this song to me, is a throwback to the classic pink floyd. if it had not been crosby and nash singing on this song it would have been the almost ethereal, otherworldly vocal coupling of gilmour and waters, which would have just made everyone's heads spin in wonder. as to the lyrical content, i just can't express the feeling i get when the chorus kicks in. in a word: beautiful. this song is a great work of art, mentally, physically, and most important, musically. it sends chills up and down my spine. there are only a handful of songs that can do that to me and most of them are pink floyd. let me toss you some examples: "time" "breathe" "breathe reprise" "comfortably numb" "echoes" and most importantly in my own mind "wish you were here". non pink floyd songs include "a.d.d." and "shimmy" by system of a down, "in my life" by the beatles, "m.e." by gary numan, etc. let me just say one more thing, because this is getting a little long winded now: this love that david gilmour has for his wife, who helped extensively with the lyrical compostion, i hope to feel that way about a woman some day, because like this song, a woman, her entire being, is also like a work of art, the highest in the land that you can attain. i do not mean that in a possessive, sexist way. what i mean to say is that females are all queens in their own right, and deserve to be treated as such, and it is a sad state of affairs when a beautiful creature such as the one i have mentioned isn't even wished a happy valentine's day or a happy birthday, or even a happy mother's day. as much as this thought pisses me off, i keep two things in mind: "blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see god" and "the meek shall inherit the earth." AM I CRAZY OR WHAT? skip to the loo!!!
