Just keep talking.....

Post Reply New Topic

For some reason this song reminds me of what it is sometimes like, having aspergers syndrome. Knowing that sometimes i really should say something, or be more talkative and i just don't really know what i should say or how to say it.
As to me the backup singers tend to be the thoughts of the other people, NT or not.
Also i really love how they have an actual sound clip of Stephen Hawking as the starting of the song

Anyway, i would love to hear your thoughts on this song. Like it? Hate it? Or maybe I'm just crazy?

Keep Talking -- Lyrics
For millions of years mankind lived just like animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now_________(why won't you talk to me)
I can't seem to speak now_________(you never talk to me)
My words won't come out right _____(what are you thinking)
I feel like I'm drowning ___________(What are you feeling)
I'm feeling weak now_____________(why won't you talk to me)
But I can't show my weakness _____(you never talk to me
I sometimes wonder _____________(what are you thinking)
Where do we go from here ________(what are you feeling)

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me _________(I feel like I'm drowning)
You never talk to me_____________(you know I can't breathe now)
What are you thinking____________(we're going nowhere)
What are you feeling_____________(we're going nowhere)
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

I own that album

I'm not sure why, but the opening lines by Stephen Hawking always give me chills. Not at the voice, but something about the image that the words create... I make a lot of images in my mind when I listen to music.

One line that always stood out from this album, and that I found quite fitting for some time, was in the song after this one. It went something like, "... stuck in a world of isolation, while the ivy grows over the door."

Some hardcore Floyd fans dismiss the later albums due to the band no longer being whole by then, but I still think it's a great album in its own right.

Really? Nobody else? I thought Mr_M had a good thread with this album being all about communication or lack thereof.

One of my favourite Floyd albums. I adore almost every second of it.

i don't know why so many "hard core" fans don't like this particular album, i've always loved it.....poles apart is a great song

....oh, and "lost for words" is the song with that ivy growing over the door line also an excellent song

that song reminds me too much of my ex-wife and i for me to enjoy listening to it often.
