Love this song. Sidenote: This is the only song off WCD that could have ended up on CAS too, imho that is.

So what exactly was John Silver's song writing input in In Limbo?

Huh, weird. I haven't listened to that song for a while, I had a clear memory though of last time I listened to it I couldn't make out any of the lyrics, googled for them, found nothing ("no lyrics have been contributed to this song yet") and ended up on wikipedia reading about Gilmour mumbling through the lyrics in order to make them incomprehensible. Either way I must have dreamed all this or I am massively confusing things.

In 'The Narrow Way part 3' David Gilmour sings something which is clearly lyrics, yet muttered so it's impossible to understand what he sings. Wikipedia claims he was embarrassed of his lyrics so he muttered them.

Pink Floyd - The Narrow Way

Admittedly it does have lyrics, illegible ones however.

Sure it was never played live? It must have been part of their early set lists.

Anyone into darts? I've been visiting extended family the last 2 weeks and my nephews and niece were all going crazy about the darts world cup. I never saw them getting excited like this. Nephews used to care only for football and the niece was never interested in sports in the first place, now I found them cheering for the hell of it when they were watching that darts world cup on TV, and they spent my entire visit playing darts.

Happy New Year everybody! And the date is 1.1.2023. Or 6.1. for today.

Rainy and WARM! Feels like Spring is just around the corner.

Always like it. Nice swingy rhythm, cool chord change around that one note.

Local news said 250 people were injured in my city on this Wednesday morning and they had to open a mobile treatment center since hospitals were beyond their limits. Craziest thing I have ever seen. The official warnings were not exaggerated at all but who are employers to tell their workers to stay home?

After having snow and ice in this region which usually has zero snow we now got ice rain. First time in my life I ever saw this: rain that instantly freezes everything into a layer of ice. Getting to work was an adventure, to put it nicely.

I only saw the summary of that match but I wouldn't want to be that guy who messed up that last penalty.

I've been reading or hearing this quite a number of times in various interviews, I can't recall every single one. I have a clear memory though of an old interview with Metallica in the 90's in which one of them said something liek "it's harder to write a 3-minute pop song than a lengthy epic". It's something that comes up often times, apparently addressing a (perceived?) perception of non-musicians who think it must be harder to write long songs.

Are you the descendant of this carriage's driver?

Will the book be translated into Swiss German? I'd be intrigued to make a purchase.

Quote from Backdrifter

I like Rutherford's comment in relation to how they supposedly "sold out" or lost their integrity etc, when he said it's much more exacting writing a catchy 4-minute pop song compared to a multi-sectioned 10-minute prog epic.

Lots of artists have left similar statements addressing the common "you sold out" comments. Let me add my take on this: it's easier to write a noodly pretentious overly-extended nowhere-going prog longtrack than a good pop song such as That's All, and it's easier to write a bland samey formulaic throwaway charts hit pop song than a prog masterpiece such as Moonlit Knight.

I never saw TMB live ever, gotta see this

Germans be like: World Cup? What World Cup?

15. My top fave right after Firth of Fifth. Brilliant, stunning, ingenious.
