You might not like long songs, but I'm sure that you'll listen to this song over and over for years to come. The trick when listening to Pink Floyd's music is that you just need to not think about it and let it just happen!

@Psychedelic BluesMan I’ve never done drugs listening to Floyd. Shouldn’t have to.

I appreciate your reaction as an extreme Pink Floyd fan like I am. It’s not my Pink Floyd favorite album either but it’s part of who they are and how they developed their sound so you have to realize that this is just something that they had to go through and this was in a different time. Where experimental albums were allowed and nowadays the record industry is so tight something like this could never happen but it help these guys develop and become better later

The GREATEST Pink Floyd song of all! You've got plenty of years to absorb this song - just like all of us long time PF fans. Every song is a different experience - and this one tops the list! Even you will like it MUCH MORE in the coming years. That's what makes PF the legend that they are. They were innovators and pioneers long before they became just another rock band by the time of The Wall. Animals was their last GREAT album.

Yes, you're right, even if it became my masterpiece at the first time, and I listen to music all the time... Hundred and hundred times listening to that single and still have goose bumps... I have hundreds CDs and several kind of music at home, and it's definitely the best to me ❤️

It's about birth and emergence of order from chaos. Some Pink Floyd fans from the 60s love it more than any of their work, and without the chaos it would be nothing.

Nice 👍 great song! I use to walk home from work through the snow listening to this song. Whenever I hear the song that memory always comes back. :)

Hi Pete.

To me its life. Once life starts to be coherent and you think your life is in control, confusion sets in and then out of the chaos you'll always get back in tune. Life is so unpredictable, up and down yet without the chaos we wouldnt appreciate the beautiful parts.

My 9th grade history teacher burned me a copy of this album I am very thankful, it opened my ears to a lot of different sounds and possibilities of what music could even be.

I never really liked this when it came out; not because of the music itself (which we were used to as it was Floyd still in their psychedelic era), but because the recording of it sounded so dull, like they did it under a blanket. But the great (original) quad mix on "The Early Years" blu-ray has me listening to it again.

Don't feel bad, Dru. I'm actually surprised you sat through that. Even the band members themselves are not very fond of the song today. It worked in the 70's when music was much more experimental and 20 minute pieces were not at all unusual. But yeah, it kinda loses something in the 2000's. I feel the same way about Echoes on the Meddle album. Both songs could have cut out some of the synthesizer sound effects and easily been about 7-10 minutes shorter. Some quotes from the band. [Atom Heart Mother] was a good idea but it was dreadful. I listened to that album recently: God, it's shit, possibly our lowest point artistically. Atom Heart Mother sounds like we didn't have any idea between us, but we became much more prolific after it.- David Gilmour Atom Heart Mother is a good case, I think, for being thrown into the dustbin and never listened to by anyone ever again!... It was pretty kind of pompous, it wasn't really about anything.- Roger Waters

This is an anthem of the soul. On mushrooms hearing this song I witnessed generations upon generations of human struggle against life over death. Perseverance and will proving the spark of something greater than death. The fall into madness and the regain of sense and order. Ultimately leading to triumph and lasting silence.

This is not one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, have tried to get it to grow on me since it came out but it never has. Echos was their first "earlier" song I fell in love with after listening to it a couple of times.

Billy - I thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics - 'Silence in the studio.'

I believe we have to talk here about a word TRIPPING. What does it mean? Is it to have experience you can clearly and reasonably explain? Or is it about jumping on a wild journey and letting your mind take you where it wants, not where you tell it to go. This composition is another trip from PF, just a bit different to the rest of their repertoire. It's not a song for reaction videos, you shouldn't try to understand it (although that can be done). Instead you should lay down, perhaps late evening, lights off, eyes closed, your mind's eye wide open. LET IT create worlds you've never seen, and paint them in indescribable colours. It's the journey that matters. If you do not fancy another go at it, give it some time, let it sit at the back and return to it months or years deeper into your dive. It just may surprise you. That's true about many compositions other people may describe as great but which do not resonate with you. Sometimes even your current mood may change the way you perceive it.

I cannot listen to this track all the time I have to be in the right frame of mind wanting something different with no required end result from listening...

Try listening to this on shrooms goes into another level of music you never thought was possible This song is the epitome of physcadelic music for me .

Atom Heart Mother Parts 1, 2, 3 which in my opinion, should be listened to all at once, all together, is the best track on this album, I didn't care for the other songs, Atom Heart Mother is the best. That damn cow though, that cow really annoys me because of how random it is. Atom Heart Mother makes me feel like i'm floating in outer space or something, a photo of some galaxy or cluster of stars or somrthing would have suited the album cover a lot better.

You should definitely check out the rest of the album. Especially Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast :)

I rather like this album and this track. I wish I could interview myself after having heard it the first time in the 90s. That whole Klingon Opera bit in the middle is just bizarre. I think there is maybe a little bit too much incoherency/noodling around at times, but maybe that makes the bits where it all comes back together, stand out that much more.

The random stuff is on purpose The song is a fist waving at the sky Like some songs are sad feeling and some are happy feeling, the feeling this song targets its very complex and archetypal.

Love it or hate it, that's how they do in the year 1970. I don't think this was a true Pink Floyd piece, It was a collaboration with composer/ arranger Ron Geesin

If you hear it smoked, it's something else. I think it's made for that, like the Star Wars.

You must consider that the suite was composed in a transition period; then the band had no a clear way where they wanted to get to. Psychedelic influences and experimentation are still there but only from time to time they succeed in conveying a balanced sound, matching the classical opera with Rock. Anyway it Is NOT a bad piece: you must listen to it many times to appreciate

Wonderful, i love Pink Floyd gir ever

The band never really cared for this piece, they simply could not understand its popularity with fans. There are some really good songs on the album. For example, check out Fat Old Sun, but you might want to check out a live version of it just for Gilmour's closing guitar solo.

The song was written to be a background for a film. Unfortunately that film was only shown in the heads of the members of the band. The rest of us will just have to use our imaginations. Although that can be fun too. You can almost see the hero riding over the hill on his Harley when the main theme chimes in.
