Pink Floyd - "Fearless"

strangely, i first came across it via a Fish (of Marillion fame) cover!

i always felt that way about Fearless into San Tropez -- a HUGE one-two punch.

this track in particular gets me right in the gut. just wow.

the idea of San Tropez being the second in a HUGE one-two punch is one I can't quite process but chacun a son gout i guess

pourquoi, tu ne l'aimes pas??

fearless is ok but san tropez i find to be an inoffensive genre exercise/album filler, don't really understand how it could cause such a powerful response

ach i dunno maybe i have a heart of stone

oh geez they both always seemed like masterpieces to me. the end of san tropez and that piano makes me want to be in a far-away fantasy place. and fearless is just painfully gorgeous.

chacun a son gout

all of a sudden everyone's a scholar

that wasn't a response to you surmounter. i just thought it was funny that louis decided to use french for some reason.

meddle is awesome

haha louis sounds like a different man as of late, no?

he had some kind of intellectual rebirth

love this song, but don't get the appeal of san tropez.. or really anything else on meddle other than One of These Days.

Ummm.... Echoes?

echoes >>> ootd >>>>>>>>>> fearless >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else

nah actually "a pillow of winds" ain't that bad

i don't listen to this album any more, what say do i have

i actually like pillow of winds and seamus more than echos at this stage of my life. i'm just not ready to fully embrace the amazingness of echos yet. it's been a real grower for me.

whole first side of meddle is awesome, even "seamus." "echoes" is plodding and that interminable waters faux-funk solo is really irritating. floyd never really pulled off album-side-long songs as well as lots of their peers, yes especially

i never got into echoes. i appreciate it for what it is, but i just don't like it.

For me, Echoes is all about the Gilmour/Wright harmony singing and the part after the space/freakout section where it all comes rolling back and then transitions back into the verse part of the song.

I watched Live At Pompeii again recently, it's made me really want to listen to Meddle. I let the young friend who watched Pompeii with me borrow it, though.

which songs sounds (more or less) like Fearless?

I might just be thinking of Low because of their excellent cover of "Fearless" (mentioned upthread), but many of their songs have a similar tempo and sound: "Medicine Magazines," "Two-Step," "Over the Ocean," "Venus," &c.

Awww, peeps dissing "A Pillow Of Winds" above?? For shame. I've always had a great love for pastoral Floyd - that song in particular - and dig Meddle in general. Underrated.

Gorillaz has a song on their first album with football chants too. It was the best one in there too! Other than that it doesn't sound like fearless.

Maybe something by THE neil young?
