch! Greetings, Karl |

And then you go and eat toast with strawberry jam and black pepper on it. Several times. Praise be the LP and dubious smokables... BBQ potato chips dipped in melted chocolate icecream.....   |
