Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun Lyrics






Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning
Over the hills a swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness, waking the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

Witness the man who waves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

    PINK FLOYD... THE BEST..

  8. R.... T....

    I love Pink Floyd and the great variety in their repertoire. Difficult to tell which is my favourite song, and I probably don't need to think about it and give myself a headache, but this live interpretation of "The Set" is definitely one of them. Great lyrics, great band achievement what else ? I've listened to it merely 10 times in a row which is something I rarely do in music

  9. K.... K....

    Blow sir Paul McCartney pink floyd should have been the top act

  10. T.... M....

    From this to "money" Dark side of the moon was a good album but a mundane Pink Floyd album.

  11. h.... ....

    this is magic!!!!!! speechless!!!! crazy!!!!! wonderful and heaven!!!!!!!!!

  12. Z.... B....

    One snd only.........THE BAND......👑👑👑👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕💕💕💕

  20. C.... M....

    This is ART 😍

  21. R.... D....

    THIS ! Is the top...

  22. m.... ....

    Drum overdose.

  23. B.... V....

    The original song had all 5 members singing on the song and it’s the only one they ever all sung on together. Makes this song pretty important in PF history.

  24. R.... F....

    I remember the first time seeing this movie... it was more than just an lsd experience. Thank you.

  25. j.... ....

    Went to pompeii today .. there is a floyd exhibition..but i have to say this music is just fucking wierd..and all you folks out there that think its genius are also ficking wierc..im listening to this via my power beats 3 and its just painful on the ears..im gonna try another track but this is really pretty shit

  26. K.... D....

    It gets always creepy and mystic when Roger sings.... i f.... love this man <3

  27. B.... L....

    HAKKI BLUOYD

  28. R.... P....

    Thanks for posting, I picked the right video of this song. Those eyes on the woman from Pompeii look like they're staring into you. Poor people.

  29. v.... ....

    It's just me or this song sounds like Tool?
    Better: doesn't Tool sound like this song?

  30. A.... i....

    You do not find the music, the music finds you.

  31. J.... M....

    You tube sucks with so many adds

  32. J.... M....

    2 adds really ! Omg

  33. A.... J....

    En los 60 podian sonar muy extraño pero si analizas bien no es algo que cualquiera con un buen sintetizador y una bateria no pudiera hacer. Lo que sucede es que si le pones Pink Floyd a cualquier improvisaxion o ensayo ya dicen que es grandioso.

  34. m.... m....

    My godness this song can't explain this feeling !! My drug band can't get enough ...

  35. S.... ....

    I went out on a date with a chick and this came on the radio. I stopped the car and started to listen...she asks what the fuck is this ?
    I asked her: where would you like me to drop you off honey? 🤣🤣
    I could tell there's no fucking way I can have a meaningful relationship with this person 😂

  36. D.... S....

    Les dieux des dieux

  37. B.... n....

    From 2000 A.D no Modern rock bands have artistic talent to play like this. They only love to play and sing hip hop songs, pop songs, party songs.

  38. S.... O....

    Thanks 🤔 to my brother 👊 for some 🤔 of my music 🤔!!!!

  39. M.... C....

    PUTA QUE PARIIIU

  40. C.... K....

    Omg mason amazing

  41. G.... M....

    I'm turning on

  42. L.... H....

    Wuau simplemente pink Floyd 2019 y sigue siendo lo más chingon

  43. B.... ....

    I love Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. It's one of my favorite early Floyd songs. This Pompeii version is stunning, but I give the slight nod to the live Ummagumma version. Just a really great post Syd piece, lyrically great and musically strong.

  44. G.... B....

    Ingenious band

  45. H.... S....

    This is why i worship Pink Floyd :)

  46. A.... L....

    The best. Their style is extremely different to others Band. The soundeffects & other weird sounds that you can hear just like that you are flying or walking in the outer space.

  47. t.... s....

    this is like heaven...............

  48. D.... A....

    Kahit Asawa ko hinihiram nya Ang album na to .works by Pink Floyd .Ang sarap sa tenga pakingan.

    Darkness. A certain evil that becomes more frantic. Who were the watchers? Who taught the secrets of music. Think...

    "Set the (YouTube) controls for the start of the next Pink Floyd song"! Think I'll go for "Echoes"😊

  63. K.... R....

    One thing I noticed, Roger loves that gong

  64. a.... e....

  70. m.... j....

    I leteratly said out loud at the end on the big scream around 7 minutes or so "fucking hell Roger"

  71. m.... j....

    Not so much technology then, so creativity process is completely different from 2019.
    Which is best.
    With limitations one has to be creative.
    With so much choice, one can be too overwhelmed.
    I certainly prefer a human drummer, unless a machine is appropriate for the music.
    👍

  72. S.... ....

    6:27 they knew the score :)

  73. E.... E....

    Genius ,....!

  74. M.... V....

    Saw Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets earlier this year, and they played this! It was so awesome.

  77. K.... T....

    look into the eyes of the pompeiians. set the controls for the heart of the sun.

  78. A.... ?....

    Pero que pedazo de obra maestra.

  79. S.... B....

  80. K.... L....

    BETTER NEXT ECHOES

  81. K.... L....

    EVEN BETTER AT VENUE

  82. A.... N....

    Nick mason helps me transition into that perfect state with this one love and light man. ❤🌀

  83. J.... S....

    Syd is on guitar even though he’s not in the video

  84. F.... G....

    La percusión de mason provoca algo tán bacan en el tema .

  85. M.... S....

    Wow blatant paganism and I used to be so blissfully ignorant in my younger years. The butterfly the axe, the sun god, Janus and Pan a bit of everything Nice one Pink Floyd.. And, a Great song.I visited Pompey but I couldn't bring myself to look at those poor souls reaping the results as an ensample for us all..https://youtu.be/uuT_4XElXOU

  86. c.... k....

    very snaky, dark, and mystic .. almost like a very evil conspiracy.. ah im amused !

  90. J.... B....

    The greatest band ever to walk the Earth!

  91. g.... ....

    Do you wonder what the ghosts of the people of Pompeii thought of this band of musicians playing in their ancient amphitheater?

  92. N.... F....

    I wish Tame Impala would cover this track. Just saying.

  93. A.... L....

    Your set into the heart of the spell. So get your new spell up date. At your set .com=+

    ORGASMIC!

    "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun"

    Little by little the night turns around
    Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
    Lotus's lean on each other in yearning
    Over the hills a swallow is resting
    Set the controls for the heart of the sun

    Over the mountain watching the watcher
    Breaking the darkness, waking the grapevine
    Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
    Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

    Set the controls for the heart of the sun
    The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

    Witness the man who waves at the wall
    Making the shape of his question to Heaven
    Whether the sun will fall in the evening
    Will he remember the lesson of giving?

    Set the controls for the heart of the sun
    The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

  96. S.... D....

    Another masterpiece by arguably the best band to form 🤷🏻‍♂️

  97. P.... d....

    I once used the sun's gravity to sling shot back into time.
