Mother (Pink Floyd Song)
"Mother" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd from their 1979 album ''The Wall''. Composition "Mother" is 5:32 in length. The majority of the song is in G major, though the chorus is predominantly a plagal cadence in C major. The song is notable for its varied use of time signatures, such as 5/8 and 9/8. Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason found these time-signature changes difficult to learn, and, with the band recording on a very tight schedule, ceded the drumming duties to session drummer Jeff Porcaro. The song begins quietly with solo voice and a single acoustic guitar, and gradually expands its instrumentation to include, by song's end, reed organ, piano, drums, electric bass, and electric guitar. The song has a short introduction, consisting only of a sharp inhalation and rapid exhalation before the first verses are sung by Roger Waters. The verse timing progression is: 5/8 - 8/8 × 4 - 5/8 - 8/8 × 8 - 6/8 - 8/8 × 2 - 5/8 - 8/8 × 4 - 5/8 - 8/8 × 8 - 6/8 - 8/8 × 3. ...

The music was composed by the band's guitarist, David Gilmour; the lyrics were written by the bassist, Roger Waters, who recalled his experience of being injected with tranquilisers before a performance in 1977. Waters and Gilmour argued during the recording, with Waters seeking an Orchestra, orchestral arrangement and Gilmour preferring a more stripped-down arrangement. They compromised by combining both versions, and Gilmour said the song was the last time he and Waters were able to work together constructively. "Comfortably Numb" is one of Pink Floyd's most popular songs and is notable for its two Guitar solo, guitar solos.

Bring The Boys Back Home
"Bring the Boys Back Home" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd released on their 1979 album, '' The Wall''. The song was released as a B-side on the single, " When the Tigers Broke Free". Composition As the final notes of the previous song " Vera" decay, the listener hears several snare drums articulating a march beat in time, fading in like approaching soldiers. The song proves to be polyrhythmic, as this beat continues unchanged while the orchestra, choir, and lead vocals begin in . Roger Waters sings the simple and direct lyric in his upper register, stridently, supported by a choir. A IV-V-I chord progression in G major repeats, providing a sense of satisfaction. This is followed by a reversal, from G to D major with F-sharp in the bass, to C major, which features a tritone movement in the bassline, going from F♯ to C, introducing a sense of instability. This progression is a recurring Pink Floyd theme, appearing throughout the album in "Hey You", "Vera", and o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nobody Home
"Nobody Home" is a song from the Pink Floyd album ''The Wall''. This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, '' Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd''. Background "Nobody Home" was written late into the development of ''The Wall'' after an argument between the band and Roger Waters. David Gilmour said that the song "came along when we were well into the thing 'The Wall''and he’d atersgone off in a sulk the night before and came in the next day with something fantastic."

Is There Anybody Out There?
"Is There Anybody Out There?" is a song from the eleventh Pink Floyd album, ''The Wall''. Music The first half of the piece has the same concept of " Hey You", being a distress call from Pink. Musically, it's a droning bass synthesizer with various sound effects layered on top, and a repeating chorus of "Is there anybody out there?". The shrill siren-like sound effect used during this song is also used in an earlier Pink Floyd work, " Echoes". The noise is mimicking a seagull cry. The seagull noise was created by David Gilmour using a wah-wah pedal with the guitar and output leads plugged in the wrong way round. The second half of the song is an instrumental classical guitar solo. In interviews, David Gilmour has said that he tried to perform it, and was not satisfied with the final result ("I could play it with a leather pick but couldn't play it properly fingerstyle"). Accordingly, session musician Joe DiBlasiFitch, Vernon, ''The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia'', p. 155. was bro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hey You (Pink Floyd Song)
"Hey You" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on their 1979 double album ''The Wall''. It also appeared as the B-side to the "Comfortably Numb" single in 1980. The song, along with " The Show Must Go On", was edited out of ''Pink Floyd – The Wall'' to prevent the film from running too long; however, a rough version is available as an extra on the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD of ''The Wall''. Composition The song starts off with an acoustic guitar, restrung in a fashion similar to Nashville tuning, but with the low E string replaced by a high E tuned two full octaves higher than normal. It plays arpeggios over E and D minor added ninth chords. The alternate stringing allows for adjacent pitches (such as the E, F♯, and G of the Em9 chord) to ring out separately on separate strings throughout the arpeggio. A fretless bass enters, also played by guitarist David Gilmour rather than usual bassist Roger Waters. Next to join in is the Fender Rhodes electric pia ...

Goodbye Cruel World (Pink Floyd Song)
''The Wall'' is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/ CBS Records. It is a rock opera which explores Pink, a jaded rock star, as he constructs a psychological "wall" of social isolation. ''The Wall'' topped the US charts for 15 weeks and reached number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time. The bassist, Roger Waters, conceived ''The Wall'' during Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and the former member Syd Barrett. Recording spanned from December 1978 to November 1979. The producer Bob Ezrin helped to refine the concept and bridge tensions during recording, as the band members were struggling with personal and financial problems. The keyboardist, Richard Wright, was fired by Waters during production ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Don't Leave Me Now (Pink Floyd Song)
"Don't Leave Me Now" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It appears on '' The Wall'' album (1979) and was released as a B-side on the single of " Run Like Hell". A 12" single of "Run Like Hell," "Don't Leave Me Now" and " Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" peaked at #57 on the Disco Top 100 chart in the U.S. Composition The main section of "Don't Leave Me Now", recorded with synthesizer bass, organ, piano, and a delay-treated guitar, does not adhere to one single key, but rather cycles slowly through four dissonant and seemingly-unrelated chords, for two measures of each: An E augmented chord, followed by a D flat major seventh chord, a B flat dominant seventh chord with a suspended second, followed by a G Major chord, which, after one bar, augments its fifth, before returning to the beginning of the progression. The first three chords all sustain the notes G♯/A♭ and C, and this interval is then lowered chromatically by one semitone for the conclusion on ...

One Of My Turns
"One of My Turns" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, appearing on their 1979 album '' The Wall''. The song was also released as a B-side on the single of " Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)". Composition The song is split into distinct segments: a groupie ( Trudy Young) performs a monologue (''"Oh my God, what a fabulous room!"'') while a television plays, under which a synthesizer makes atonal sounds, which eventually resolve into a quiet song in C major in 3/4 time (''"Day after day / Love turns grey / Like the skin of a dying man."''). Finally, the song abruptly leaps into a hard rock song in B-flat major in 4/4 time. The song features some of Waters' most strenuous recorded vocal workouts, with him ending at a relatively high A above middle C. The composition's instrumental introduction makes use of the Phrygian mode, a musical mode rarely used in pop and rock music. Plot ''The Wall'' is the story of Pink, an embittered and alienated rock star, whose sanity ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
