Day 199: On the turning away, Pink Floyd

So last week I posted a song from Pink Floyd’s album a momentary lapse of reason called learning to fly. This song is from the same album which was published after Roger Waters left the band. I was very fortunate to see Pink Floyd just after this album was released and it was definitely one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The lighting show was truly out of this world. This particular song not only supports a lovely tune but attempts to appeal to our better natures as we witness the immense suffering of the millions in this world who are not as fortunate as ourselves.
