| A Pillow Of Winds Well, maybe you consider this song to be a filler standing behind the monumental Echoes and One Of These Days and Fearless. When I first heard this song, I thought it's pretty similar to Green Is The Colour, Crying Song and Fat Old Sun. But in the last days, I started to like it a lot. It sounds extremely sad for me. Does anyone have any ideas on any deeper meaning of the lyrics. To me, it sounds just like a poetic describing of going to sleep/waking up. I don't know, I just can't cope with the thought that it is only a filler.

So there are two things - me and the universe. The universe is there for me. Then what happens? Other people. But the universe is there for you. Now tell me what happened in the glade. I did something to myself. Like entertainment, like music, like a daydream. There was nothing there and I saw something. I saw his head on the bonnet of the car. You can say what you like but I saw the bird of paradise spread its wings. DO YOU PLAY BRIDGE?  |

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds As far as I can tell the lyrics simply describe a person drifting off into sleep, then the night outside, and finally the rising sun. I doubt there's any deeper meanings, it's just beautiful poetry and that's fine with me  But where the hell did you get the idea that people regard this as filler?!?! I love this song, and as far as I know all Floyd fans do! |

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds Well, the band haven't played it live and I've read lots of reviews where this song is described as a filler. But in my opinion, it's great.

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds I belive this is a beautiful song. I love how mellow it is & it is a good chill out song.

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds They've never played it live because they'd either need 4 extra guitarists or Dave would have to grow some extra arms.

 Botley: you're right, there's a slide guitar, acoustic guitar and another solo guitar. Maybe Nick could play the second guitar there's almost no percussion until the very end. No really, Nick probably doesn't play guitar.

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds He could play some of the basic rhythm picking... and he'd only need to occasionally tap the hi-hat with his foot. Plus Rick could play bass and organ simultaneously (e.g. If)... leaving Roger and Dave to split the difference. Hm.

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds I don't think the extra guitar parts would be too much of a problem, good bands always find ways to make up for what they can't play from studio tracks. |

| Re: A Pillow Of Winds It probably could have pulled off live, roughly but pulled off nonetheless. Its one of my favorite floyd songs, probably one of the most underrated.
