Pink Floyd - Pertinent advice
Every day we get up from our beds and start a new day.... not mindful of the time that is passing.. .. listen at huge volume and understand the wisdom in the lyrics
Pink Floyd - Time
Dark Side of the Moon must be one of the greatest albums ever released and possibly the most enduring. From that excellent website Wikipedia...
The Dark Side of the Moon was a commercial and critical success. It topped the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for a week and remained in the chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most successful album and one of the best-selling worldwide.
On the Billboard 100 Charts for SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE WEEKS !!!
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Nuff Said !!!
When you listen to this album on vinyl, on a good quality stereo, or even better in surround sound, you can see why it was a consistent favourite with an entire generation of stoners. A few years ago, when we still had five speakers hooked up to our stereo, we were having a listen and watching Christo's ears swiveling in all directions as each new sound came out.
But even listening through the computer, through a set of headphones, it's still superb music.
Amen to that @kiwideb
nice
Thank you
I love Pink Floyd. Like Sinatra said, go fly me to the moon.
nice
When this album was released and for years afterwards I did not appreciate them... thought they were just a bunch of noise. Looking back I understand that I was an ignorant, opinionated youngster {grin}... who knew nothing about good music.
Thanks for the response.
Old guy here listening for 1st time. Great music and lyrics story of my life.
Thanks for stopping by. I reckon a lot of us can put ourselves in that bracket. We never hear the starting gun.
Great post. Nothing is better than Pink Floyd on Monday morning :)
Thank you. I popped over to your blog to share some upvotes... and I see you have been idle for a while. Is there a reason for this? You not giving up already are you?
Haha sorry for the really late reply, badly I don't have so much time for steemit, so that's the main reason.
I have actually also 'semi-retired' from Steemit and am currently powering down.
