Pink Floyd - My Favorite Floyd Songs

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

YAY Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands ever!!!

I won't copy and paste a bunch of song lyrics, Instead I'll just list my favorite songs.

speak to me, breath, time, money, brain damage, eclipse, Another Brick in the wall, Comfortably Numb, Dogs, Pigs, Sheep, and everything else I've heard by Pink Floyd.

[FatFreeMilk]

Pink Floyd is boring as hell. I listened to the division Bell in its entirety and didn't see what the big fuss is about. Not trying to offend anybody, I just don't get it:confused:
Wait, but I do like another brick in the wall :)

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

You should listen to Dark Side of the Moon, or The Wall, or Animals, or A Momentary Lapse of Reason all are very good albums.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Fuckin hell. PF is just appreciated by a very small group of people.

You have to let Pink Floyd overcome, I can't describe it. I listen to Pink Floyd entirely different then I do to letsay Dire Straits or AC/DC or something.

Some of my favorites High Hopes <-- you gotta love it! Atomheart mother Another brick in the wall <-- classic Shine on you crazy diamond

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Pink Floys is an aquired taste, you don't just on a PC CD and say, "THIS IS GENIUS!!" It takes time and appreciation

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Comfortably Numb

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

[Hegemonicretribution]

I love comfortably numb. Gilmour I rate in the same leaugue as May, and they have the two finest tones I have ever heard, and believe me I am tone fiend, a few grands worth of gear and I still don't sound the same (then again I can't play as well).

Water's era is perhaps more popular, but I think that quite a lot of it is nice.

Some of dsotm is a little hard for first timers, as is some of their other albums. Then again a lot of people were stoned or on acid whilst listening to them. Stoned to pink floyd is a nice experience if you arethat way inclined, ad you will probably appreciate more for the first few listens.

I know. I can get so pissed of when someone listens to PF for 15 seconds and says that it sux. :(

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Dogs

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a seat in the stand
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.

Yer I played money in a mini bus of 16/17 year olds a year or so ago and got little positive response. Personally I prefer time, but it is still a great tune.

Then when the main bit kicks in one thought he had heard it on an ad or something and settled in more.

People seem to like what they know, if it isn't strange then they can feel above the music. Not fully appreciating it by giving in.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Money

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away.


"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right.
That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2.
He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely,
After I was yelling and screaming and
Telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

[Invader Zim]

Time is a great song, I just love the guitar music at the end...

To all the other PF fans whisky and PF are a great combernation.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

acid and PF is also a great combination :D

[Ian]

Wish you were here, Money and When the Tigers broke Free are my favourites.

[Valkyrie]

Pink Floyd are pioneers and music revolutionaries. It&#39;s been said that Jimmy Page is the Stravinsky of the guitar and his guitars are Stradivarious&#39; in his hands, and in the same respect one could say Pink Floyd is the London Symphony Orchestra of Rock&#39;n Roll.


Shine on you Crazy Diamond is mine.

Viva Pink Floyd&#33;

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Got a new PF album a few days ago. This is one the better songs on the album, it certainly has the most beautiful lyrics

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won&#39;t understand
"Don&#39;t accept that what&#39;s happening
Is just a case of others&#39; suffering
Or you&#39;ll find that you&#39;re joining in
The turning away"

It&#39;s a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it&#39;s shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we&#39;re all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It&#39;s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there&#39;ll be
No more turning away?
Yet Another Movie
One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?

A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed

The use of force, he was so tough
She&#39;ll soon submit, she&#39;s had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still

He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He&#39;s just the same as all the rest
He&#39;s not the worst, he&#39;s not the best

And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look

A man in black on a snow white horse,
A pointless life has run its course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun

[LiZ]

I just love Floyd. can´t say more..

Lyrics, guitars, everything.. so incredible..

The best songs..
*ONE OF THE FEW (i love it. i love it. i just fuckin´love it, so simple and deep)
*wish you were here (classic)
*SHINE ON YOUR CRAZY DIAMOND
*high hopes
:D :D :D
www.pinkfloyd.co.uk

[LiZ]

one of the few

when you´re one of the few to land on your feet
what do you do to make ends meet?
teach
make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two
make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to
make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die

[Funky Monk]

I really think they are over-rated

[praxis1966]

I personally think that "Mother" was their finest work. It&#39;s beauty lies in it&#39;s simplicity. So utterly and hopelessly poignant.

I had to look up "PWNED" to understand what you meant&#33; man, am I behind the times?

I wouldn&#39;t say so, it&#39;s just nerdspeak. Bruce Lee looks cool in stero.

Yeah, it is Nerd talk, here&#39;s where the word came from according to Urban dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwned):

"A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

[highway star]

i like money and breathe from dark side of the moon
first cassette of The Wall

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

dude, the second cassette (I have CDs) is much better, with comfortably numb. eh?
money and breath are excellent too.
and welcome to che-lives, I see you&#39;ve been here for about a month, but i haven&#39;t seen you untill now.

[highway star]

hi comrade victorcommie.yeah i am here for a month.but i cant enter internet everyday.because i am in organization.i am in HQ(i cant find another word) of TKP.so i must work a lot.when i got free time i enter to che -lives.and victorcommie?like turkish music?turku?i can offer some turkish sinfer(they r leftist 2):

Oh I love Stravinsky, any one else? I don&#39;t want to starrt another thread because he wasn&#39;t exactly mainstream? Jimmy Page, good writer, but I know better players. Not a patch on Gilmour;).

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I think this thread also deserves to be brought back.
Lately I&#39;ve absolutely fallen in love with the album "Wish You Were Here"
Shine on You Crazy Diamon is possibly one of the most beautiful songs I&#39;ve ver heard.
Wish you were Here is very simply, yet also very beautiful.
And Welcome to the Machine is also a great tune.
Have a Cigar is also good. A very inovative song for them that I think it kind of foreshadows the stuff in Animals, their next abum, which is also a materpiece.

[celtopunk]

The "Nile Song".

Reason, because I&#39;ve come across many "Floyd fans" who when I play it for them (while not tellingthem who it is), they tell me it sucks and whoever the band performing it sucks too. It is on the soundtrack to the 1969 film "More".

I own this too&#33;

[atlanticche]

Sheep is a great song
and the song i cant remember but i remember part of the lyrics
"i have a mouse, it lives in a house, and dont know why i call him gerald

or something like that if you know what im talking about

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

All the songs from Animals are great.
Sheep is a good one.
I have an Aniamls poster, it&#39;s really cool. :)

I&#39;m not sure what song that is, it&#39;s probably from one of the less listened-to albums.

[Invader Zim]

Welcome to the Machine... Blatantly.

[Chewillneverdie]

Nobody Home, Hey You, Goodbye Blue Skies, Wish you were here, Several furry animals gathered in a cave and grooving with a pict lol oh and, In the Flesh "so ya thought ya might like to go to the show, to feel the warmth we love, confusion, that space cadet glow"

[che's long lost daughter]

I like "Another Brick on The wall" and the video is really great, it&#39;s kinda freaky though

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

the video? :huh:
You mean the scene from the movie?

[RAGING BULL]

"I know a mouse and he hasn&#39;t got a house
I don&#39;t know why I call him Gerald
He&#39;s getting rather old but he&#39;s a good mouse"

It&#39;s lyrics from the song Bike, and Bike is from the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

I hope it&#39;s not one of the less listened-to albums.

That would be a shame...

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Well, i don&#39;t own the album.
I do believe I have heard the album at a friends house, but don&#39;t remember that song in particular.

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Money.

Gotta love the Pink Floyd.

[Zombie]

Pink Floyd is boring as hell.

It isn&#39;t.
Another brick in the wall is probably my least favorite, because i heard it so many times, it disgusts me...
If you think Pink Floyd is boring, i wonder what you have to say about Radiohead, hmm?

My fav songs must be probably, high hopes, the postward dream, comfortably numb, wish you were here and paranoid eyes, although i do own most of their albums, and listen to them all the time... specially when baked.

[Zombie]

Sheep, followed by Sorrow, and now Shine on you crazy diamonds...

all i&#39;ve got to say is : OH GODDAMN&#33;

[atlanticche]

the song i was talking about was bike

[RAGING BULL]

I guess you didn&#39;t read my post, oh well.

Life goes on

[nezvanova]

I like some of pink floyds stuff, can&#39;t listen to all of it... But the songs of their&#39;s that I listen to, I love. My favourites are "money" (once at a band concert, there was a breif pause between songs, so i cranked my amp and started playing the bass line from money. I just about got kicke dout for that one :D ) "wish you were here" and "time" Oh, and "the wall" was a firggen scary scary movie&#33; I loved it

[Zombie]

"bike" is actually the only song i can&#39;t bother to listen to by pink floyd... i dunno, i just don&#39;t like the sound of it

[Jesus Sanchez]

I dont know why, but one of my favourite track is "Vera" from The Wall (Disc 2 I think).

[Roses in the Hospital]

Gilmour&#39;s feedback drenched strat at the beggining of Sorrow is tonal nirvana for me...

[Sabocat]

It&#39;s hard to pick a favorite Floyd song, or album but if I had to, I would say the album "The Final Cut" and probably the song, "The Fletcher Memorial Home"

Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home a little place of their own
The fletcher memorial
Home for incurable tyrants and kings

And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they&#39;re still real
It&#39;s the only connection they feel
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Reagan and Haig
Mr. Begin and friend
Mrs. Thatcher and paisley
Mr. Brezhnev and party
The ghost of Mccarthy
The memories of Nixon
And now adding colour a group of anonymous
Latin-american meat packing glitterati"

Did they expect us to treat them with any respect
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles
And amuse themselves playing games for a while
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you&#39;re dead

Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favourite toys
They&#39;ll be good girls and boys
In the fletcher memorial home for colonial
Wasters of life and limb

Is everyone in ?
Are you having a nice time ?
Now the final solution can be applied

Or possibly this one...

Paranoid Eyes

Button your lip and don&#39;t let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide hide hide
Behind paranoid eyes

You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide hide hide
Behind petrified eyes

You believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory
Now you&#39;re lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle-age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
And you hide hide hide
Behind brown and mild eyes

I just like the whole vibe of this album. Definitely anti imperialist, anti-war.


in the same respect one could say Pink Floyd is the London Symphony Orchestra of Rock&#39;n Roll.

Actually, I would have to say the Moody Blues were the London Symphony Orchestra of Rock&#39;n Roll. They even used the LSO on their first album. Other than Jethro Tull, I can&#39;t think of a band that utilized a flute so well. ;)

[Kurai Tsuki]

Comfortably Numb
Another Brick in the Wall

[DaCuBaN]

once at a band concert, there was a breif pause between songs, so i cranked my amp and started playing the bass line from money

I do so love playing that riff :D Simple little bounce around on the 2nd and 4th and 5th frets, yet it sounds fantastic.

DSotM opening track, with the heartbeat into the screaming into the upstrum... bliss :)

[Postteen]

Eclipse is great&#33;And of course another brick in the wall...Time&#39;s lovely,Money&#33;&#33;all of them are just incredible&#33;

[nezvanova]

man, great gig in the sky is awesome too. i just finished listening to the entire dark side of the moon album. that, and time, and money, and brain damage are all amazing.

[dopediana]

i like the great gig in the sky. the dude just fucking wails. it&#39;s incredible. but i like shine on you crazy diamond. the imagery. you can&#39;t beat it. and the story is great too. it was written for syd barrett after a bad episode with schizophrenia left him a semi-vegetable for a while. he stopped by to visit the band one day and they&#39;d written the song for him. they played it, really grooved, and he stayed blank, just had no reaction at all. then according to ziggy they all wept.

if you find pink floyd&#39;s slow strains boring, then good, because it means that they obviously aren&#39;t looking for pop to please you. it&#39;s all about the musical fusion, meshing sounds to create a landscape that you can feel by hearing. i remember an old member, antimachine, really loves pink floyd. i think he&#39;s still somewhere at college in arkansas smoking pot and reading books and playing his guitar.


Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun.
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now there&#39;s a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target
for faraway laughter;
Come on you stranger, you legend,
You martyr, and shine

You reached for the secret
too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions;
Come on you painter, you piper,
You prisoner, and shine

Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Pile on many
more layers
And I&#39;ll be joining you there
Shine on, you crazy diamond
And we&#39;ll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday&#39;s triumph
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion,
And shine.

Yeah the lady that sings in that came out of the sound booth and said she was sorry it was so shit and she would do it again, of course they told her it was perfect.

[dopediana]

hmmm..... i&#39;m beginning to wonder if you just follow my posts for the specific purpose of finding error or a method to mock what i write.

[Ian]

nah, I dunno either, I&#39;m not trying to find errors, I&#39;m just bored.

But I have 2000+ posts now... how great
