Yet Another Movie
Pink Floyd · A Momentary Lapse Of Reason [1987]
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?
A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed
The use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still
He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the best
And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look
A man in black on a snow white horse,
A pointless life has run its course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun
M: You're going on that plane to take you where you belong
W: But no, I have...
M: You have got to listen to me. Do you have any idea what
you have to look forward to if you stay here?
Nine chances out of 10 we both end up in a concentration camp and that..
W: You're only saying these things to make me go.
M: I'm saying it 'cause it's true.
Inside us, we both know we belong in different......
....maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow,
but soon, and for the rest of your life.
W: But what about us?
But what about us?
But what about us?
Yet Another Movie
Released on Pink Floyd's 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason, 'Yet Another Movie' stands as a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of cinematic experiences. Recorded during the band's later period, the track blends progressive rock sensibilities with a melancholic atmosphere that characterizes their work from the 1980s. The song features a distinctive guitar solo and a driving rhythm section, creating a soundscape that contrasts with the more experimental directions taken in their previous decades. It serves as a standalone piece that captures the essence of the era while maintaining the band's signature introspective depth, offering listeners a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the noise of modern life.
