Obscured by Clouds Burning Bridges Ponti In Fiamme Bridges burning gladly, melting with the shadow Ponti ardono allegri, si fondono con l'ombra Flickering between the lines Tremolano tra le rive Stolen mormons floating softly on the air Mormoni rubati fluttuano morbidi in aria Gone on wings of fire and climbing higher Salgono su ali di fuoco, sempre più in alto Ancient bulbs are breaking, leaving all and changing sides Lampade antiche spezzate svanite cambiano posto Dreaming of a new day, cast aside the other way Sogna un nuovo giorno, abbandona l'altra strada Magic vision, staring, kindled by the burning flames Visione magica, occhi fissi, evocata da lingue di fuoco Lies in her eyes Le giace nello sguardo The door it stands ajar La porta resta socchiusa It was, it once was high beyond the guilded cage Era alta un tempo oltre la gabbia dorata Beyond the reach of time, the moment is at hand Oltre i limiti del tempo, è il momento e lei She breaks the golden band Rompe la banda d'oro The gold it's in the... L'oro è nel... Come on my friends, let's make for the hills Avanti amici, andiamo sulle colline They say there's gold and I'm looking for thrills dicono che c'è oro e io cerco avventure You can get your hands on whatever we find Potete arraffare tutto quanto troviamo 'Cause I've only come along for the ride Perchè io vengo soltanto per viaggiare Well you go your way and I'll go mine Andate dalla vostra parte, io per la mia I don't care if we get there on time Non m'interessa arrivare in tempo Everybody's searching for something, they say Ognuno cerca qualche cosa, dicono I'll get my kicks on the way Mi divertirò per strada Over the mountains, across the sea Sui monti, attraverso il mare Who knows what may be waiting for me Chissà che mi attende I could sail forever to strange sounding names Potrei navigare in eterno verso nomi dal suono strano Faces of people and places don't change Volti e luoghi non cambiano All I have to do is just close my eyes Non ho che da chiudere gli occhi To see the seagulls wheeling in the far distant skies Per vedere gabbiani che vorticano in cieli lontani All I wanna tell you, all I wanna say Voglio dire soltanto: contate pure Is count me in on the journey, don't expect me to stay Su me per il viaggio, non crediate che resti Wot's... Uh The Deal Che Cosa?... Ah, Il Patto Heaven sent the promised land Il Cielo ha mandato la terra promessa Looks alright from where I stand Sembra una buona cosa, da qui 'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Perchè sono l'uomo che osserva da fuori Waiting on the first step Aspettando che la prima traccia Show me where the key is kept Mi mostri dov'è custodita la chiave Point me down the right line 'cause it's time Indicatemi la via giusta, perchè è l'ora To let me in from the cold Per lasciarmi entrare dal freddo Turn my lead into gold Trasforma il mio piombo in oro 'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul Un vento gelido mi soffia nell'anima And I think I'm growing old E credo di diventare vecchio Flash... the red is... wot's... uh the deal Lampi... il rosso è... che cosa? ... ah, il patto Got to make it to the next meal Devi farlo fino al prossimo pasto Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel Resta in pari con il giro della ruota Mile after mile, stone after stone Miglio dopo miglio, pietra dopo pietra You turn to speak but you're alone Tu ti volti per parlare ma sei solo Million miles from home you're on your own Mille miglia lontano da casa tutto solo To let me in from the cold Per lasciarmi entrare dal freddo Turn my lead into gold Trasforma il mio piombo in oro 'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul Un vento gelido mi soffia nell'anima And I think I'm growing old E credo di diventare vecchio Fly kite by candle light Lancio aquiloni a lume di candela With her by my side Con lei al mio fianco Wish she prefers we never stir again Ah, se preferisse non correre più Someone sent the promised land Qualcuno ha mandato la terra promessa Well I grabbed it with both hands Io l'ho afferrata con tutt'e due le mani Now I'm the man on the inside looking out Ora sono l'uomo che da dentro guarda fuori Hear me shout, come on in Senti il mio grido, vieni dentro What's the news, where you've been Che novità? Dove sei stato? 'Cause there's no wind left in my soul Perchè non ho più vento nell'anima And I've grown old E sono vecchio Childhood's End Termine Dell'Infanzia You shout in your sleep Gridi nel sonno That's the price, it's just too steep Questo è il prezzo! E troppo alto Is your conscience at rest Coscienza a riposo It was put to the test Messa alla prova You awake with a start Ti svegli d'un colpo Just the beating of your heart Solo il battito del tuo cuore Just one man beneath the sky Solo un uomo sotto il cielo Just two ears, just two eyes Solo due orecchie, due soli occhi You said, sail across the sea Hai detto, navigate il mare Long past thoughts and memories Lontani da pensieri e ricordi Childhood's end: your fantasies Fine dell'infanzia: le tue fantasie Merging harsh realities Si mescolano all'aspra realtà And then as the sail is hoist E quando la vela è alzata You'll find your eyes are growing moist Sentirai gli occhi bagnarsi di lacrime And all the fears never voiced E tutte la paure mai espresse Say you have to make the final choice T'imporranno la scelta finale Who are you and who am I Chi sei tu e chi sono io To say we know the reason why Per dire che sappiamo perchè Some are born, some men die C'è chi nasce, c'è chi muore Beneath one infinite sky Sotto l'infinità del cielo? There'll be war and there'll be peace Ci sarà guerra e ci sarà pace But anything one day will cease Ma tutto finirà un giorno All the iron turn to rust Tutto il ferro sarà arruginito All the proud men turn to dust Tutti i superbi finiranno in polvere So all things time will mend Così il tempo aggiusterà tutte le cose So this song will end Così terminerà questa canzone Free Four Quattro Liberi The memories of a man in is old age I ricordi d'un uomo nella vecchiaia Are the deeds of a man in his prime Sono le sue imprese in gioventù You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room Ti trascini triste nella stanza di malato And talk to yourself as you die E parli tra te e te, mentre muori Life is a short warm moment La vità breve, tiepido attimo And death is a long cold rest E la morte è un lungo, freddo riposo You get the chance to try in the twinkling of an eye Le tue possibilità stanno in un battito di ciglia Eighty years with luck or even less Ottant'anni di fortuna o anche meno So all aboard for the American tour Così, tutti a bordo per la tournee in America And maybe you'll make it to the top E forse arriverai al successo But mind how you go, and I can tell you 'cause I know Ma guarda cosa fai, posso dirtelo perchè lo so You may find it hard to get off Potresti scoprire ch'è difficile uscirne But you are the angel of death Ma tu sei l'angelo della morte And I am the dead man's son E io sono il figlio del morto He was buried like a mole in a fox-hole Lui fu sepolto come una talpa in trincea And everyone's still on the run E tutti stanno ancora correndo And who is the master of foxhounds? E chi guida la caccia alla volpe? And who says the hunt is begun? E chi dice che la caccia è cominciata? And who calls the tune in the court-room? E chi decide le regole in tribunale? And who beats the funeral drum? E chi batte la marcia funebre al tamburo? Stay Resta Stay and help me to end the day Resta e aiutami a terminare la giornata And if you don't mind, we'll break a bottle of wine E se sei d'accordo stapperemo una bottiglia di vino Stick around and maybe we'll get one down Stai qui da qualche parte, forse la vuoteremo 'Cause I want to find what lies behind those eyes Perchè voglio scoprire che c'è dietro quegli occhi... Midnight blue, burning gold Blu mezzanotte, oro infuocato A yellow moon is growing cold Una gialla luna giganteggia fredda I rise, looking through my morning eyes Mi alzo, guardo con gli occhi del mattino Surprised to find you by my side Sorpreso di vederti al mio fianco Light my brain, don't try to remember your name M'illumino la mente, non cerco di ricordare il tuo nome To find the words to tell you goodbye Per trovare il modo di dirti addio Morning dews, newborn day Rugiada mattutina, giorno rinato Midnight blue turned to grey Blu mezzanotte virato in grigio Midnight blue, burning gold Blu mezzanotte, oro infuocato A yellow moon is growing cold Una luna gialla troneggia fredda .

    Cirrus Minor Good afternoon. My name is Björgvin Rúnar Leifsson and this is an episode about Pink Floyd. In 1969, Pink Floyd released two albums. The first one was released in July and the name varied a bit by publications. Mine is called “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack More "but most people simply call this album" More ". As the long name implies, this is a film soundtrack album, the first of two, that Pink Floyd released and contained only songs by themselves. The other was "Obscured by Clouds", which was released in 1972 and which we'll learn about later. Pink Floyd actually composed songs for other films. The first was "The Committee" in 1968, to say the least a bizarre film by director Peter Sykes with almost as weird compositions by Pink Floyd along with the song "Nightmare" by Arthur Brown. The music for the film was never released on an album but the film was released on a DVD about 15 years ago which I own of course. Another film with songs by Pink Floyd was Zabriskie Point in 1970, from which we will hear an excerpt in the next episode. And let's not forget "Tonight Let's All Make Love in London" in 1967, which we heard about in the first episode, and Live at Pompeii in 1972, which shows PF holding a concert for themselves in an empty amphitheater from the time of the Roman Empire in the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy. Last but not least is the 1982 Alan Parker film The Wall based on the famous album since 1979.

    Obscured by Clouds When You're in Good afternoon. My name is Björgvin Rúnar Leifsson and this is an episode about Pink Floyd. Although a certain foundation for "Dark Side of the Moon" had already been laid out in early 1972, it still took the band most of the year to develop the music and, among other things, test it on the audience at several concerts during that year. One of the reasons why Dark Side took so long to emerge is because they suffered some distractions as Mason puts it in his book. To start with the latter, the film "Live at Pompei" about the eponymous, Pink Floyd's spectator-free concert in the ancient city of Pompeii was released in November 1972, although the concert had taken place more than a year earlier. Then, in early 1972 they took some time to record film music for another film by Barbet Schroeder, the same person who made More in 1969. The film is called La Vallee and is about a woman who goes on a strange self-guided tour in Papua New Guinea's jungles and among other things, meets the Mapuga tribe, who are propably the most isolated people on earth. The film was released on July 11, 1972, just over a month after the release of the album and got the subtitle "Obscured by Clouds" which was the name that Pink Floyd decided to give the album after a heated argument with the film company. All the music on Obscured by Clouds was composed and recorded over several days in February and March 1972.

  • The Aesthetics of Intoxication in Antebellum American Art and Culture
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE AESTHETICS OF INTOXICATION IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICAN ART AND CULTURE. Guy Duane Jordan, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Professor Sally M. Promey, Art History and Archaeology My dissertation, The Aesthetics of Intoxication in Antebellum American Art and Culture, proposes an ambitious re-evaluation of aesthetics in the United States between 1830 and 1860 that locates the consumption of images in relation to discourses of excess, addiction, and dependency. I uncover the antebellum period’s physiological construction of looking as a somatic process akin to eating and drinking and offer a new definition of aesthetic absorption not merely as the disembodied projection of the viewer into a pictorial space, but as the corporeal ingestion of the image into the mind of the viewing subject. I demonstrate how this heretofore unstudied and historically-grounded alignment of aesthesis and alimentation played a crucial role in the production and reception of antebellum literature and visual culture. To this end, my dissertation stands as a broad-ranging cultural history that features fundamental reinterpretations of major works of art by Charles Deas, Thomas Cole, Hiram Powers, and Frederic Church.

  • Obscured by Clouds (Vinyl-Reissue)
    Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds (Vinyl-Reissue) (40:24, LP, Pink Floyd Records/Warner, 1972/2016) „Obscured By Clouds“, das im Juni 1972 erstmals veröffentlicht wurde, dürfte das am wenigsten beachtete Album in der Diskographie von Pink Floyd sein. Nach „More“ war es die zweite Soundtrack-Arbeit der Band, zuvor hatte sie mit „Atom Heart Mother“ und „Meddle“ zwei frühe Meilensteine veröffentlicht. Im Vergleich dazu klingt „Obscured By Clouds“, das in zwei kurzen Studio-Sessions im Frühjahr 1972 geschrieben und aufgenommen wurde, schlicht. Experimente und floyd’scher Pioniergeist finden auf diesem Werk nicht statt, kurze Instrumentals und einfache Songformate bilden die Grundlage für dieses Album. Das von Roger Waters gesungene ‚Free Four‘ wurde in einigen Ländern als Single veröffentlicht. Der Song hat eine starke, möglicherweise sogar beabsichtigte Ähnlichkeit mit ‚Spirit In The Sky‚ von Norman Greenbaum und klingt abgesehen von Waters‘ markanter Stimme völlig untypisch für Pink Floyd. ‚Burning Bridges‘ hingegen ist eine recht typischeDavid- Gilmour-Ballade, die dessen Beiträgen auf zuvor veröffentlichten Alben ähnelt. Den Instrumentals hört man ihre kurze Entstehungszeit, aber auch eine gewisse Spontanität an. In gewisser Weise zeigt „Obcured By Clouds“ letztmals eine Seite der Band, die man fortan nicht mehr hören sollte, schließlich begann mit dem nachfolgenden „The Dark Side Of The Moon“ eine gänzlich andere Ära. Die vorliegende Vinyl-Wiederveröffentlichung bringt dieses Werk klanglich auf einen ähnlichen Standard wie die gleichzeitig wiederveröffentlichten Alben „Atom Heart Mother“ und „Meddle“. Das Cover ist ebenfalls wieder der Erstveröffentlichung nachempfunden und weist die auffällig abgerundeten Ecken auf. Letztlich ist „Obscured By Clouds“ ein Album für Sammler und Komplettisten, oder eben für Leute die jeden Entwicklungsschritt der Band nachvollziehen möchten.

    ALEXANDRE HIGOUNET PINK FLOYD WHICH ONE’S PINK? ALEXANDRE HIGOUNET PINK FLOYD PINK WHICH ONE’S PINK? LE MOT ET LE RESTE ALEXANDRE HIGOUNET PINK FLOYD which one’s pink? le mot et le reste 2018 INTRODUCTION Si son succès planétaire s’est d’abord bâti sur des chansons comme « Money » ou « Another Brick In The Wall part 2 », Pink Floyd, dans l’imaginaire du grand public, est avant tout un groupe « spatial ». Ce n’est pas sans justification. Du psychédé- lisme pop de The Piper At The Gate Of Dawn à l’instru mental The Endless River, la musique du Floyd a régulièrement pris de la hauteur et laissé de l’espace… au temps 1. Dans le numéro de Disc And Music Echo en date du 22 novembre 1969, David 1. Petit rappel historique. En 1966-1967, Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett, guitare chant ; Roger Waters, basse chant ; Rick Wright, claviers chant ; Nick Mason, batterie) rencontre une première phase de succès dans l’under- ground londonien, grâce aux compositions de Syd Barrett, remplacé par David Gilmour (guitare chant) début 1968 du fait de problèmes mentaux, après une tentative avortée d’un mois en formation à cinq. Dans sa forma- tion Waters-Gilmour-Wright-Mason, Pink Floyd devient un groupe plané- taire grâce à Dark Side Of The Moon en 1973. Roger Waters augmente son emprise sur le quatuor au point d’en devenir le leader absolu à la fin des années soixante-dix. Il décide de quitter le groupe en 1985 pensant déclarer son arrêt de mort. Pas pour David Gilmour, qui remet Pink Floyd en marche de 1986 à 1994 avec Nick Mason et Rick Wright, avec deux albums à la clé.
