Mudmen Lyrics
I love this song. Listening to the whole Obscured By Clouds album is a trip and a half. I've listened to Floyd so much that it's like they're my friend or brother, a big part of me.
mudmen is an instrumental on obc........its kinda cool........features some great guitar work by mr gilmour.......but that can be said about a great many floyd songs.......the song is kinda light and breezy in parts........reminds me of a pillow of winds i had to make this comment because i feel that every song by the floyd deserves comments.....yes even seamus!
This is a great song. almost a reprise to "burning bridges". And there is NOTHING WRONG WITH SEAMUS. I enjoy it alot, actually.
Seamus is amazing. It holds a special section of my heart. And this is a reprise of Burning Bridges, but not nearly as good. I would call it good. Not great, but definitely solid.
With the few pictures of the movie La Vallee I've seen, one was of some aborigins coverd with mud, so I guess (this is pure speculation, since I haven't seen the movie) that's what the song is about... or, I'd rather say, I wouldn't be surprise if this piece of music was used for a (the?) seen where they covered themselves with mud. And oh! Yes, Gilmour is great on this one but, listen carefuly for the organs... this is where the magical greatness of the music come from here, especialy in the great guitar gig.
I quite like this song. But since it was for a film, doesn't mean it isn't good. I really like the dreamy guitar solos in it with great piano playing.
