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.
