Ich hörte das Lied von Pink Floyd zum ersten Mal auf der Rückfahrt von Lidice, dessen Einwohner im Juni 1942 von deutschen Polizisten liquidiert oder verschleppt und später ermordet worden waren. Seitdem unvergessen und immer verknüpft mit den Überresten dieses Ortes im milden Licht eines schönen Herbsttages im September 1979.
David Gilmour wird heute 70. Das Lied, mit dem er berühmt wurde, ist 40 Jahre alt. Der Text ist nicht von ihm, aber er hat’s gesungen und die Gitarre gespielt.
Glückwunsch, David Gilmour!
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Ich hatte in den Siebzigern das Glück, The darkside of the moon in der MHO (Militär-HO) zu ergattern. Damals Vinyl, trotzdem gigantisch. Immer wieder gern gehört. Have a cigar!
Danke, Achtermann, für die kollegiale Hilfe. Ich konnte es einfach nicht.
Der Text -me thinks- stammt wohl von Roger Waters und ist assoziativ offen;
wenngleich gängige Interpretationen es als Hommage an Syd Barrett verstehen, "Shine on you crazy diamond" dahingehend noch deutlicher wurde;
letzteres Stück auch mein Favorit in dem Zusammenhang.
Danke für die Erinnerung!******

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (HQ)

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
Lifted from "Pink Floyd The Wall" film, this video is actually comprised of two songs: "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" and "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" This video became the official video of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" after the release of the film in 1982.
This single is by far Pink Floyd's greatest ever mainstream success, instantly attaining classic status, and is perhaps their most famous piece of work.
ABINTW Pt. 2 even became the protest song of a group of South African students during the apartheid regime, the song was subsequently banned in South Africa.
The song itself is a protest against the rigidity of British schools, and in particular, the boarding school system Waters would have been part of as a young boy.
The poem read out by the schoolteacher is a direct reference to "Money"
The schoolteacher in this video was portrayed by the late, great, Scottish actor Alex McAvoy who passed away in June 2005.
If you haven't seen "The Wall" I would Highly recommend you to do so.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (with lyrics)
Hochgeladen am 24.12.2010
THE LYRICS ARE HERE, PEOPLE, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK!
Guys, I know this isn't the original album cover, but I think it's an amazing picture, and I believe it represents Pink Floyd's legacy and success throughout these years.
This song was posted as a tribute to Syd Barrett.
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
