| Pink Floyd – Fat Old Sun Lyrics
| 3 months ago
|
I'm about 2 decades late to the ball on this one, but I recently dusted off my 50 year old album. As a guitarist, I always found David's solo on this to be underrated (especially the Pompeii and Gdansk versions). The fact he plays it a lot, clearly indicates that -- as one of his very first songs -- there is great meaning and feeling for him. Certainly not the kind of reminiscing one would experience thinking about smoking pot 55 years ago. I used to get high, too (then I grew up about 36 years ago when I turned 30). So many references of drugs from a lot of stoners on this thready. Look, I went to middle school, high school and college from 1970 to 1980 and did all kinds of drugs. You can be happy -- and even write songs -- without being stoned out of your flippin' mind.
As a 67 year old and one who has written songs myself reflecting on my youth, that is all this is. As a matter of fact, when DSOTM and Time came out a few years later, I thought about Fat Old Sun again because it has a similar feeling. But, if you need to find drug references in everything, good luck...but I hope you find some help before you get really stupid. |

Why don't we ask Paul? Oh, I see...he was already asked! Either he is being evasive, or he was sincere when he said he just made up the verses in the studio. Regardless, it is a nice tune and clearly about loss of a loved one and the hope of a future reconnection. |
