Just dusted off Wish you were here, one of the best technically composed albums of all time, possibly. With possibly the greatest song they ever wrote, not to mention that it was recorded over 6 months, at the infamous Abbey Rd studios:
Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
For anyone wanting to listen to the floyd, I suggest getting the best amplifier and speakers you can. Simply because, well they deserve it.
