It's about communication, the lack of and the need to, erm, 'keep talking'.

It's not really deep or particularly well executed, in my opinion, but there you go.

I used to watch this movie called "the never ending story",
in the movie there was some things that highly resembled the division bell cover.

I will try to find a picture or something.

Yeah, but it's a bit second-rate and not really worth paying any attention to, along with the music

All I can figure out is that it was made in 1984 -- ten years before DB was released.

Division Bell is a great albu,

Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galalxy, came up with the name.

Better than Daves idea of "tootenpuuf" or something along those lines :P
