Pink Floyd - Echoes (short version) lyrics

[PYSCOPOMP]

This was my chosen funeral song. But way too long for first timers. You solved that. Thanks. I shall be using this version.

[MadisonMoore-ejpt]

My favorite Pink Floyd song, it’s like I slip off to another world when I hear this.

[FireFlowerFarmstead]

I love the edit but to me the absolute best part of the song is the crescendo after the whale/crow/spooky part. It literally gives me chills.

[kirktheweatherman]

This song is the only reason how I learned about Pompeii. No school, no books, no words from anybody. Just from Pink Floyd in their “Live In Pompeii” film

[ariafarahinia]

An effective way to get my friends into the band. Thank u.

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday
You fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide

I just noticed the clock ticking in the background. That's so cool.

[tam-tam]

This is my first time hearing echoes and I got tears in my eyes it's so beautiful wtf

[florianabacki]

Pink Floyd are something extra-special in the Universe, everyone knows that.
But I want to say the picture with the "living" clock here is great!

[ВячеславРоманов-лв]

Умопомрачительная музыка, когда мне хреново, слушаю и вся эта суета сует - уходит, более того она позитивно настраивает на преодоление всех трудностей.

[BlancaCunningham-sf]

Watching here an albatross while listening to this magic

[johnnyv.]

Short version more listenable. Great song!

What is this album cover from? I've never seen it before.

[markbarrett]

It's impossible to condense the majesty of this piece.

[dsantanaFr]

THaT CLOCK IN THE PICTURE IS COUTING THATS SO COOL WHAT

[brofistbro]

Did...did Pink Floyd have near death experiences or something???

These sound ETHEREAL!! like actually being in the plane between mortals and....other beings!

[Rockingoodman]

I've always heard it as "green, the submarine". A very Rodger lyric

[mikecummings]

Could've squeezed in the 3rd verse..🤔

[Danr]

Where’s the last verse? “Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes… “

[pablogonzalez]

The image would be a great live wallpaper, with the clock showing the time of day. Any links to the edited image? I know it's the Swim Slowly album cover but I like it with the Echoes and Pink Floyd text
