What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Here's one for the ages. Listening to it going to work today watching a beautiful Tennessee sunrise. Heard this when it first came out in 1973 and it has stuck with me ever since. The words are about as close to a soundtrack of my life as one can get, aside from some tunes by the Eagles. Enjoy!
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day/ Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.../ Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town,/ Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain/ You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today/ And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you/ No one told you when to run you missed the starting gun...
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking/ Racing around to come up behind you again/ The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older/ Shorter of breath and one day closer to death...
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time/ Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines/ Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way/ The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say....
Pink Floyd was the original red pill. The video of The Wall, with the kids going on the conveyor machine ... the whole "you dont need no education, you dont need no thought control" .... and then of course there is Syd Barret. What horrors did he see (I can easily guess) that drove him mad. Did he go mad because he saw evil people doing evil things? OR because he saw all the others around him happily going along with the evil? I am thinking latter.
This particular song though, was a wake up call when I was in school.
Outstanding analysis. All you have to do is set some time aside and listen to Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, and you will get so many red pills your head will spin.
