| This song is a lot like Echoes (and therefore, SoYcD). Unlike the other two, where they are SoYcD is a reincarnation of Echoes (read my Echoes post on either page 5 or page 6), this song is more a jumble of many (but not all) of the parts of Echoes (and, therefore, SoYcD). It is rather unstructured (as compared to the other two), and not very refined (whereas Echoes is mildly refined and SoYcD is ultra-refined). However, I can still hear parts of this song in Echoes (not as much in SoYcD). It seems to me that the song evolved over time, getting better with each reincarnation (though I prefer Echoes to SoYcD, it is little question that SoYcD is, at least technically, better than Echoes). | |

| ..no.. its all about mushrooms.. magic shrooms first of all, the whole ATOM HEART MOTHER ALBUM is.. the cow in the front: its the animal that poops the shit, from where the shrooms grow.. and the song is about the shroom trip... the funky dung, is the funky poop from where one takes the shroom.. mind your throats, please, cuz it tastes real weird.. remergence, when you come back to reality... its an explosion, yeah.. cuz a shroom looks like an ATOMIC BOMB.. doesnt it? and if you look at it from the top, its got the shape of a heart... so the cow is the ATOM HEART MOTHER.. | |

| The distorted voice also says "here is a loud announcement" followed by a bomb going off, or something like that, a little earlier in the song. Maybe 15:30 in or so. | |
