Signs of Life – Pink Floyd

David Jon Gilmour is great!

This song, the opening to my favorite Pink Floyd album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a mysterious yet soothing instrumental piece. Gilmour is great with guitar as usual. The album has a background voice by Nick Mason, faint and almost negligible though.

If Wikipedia article is correct, the person rowing the boat through River Cam, Grantchester is Langley Iddens, caretaker of Gilmour’s houseboat studio Astoria. (Wow, already feel like owning one myself, sometime.)

Great one, my personal rating 8.5/10.

When the child like view of the world went, nothing replaced it… Nothing replaced it… Nothing replaced it…
I do not like being asked to… I do not like being asked to… I do not like being asked to…

Other people replaced it,
Someone who knows.

Woodstock, its been 40 years

I heard about it only when I grew up, but, a long time has passed since those three dirty, sunny, music-soaked (and weed?) days in the town of Woodstock, Bethel, N.Y.

It was formally called Woodstock Music & Art Fair. I will list down my influences and try to look around how much Woodstock festival has affected music, fashion and youth culture (ahem, mostly American).

Detailed post due.

Daag – Dilip Kumar

I have a very faint and fleeting memories of this song, my father used to humm in one of those fine mornings while getting ready for work.

Talat Mehmood has given his mellow and famously trembling voice to legendary Dilip Kumar (aka Yusuf Khan) in the 1952 romantic classic called Daag (Film by Amiya Chakrabarty).
