Usage of the word "genius" has fallen to the same fate that the word "love" has succombed to....it's tossed around so freely that its literal meaning is diluted, but it does not take away the fact that a thing can indeed be genius in how a person perceives it for him or herself. Therefore, to call someone a genius for the way an instrument is played, in one moment in time or many times, can be "genious", lyrics can be "genious"...once or many times, a reply to a question can be "genius", etc. etc.
I see no reason for you to backtrack about your choice of terminology FVP, it's the way you feel, and there is never anything wrong or incorrect about how *you* feel.

Cool. I guess I meant that it has a profound effect on me, on an emotional level. :)

Don't like it as much, but it was a fantastic song eh? I think people often under rate the song and album. Over half the album i would say was brilliant (AHM and S68) which is IMO more so than PATGOD and SFOS.

Shine on, definitely. Both the music and the lyrics are the best of Pink Floyd. I also like the related lyrics to Syd Barrett. It's not that I don't like Echoes, that's also a great song.
