Obscured by Clouds is a vastly underrated album by Pink Floyd, coming as it did between their best album (Meddle) and their most famous (Dark Side of the Moon).
While OBC can't stand up to either album it is next to, it is still very good, probably fitting in at eigth in the PF catalogue, right behind either The Wall or The Final Cut (both of which I immensely enjoy, if that says anything).
This is an excellent song, one of the best on the album. Could it be about dropping the bomb on Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
I know that people near the explosion vaporized, and you could see where they were standing because they left shadows imprinted on bridges.

Just a thought.
