Echos:
Strangers passing in the street

I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes

And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
Actually, Roger himself has made the comparison between those two sets of lyrics.

As far as songwriting goes...I have written ten or fifteen songs and I think they are uniquely me.

Driven, would you know the interview or where the statement was made? I've listened to these songs for years and recently caught the similarities.

I would put down something I really like that I wrote recently, but I know very little of the chords involved.

I can't find the EXACT quote, but here's an interview where he says pretty much the same stuff:

RW: Yeah. Before I found my voice, there were orchestral experiments that sound pretty (lame) now, and on albums like Meddle (1971) you can detect a groping for form. But most of the songs survived reasonably. The song Echoes, a long, drawn-out piece, has a lyric about strangers passing on the street that's become a recurrent theme for me, the idea of recognizing oneself in others and feeling empathy and a connection to the human race.

Yes, I have. And it sounds pretty bad (no offense).
