This week David Gilmour is my God


Since it seems to be de rigueur to have a track of the day, which btw I think is wonderful, I thought I'd waffle on about my album of the week. And definitely in my list of all time favourites.

 

I'm obsessed with Pink Floyd. Always have been I guess, though this week I'm hugely into 'The Division Bell'

Two songs in particular both fit the me of now, and the lifestate I'm in.

 

'What do you want from me?' is the first, especially the lines:

Do you want my blood, do you want my tears

What do you want

What do you want from me?

 

The other is 'High Hopes', also sometimes known as 'The grass is greener' All the damn lyrics fit ... so here they are:

 

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

In a world of magnets and miracles

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

 

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway

Do they still meet there by the Cut?

 

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

 

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

With friends surrounded

The nights of wonder

 

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

Dragged by the force of some inner tide

 

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

 

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Though down this road we've been so many times

 

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist glowing

The water flowing

The endless river

 

Forever and ever

 

Dave Gilmour is one of those rare human beings who can talk with his guitar. And his voice ... High or otherwise his music makes my soul sing and weep in equal measure.
