A million bright ambassadors of morning

Post by rojo » Thu Jul 26, 2007 6:23 am

Thought some of you might enjoy this...I wouldn't start it unless you have about a 20 some minutes to devote to it...really worth the time tho.

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
And no one speaks and no-one tries
And no one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky


Don't care how many times I hear it, always reminds me of Starport

Great stuff. The next time I watch the movie I'll crank up the Floyd and watch it this way. Too bad I gave up mind-altering substances :)

Yea of all the posts I've ever made, this is probably my favorite one...at least my most important one.


Pretty crazy to watch, I catch myself watching it randomly all the time late at night. Echoes was one of the most important artistic statements of the 21st century.

Absolute masterpiece...Kubrick's a king, Floyd are gods.

I have a question... your quote sais "Vivo" and Revolucion.

I'm not sure if that's mispelling, but isn't Vivo 1rst person, or "I live"?

Oh, and then there's this.

I don't speak spanish but what it is supposed to say is I live the revolution...someone correct that if its wrong. That link sounds more like a Monday Night Football montage than anything.

Thanks man, I actually thought this thread was deleted, I had searched for it about two weeks ago and had no luck, this is probably my favorite thread on the forums. Great, great video.

Well its 3 am, can't fall asleep and have the flu. So thought I'd watch this again, prolly my 15th time or so watching it, good stuff, brings back good memories from this game. I just started learning to play the lead part on this today, so far so good, though I have no idea how in tune my guitar would be by the end of a 23-minute Gilmour trip.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

Take it easy everyone, mellow out and enjoy life.

You can't be crazy to think your insane.

In fact, that makes you quite the opposite.

i once had a friend who'd recently been diagnosed bipolar 2 with mania and then tried to have an argument with me based on the idea that since she now knew she was crazy (how she stated it) - that meant that she wasn't really crazy - that if you knew you were, then you really wern't....to say the least it was a very tiresome argument that didn't really go anywhere (well...she got temporarilly locked in a mental ward...but the conversation didn't go anywhere)...

Question: Was she happier being crazy or quite the opposite?

well...i'm not sure if she was happier being crazy or not - she was happy it had a name (as in bi-polar - not my joke of calling it fred...) - she's more normalized with medication (but refuses to admit she's taking meds...) and her parents have had to have ben called to fly out 2x since she was diagnosed b/c she was falling apart/not taking meds/becomming very manic/depressed....so i'd say she's the same - other than being happier she has an excuse to act so whacked out and it has a name...

(if any of that made sense i'll be happy)

Only good things


He was a blind irishman.
