flight

[DomaniSmettoDa]

Here we are Stuck by this river, You and I Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down Ever falling down. Through the day As if on an ocean Waiting here, Always failing to remember why we came, came, came: I wonder why we came. You talk to me as if from a distance And I reply With impressions chosen from another time, time, time, From another time.

[SWTinFLA]

It's from Brian Eno's 1977 album "Before and After Science" and it's called "By This River."

Wow! Where in the world was that plane flying in to? The land and the buildings look very interesting, and I noticed a lot of towers or obelisks (or something) around (2:22).

Flying into Kathmandu. The towers are chimneys used to make bricks in the outskirts of the city.

What album is this song on? I couldn't find any Eno song titled "flight". I'm confused.

[stapgnosirve]

Actually this song calls "By this river"

If you like experimental music, just try TACUARA NOD, available on youtube

sky has no limit!

I discovered ENO through the Bowie/Eno collaberations "Low" and "Heros". Have been a devoted fan ever since. Love the "90"? release "Wrong Way UP" with John Cale. A lot of acid at that time, just burned into my brain. (Love It)

[persphlp]

Yes I agree with you. A strange period for me to....

[martinevans123]

Like most of the tunes on that album, simple = beautiful.

[ohisashiburi]

Another Green World is also brilliant...beautiful indeed!!

[mrmarks65]

I got a pre-release of this album at the college station I was working at in 1977. I still have this. This song and "Julie With" are my fav daydream tunes. Thank you gelasia and thank you Brian.
