Song of the week Sept 29


Goodbye Blue Sky- Pink Floyed
Obviously you need to listen to the wall album as a whole, but this is my favourite track of the album by far. Its very beautiful and haunting. Opens with the voice of a little British boy talking. Creepy stuff. Then it gets very odd. It gets even creepier if you watch the scene from the film version.
did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
That line in itself is pure poetry, but the way they work it in with the music is just brilliant.

    good post though. In personally suck at explaining why I like songs so much, so it's good to hear/read someone who can.
