Pink Floyd- Sorrow Lyrics
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Writer(s): David Gilmour, David Jon Gilmour Copyright: Pink Floyd Music Publr. Inc., Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., Pink Floyd Music Publisher " The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky: A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers, But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise He's chained forever to a world that's departed It's not enough, it's not enough His blood has frozen & curdled with fright His knees have trembled & given way in the night His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered One world, one soul Time pass, the river rolls And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication And silent replies that swirl invitation Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea A grim intimation of what is to be There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight And silence that speaks so much louder that words, Of promises broken'

Can there ever be a better god than gilmour??

I was not a big fan of this song until I heard a live version. Beats the hell out of the studio version.
-
Let me clarify...Music like many things in life is about "Perspective" I was listening to this song after I had gone thru HELL, and I survived. I was Reflecting....

February 1990 in my friends car cruising beach side Daytona Beach FL. I pushed "Play" and this is what came up. It was a chilling scenario. It Haunts me to this day every time I hear it...In a Good Way. Great Memories.

In this song, the Roland D-50 internal patches "Soundtrack" and "Griitttarr" and PN-D50-01 patches "Pulse Pad" and "Griitttarr 2" and 27th Asian-European Yamaha DX7 internal patch "Tub Bells" were heard.

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
It's not enough it's not enough
His hand has faltered
.... .... ......
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken. -
The intro & lyrics are incredible...he`s chained forever to a world that`s departed, it`s not enough....one world, one soul, time pass, river rolls.... he talks to the river of lost love and dedication, silent replies, swirl invitation.... a grim intimation of what is to be.... There`s an unceasing wind that blows through this night, there`s dust in my eyes that blinds my sight.. And silence that speaks so much louder than words, of promises broken.. Guitar....
