15th September for all us fans was a hard day and the 18th September 2008 I lost my Grandfather, I can not imagine in my lifetime that I will ever have a week quite like it.
I've heard Rick wrote this piece quite spontaneously while watching some footage of getting beat up in a riot. Does anyone know what he was watching while he wrote the song? Was it a scene from Zabriskie Point?
wonder what he was feeling when he wrote this,, so sad,,, humans can have such a beautiful mind like einstein, shakespere, and beehtoven, ,,,,,, but the down side is jack the ripper, hitler(not praising him), and napoleaon,, it works both ways!! to me thats what this song represents, how beautiful we are and how cruel we can be!!
And after all, we're only ordinary men... I love Us and Them, but this is a lot more beautiful rendition... Wish they would've left Us and Them like this with the vocals, or at least make a version of it. Still, Pink Floyd is the greatest and best band ever, and Richard Wright is one of the best musicians and composers of all time. Rest In Peace.
You will be dearly missed, to one of the worlds best keyboardists of all time... Shine on my friend and we will meet again one day , see you on the Darkside of the Moon.......
You're crazy dude. I play both of them, and if you turn them from notes into degrees (i don't know if it's called like that, because i'm brazillian), it will become the same chords from 'us and them'. Just try to sing the song on this progression and you will notice that they're almost the same. :)
where can i get this song on mp3? I know it was suppose to on Zabriskie Point but the director didnt said it was too sad so was it was reused for us and them.
otherwise known as Us and Them

Yes, the freedom soul of PF... at least that is what I think about it
I wish to think that he's now still composing great melodies somewhere...
Ciao Rick
