ze______.

Em strikes:

1st: E to e
2nd: e to E (Slowly, to touch each string)


The rest:

Yellow bird, you are not 'lone in singing and in flying on,
in laughing and in leaving.

Willow weeping in the water, waving to the river daughters,
swaying in the ripples and the reeds.

On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun
a thousand miles of moonlight later.

Well, after the guitar fades and gives her place to an organ...

This really sounds a lot like a desription of Granchester Meadows. With the psychidelic twist, I LOVE the effects they do.

I'm with you clegg. This has to be my favorite. One's left with the incredibly deep mystery of, "wtf is a crater doing in the sun? Is that supposed to be there??"

This song is way better than Learning to Fly, but it has 50 fewer comments. Something seems wrong here, doesn't it?

More, like OBC is an underrated album, but for reasons. Take this song, for example. It is very good, but it could be made slightly better by doing this: -Shorten the chirping of birds at the beginning to 30 seconds rather than one minute -Shorten the end about thirty seconds to a minute as well. There you've got a five star song, or so. I understand that PF had some constraints in writing this song, lengthwise.

I love the way his voice reverbs when he sings "saw a crater in the sun, a thousand miles of moonlight later." And I love the British way that he pronounces "saw" as "sawr"

Awesome song! Definatly one of Pink Floyd's best. There is a certain melancholy throughout the song, almost as if PF is saying that "all the good things that make us happy in the end, come to end. Whether it's the flowing river, or the chirping bird. Everything ends" I think the lines "saw a crater in the sun" means that every great big love (like the sun) has a dark side (crater), and that whenever we meet a girl we trully love, there is still something about her that will unsatisfy us. Just my opinion.

Cirrus Minor is the north pole star. It is part of a constellation in the shape of a bear. And yeah, the organ solo is pretty amazing. One of my favorites off of More.
