my life in the bush of ghost

for everyone
In this first experience of pregnancy, it suprises me that I cannot listen to any kind of song like random song makes me sick I could puke. Like for example, I dont mean to be 'mean' to electroclash fan, i, myself used to listen to this kind of music. But now..everytime I listen to that kind of song like in the TV, with girls sing like screaming (oh my god they cant sing damm it!). Yes I want to bang someone's head to the wall. And 70's rock soothes me. Especially Pink Floyd.

This is the longest Pink Floyd song ever made. Its actually longer than a single side of vinyl would allow so It was split into two parts. Well, its 2006 and this is the full 9 parts. This composition and lyrics, written by Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour, is a tribute to Syd Barrett, even the song's title echoes Syd's name: Shine on You crazy Diamond. (According to wikipedia, the word "Diamond" in this context corresponds to "Diamonds" in The Beatles' classic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", possibly as a reference to Barrett's struggle with LSD). Everytime I listen to this song and if you had known some facts about the song, the history, the friendship, the tragedy... your heart beats, and i dont lie loh, i cry, not alligator cry sih but more like berkaca2 and looooong silent sigh

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now theres a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers
And Ill be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And well bask in the shadow
Of yesterdays triumph,
And sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Hi.. just want to share...
I just lost my best friends last week after coma for 10 days, heart attack... so I remember PF with The Great Gig in The Sky...

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."
