From the “Obscured by Clouds” LP. A song about death….

From the “obscured by clouds” lp. RIP Richard wright….

“Stay” is a song from Pink Floyd’s 1972 album Obscured by Clouds. It is known for being one of the album’s particularly slow-moving, lyrical songs. It was also issued as the B-side of “Free Four”. The lyrics, written by Roger Waters and sung by Richard Wright, vacillate between frustration and indifference felt towards a casual sex partner (perhaps a groupie). In this regard it is not unlike Wright’s own “Summer ’68″. Musically, the main theme and verse of the song stays on a pedal point of G in the bass, while the chords above it change in a typical I-IV-V progression (G, C, and D Major). The D Major over the G bass results in the appearance of a G Major ninth chord, evoking a “melancholy” or “bittersweet” feeling. The chorus modulates to the parallel minor, with a chord change of G minor to C Major, a common progression in Wright’s compositions. (See “Pow R. Toc H.”, the “Funky Dung” section of the “Atom Heart Mother Suite”, or “The Great Gig in the Sky”.) Because this chord change evokes a ii-VI progression left unfinished (it would have to resolve to F Major), the effect is appropriately dissatisfying, as the chorus delves into a profusion of barely-related chords, a convoluted but eventually successful attempt to resolve back to G Major. The instrumentation is mostly Wright’s piano and Waters’s bass, with a solo and other ornamental touches from guitarist David Gilmour making heavy use of clean Wah-wah pedal….

“Mudmen” is an instrumental track from Pink Floyd’s 1972 album Obscured by Clouds. The tune is similar to that of the third track on the same album ‘Burning Bridges’ but develops the themes and leitmotifs of the tune further, with the time signature changed from 6/8 to 4/4. It is the last piece credited to Wright/Gilmour until “Cluster One” from their 1994 album The Division Bell….

One of the best songs of Pink Floyd. No words to describe the quality of this song. For real. – Well, I decided to make my own bassline for this song. This is not the original bassline. It’s my view of the bass in it, but I tried not to leave the way and change the original song… In memory of Syd Barret and Richard Wright. Two genius of music ! ……And… With zipper wiiiiide opened !!! =)…

“The Gold It’s in the…” is a song from Pink Floyd’s 1972 album, Obscured by Clouds. It was recorded at Castle Hérouville near Pontoise, France in 1972. This is the fourth track on the album, which tells the story of a traveler looking for excitement, “They say there’s gold and I’m looking for thrills”. The song is noted for it’s “rock and roll” sound, rather than the progressive rock style that the band is known for. Line up: David Gilmour – Slide guitar and vocals Roger Waters – bass Nick Mason – percussion No contributions from Richard Wright….
