On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd - Remaster 2011 (05)

[roberttomaino]

Pink Floyd is what a dark room, a comfy couch, a good set of headphones and an open mind were made for.

My dad played this album every night for me and my sister when we were young, Always seems to bring a tear to my eye now. RIP Dad. Thank you

David Gilmour's most meaningful song, a clear message to humanity

[kevinlyons]

The combination of Gilmour's guitar and Rick Wright's keyboards is something I could listen to forever.

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away


It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud


On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night


No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

The later albums squeeze the heart of Floyd, dripping in beauty.

One of the best songs ever write, a direct message, a clear hope, love it. will be forever in our hearts

[cliffherren]

Pink Floyd never put out any songs I didn't like. Their songs will live on throughout time.

[UnforgivN]

I've seen this LP in my dads collection for around 30 years now, finally decided to listen this... and just wow! Mind blowing!

[Amenching]

Most beautiful...especially the guitar play

[PunchDrunkLizzy]

Best song on the album. Always gives me goosebumps.

[drogowrefire]

This, along with some other Pink Floyd songs, needs to be played at my funeral.

[brettardo]

THE BEST Global call for Awareness- through Music, I have ever heard. It's a damn shame, our decision makers don't listen to this song. Why they wouldn't? It's from Pink Floyd- This song is absolutely brilliant!
I will contact my representatives, and senators-, and ask that they listen and integrate. I already know it'll go NOWHERE. That's the problem people-

[Fensta]

One of Gilmour's best solo's for sure

[joea]

My wife God bless her is a CW. fan but she loves this song.

[kevingill]

Another classic from Pink Floyd! the worlds greatest band.

[charlesbohman]

oh how that "paper smidbits" really opened a whole new channel to my soul. Done with that now that Im older but Pink Floyd is just, HAUNTINGLY, UNDISCRIBABLY,

[pasqualebarbaro]

When i listen this song I'm in the state of bliss.

[setphaser]
