I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, I love your new sig line!! My best friend and I used to get totally buzzed to 'the wall' when we were in high school. By buzzed I mean we'd drink a six pack of Mountain Dew and down a large bag of M&M's. We thought we were sooooo cooooool! (and I wondered why I had such horrible acne!!!)

YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING UNTIL YOU EAT YOUR MEAT...HOW can you have any pudding if you won't eat your meat!!!

I'm always a little reticent 2 post Pink lyrics because some of them can be pretty depressing. At least a lot of Roger Waters' stuff is.

But very deep, 2.

Here's one of my favorite "deep" songs as a gift 2 you! Precisely because your posts 2 every "weak and weary" one of us have been more helpful than you can imagine. You are an inspiration!

"On the Turning Away"

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand.
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering,
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away.

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it'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're all alone
In the dream of the proud.

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring,
When the speechless unite
In a silent accord.
Using words you will find are strange
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.
In a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare.
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Pink Floyd has a history of depressive music back to its founding days with their former leader Roger Keith ('Syd') Barrett. 'The Wall' seems more the story of Syd Barrett than any other album they came up with ('Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here').

You know, though...the eternal optomist in me saw the end as a breakthrough of the wall. I saw it as a happy ending...one of hope, anyway. The whole story hit awfully close to home for me...as it seemed to be somewhat the plight of my father as well.

I liked Paul Simon a ton too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Floyd and a lot of Roger Waters solo stuff is pure genius. Depressing, much of it, sure...But Waters' solo efforts "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" (which I believe deals with the ups and downs of relationships) and "Amused to Death" (on war and society) are absolute masterpieces.

If anyone here is a Floyd fan, check out those two lesser heard, but incredible CDs.
