	Gilmour describes the transition from the carefree days of youth (growing up in Cambridge) to the burden of responsibilities that comes on in adulthood. This was especially poignant as a band member committed to heavy touring schedules that they all were committed to as this time. That sense of longing for childhood innocence had been a favorite Roger Waters recurring theme (Grandchester Meadows, and Embryo, which represents the ultimate regression of innocent reflection.) Consider the parallels in the lines of the two lyricists that touch on daydreaming about those idylic magic days of innocent youth: RW: "...bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room" DG: "The silver sound from a time so strange... Sing to me...Sing to me..." To escape the drudgery and burden of adult life, if only for a momentary daydream. Raising children of your own allows reliving this experience from a different perspective, the words perhaps conjuring up different feelings, but just as relevant to the changes one experiences in life's journey.
