Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We say goodbye before we've said hello
I hardly even like you
I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago
The music was too loud
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
And I would like to know
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
Not a single word was said
The night still hid our fears
Occasionally you showed a smile
But what was the need
I felt the cold far too soon
In a room of 95
My friends are lying in the sun
I wish that I was there
Tomorrow brings another town
Another girl like you
Have you time before you leave to greet another man?
Just you let me know
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
Goodbye to you
Charlotte Pringle's due
I've had enough for one day
And I would like to know
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
Not a single word was said
The night still hid our fears
Occasionally you showed a smile
But what was the need

How do you feel?

This song is such a perfection. Love the feeling of passage of time and summertime love it gives. And how it switches from stereo to mono before the magnificent orchestral drama starts!
Yes I also like perfection in this song.
Udderly terrific.
You're milking it for all it's worth.
Holy cow!! What a true classic. Thanks for a trip back down memory lane.
Udderly terrific.

Holy words !!
Full my opinion too. I can even listen to David Byrne at RP ...most of the time
.I also happen to love this pearl from the Floyds.
Ah, the summer of '68...i was very young. I think it rained though...I am in the UK. Great song, nonetheless. I remeber buying this album and walking around with it to show how 'cool' I was. I suspect other kids thought 'Twat'.
Who cares...Udderly terrific.
Floyd really churned some good tunes out.

My next album was the debut from Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
I hear The Beach Boys and XTC in this track and a love all of that:
And of course...Sgt Pepper!
Wow is William on a roll today?! Loving the renewed attention to the RP playlists.
To site just one small example:
Radiohead - Nice Dream
Floyd - Summer of 68
Dandy's - Godless
Kula - Govinda
Yeah that works - works brilliantly! [had to come back and edit given following song]
You know, if you want a station that only plays the stuff you like, go to Pandora and make yourself one. I happen to love this song, but even when Bill plays one I hate, I'm interested to hear it. It's about getting another point of view from a human, not just endlessly feeding myself the stuff I already know and love.
Evolve or die, buddy.
Getting another point of view. Yep, it's why one reads novels as well . or travels. Expand your mind, expand your horizons.
This is one of those songs that has been stuck in my head for over 10 years since I heard it last. Good to refresh the grooves in the gray matter.
Edit:
I've come up with a rating system to make your Pink Floyd Rating Experience a little bit easier.

And, contrary to the comments on a lot of music here on RP, it's not a song that 'sounds like PF'
Udderly terrific.
I see what you did there...

Try 'The Nile Song' if you want to relax to the Floyd.
must be about 35 years ago, i played that (vinyl) record. thanx, bill

Since Gilmour has decided to dedicate his career to being one of the better Pink Floyd tribute bands out there I don't think he's the best indicator of what a hardcore PF fan thinks. Pink Floyd was the most interesting before it became a Roger Waters solo project.
This is utter hogwash. Gilmour was as essential to Floyd as Waters. Furthermore, he (really they as 2 other members were in on the late PF offerings) hasn't released anything under the PF name in 25 years.
Both Gilmour and Waters play PF songs live, so one could make the exact same argument (i.e. tribute band) about Roger. Hell, he just did 2 tours of the Wall in the last 5 years. It's sad what happened between them (and Rick Wright/Nick Mason) but most of the damage was done by Mr. Waters. This included firing Rick Wright from the band.
I for one am glad for AMLOR and the Division Bell and thankful that PF lived on another 10 years without Roger.
The piano, trumpets and particularly the church organ make me very very happy. Thank you, PF and RP.
Even the members of the band expressed their disdain for this album in more recent times; Gilmour apparently called it "rubbish". I like some of the stuff on this album though.

Not their best effort for sure, but an interesting timepiece to listen to once in a while.
underestimated rick wright - the george harrison of the floyd if you want - together with the genius of mr gilmour was for me the responsible for the unique PF music signature. of course the lyrics of roger waters (especially from DSOTM on) mede the whole complete.
Hearing this again after a very many years, suddenly the trippy piano reminded me of the Robbie Williams song "Feel". Obviously there is 41 years gap between them and the Robbie Willams one is pure pop but still it might be a nice comparison for RP listeners to compare and contrast them both.


Thanks, Bill!

Probably he was referring to other songs on this album. This one is a real gem. Which can't be said of Alan's psychedelic breakfast.

Today is election day...millions of Americans will vote for the Democratic party, millions will vote for the Republican party....and one person will even vote for the Socialists!!
As we say in Chicago: vote early and often!
Good luck with your republican party. All american people thinks worst about socialism. Meet Europe and you change your mind. EEUU has a really ancient thinking, since dinosaurus don't see anything similar.

How do you feel? (Summer or 2014 is here.)
Listen again.
I agree
Edit: Oh no I am thinking of the atom hearth mother suite, the 20 minute long one.
Listen again.
Everybody in my churches loves this song...
Which is why Mr. Emerson of the Nice went and found himself Mr. Lake of King Crimson.
Actually - the Floyd - like hundreds of other musicians including the Beatles - were probably listening to Pet Sounds a lot in the summer of '66 and all the seasons to follow before they stepped in to record this.
Oh - and the probably listened to Revolver and Sgt Pepper as well.
This is a very cool piece of work.
I attended a modern dance performed to Atom Heart Mother 1971-ish. I expected it to be silly, but I was quite amazed. A somewhat neglected PF album, best taken as single composition.
Agreed!

The Kinks couldn't carry Floyd's guitar straps or any other equipment. No really, they asked one time and Waters told em to piss off!
One of the greatest album covers of all time BTW and a great song! 8

Love Pink Floyd's work, period.
Along with Relayer and a few other pals, I saw "The Wall" tour back in November '10 in Tampa. As expected, it was outstanding...no...it was epic despite the fact that it was performed in a professional ice hockey arena and we had nosebleed seats. I spoke with one concert goer who had seen the original Wall tour in NY. He too was positively impressed with Roger's new production. I can't wait for the DVD to come out for it. We were hoping Gilmour would choose the Tampa show for his one-time impromptu appearance but no dice. Does anyone know what show he played? Has he shown up yet? ;)
Yes, Gilmour played at th O2 in London in May. He came on for Comfortably Numb.
Apparently Nick Mason was in the audience but resisted the urge to join in... It is very sad that they no longer have the option to reform as a 4 piece.

I just discovered you


..cows help us all...

I saw the epic "Wall" tour recently. After you see the Waters show, I can pretty much guarantee that you will change your mind about preferring to see Gilmour (and I'm a big fan of both).
