The sax solos in this song always make me think about Adult lisa playing the sax.


2. Another Day



Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you're searching for a silent
sky...

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So die another day

The coldness of this words
The message in his silence,
Face the candle to the
wind...
This distance in my voice
Isn't leaving you a choice
So if you're looking for a time
to run away...

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

They took pictures of our
dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it's right
for you, they'll fall
But if they don't come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

Here's "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, performed live. The lighting in this show is absolutely mind-blowing. An amazing song and an amazing show.

Edit: New link, YouTube deleted previous video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JWnapx502uQ

Hello, hello, hello...
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax, relax, relax...
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become... comfortably numb

Okay, okay, okay...
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more-- aaaaaaaaahhhh...
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?! (stand up, stand up)
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become... comfortably numb...

IF you want "Good" when it comes to Pink Floyd (in my mind) look to the album "Delicate sound of thunder." it is the live version of their songs, Like both "the wall" and "Pulse." On DSOT Go to "Us and Them" and "Wish you were here." both of these songs have a very good Sax in the background and they are just very good overall

I'll have to check that out. Most bands I prefer the studio version, but I have the studio version of "Comfortably Numb" and overall I think the live one is better.

This is a great song by John Lennon, called "Woman". Every time I hear it I think of Lisa (once again), and how much I love and need her. http://youtube.com/watch?v=A3deToKl_Dg&mode=related&search=

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman, I will try express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
oooh... well well
oooh... well well

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant they'll keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
oooh... well well
oooh... well well

Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah....

this one is the latest one to hit my fancy for my story. I have had this CD for almost 8 years and this song just suddenly hit me.
I give you: Vertical Horizon

We are

We are [Repeat] Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know... Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know...

'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know... 'Cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
And I am waiting for the light to come
You and I could get away now
Do you know... 'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am I just wasting time
For somebody else Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know 'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... And, I don't know how
I don't know where...
We are... I don't know why
I don't know if, if, if, if...
We are...
We are... We are

Another great song by Bob Dylan, "Things Have Changed". This man has written so much music it's not even funny!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=G0e4saINO_s
   
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed...

If I wrote a song for Lisa, this would be it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ynDVy9zFuq8

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but, boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue (they're blue Wink)
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world...

Two great songs by George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

"It Don't Come Easy" http://youtube.com/watch?v=eUbntU2N7xY
(This song was featured in the Simpsons episode "Brush With Greatness" which Ringo guest-starred in)

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Forget about the past and all your sorrows
The future won't last
It will soon be over tomorrow

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it just ain't easy

Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Please remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
(Written by George Harrison)

"This is Love" http://youtube.com/watch?v=9t55vISn4Ak

Precious words drift away from their meaning
And the sun melts the chill from our lives
Helping us all to remember what we came here for
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of everybody who don't understand
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

This is love, this is love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Oh, this is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love...
(Written by George Harrison)

I just finished reading FLWS, and while I read the part where Lisa was being taken to the hospital, and her last moments of consciousness, this song seemed like appropriate filler music. The lyrics and the tune seem so apart from this world, and the sax from 5:22 to 6:17 seems to be saying "Goodbye..."

Pink Floyd - Us and Them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round... and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside...

Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without...
And who'll deny it's what the fightings all about

Out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died...

again another masterpiece of Floyd. I love the live version of this song. It always reminds me of Lisa. I always imagine her playing the Sax for this song.

This song by George Harrison is quite different. At the time he wrote it, 1967, he was deeply involved and fascinated with Indian spirituality and music. He had been taking sitar lessons from Ravi Shankar, and decided to make an Indian composition of his own for the Sgt. Pepper's album. Hope you enjoy it.

"Within You Without You"  http://youtube.com/watch?v=L6kfPnNMGKA

We were talking
About the space between us all
And the people
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth...
Then it's far too late
When they pass away

We were talking
About the love we all could share
When we find it
To try our best to hold it there
With our love, with our love we could save the world
If they only knew...

Try to realize it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows within you and without you

We were talking
About the love that's gone so cold
And the people
Who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know... they can't see
Are you one of them

When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you...
