I made this in 1990 for a band I knew. It is captured from VHS so the quality is not great…

Heather and I let the time lapse go on the camera pointed at the sky. Watching the clouds form and move is extremely relaxing. Heather said that I should use a pretty song over the top of it. This Pink Floyd songs is one of my favorites and its one I don’t think a lot of people know. This video is more about watching the clouds, so you can turn down the music i put there and play whatever you want. Enjoy this 7+ minutes of time lapse clouds….

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….

Absolutely Curtains” is a mostly instrumental track which closes Pink Floyd’s 1972 album Obscured by Clouds. The last part of the track is a chant by the Magupa tribe, recorded for La Vallée, the film to which Obscured by Clouds is the soundtrack. Personnel -Richard Wright – Farfisa and Hammond Organ, Piano, Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Synthesiser -Nick Mason – Percussion and Cymbals -Magupa tribe – Vocalisations…

Sorry – did this before I had a tripod so really close up An Eminor figures prominently…

“Free Four” is a Pink Floyd song written and sung by Roger Waters, from the album Obscured by Clouds. The song begins with a rock and roll count-in; but in this case Pink Floyd decided to play with words and record, “One, Two, FREE FOUR!”. The song deals with themes that would become standard for Waters in albums following this, notably his father’s death and the “evils” of the record industry. Although the song is mellow during the lyrical portions, the guitar solo surprisingly launches into a heavier tone, with a progression that is reminiscent of the instrumental “One of These Days”, capturing the classic Pink Floyd guitar sound. “Free Four” was released as a single in 1972 and reached FM radio’s top 50 list. A later Pink Floyd song lyric, 1983’s Not Now John, would re-use the “One, two, free four” phrase (but not as a count-in)….

“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 !!! =)…
