- Gretar from Reykjavík Iceland ( Ísland)Iv listen to Floyd sinds they released "The Wall" (then 11 yo) and got MEGA hooked but late in 1985 ( was 16 yo) I discovered "Obscured by Clouds", maybe there Best Record.?
And "Wot's..... Uh the deal" have been my "one of top five" with Pink Floyd...... Uh & still is (now 54 yo).
Pink Floyd is the "BEST Mental Medicine I know of or have trued :-) - Flink Pod from AustraliaDavid wrote the guitar parts, not the chord sequence or melody.
- Nik Gnashers from Lincolnshire, UkOne of my favourites, and one I play myself at open mic nights.
- Jason from Raleigh, NcIs it crazy that this might be my favorite Floyd song?
- Matt from Winter Park, FlThe lyrics to this song almost synched to my life when I first moved away from home. I was so far from home and alone for a while and every time I hear David singing "MIllion miles from home, your all alone..." I get the chills. A most beautiful song by Pink Floyd.
- Oldpink from New Castle, InI find this song absolutely gorgeous, with Dave's gentle singing and his guitar simply crying out joyfully.
Dave was smart to perform it live for his solo tours, especially considering how Floyd would not do it live. - Chuck from Joppa, Md, MdUhm. Song was definitely a collaboration...and GILMOUR wrote the music. Hence, why he's been performing it live a lot recently.
