HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO A ROCK SONG I FORGOT THE NAME AND NO ITS NOT HELLO?
Is that really all you can remember about a song? That's not much help. It might be I Dare You by Shinedown, but I can't say for sure.
Pink Floyd Question About One of Their Songs?
It's not Michael Caine, although I'm sure the band would have loved to utilize his voice. The voice that comes on is a gentleman named Gerry O'Driscoll, the Irish doorman at Abbey Road studios. During the making of Dark Side of the Moon, Roger Waters wrote up a bunch of interview questions and interviewed people around the recording studio. It's been said many times that Roger Waters also interviewed Paul and Linda McCartney because Wings was recording an album at the time, but didn't use any of their material because they tried to be too funny. David Gilmour notes that the best stuff they got in those interviews were from people who weren't used to being interviewed and spoke their mind more freely. Some of the most prominent voice overs on Dark Side of the Moon along with Irish doorman Gerry O' Driscoll are Pink Floyd roadies Roger The Hat Manifold and Chris Adamson, Wings member Henry McCullough, and Pink Floyd's road manager Peter Watts and his wife Patricia. Thanks for the question, hope this helps!
What is your favorite Pink Floyd song / album?
“What is your most favorite Pink Floyd album?”The Wall.This was my first conscious exposure to the music of Pink Floyd.I’d heard of the band; a neighbour at my grandparents’ cottage had the cover to Dark Side of the Moon, with the band’s stylized name, painted on the sides of their boat.I’d never heard a song of theirs, at least not that I can recall.Then, one day, my friend Andrew met me at school and said that he stayed up late and saw this movie on late-night TV, about some dude who shaved his nipples off! Holy crap!That night, I told my older brother what I’d heard. He said, “Yeah, that’s The Wall for you.” He then showed me a double LP:…And then he played it on his very expensive hi-fi system.I was blown away by the music, and the story woven into the album.Every time he went to work, I would sneak down to his room and play as much of it as I thought I could do without getting caught.Side note - that double LP is currently in my possession. I have no idea how it got into my collection, but there we have it.Not only do I own the vinyl, I own a double-CD copy, and have ripped it to MP3 so that I can take it anywhere I like. I’ve also added it to my Google Play Music account, because I love it so much.I’ve since obtained several other Floyd albums, but The Wall holds my attention, over and over.Not only is it a powerful concept album, with so many iconic classic rock songs (Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2; Mother; Young Lust; Hey You; Comfortably Numb; Run Like Hell), but it’s also a continuous loop; the very, very end of Outside The Wall ends very abruptly, while the very, very beginning of In The Flesh? starts very abruptly. If you listen very carefully over where a break between these two tracks would be, you can hear someone (Roger Waters, supposedly) saying, “Isn’t this where we came in?” Brilliant.(Supposedly Animals has a similar loop over the end/beginning but I’ve never looked into this one myself)
Are the any love songs by Pink Floyd that wood be good for couples?
I'm pretty sure the closest thing to a love song Pink Floyd has ever written is One Slip, from the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" album, and that's not even close to a love song. Us and Them is also nowhere near being a love song, so that answer shouldn't be there. And the same with "Coming Back To Life" and Wish You Were Here". Coming Back To Life is a song about being yourself. Wish You Were Here is a song about the fact that people like to live in the safety of their own everyday life, and basically, that we don't get out much. Us and Them has about 25 different messages, and none of them involve love. Take It Back is probably the best love song you're gonna get out of Pink Floyd. I forgot about that one. Actually, Green Is the Colour might be even better, but I don't know it very well, because, for some reason I don't really like that album, so I don't listen to it. But you aren't a Pink Floyd fan if you think Wish You Were Here is a love song. Pigs On the Wing might be too short, but you could combine the 2 parts, and that's probably your best option.
What are the best Pink Floyd instrumentals?
This is a subjective question, so these are my 5 subjective answers:One of These Days (Meddle): That pulsating bass (okay, yes, it's two basses playing together, but still...) and the frenetic drumming and the eerie feeling it gives you as the song hits it's climax.The Great Gig in the Sky (DSoTM): Yes there are vocals, but no lyrics, so it's still kind of an instrumental. Although the wailing is a bit much in a few places, the piano playing is truly beautiful. Very moving piece. Signs of Life: (MLoR) The spooky organ, the water, the beautiful way the sound increases. I love this often-overlooked gem.Celestial Voices: (UmmaGumma) I'm cheating here, because Celestial Voices is only one part of the "Saucerful of Secrets" suite, but it's the only part of that song I enjoy. The soft four-note organ intro, the gradual addition of other instruments, the increase in volume, then the crescendo and a non-lyrical vocal by Gilmour. Love it!The Ballad of Will Hubbard: (Amused to Death) Now I'm hugely cheating, because it's on a Roger Waters solo album, but if I included one track without Waters, I'll balance it by adding a Waters track without the rest of them. Musically, it's not much; it's very sombre and serious. But there's an elderly man in the background talking about his experiences in no man's land in WWI and it is very moving. I find it riveting.
