Lyrics to Echoes, by Pink Floyd (1971)
I choose this song as one exemplary of Existentialism in lyrics or poetRy. My appellate empathic struggled through the morass of anti-War and/or anti-NucleaRism. I had to settle upon the word “AlbatRoss” pRimarily because of my many oceanic tRavel-tRavails. There were many different recordings of their disharmonic and lyrical-pRouncements in songs/ cuts, from albums, but! Being one of the first in Colorado Springs to underscore the values of Pink Floyd in, fall 1966. My album was a turn-on to neighbors who may have had study times I had admonished and thus inquired. Do you folks do that much today? There was also, a song by my san fRan favorite (The Fool) by Quicksilver Messenger Service. The song “AlbatRoss” was my favorite form Fleetwood Mac, first heard live in Aurora IL as I was resting from hiking: Indiana to Illinois (1977) w the Ecology gRoup. Yes, Existentialist enumerist and non-Stoic embRace on words/wordages as well as in non: repetitious-Boredom.
Echoes
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
