Thread: You pick the place and I'll choose the time

The "idiot" clearly understands the truth of the situation, including who is determining what constitutes "idiocy."

Yes, the idiot is obviously not an idiot. Also, I can't keep my eyes from the circling skies - tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit.

Physically bound, spiritually free. Without the binds, could the spirit soar?

That is debatable, and I shall not go in-depth on that very matter right now, good sir.

This thread's very poetic and all, and I hate to bump in like this (so feel free to delete this post if it somehow bothers you),
but could one of you please tell me what the hell this is??? O_o... Good... Sirs???

That's up to you to decide. Deform the posts with your mind, and absorb them however you are inclined to see fit. Be voluptuous here, good sir, for this is a voluptuous topic. None of us shall agress.

I can hear you think. Your opinion of this post and even this topic is heavily skewed, for it is quite diaphanous, but worry not and just parse; While this topic may not be confabulation, it is definitely awe-inspiring and certainly meritorious.

Well, Tweak is rambling off Pink Floyd lyrics. What that has to do with place and time - or anything else for that matter - is way beyond my powers of reasoning.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time is also a line in Fearless, which is indeed a song by Pink Floyd.

Yeah, I didn't realise that until you mentioned it though. Man I love that song. I really need to dig that album back out, haven't heard it in a long time.

How about Free, Four? It's the same thing (well, very similar) as "Spirit in the Sky", only different lyrics. Alright, I've shown my ignorance, I'm out

I hadn't heard it in a long time either. I thought I should listen to some Pink Floyd, so I listened to some Wish You Were Here, Fearless and of course Dark Side of the Moon.

"And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down and hear the sound of the things you said today"

Well I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincerely,
The band is just fantastic - that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far."

I like you already.
The difference between us is probably age. PF is more of your time than it is of mine.

I first heard "Another Brick in the Wall" when I was about 8 or so and was in love with the band ever since then. Though, I must admit I'm not much of a fan of the post-Roger Waters Floyd. Waters was what make them so great.

Speaking of Roger Waters, if you've not heard his solo albums you must do so. They are very much like the old Floyd stuff. The ones I own on CD are "Amused to Death" (awesome), The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" (awesome), "Radio KAOS" (A bit more disco than the others), and "Music From The Body" (A total waste, trust me). I think there's another too but, I can't think of it at the moment. But, you must hear Amused to Death and Pros and Cons. They are pure gold concept albums.

As far as Floyd goes: The Wall, The Final Cut, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Dark Side of the Moon are probably my favorites but, I like most of the older Floyd. Though I hate "Several Species of Several Small Furry Creatures Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict." That's just a bunch of noise to me.

Yeah, the name alone annoys me. But I'll be sure to check out some Waters solo albums. I've heard some Syd Barrett solo songs, but they aren't too great. I never really liked the PF albums when Barrett was in lead anyway. Seems to me like they hadn't found their groove, and Barrett was always a bit of a looney. Only shows later, when he became mental. But it's still undeniable, Barrett did establish somewhat of a ground that Pink Floyd established on.
And yeah, The Wall, WYWH, Animals and DSOTM are my favourites too. Although I can't deny I like A Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle. Some great songs are on there.

The Waters era was indeed a good one, but I also liked their breakthrough-setup, with Wright, Gilmour, Waters and Mason. If I recall correctly, that's when they made Relics, Wish You Were Here and DSOTM.

I've heard some of David Gilmore's solo stuff and I'm not impressed by it either. The style is too far from the PF style.

Ah, a Pink Floyd discussion, about time. I've always liked the band, but it wasn't until earlier this year that I started listening to them religiously. The reason for that is because I stumbled upon an explanation of the Wall and the indepth symbolism that transfers from song to song. I love when songs have symbolism and when the band actually puts the effort in to make that symbolism work.

The Trial is my favourite mostly because it's this insane, climatic, original-sounding song where all of Pink's past catches up to him.

Good morning, Worm, your honour,
The Crown will plainly show the prisoner,
Who now stands before you,
Was caught red handed showing feelings,
Showing feelings of an almost human nature...
This will not do.

Pink's? You realize noone in the band is called Pink, nor Floyd?

In the album the Wall, the protagonist's name is Pink. Very evident in the song In the Flesh.

I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel,
And they sent us along, as a surrogate band,
We're gonna find out where you fans really stand.

You must not be very familiar with the Wall, TweaK, the whole thing is a story about a guy named 'Pink'. :p

Careful with that ax, Eugene.

I wish they'd get back together. Roger has said he'd like to do a full reunion but David dosn't.

I am, indeed, not too familiar with The Wall. I thought you thought Pink and Floyd were the guy's names, which is why I thought it was funny But yeah, I'm not too familiar with The Wall.

The Wall:

Movie = kind of lame.

Album = One of the best: EVER.
