| Wow, this song is really good! I've had the CD for a long time now, but I never really listened to this song until the end, because it's so long. A few weeks ago I did it though and I found out it was even better than I had thought. The part I like most is that wale-singing part! | |

| And that Wizard of Oz whole dealy, I think they denied that they did that, but there sooooooooooooooooooooo many coincidences, it's just scary if they haven't done it on purpose. That was before The Wall movie in 1982, when Roger got his wish to do a soundtrack, so they were probably waiting anxiously to do it. | |

| I think this song is about the ephemeral stopping of time and what happens during those few moments. Also, in the second verse, it is talking about locking eyes with someone and for that minute second, wanting to share everything you know about everything with them, but instead you just keep walking. This is one of Floyds most heaviest, trippiest songs, sounds like it should belong on DSoTM...it sorta sounds like some of the songs on that album. | |

| Has anyone watched this with the last segment of 2001 Space Odyssey! Awesome synch...this is probably my favourite Floyd song, it has everything....its beautiful, i get a buzz just listening to it. Remember that the whole universe is one, "I am you and what I see is me." Everytime you hurt something you hurt yourself...A lot of references to Buddhism | |

| wow, never thought of it like that, but i have to agree it does make sense, as far as DSOTM no, i think this song could never belong there, but it is a GREAT*GREAT way to end the quality album, Meddle. btw I love this too. | |

| Best Song Evere in my honest opinion, the lyrics are totally extraordinary and strangly hard to decipher. This is about a legendary land somewhere in the ocean (or perhaps it is about the entire earth before we humans developed our stucture of society?) where people are totally free and there is no oppression by others. You are woken only by the rising sun and are not bound to anyone or anything. No one lies or tries to decieve you, or hide anything from you. And the fact that this song is called Echoes tells me that this land does not actually exist any more, i.e. there remains only echoes of it. This song is quite like the book "The Beach" by Alex Garland. Both have the idea of a place without the worries of modern society, where you live a more free, but also very decedant way of life. The lyrics are incredibly beautiful, especially that verse with "a million bright ambassadors of morning". What a way to describe rays of light! And like IcedPachyderm I love that use of "green and submarine". I love the sing song voice of this, which is also shared by alot of the songs on the early to mid Pink Floyd albums. | |
