SOTD #138
Today’s song is Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil,
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
From the album of the same name, this is in my top three of favourite Pink Floyd tracks, partly because of its simplicity and partly because of the feelings invoked by the line “we’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year”. I can’t begin to put into words the way that line makes me feel; suffice to say that it really hits me where I live.
