Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

Love song?[edit]

I'm surprised this article refers to the song as a love song. I'd always heard that it was about sleep, not love. I always thought that the first part was about going to bed, then falling asleep, then the next part was about having a dream, then waking up. Am I right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pippin the Mercury (talk • contribs) 17:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Sleepy time / In my life / With my love / By my side / And she's breathing low" That's about as romantic as Roger Waters would ever get until The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking in 1985.

Yes, the song does seem to have a lot to do with sleep and dreams. But I still think it's fair to call it a love song. I think he's referring to the soporific effect of being with someone special, making love, and then feeling extremely content and peaceful for hours afterwards. But yeah, it's ambiguous, and I would say that's deliberate. If I may add an opinion, Waters didn't really hit his stride as a lyricist until he started getting very specific about things.

Chords[edit]

What source is referred to in the phrase "a chord named 'G#m/E'..."? It sounds as if some published songbook might be the source...but people need to realize that such songbooks do NOT come from the band but instead are someone's interpretations of the recording.

I will also note that, to an extent, the name of a chord is inherent in the chord. That is, if a recording sounds a G#, B, and D# above an E bass, it just IS an E major-7th chord. No source is needed. Those notes, in that combination, are what that chord IS.

Commercial songbooks are not authorities.

The recording is. Spanghew2fs (talk) 02:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
