Pink Floyd - Sorrow (2011 - Remaster)

Sorrow - 2011 Remaster
Album: A momentary lapse of reason (1987)
Lyrics:
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, river roll
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words,
Of promises broken

Without any exaggeration, they are the greatest musicians in the world....

[@OldGrumpyDude]

As a kid, my father introduced me to Pink Floyd at a very young age. Among some of the songs I played at my fathers funeral, (all Pink Floyd btw), this one had the room sobbing. R.I.P. Pops.

[@Tilstrom]

This track is the reason I began investing in high quality audio equipment. Masterpiece that never gets old.

[@Iron-Black-Sabbath-Maiden]

sorrow is easily to me pink floyds most underrated song.

[@PitchSkullBlack]

+Juda packer Martinez couldn't agree more although Louder than Words is another really close contender.

[@KilgoreOnDrugs]

+Juda packers 41287 Completely agree. The solo pieces goes right in the feels!

[@PitchSkullBlack]

I would actually say in terms of underrated floyd, all three of their final albums are under rated.

[@PitchSkullBlack]

Most of their modern work is fantastic. The Final Cut can just piss off for me, but Momentary, Division and Endless were all brilliant albums.

[@omkarCHALKE1992]

Gilmour is an absolute Musical Genius

[@micjoseph6250]

SAM CASINO Roger Waters is the genius

[@micjoseph6250]

Without Roger this band never goes anywhere

[@quicksilver6663]

I beg to differ. They were both genii in their own rights. David Gilmour was the one who expanded your mind and sent you reeling into the world of psychedelia. Roger Waters took you down the path of politics, and reality. Surreal versus the real. It depends on where you want to let your mind wander.

[@samuelpardana]

roger was also a genius, but don’t forget that he wasn’t in the division bell, one of the best floyd albums.

[@jasengroves5981]

Roger Waters isn't on this song in any way shape or form and it's still superior to anything Floyd did with him. Waters can suck an egg.

[@jdanathema]

+karen williams I started with Pulse!

[@yuvrajkhalaik2780]

I remember the first time I heard this song, when i just played it randomly from my dad's album collection. I was 11 at that time, i felt a strange bliss while hearing it and I somewhat got hooked to pink floyd. I coudn't understand what they actually meant by the lyrics of this song and asked my father what they actually meant. He said, "this music is for smart people son,when and if you're smart enough,you'll understand by yourself."Thanks dad.

[@mrHubris]

One world, one soul Time pass, river roll

[@jeffreyschnoldt5388]

Gillmores guitar is hauntingly great, this is such a great tune..we are all lucky to have lived when pink Floyd was here cutting through the darkness with such great inspired music, that will last a eternity

[@theodounis272]

best band of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! need I say more

[@jollycooperator2876]

I'm 28 years old and I remember listening to Pink Floyd as well as so many others growing up. My favorite music is between late 70s to early 90s with 80s being my favorite but God I love Pink Floyd.. they re-invented themselves many times and changed and adjusted with the times.. Some might disagree but my favorite album is probably division bell omg it's beyond art work.. I sit here traveling on I-35 with my dad in our semi truck hauling fracking sand jamming out to this song Lol!!

[@ivanbailon7161]

It's simple... A masterpiece.

[@stevendavies417]

David Gilmour's Guitar work is by far the best I've ever heard. I love when they perform this in Pulse, David's always one with all his guitars. Nobody shreds like that, stopping you to rethink your entire life and what the hell happened. Always pushing the boundaries of music, I will never stop loving Pink Floyd's music. Number one Pink Floyd fan here. Retired Psychedelic Astronaut from the land of Ebonia.

[@AbhishekJoshi]

Most poetic but quite an underrated Pink Floyd song. Lyrics and guitar solo are heart wrenching. Can you relate? #PinkFloyd

[@joepapa71]

My favorite pink floyd song. Never even heard this album for the longest time.

[@AbhishekJoshi]

Nomad x mine as well. It relates.

[@benscheidegger122]

+Abhishek Joshi I actually relate to this song emotionally. Like the lyrics fit my life. i own the album. i believe this whole album was mainly a david gilmour solo album. He wrote all if not most of the lyrics. It really shows his talent. Richard wright was mainly just a filler, along with nick mason. Not saying they are not talented themselves, but just didnt contribute nearly enough as david did.

[@AbhishekJoshi]

deakon Dextre​ I know what you mean. We all have something in our bags. The lyrics fit my life, too.

[@asphaalanx]

+deakon Dextre While I don't necessarily disagree, varying circumstances for both of them meant that Rick and Nick could hardly contribute as much as they'd probably have liked. You may have heard that somewhat recently (before The Endless River) a remixed/remastered version of AMLOR was in the works. It was planned to feature newly recorded drums from Nick, as well as, keyboard parts from Rick (sourced from live recordings of the period). Would be/have been an interesting contrast as this version would have removed a lot of the 80s sound as well making it sound more Floydian.

[@jumboJetPilot]

Absolutely epic. I always thought this song to be about manic depression (bipolar disorder), such as that of Syd Barret, and being trapped in one’s own dark world. My sister liked the Floyd only so/so but she didn’t really know their sound. One morning she and I were on our way to our uncle’s funeral after he died quite young. As she sat in my car, and I proceeded to remove all the snow off of it for several minutes, my Audi randomly pulled this song off of my phone and played it for her. After I got into my car I found my sister in a complete transatonic state as Sorrow neared its end. She was absolutely mesmerized by this song. And she wouldn’t snap out of it for several minutes after Sorrow ended. We never said a word about it; we didn’t have to. I know just by her reaction that she thought this was the greatest piece of musical instrumentation her ears had ever heard. What a way to properly introduce someone to Pink Floyd! She’s been a huge fan ever since.

[@ericulric223]

The only thing it needs is a little feedback from the amps and it's perfect.

[@tonykennedy8483]

He recorded the song on a Steinberger Strat into a Big Muff pedal played into a little 18w Fender Super Champ, they then played the guitar part through the quad PA at the LA Forum to get the huge reverb

[@nyboriqua721]

No matter where I go I wind up back at the best. Pink Floyd. Since I first heard them on a cassette player while on board the USS Kitty Hawk CV 63 headed for Hawaii in 73. Panasonic with one speaker. They reached out and touched my mind and soul.

Sheryl Moore Indeed. Some day, I want to take a bunch of CDs of today's music and burn them while blasting great music like Pink Floyd and Rush.

Wow ! it's amazing when I read that someone is listening to this song ( or any other ), for the first time. I first listened to it in '87, when the album was released. I bought it for "On the turning away" and then I found the rest of the album and loved every song there, every little sound, every silence. In that moment I relized that Pink Floyd was my favorite band. I was 13 in that time and I listen to some Pink Floyd's track almost every day since then.
