Yeah, missing lines: I'm gonna soak up the sun While it's still free I'm gonna soak up the sun Before it goes out on me Don't have no master suite I'm still the king of me You have a fancy ride, but baby I'm the one who has the key Every time I turn around |

lilshellsbrow, I donot know if you answered to my posting... If yes, I said, "she rhymes, but she mimes" |

Sax is good, buddy! :-) There is a guitar solo which follows anyway, same tune almost, and followed by background vocals for the very same tune! Hail Roger! |

Also talks about holding on to comfort and not getting into the unknown. "Hanging on in quiet desperation"... Dont we all do that? Just sit and sulk? :-( Waters is 'absolutely true' in lyrics, "Sun is the same, in a relative way"! heh heh! Do not forget that even Sun is getting older! |

That is an amazingly good view KFurber, coz the song is written visualising Syd to be playing. That is why in the beginning of the song, it is played on a radio, some one tunes in, and starts playing to the radio. The band pictured Syd to be listening to their song on radio and jamming his guitar to match it... Nice view KFurber! |

| Snocore, that also kinda fits in, but piper made more sense as a smoker to me, for the other words in the sentence -- raver, dreamer, prisoner, painter (Syd in fact rated himself to be a better painter than musician) depict Syd's personality. | |

Just assembling a few words/lines solely to impose rhyming does not constitute a song. Look at the first paragraph, "Baby I would climb the Andes solely To count the freckles on your body Never could imagine there were only ten Million ways to love somebody" The two adjacent lines do not mix, except for the versing. "Climb the mountain of Andes to count the freckles on your body!?" Gosh! What is the idea girl? How can random lines juxtaposed just for the sake of rhyming constitute a song? And how can such a piece of prose/whatever be termed poetry?!? There are a few attempts in the song to get internal rhymes and slant rhymes along with the obvious terminal rhymes. I would/never could; on-ly mum-ble / smal-l and hum-ble, etc., etc., Appreciated sweetie, but they got to have a flow and some meaning. Either you write deep/profound or clear/obvious, but never vague. Maybe she wrote down her random thoughts in Spanish, and transliterated it in English. God save us all from the future full of mindless Shakiras... |

I agree, Gimour's guitar weeps in the solo... Been to Roger Waters show, show was great and all, but this song didnt come out as well as in the album. Wonder if Jeff Beck would made a difference. |

After a little more research, I will have to agree with brn2, the three lines do actually depict EMI. Legend has it that somebody did in fact ask Waters, "Which one is Pink?" Apologies to Brn2. :-) |

Whole song is on Syd. "Remember when you were young, ...You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze." Hit the stardom too early, couldn't enudure the dose of success. "You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon." Secret = Saucerful of Secrets; Moon = DSOM "Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light." Drugs at night, could not perform under spotlight (on stage) "Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!" most of it straight, painter = artist; piper = drug addict (smoker); However, what does "steel breeze" depict? stardom? music industry? difficulties? none fit in properly in all the three references "blown on the steel breeze" first, "rode on it" next, and "sail on it" at the end? |

The beauty of PF songs is that you can gain so many meanings from it. The song is definitely about war... You can apply it to bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, especially the lines "The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on" talking about the ill effects of the fallout... |

Agree with Soma, the song ends with a feeling of "whatever you do, you are getting closer to death" Each song of the album tries to analyse and depict different aspects of life. |

However, there are references to the mean record company, "We're just knocked out, we heard about the sell out. You gotta get an album out, you owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count." EMI insisting that they should "ride the gravy train" (capitalise on the situation at hand as long as one can) and get another album out. Pink Floyd did give them another great album, and Waters included this a surpise 'gift' for EMI! Only Waters can write things with so much of depth and subtlety! |

I beg to differ brn2, that line has to be understood in conjuction with the earlier three lines. The line represents the inner struggle in the band in a subtle way. He even says, "... it (the success/albums/band) can be made into a monster, if we all put together as a team" |

| Pink Floyd – Learning to Fly Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
I heard another version which states that it was Nick Mason who got the pilot license. The conversation in the song (after about two minutes into the song) really happened between Nick Mason, Gilmour (co-pilot) and tower on Mason's first flight. "Friction lock - set. Mixture - rich Propellors - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine guages and suction - check Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (grabled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure (tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4. It's to go. (tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots. (to tower): 3-8-Echo Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time. Just hand the power gradually, and it..." |

A realistic view about love and sex. The best part is when the song changes mood with the shreak, "Run to the bedroom..." Following song Dont Leave Me Now takes this song to a higher plane :-) |

Pardon me Shannon, but 'Syd' Barrett (Roger Keith Barrett) DID NOT DIE a few years after he left the band. He is still alive, living in sub urban Cambridge. And the wish that he was there with PF when they made it to stardom (with DSOM). Listen it in conjunction with Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Agreed that the songs mean much more than what one can imagine, just because of the fact that there is a personal bias one has towards the song. |
