Crying Song

Pink Floyd · Soundtrack From The Film More [1969]

We smile and smile

We smile and smile

Laughter echoes in your eyes

We climb and climb

We climb and climb

Footfalls softly in the pines

We cry and cry

We cry and cry

Sadness passes in a while

We roll and roll

We roll and roll

Help me roll away the stone

Crying Song - Pink Floyd

Released in 1969 on the soundtrack album for the film More, "Crying Song" stands as a poignant early example of Pink Floyd's evolving atmospheric style. The track features the band's signature use of reverb and melodic guitar lines, setting a somber tone that would become a hallmark of their later work. While often overshadowed by their subsequent albums, this recording demonstrates the group's ability to craft emotional narratives through sound alone, foreshadowing the dramatic storytelling found in works like The Wall. It remains a significant piece in their discography, showcasing the band's transition from psychedelic rock to a more introspective and cinematic approach.
