	I agree with Iano. I think it is about the decline and break-up of the band. The chorus is very reminiscient like Gilmour wishes for the good old days before he and Roger's differences tore the band apart. On a related note, I can see now why Gilmour didn't exactly get along with Waters. I mean, how would you feel if the principal song writer kept writing about how he wished the former guitar player was still around? I know I would be pretty miffed.

	This song is just fucking awesome!!!!

No Picture AHMED Wanna Be	#3 by AHMED at Oct 18, 1976 at 6:43 AM EST
	OF COURSE it uses bits of earlier Pink Floyd - because it's ABOUT Pink Floyd. What the hell is with all you Roger Waters freaks? God forbid the band carry on without him, right? Have you HEARD the shit he's shoveling out on his solo records? No one man is Pink Floyd. The songs don't cease to have meaning just because poor, tortured soul Waters decided he'd rather sing kumbayah to land mine victims in Serbia.

	It always reminded me of the X-men (I was big into comic books back then). I guess it's the part about magnets and miracles. Musically, it is one of my favorites. I can't believe it's been 10 years since they've had anything new. I guess Dave's been busy but... I WANT ANOTHER FLOYD ALBUM!

	The decline and break-up of Pink Floyd.

	'before time took our dreams away'

	Now that I've listened to the album more I think most of the songs on "The Division Bell" are about the band. If not directly then it can at least be very easily applied to the band.

	As you probably would have guessed, I'm a huge fan of Roger Waters solo work, but that's probably not an argument worth getting in to. Maybe I was a little harsh, but I just don't think that, as a lyricist, Polly Samson is in the same league as Roger Waters. Still, like I said, it's a good song.

No Picture Andres Wanna Be	#11 by Andres Hernandez at Sep 4, 2006 at 11:17 AM EST
	I'll add to what CB just said.. and what we expected out of it. "The grass was greener [in our imaginations]"

No Picture J Wanna Be	#12 by J kennedy at Dec 27, 2006 at 11:27 AM EST
	It's about trying hard to keep moving without being dragged down by the rest of the world. It applies to the band (note that the "Division Bell" sound effect can first be heard on "Fat Old Sun" from Atom Heart Mother) and the falling out between Roger Waters and David Gilmour is the burned bridge. One of the greatest guitar pieces Gilmour ever wrote, and the Pulse version has the brilliant addition of backup singers that somehow makes it even better.

No Picture Cam Wanna Be	#13 by Cam Reck at Mar 14, 2007 at 1:38 PM EST
	My favorite Floyd song.... I see it as a look back on how good and simple things used to be, and how your life never turned out quite the way you'd hoped it would.... But you still go on.
