One of the most awaited IPOs on the planet is finally thru... Some facts abt Google...
Unrelated but true story...Sex in space worries NASA scientists....Hilarious...Such a simple subject totally blown out of proportion...
The Kinda diverse stuff we get to read on the net...sometimes mind-boggling...

Still no clarity...googling on the subject-still no answers..mite need some more time to analyze each line...whats going on in Roger Waters brain when he's writing this stuff....He was not a druggie..the other chap in the orginal band-richard wright was...
How could David Gilmour sing it with such enthusiasm and Roger waters write it with such a connect ??WOW !!To be able to perform in front of millions with conviction on a subject that you cannot identify with,simply bcos u havent gone through it yourself...That's something !!

"Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I"

Floyd in "Learning to fly"...Trying to understand the song and the context...The most important lines being..

"There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I "

Did he mean a sense of euphoria and heaven-on-earth feeling when u r stoned ?? Most probably did...
Have to listen to it closely when on a high..will probably be able to relate to it much more in that state....

Endlessly listening to Metallica's "Nothing else matters" and Floyd's "Coming back to life"

The mother of all parties...ever...."Laughing waters" on ECR...Poolside,wild side.....Images,memories,nostalgia,fun....something i'll remember for a lifetime...
