Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Atom Heart Mother Lyrics / Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast Lyrics Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast (Waters, Mason, Gilmour, Wright) 13:00 (Instrumental) 01. Atom Heart Mother02. If03. Summer ’6804. Fat Old Sun05. Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast About the Song “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast” is a three-part instrumental track from Pink Floyd’s album “Atom Heart Mother,” released in 1970. It’s a piece that combines typical instrumental segments with non-musical sound effects to create an auditory collage that is reflective of the experimental nature of the band during this era. The piece features roadie Alan Styles, who provides both the sound effects of preparing and eating breakfast and the spoken elements, giving the track an organic and intimate feel. In the whimsically titled “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast,” Pink Floyd takes listeners through a unique sonic journey, intertwining music with the everyday sounds of a morning routine. This experimental piece is divided into three movements— “Rise and Shine,” “Sunny Side Up,” and “Morning...

Fat Old Sun Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Atom Heart Mother Lyrics / Fat Old Sun Lyrics Fat Old Sun (Gilmour) 5:23 When the fat old sun in the sky is fallingSummer evenin’ birds are callingSummer’s thunder time of yearThe sound of music in my earsDistant bells, new mown grassSmells so sweetBy the river holding handsRoll me up and lay me downAnd if you sit don’t make a soundPick your feet up off the groundAnd if you hear as the warm night fallsThe silver sound from a time so strangeSing to me, sing to meWhen that fat old sun in the sky is fallingSummer evenin’ birds are callingChildren’s laughter in my earsThe last sunlight disappearsAnd if you sit don’t make a soundPick your feet up off the groundAnd if you hear as the warm night fallsThe silver sound from a time so strangeSing to me, sing to meWhen that fat old sun in the sky is...

Summer ’68 Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Atom Heart Mother Lyrics / Summer ’68 Lyrics Summer ’68 (Wright) 5:28 Would you like to say something before you leavePerhaps you’d care to state exactly how you feelWe said good-bye before we said helloI hardly even like you, I shouldn’t care at allWe met just six hours ago, the music was too loudFrom your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody yearAnd I would like to knowHow do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel? Not a single word was said, delights still without fearsOccasionally you showed a smile but what was the needI felt the cold far too soon – the wind of ’95My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was thereTomorrow brings another town and another girl like youHave you time before you leave to greet another manJust you let me knowHow do you feel, how...

If Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Atom Heart Mother Lyrics / If Lyrics If (Waters) 4:30 If I were a swan, I’d be gone.If I were a train, I’d be late.And if I were a good man,I’d talk with youMore often than I do. If I were to sleep, I could dream.If I were afraid, I could hide.If I go insane, please don’t putYour wires in my brain. If I were the moon, I’d be cool.If I were a book, I would bend for you.If I were a good man, I’d understandThe spaces between friends. If I were alone, I would cry.And if I were with you, I’d be home and dry.And if I go insane,And they lock me away,Will you still let me join in the game? If I were a swan, I’d be gone.If I were a train, I’d be late again.If I were a good man,I’d talk with youMore often than...

Remergence (Instrumental) 01. Atom Heart Mother02. If03. Summer ’6804. Fat Old Sun05. Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast About the Song “Atom Heart Mother Suite” is an epic piece that dominates Pink Floyd’s album “Atom Heart Mother,” released in 1970. It was a bold, experimental work at the time, blending rock with orchestral music and featuring a brass section and choir, without the use of any standard lyrics. “Atom Heart Mother Suite,” a cornerstone of Pink Floyd’s experimental phase, is a six-part composition that marked the band’s first foray into a large-scale orchestral sound. This ambitious suite was a collaborative effort between the band and composer Ron Geesin, resulting in an eclectic mix of progressive rock and avant-garde symphony. The suite unfolds over...
