Believe it or not, Pink Floyd did not invent that sort of vocal phrasing.  To me, it's more reminiscent of T. Rex than it is of Pink Floyd - especially in the melody.  Singers have probably phrased like that since the 1940s.

Possibly because its one of their tunes with an outside singer.

Yes and no.  No, because I suspect the 'influences' pre-date both bands.

 

But that's a nice compliment.  And yes, Air is worthy. :-)

Oh yeah... and that continues throughout the rest of this album. I also hear it on 'How does it make you feel?' and 'Radian' from their album '10,000 Hz Legend'.

I've heard a couple of other cuts off of this album, and though I like this, my favorite is the utterly haunting 'Empty House.' That's just about the saddest, most beautiful instrumental tunes ever.

If you like this song, go see "Virgin Suicides", Sophia Coppola's first movie if you haven't. Dreamy, beautiful and slightly disturbing, just like this song.

I was searching through the quotes on this song looking for a similar voice of Elliot Smith. I thought this was a "lost Elliot" track that I some how missed. Only Elliot is missing.

One of many examples of songs/artists I may have never heard had they not been on commercials. Didn't realize it was on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack as well...I'll have to check that movie out!

Hmmm... sounds vaguely salacious and criminal in intent (underage love, anyone?), but maybe it's just the French accent....

This film was a surprise knockout. The 70's songs they used , in those scenes , were phenomenally well-placed. A lot of work had to go into that . Don't honestly remember any non-70's tunes... well done nonetheless.
