Marooned – a sensory experience

Division Bell, Imagination, Marooned, Pink Floyd

Its one of those tracks…
that makes you close your eyes and sigh,
that makes you smile and let out a tear at the same time,
that releases particles of an untouched-waterfall freshness into the immediate air around you,
that makes you visualize a candle-lit lakeside rendezvous,
that can give that one moment of complete exaltation,
that brings back flashes of your long lost love before your eyes,
that fills your lungs with an immense calm which you feel like never breathing out,
that tickles your nerve and takes you to a new sphere of wilderness,
that lends a feeling of absolute peace that makes you never want to leave the insides of your car,
and that eventually leaves you in the middle of an ocean of conundrums.
That’s when you hear the division bell toll…

In The Flesh !

Warm night ahead us lay
With mystery in the air
‘Hey You’, I heard him say
Catching me unaware

Tasting music in a dose
Lulled vanity and strife
High Hopes within me rose
I was Coming Back To Life

In Freedom and through light
The lasers played their game
Flashing rainbows in the night
No! I was not insane

Rooted Comfortably Numb
Afore The Wall of sounds
I watched the maestro strum
As he rocked on Palace Grounds

On every thump of bass
A Pulse and then a swoon
Sending me on a chase
To The Dark Side Of The Moon

His weapons of mayhem
To whom we bowed and cried
But was it Us Or Them
Whose hearts were filled with pride?

Eight years in Time have passed
Since this mega display
But in me it’s Echoes last
Like it were yesterday
