One of the themes for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday is memories, which – appropriately enough – reminded me of this poignant ode to the all too brief innocence of childhood. From Pink Floyd’s 1968 ‘Saucerful Of Secrets’ album and written by keyboard player Richard Wright. Remember a day before todayA day when you were…
The broad theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week could be described as the ‘circle of life’. This is a song about moving on in life – life goes on: until it doesn’t. Where were you when I was burned and brokenWhile the days slipped by from my window watchingAnd where were you when I…
Jim’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week consists of words intended to attract someone’s attention – including the ever-popular ‘Hey’. I completely overlooked what is arguably the most well-known song featuring that word in its title – The Beatles’ ‘Hey Jude’, which I suspect will be – quite rightly – a popular choice and…
It’s a very broad category for Song Lyric Sunday this week – songs with one-word titles. Anyway, this is the one that came to my mind first – one of my favourite Pink Floyd sonic landscapes.

Jim’s third and final letter-themed Song Lyric Sunday prompt is D or J. You can have both if you like. ‘Julia Dream’ was originally the B-side of the 1968 single ‘It Would Be So Nice’ – a song which, I have to confess, passed me by completely. Which must mean that I first heard this…
Week two of Song Lyric Sunday’s mini-series of letters of the alphabet gives us M or A. It occurred to me that if Jim can have a short season, so can I, so here is another song by Pink Floyd. ‘Astronomy Domine’ is rather different from last week’s ‘Green Is The Colour’, although I suspect…
To begin the New Year, Jim is embarking on a three-week season of Song Lyric Sunday prompts consisting of a choice of two letters of the alphabet, the title of the selected song having to begin with one of them. First up is P or G, and my first thought was this Pink Floyd beauty,…
‘Relating is what brings together Jim’s key words for this week’s ‘Song Lyric Sunday’. Well, if there is an ‘Us’ it almost goes without saying that there’ll be a ‘Them’ as well – as in this song by Pink Floyd Us and them And after all we’re only ordinary men Me and you God only…
An eclectic mix for Laura’s weekly Song Challenge this time around. 1. Post a video of a song that is about smiling. 2. Post a song about mending, healing or strength. 3. Post a video of a song by a singer or band that begins with an E. From the first awakening of my preference…
