Quotes
You shout in your sleep. <br /> Perhaps the price is just too steep. <br /> Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test? <br /> You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart. <br /> Just one man beneath the sky, <br /> Just two ears, just two eyes.
David Gilmour, CC BY-SA 4.0
You find your eyes are growing moist. <br /> All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.
David Gilmour, CC BY-SA 4.0
Who are you and who am I <br> To say we know the reason why <br> Some are born, some men die, <br> Beneath one infinite sky? <br> There'll be war, there'll be peace, <br> But everything one day will cease, <br> All the iron turned to rust, <br> All the proud men turned to dust, <br> And so all things time will mend, <br> So this song will end.

Syd's story is a sad story romanticised by people who don't know anything about it. They've made it fashionable but it's just not that way.

My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around … I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.

Roger doesn't have the right at present to tell me what to do with my life, although he believes that he does. And he'll not ruin my career, although lately he's been trying to.
