song I wrote and mixed with Rick and Bruce joined us on synths - have used samples of Kath vocals also for backing - I did the arrangement of which was totally inspired by a song from Pros and Cons (Waters).

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
Think back to when Bon Scott played his last gig with AC/DC (it’s actually this day 27.01) back in 1980 before he would succumb to an untimely death due to misadventure and remember how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools. Michael Keaton in a scene from 'Birdman' is here due to his brilliant acting abilities as well - his brilliant turn in Ron Howard's 'Night Shift' showed the world what they could expect from this gifted actor...we're all getting older with every day...we got memories but they fade just like pictures in an album so live for today and make that count as it's really the only thing anyone has...Coldplay is on in the background on our smart TV sound bar...when did the stereo disappear...it's 'the scientist' and man, that's a sad song...lol! ...both of me, one when the twin towers were still standing, NYC harbour and all of us doing the Beatles thang at THE abbey road in St John's Wood, London (I had to get a photo of me taken by my son crossing a la John Lennon style and then insert that into the photo I took of rest of fam as a: they didn't know how to make it look, lol and b: didn't have time to get a stranger to do it and line it up as I have done, lol! you've got to love the Beatles to make it look like the Beatles...a lot of folk just going thru the motions of 'being there' for no real actual reason...ha! how presumptive of me...but true...;) can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll...

Story behind the song
completely fascinated and obsessed with Rog's first solo Lp, 'pros and cons of hitchhiking' - I actually got into that prior to anything from Floyd...I was in school when all the classic 70's PF Lp's were released (dark side, wish, animals and wall) and even tho totally aware of the singles and tracks played relentlessly on FM104 from those Lp's (i.e. money, comfortably numb, have a cigar etc), I didn't own any of their vinyl....what the...?!! right! BUT then came 'pros and cons' and I became an instant Rog loon and started buying up all the back catalogue of PF and that was the start of a great relationship from that day on! Dig PF, Dig Rog and Dig Dave!
Lyrics
"and Eeyore said, the sun shines much brighter than ever before..." I'm floating away... Over continental divide What do I see now What do I know What do I want from this carnival show (All that I am, all that I am) ...but you see There's nothing left this time There's no one left this time Talk to me baby Understand what I say I can do what you want But who'll be the adult today? "and Eeyore said, the sun shines much brighter than ever before..." I'm floating away I'm floating... I just got nothing, nothing to say nothing to say talk to me baby understand what I say I can do what you want Who'll be the adult today...? Who's the adult today... "and with that Eeyore went back to snoring because snoring was what Eeyore loved..

Great piano opening catches your attention right away. Very dreamy fill. The blending of the two of you is working very nicely. Good work.
