Did a listen..

Burning Bridges it is.




I love the Mudmen one, but I had never really noticed Burning Bridges to be so very similar (nor have I heard it nearly as often). I guess I'll have to give that song another check.

"Free Four." That was the obvious radio tune, the one my local station used to play back in the day.

TBH it's not really Waters' best lyric.

This theme must have been on his mind at the time though, because he revisited it, this time with poignancy, on Breathe / Time.

These days, 'Wots... uh, the Deal' for me.

There was a period there, in the very late 60's and early 70's, where Floyd sometimes had a folky, atmospheric, sometimes slightly psychadelic vibe which I really like ('Julia Dream', 'Grantchester Meadows', 'A Pillow of Winds', 'Wot's...', OTTOMH. There may be others I'm forgetting.)
