If…

Then.

Tribute.

December 13

Originally this song is being supposed as tribute, but I cannot name this piece as a song, it is master piece. Classic. Like many other things from this band.

Lyrics,


Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the
Steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend,
You martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the
Steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper,
You prisoner, and shine!

But lyrics, lyrics is just a part (just a smaaal part). When song starts and continues, the one thought comes in mind, “fantastic !!! music is fantastic!!!  waiting for lyrics, let’s hope they will not disturb music harmony”.

Because music is great. But it is not easy to notice when it starts “Remember when you were young..”.  Great peace, how could people create things like that ? That’s a question, I’ve used to ask different times, when I listen Pink Floyd music.

Ok, to be more precise, it is about concert versions (Pulse or The Delicate Sound of Thunder). Originally, song is from “Wish you were here” album, title of the album is also a tribute. Tribute to Syd Barrett (founder or co-founder of the band). I prefer Gilmour Waters Wright art more (it is closest to me). Pink Floyd music is great and Barrett is a part of it. Part of band that created diverse and deep music, that should stay for ages.

One negative thing, there were no any opportunity to visit their concerts in Golden years. So, DVD’s and other videos are alive.

The way to Helsinki ?

Yesterday topic continues.

November 8

Surprisingly, today I found one person, who is ready to come to follow Iron Maiden Nordic tour (in case ticket price will not be extremely high).

As well, today I have conversation with one colleague (I have offered him to join us), he had counter offer to join him on Wacken Open Air event, this band supposed to be there too. I have rejected this offer, I’m too old for this :)

Seriosly, as Maiden is one of the headliner, they will be at the end of the day. He said: “If you wake up early in the mu could get the opportunity to stand on the first rows”. Like this, (Metallica concert first rows in Tallinn 2006).
MetallicaAs probably somehow it is possible to stand 2 hours there, but not all the day long.

Colleague said: “I was at the first row 12 hours at one festival”. How it is possible for normal people, I have no idea. As even 5 hours is not too comfortable deal in the middle of 80000 crowd during “Metallica“, “Bullet for My Valentine” performance.

I think that single concert is better option. At the end lyrics about old rock-n-roller (in Russian).
