I will always look out from behind these eyes

It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime

Pink Floyd A New Machine - Part II Comments
  1. B.... B....

    i both like and dislike this album

  2. E.... B....

    ................ A MUSICAL MASTERPIECE.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. m.... l....

    Subtitles!!??

  4. T.... F....

    Shit song, shit album.

  5. D.... T....

    The best suite on the album, almost sounds like it could have been written by Pink Floyd. Saxophones are awful tho' way too much sax. Best bass on the album. Best Guitar on the album. Ruined by production. 6/10

  6. r.... ....

    Imagine if Paul McCartney had posed for a photo with Ringo Starr, written George Harrison's name on the album liner, and released "Press to Play" as a Beatles album. That's kind of the measure of this album's authenticity as a Pink Floyd record - i.e. none. I don't blame Gilmour for doing it - it was business common sense - but this and its succeeding albums are simply not Pink Floyd albums.

    r.... ....

    So by your logic anything that Genesis released after Peter Gabriel left the band isn't Genesis?

  7. M.... ....

    We all must survive to live. We all get tired. But even then, we all will rest. That is all that's certain.

    Today, we must live. They make it seem almost unavoidably rational.



    Such skill at depicting the "inner space." Never has a band been able to put into words the unspeakable like Pink Floyd.

  8. P.... i....

    me: mom can i listen to welcome to the machine from wish you were here?
    mom: no we already have it at home
    at home:

  9. M.... R....

    In my opinion one of the best ever by Floyd...A New Machine is for me someone contemplating the most difficult questions of life..."Do you ever get tired of being in there"...."Don't worry, Nobody lives forever..." It could be interpreted literally as the New Machine getting old and dysfunctional, and looking back on its existence as having any meaning...or metaphorically, as a "human" machine, questioning the pillars of existence...senses (the sight of "looking out from these eyes"), mortality, temporal life...unbelievable poetry and production...sorry Waters but Gilmour is giving you a run for his money in this piece...

  10. c.... ....

    The experience of listening to this as one piece, while driving through scenic countryside, is wonderful. Thanks for putting this up for everyone to hear.

  11. S.... A....

    I hate how some people think David's lyric writing is not as good as Roger. But A New Machine has a deep meaning here. Chills every time!

  12. O.... W....

    Do you ever get tired of waiting?
    Do you ever get tired of being in there?
    Don't worry, nobody livee forever, nobody lives forever...

  13. S.... ....

    Everything about Pink Floyd is extraordinary

  14. H.... C....

    Siempre te he observado. Siempre te he visto con estos ojos. Siempre he estado ahí, observando te.

  15. N.... R....

    "Terminal Frost" this is one wicked track. The Female vocals, that sax, a dreamy guitar, the lot. "You will never again, ever again, ever again"

  16. R.... K....

    Terminal Frost what a sound!!

  17. R.... K....

    Sometimes I get tired of the waiting

  18. C.... ....

    Song remindes me of being in Korea....Aco 2/72 armored 2 infantry Div....

  19. R.... J....

    The best band ever...

  20. h.... ....

    Sounds like Smooth Jazz. Not my Floyd!

    h.... ....

    hippojuice23 Listen to songs off of Dark Side and The Wall. Sounds just the same. Especially in Us and Them. I see no problem with the songs

    h.... ....

    Have you like not listened to anything by Pink Floyd.

  21. m.... c....

    n 1 in the world

  22. J.... B....

    this is real music. not the crap that's around now. it's pure music. this album is just beautiful. and I play it almost every day for a song or two. mostly to relax.

    J.... B....

    Shut up, good music or “pure music” as you like it is subjective

    J.... B....

    You could not have chosen a worse Pink Floyd song

  23. D.... K....

    in A New Machine part 1 we found the machine from Wish You Were Here in it's old rusty abandoned remains after it's been shut down for so long in Terminal Frost now we're traveling inside the machine's freezing frozen insides to get it running again in A New Machine part 2 the machine has been reactivated so welcome back to the machine.

    D.... K....

    Pink Floyd soul was sick....beds of ospital and reactiving the machine cause it's still alive on the guitar chords touches in signs of life!

  24. R.... R....

    I still remember when I first heard this in a neighborhood bar was only 18 got in with the rep of my brothers love this song and now I dedicated to the passing of my best friend.

  25. K.... ....

    I wouldn't call a new machine music, but pure poetry.

  26. M.... K....

    Y'all check out the sample on Lee wan Dowski's 050504, its a banger

    M.... K....

    It was not my cup of tea, but I admire any artist that can breath new life into an old classic. I might have liked it better if it had a piece of terminal frost that beautiful sax solo in it.

  27. S.... V....

    Éste tema me transporta a otro estado. no puedo evitar cerrar mis ojos y disfrutar al máximo todos y cada uno de los sonidos. Sublime

    S.... V....

    Somos dos...

  28. L.... L....

    To this way, this is simply one of the most remarkable lyrics I've ever heard.

    Gilmour informing us that in reality he is a human soul in his earthly body looking out, and reminding us that we are the same...

    ...that is an AMAZINGLY deep idea, from the first time I heard it it just grappled me and made me aware of myself being a soul looking out from my own eyes like a window, while all "behind" my vision is all dark because I'm in here... and one day will be out when my own lifetime is complete...

    ...and yet I've never once tried drugs or liquor, and STILL this lyric made me take strong notice of its concept. Tooo me a while to shake. Sort of like being made aware of your tounge, or breathing.

    I wasn't surprised to learn in Wikipedia at least one music critic called this brilliant - because it is - and another at the time had also made the remark that Pink Floyd's remarkable talent "makes the listener believe they are on drugs". Which is also true.

    THIS, my friends, is the sort of pieces that demonstrates perfectly what distinguishes The Floyd's brilliance apart from the rest of the pack! :D

    L.... L....

    It's funny he's never had much confidence lyrically, at least according to him. I'm not sure what songs of his were written lyrically by others or with help from others, many were, but I've always felt his solo work and the Post Rogers Floyd lyrics were as complex and beautiful as any they produced over the years.

    L.... L....

    CaptainGoofysstash the most apt description of Pink Floyd ever. if you ever did try a drug I suggest smoke a bit of weed. and then listen to these songs with the last song Sorrow. close your eyes and fly with the music. it's Awe inspiring.

    L.... L....

    +Gregory Looks Just Like a Ghost (When Puyos Cry) Rick Wright melancholy lyrics

    L.... L....

    Everything is all the same. On No Way Out there is the lyric "When we look out we don;t see in."

    L.... L....

    I wonder if it had anything to do with Rick Wright's health. Not sure if there were issues at the time, well, other than his depression, which would fit the lyrics quite nicely. Or maybe there just isn't a specific meaning and Gilmoru was being his best impressionist self.
    It's a strange album to hear again after all those years. It's so 'shackled' to its time, with the smooth, crisp production and that godawful omnipresent saxophone, and yet there is Clare Torry taking us back to DSOTM and the distorted voices refering to an even earlier part of their catalogue... All while the rhythm and composition have this... classical 'proportions' or 'balance' that make it very listenable even today.

  29. j.... ....

    This was the song the odometer on my Pontiac Fiero hit 100,000 miles to.

    j.... ....

    @jonrev That's pretty funny.

    j.... ....

    @jonrev Looks like your "new machine" had a case of "terminal frost".

    j.... ....

    @Black Mage Anolis But 17k miles later it still runs like a new machine.

    j.... ....

    That's good.

  30. s.... ....

  32. T.... C....

    Only 34 likes? damn that's low. People these days wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face. Love Pink Floyd Always <3~

    T.... C....

    That isn't where I would slap them but since this is public I'll just leave it to your imagination.

  33. B.... T....

    Contemplative to be sure . . . a worthy addition to the legacy.

  34. W.... P....

    i have always been here ... i have always looked out from behind these eyes ... it feels like more than a lifetime ... it feels like more than a lifetime ... sometimes i get tired of the waiting ... sometimes i get tired of being in here ... is this the way that it's always been ... could it ever have been different ... do you ever get tired of the waiting ... do you ever get tired of being in there ... don't worry, nobody lives forever ... nobody lives forever

    W.... P....
