What are you listening to now? V5 (Part 1)

Well, how about that. I never even knew there was a hidden message in this song!!! Another reason to love Pink Floyd.

“Empty Spaces”

[backwards message:]
Hello, Luka [hunters]… Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont…
Roger! Carolyne’s on the phone!
Okay

[lyrics:]
What shall we use
To fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How should I complete the wall

“Young Lust”

I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who’s gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh babe set me free

Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

[Spoken:]
Hello?
Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd will you accept the charges from United States?
Oh, he hung up!
That’s your residence, right?
I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?
Hello?
This is United States calling, are we reaching-
See he keeps hanging up, and it’s a man answering

It has been so long since I last listened to them. My dad has some of their albums and he played them all the time when I was in elementary. Tidal Wave is my favorite of their songs

I haven’t listened to all of Rick’s video, but Phil was also getting into jazz fusion and around that time, generally speaking, there were a lot of latin/jazz influences in music. You can hear this in Volcano.

Here’s his Brand X band, which debuted at the same time as Trick

And something a little less esoteric but nonetheless cool: if I remember correctly, this song is named after Townshend inputted the vital signs of one of his favorite philosophers into a synthesizer and we have that synth arpeggio that permeates the background

Lyrics

“The Remembering: High The Memory”

As the silence of seasons on we relive abridge sails afloat
As to call light the soul shall sing of the velvet sailors course on
Of the velvet sailors course on
Shine or moons send me memories trail over days of forgotten tales
Course the compass to offer into a time that we’ve all seen on
Into a time that we’ve all seen on

High the memory carry on
While the moments start to linger
Sail away among your dreams
The strength regains us in between our time
The strength regains us in between our time
As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river’s son
So the ends meet the river’s son

Ours, the story shall we carry on
And search the forest of the sun
We dream as we dream, dream as one
And I do think very well
That the son might take you silently
They move fast
They tell me
There’s someone rainbow
Alternate tune

In the days of summers so long
We danced as evenings sang their song
We wander out the days so long
And I do feel very well
That the evenings take you
Silently. They move round
Sunlight, seeing ground
Whispers of clay
Alternate ways

Softer messages bringing light to a truth long forgotten on
As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river’s son
So the ends meet the river’s son

I reach over and the fruit of life stand still
Stand awhile we search our past we start anew
The music sings of love you knew We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Sands of companions sides that be
The strength of the meeting lies with you
Wait all the more regard your past
School gates remind us of our class
Chase all confusion away with us

Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you

Don the cap and close your eyes imagine all the glorious challenge
Iron metal cast to others
Distant drums

Force the bit between the mouth of freedom didn’t we learn to fly
Remember to sail the skies
Distant suns
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

Relayer
All the dying cried before you
Relayer
We’ve rejoiced in all their meaning
Relayer
We advance we retrace our stories

Like a dreamer all our lives are only lost begotten changes
We relive in seagull’s pages
Outwards ways

Things are all in colors and the size of others shall send you
Forward
Arrange to sail you toward
A peace of mind
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

Relayer
All the passion spent on one cross
Relayer
Sail the futile wars they suffer
Relayer
We advance we retrace our story, fail safe now

Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
Press over moments leaving you
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you
Out tender outward lights of you
Shine over mountains make the view
The strength of you seeing lies with you

Ours, entrance we surely carry on
And change the passing of the sun
We don’t even need to try we are one

And I do think very well
As the truth unfolds you
Silently
They move time
Rainbows
Sunlight
Alternate tune
Alternate tune

Rainbows
Soft light
Alternate view
Sunlight
Tell me
Someone
Alternate view
Alternate view, surely, surely

Jon Anderson’s voice is so perfect for Yes. I was listening to some Rick Wakeman (Journey to the Center of the Earth) last night and I missed his vox.

No question about it, Tales from Topographic Oceans is my favorite Yes album. Wonderful musical changes. Quite a journey.

My niece was over last weekend and I showed her The Neverending Story. On my 65" tv she was sitting there amazed. I saw this at the cinema and was blown away and it was so awesome to see her enthralled by this movie. They don’t make movies like this anymore.

There are some good ones that hit that fantasy, good story-telling vein from Miyazaki (and man it’s 20 years old now!). But I do miss the high-fantasy genre from ~40 years ago.

Look at the street in the background while they are playing this. All the cars driving by stop to see what the hell these “crazy people” are doing.
