A song that explains

THis song is my favorite song, by one of my favorite artists. I think it explains how the world is thinking, even 30 years after it was released. Can any one guess who its by???

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.


Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Enjoy!

Pink-Floyd

Time by Pink Floyd.
I cheated and googled.
I'll have to take a moment to listen to it.

I cheated too

I just listened to it on You-tube. Great music! I’ve heard the song before but never paid attention to the words. I could see why you like it so much.
Seize the day!

Pink Floyd -Time

Also one of my favorites

That whole album is great, they really pin point spiritual and mental feelings very well, and pluck emotional strings. As well as having great music. The Darkside of the Moon seems to deal with insanity, but i think its about finding oneself, and getting through all of lifes distractions.

Truely the best album ever. ID suggest it to anyone.

Very Good Post Canadianmind put a smile on my face after a rough morning. I wasn't quite sure what song it was until i saw Vanilla2 post. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite groups their name is very mysterious and psychedelic and has much more meaning between the lines. I see an Anagram in the name Pink Floyd The Wall although i have not broken it yet. My favorite album by them is The Wall I have heard the song Time many times i guess i never really payed attention to the lyrics i shall go listen to this song on you tube, this post was alot of fun to read.

Many Blessings

Most of there albums are good. Alot of it is a prefered taste. Obscured by clouds is a very good album. The wall is one of ther best, and its definetly one of my favorite movies

The Movie is really good haven't seen it in quite some time probably between 16 - 18 years ago, i do remember the cartoon skits in the movie which i felt were very symbolic, but i still have yet to understand what the teachings were. I know i only mentioned the wall, i agree most of their albums are very good.

Many Blessings
