Green Is the Colour (from More)

Tag

David Gilmour, Roger Waters, More, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, The Beginning

It is a song by Roger Waters. A tin whistle is heard in the song, played by drummer Nick Mason‘s then-wife Lindy.

Live arrangements of the song were performed as a full electric band piece and at a slower tempo. Richard Wright built a calm sheen of warbling organ sound throughout, which created a more natural segue into the piece that always immediately followed it, “Careful with That Axe, Eugene“. David Gilmour also sang a scat vocal over his guitar solo during the outro. In a live intro to the song from 1970, Roger Waters states that the song is “about being on Ibiza” the setting of the film, More.

In The Man and The Journey suite, the song was retitled “The Beginning” in “The Journey” half of the show. It was played as a medley with “Beset by the Creatures of the Deep”, which was a retitling of “Careful with That Axe, Eugene”.
The song was a regular part of the band’s shows from early 1969 through 1970, then less common in 1971. It was played for the last time during their short tour of Japan and Australia in August 1971.

Lirycs

“Heavy hung the canopy of blue
shade my eyes and I can see you
white is the light that shines
through the dress that you wore

She lay in the shadow of a wave
hazy were the visions overplayed
sunlight in her eyes
but moonshine made her cry
every time

Green is the colour of her kind
quickness of the eye deceives the mind
envy is the bond between the hopeful
and the damned”.

Brano scritto da Roger Waters per l’album “More”, interpretata da David Gilmour. Nel brano vi é l’apporto del flauto suonato da Linda Mason, allora moglie di Nick.

Nel film il brano, molto dolce e sognante, è impiegato per descrivere il momento di massimo idillio fra i due giovani che, fuggiti dall’altra parte dell’isola in una casa isolata, lontani dal pusher (a cui lei ha rubato dell’ero), vivono la loro storia d’amore, di libertà, di sesso e di buona droga leggera (lui crede)

Up the Khyber (from More)

Tag

Interstellar Overdrive, More, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Up the Khyber, Doing It!

It was written by their drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Richard Wright.

Essentially, the piece is an extended drum solo with added hectic piano playing, haunting organ lines, and unusual tape effects. It is approximately 2 minutes and 12 seconds long. It is the only Pink Floyd song credited to Mason/Wright.

The song was played live in a slightly altered state on The Man and the Journey where it was entitled, “Doing It!“. It was also played as a part of “Interstellar Overdrive“.

Il brano é stato scritto dal loro batterista Nick Mason e il tastierista Richard Wright.

In sostanza, il pezzo è un esteso assolo di batteria con alcune variazioni di pianoforte, organo ed insoliti effetti. E’ l’unico brano dei Pink Floyd accreditato a Mason / Wright.

Crying Song (from More)

Tag

David Gilmour, Roger Waters, More, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Crying Song

“Crying Song” was composed by Roger Waters. It appears on their 1969 soundtrack album from the Film More. The song is a lazy pastoral-like ballad, featuring a dreamy vocal delivery by Gilmour. The song was never performed live.
The song is introduced by a vibraphone played by Richard Wright. David Gilmour plays acoustic guitar and the final electric guitar solo which is in the beginning very close to the vocal line with some rhythmic variation. It slowly evolves into its own melody line while maintaining its melodic character. This approach is very typical for Gilmour’s later style. Roger Waters can be heard on the Fender Precision Bass while Nick Mason is using just the snare drum of his kit.

“Crying Song” é stata composta da Roger Waters. Appare sul loro album colonna sonora del film More. La canzone è un lento-pastorale, simile ad una ballata, con una parte vocale di Gilmour. La canzone non fu mai eseguita dal vivo.
La canzone è introdotta da un vibrafono suonato da Richard Wright. David Gilmour suona la chitarra acustica e l’assolo finale di chitarra elettrica che è in principio molto vicino alla linea vocale con qualche variazione ritmica. Si evolve lentamente nella sua linea melodica propria, pur mantenendo il suo carattere melodico. Questo approccio è molto tipico di quello che sarà lo stile di Gilmour. Roger Waters si ascolta sul Fender Precision Bass mentre Nick Mason utilizza solo il rullante.

Lyrics

We smile and smile
We smile and smile
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climb and climb
We climb and climb
Footfall softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We role and role
We role and role
Help me role away the stone
