All this love
Is all I am,
A ball is all I am.
I'm so new
Compared to you
And I am very small.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Waiting here,
Seems like years,
Never see the light of day.
All around
I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear.
Red the light
And dark the night
I feel my dawn is near.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Whisper low
Here I go,
I will see the sunshine show.
Is all I am,
A ball is all I am.
I'm so new
Compared to you
And I am very small.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Waiting here,
Seems like years,
Never see the light of day.
All around
I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear.
Red the light
And dark the night
I feel my dawn is near.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Whisper low
Here I go,
I will see the sunshine show.
Embryo - Pink Floyd
Released as a standalone single in 1973, "Embryo" stands as a pivotal moment in Pink Floyd's early discography, marking their transition from psychedelic rock to a more expansive, atmospheric sound. The track features the band's signature use of synthesizers and layered vocals, creating a haunting and introspective mood that would define their later work. While not part of a studio album at the time, the song was recorded during sessions that eventually contributed to the band's evolving identity. Its enduring popularity highlights the group's ability to craft complex, emotionally resonant pieces that remain central to their legacy.
