song I wrote and mixed with Rick and Bruce joined us on synths - have used samples of Kath vocals also for backing - I did the arrangement of which was totally inspired by a song from Pros and Cons (Waters).

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
think back to when Gary Numan wrote and recorded 'Cars' in 1979 and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools... can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll..

Story behind the song
completely fascinated and obsessed with Rog's first solo Lp, 'pros and cons of hitchhiking' - I actually got into that prior to anything from Floyd...I was in school when all the classic 70's PF Lp's were released (dark side, wish, animals and wall) and even tho totally aware of the singles and tracks played relentlessly on FM104 from those Lp's (i.e. money, comfortably numb, have a cigar etc), I didn't own any of their vinyl....what the...?!! right! BUT then came 'pros and cons' and I became an instant Rog loon and started buying up all the back catalogue of PF and that was the start of a great relationship from that day on! Dig PF, Dig Rog and Dig Dave!
Lyrics
"and Eeyore said, the sun shines much brighter than ever before..." I'm floating away... Over continental divide What do I see now What do I know What do I want from this carnival show (All that I am, all that I am) ...but you see There's nothing left this time There's no one left this time Talk to me baby Understand what I say I can do what you want But who'll be the adult today? "and Eeyore said, the sun shines much brighter than ever before..." I'm floating away I'm floating... I just got nothing, nothing to say nothing to say talk to me baby understand what I say I can do what you want Who'll be the adult today...? Who's the adult today... "and with that Eeyore went back to snoring because snoring was what Eeyore loved..

Great piano opening catches your attention right away. Very dreamy fill. The blending of the two of you is working very nicely. Good work.
