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
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.
