Just found out that Richard Wright, keyboard player & one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, has died. (I really love the band & have most of their albums). He was only 65, guess I'll go a crank up the stereo with Dark Side of the Moon. R.I.P

 

When they played in Sydney (out door concert) Me & a mate crawled under the stage (long story not intentional) while they where playing 'Careful with that Axe Eugene' & I think my mate could have be Stoned...........................

 

I really don't know what to say. I grew up listening to their songs and albums. This is a very sad news man. R.I.P.

My favorite: TIME (oh I love THE WALL too!)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre 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 Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its 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.

 

Of all the things a rock star to be taken out by I wouldn't have thought it would be cancer []

Great band .. loved their music since I was a kid .. never got high but made me feel as I where (in a good way).

I'm comfortably numb.

 

One of my most favorite bands of all time.

Gotta go out with lyrics to my favorite song by them:

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
