One little overlooked aspect is how incredible the guitar sounds on this song. That Stratocaster just spits and snarls like a cobra made out of pure electricity. I can practically imagine sparks coming out of the speakers.
Why does everyone bring up Justin Bieber? Is that all you people know about? haha Lets get real here that kid is pretty much 2 years ago. Learn a new joke!
@sherhrtatk Maybe you don't like the melody or lyrics, but at least understand this is a crucial step in the evolutionary process of the developing Pink Floyd sound. It has to be interesting at the very least in that respect.
I wonder if this song was influenced by them playing a couple of gigs with Blue Cheer back in '68 or '69, this being one of their only "heavy metal"-type songs?
@KaBaSpLoOSh I wouldn't say that. Led Zeppelin 1 & 2 are pretty heavy. Black Sabbath's first album was too. It was released in February of '70, so I guess it sort of counts as a '60's album
-Do bands like Zeppelin, Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix and the Who give you chills? Are you physically attracted to seeking truth in music? Well I am formally inviting you to take a listen to my channel, relax and let you ears fully enjoy my sound. I would love it if you took the time, they wont leave you disapointed. And in case if you end up liking it, your subscribtion to my channel will help me show the world my music. Much Love.
@e11aguru wow not at all... Kiss is the definition of a band with very little tallent that is popular because of image. how you relate this song to kiss is beyond me.
@cryingskies77 The loud guitars, screaming "cock rock" vocals, etc. don't sound proto-KISS to you at all? Be honest. I think that your love of Pink Floyd and extreme hatred of KISS is hurting your objectivity on the matter.
Just because Pink Floyd are much more talented than KISS (and I agree that they are) doesn't mean that they can never sound like KISS.
@e11aguru when you put it like that i still diagree with the previous statement but i wont get into an arguement about it because, yes it has a lot to do with my LOVE for the pink floyd and my hatred for a shitty talentless band that relies almost entirely on image.
@cryingskies77 dude you fail to realize that KISS centralizes on providing entertainment for their fans not trying to provide a profound philosophical or profound message. Most of their songs are about fucking women and excessive partying. So stop being such a pompous ass in assuming that everyone needs to create masterpieces to be enjoyable. Are you really going to pick a fight with another rock fan while Justin Bieber still roams the earth? didnt think so.
@charbroiledmonk1033 are you trying to say the floyd didnt provide entertainment for their fans? because they sure as hell did, and at the same time put a bit more thought into their music than just partying and fucking women, anyone who dosnt realize that is an idiot. Im not going to argue with idiots, Pink Floyd is far supirior to "Kiss", im not being "pompous" i just appreciate good music, and for that i appologize, you probably wouldnt understand.
@cryingskies77 you really seemed to miss the point I was making. People enjoy bands for different reasons and KISS is a great band but has a different kind of greatness than Floyd. You should listen to music because you enjoy it, not because some assclown (you) wants to show everyone how he can judge artists based on his own personal preferences and (anal)ysis. Not everyone has to think like you, you POMPOUS LITTLE PRICK. Also, kind of you to call me an idiot when you can't even spell "supirior"
@charbroiledmonk1033 I listen to music only because i enjoy it. If that was the case with everyone KISS would not be popular, they are famous because of their "image", not their music. But i guess a "pompous little prick" like myself wouldnt be able to understand that...
@charbroiledmonk1033 first of all KISS can suck my dick. Second PINK FLOYD got way more talent in one finger than gene simmons could ever wish his untalented pathetic excuse of a band could EVER have. Anyone can make a song about snorting shit and banging women--KISS just stuck with that because they have never been super creative like David Bowie or Pink Floyd. And didn't they go disco and sell out their fans for something lame and then go without the make-up that hid their fugly faces?
@jackisajackass0 pfff way to ignore what i was trying to say completely and act like a pompous ass about a post that was made a third of a year ago. NOBODY IS ARGUING KISS IS BETTER YOU LOON!
obviously you are just a justin bieber fan out to troll me.
@charbroiledmonk1033 Wow it just sounds like you're the pompous ass. I mean seriously who says loon nowadays?! And to be honest Who cares, I listen to Bieber and I'm ok with it because Bieber runs laps around kiss. And before Bieber it was the Jobros that every "rocker" bitched about--Bieber's 15 minutes of fame is starting to fade--it will be another David Cassidy that outs Bieber. So all I can really say is whatever you're just as big of a pompous ass and loon and a hypocrite to boot.
@jackisajackass0 You listen to Bieber b/c you have an 15-yr-old girl inside you, or your inside a 15-yr-old girl. That pretty much sums it up now doesnt it?
@charbroiledmonk1033 Pffft so let me get this straight--i'm a pedophile for listening to justin bieber. am i getting this right mr. pompous ass, am i? well it seems to me that you have the fixation with 15 year old girls not me. and before you take another sip from your bottle of haterade why don't you unstuff your mouth with the shit you call your opinions and flush them down the toilet along with your chat logs with 15 year olds and go disco to some kiss in your mom's basement you call home.
@PoisonGirlDValo don't worry there is no such thing as people who don't like pink floyd there is only people who have heard pink floyd and those who havint
Idk why but this reminds me of Dropkick Murphy's Taking Back Boston (?) song. For someone who's only listend to Pink Floyd's DSOTM, The Wall, AHM, Animals, and Final Cut, Im impressed yet again
david's best vocal work RIGHT HERE. free of charge. better than the other leading brand!! this is REALLY BAD MUSIC. oh yeah, love! i send this WITH LOVE!
The Ear on the Meddle cover art....I had the vinyl copy in the 80's and never realized it was an ear until a fateful night back in 1983 while enjoying some LSD....The album sleeve opened up and I could see the outer "big picture" so to speak...Ahhh, good times indeed!
Listening to this song (The Nile Song), and Ibiza Bar even more so, makes you take into consideration Floyd's influence on Grunge and other later Rock styles. I Mean most people Cite Cinnamon Girl (written in 1969 as well) as the first grunge song, where as I would put these in a similar category of influence.
that's a great song... but people, pink floyd are not for "hard" music... songs like atom heart mother are their style, not this one... it still rocks though!!
I wonder if any of you realize how amazing this song really is when you listen to every single other thing that Pink Floyd ever did. It's almost like they were channeling some other mystery band. The guitar solo (actually a duo, overdubbed) on this track is really just bursting with intense emotion.
does anyone have a desktop-sized version of the picture at 1:55? it used to be one of my favorite backgrounds but i lost it when my hard drive died...
Both of you guys have no good points, Pink floyd with and without syd is amazing, no one can hate syd because he revolutionized their sound, and then roger took the hand, so if you were a so called "fan" of pink floyd, you would love all of their music.
Why does it all got to be so terribly loud? For me, frankly, its too loud. I just can't bare it. I happened to have grown up with the string quartet which is a bit softer. So, uh, why does it got to be so loud?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this song is still crap. my opinion of music has nothing to do with a dysfunctioning brain. do you understand the difference between opinion and medical fact? you lightweight.
@pinkstarburst95 i have to apologize for the negative comments. oops! i love early and later pink floyd. i misbehaved. sorry it was on your page. sooorrrrryyyy.
I feel sorry for you cgundddd for not being able to fully enjoy this epic fucking masterpiece. cant you hear how much raw energy they put into it? it kills me everytime!
@uptheironsfromlondon thanks!!. i was actually bombarded with hatred on just one comment to this song. it actually really is a bad song. pink floyd fans are really nazis. we all have different opinions and they are all intelligent and worthy of being heard?? NOT FOR THE PINK FLOYD beer drinking losers. only one opinion is allowed. "HITLER IS THE GREATEST GENIUS". and that's all they will allow. oh well. i will never again attempt to text on their loser pages. THEY CAN HAVE IT ALL TO THEMSELVES.
@cgundddd oh yeah love. i forgot, ooops!! nile song is actually a very good try from the remainder of pink floyd after syd. i didn't expect the volume of negatives when i posted. i've posted on many songs but never got the amount of hatred when i posted this one. wow.
@cgundddd you guys are really passionate so that's good. but i like my syd. and this is really bad in that context. waters and gilmour got better after, i do admit. but i like my syd, the interstellar overdrive and millionaire guy, not the gnome and that bad stuff. but posting on syd NOONE really understands.
i really bet NOONE will get this one. but, as always, i apologize, i was a bit too insulting. syd still kicks all that pop stuff up all your asses.
@cgundddd Syd was good but i thought the early Floyd had a very Beatles type sound to it with songs like "See Emily Play" whereas Waters' voice has this incredibly unique, hypnotizing voice paired with deep lyrics, and that progressive rock-opera sound is epic. I think Roger was a better band leader too he's very involved, and very creative, likely why Floyd had the problems they had with him, he's headstrong and a perfectionist. Do you prefer Syd to Waters'? If so why is that?
@ika3791 ha! got you! mentioning sexuality is the last resort of a loser who has absolutely nothing to say. feel sorry for you and your penis-mind. I WIN!! hahaha.
@ika3791oh. ok, another mail from ika. mr ika squid. how amusing and hilarious the mails! hahahaha. i love them and i admire your extremely intelligent wit and exceptional analysis of the present world situation inherent in the subtext of your ever present message which seems to be a microcosm in theoretical terms of the present world situation.
@ika3791 they dialectically relate, (UNERRINGLY i might add) to the subject of the relation of the composition of "the nile song", in an exciting and provocative way, a way that convinces all who view these pages, to it's relevance in a present context, of it's unerring truth, of the life in present terms, so to speak.
@ika3791 truly a remarkable and unassailable criticism. applause from here! applause. so what, may i and others i have spoken with, what, may we ask, of your unappetizing desire for male sexual members???
@ika3791 ika squid. yeah. squid!. hahahaha. you impress me with just the name. LOSER. i'm off to more intelligent places. leaving you behind. it's amazing that seriously challenged humans are on this planet. byby!! hahahahaha!!
@cgundddd OH COME ON!! i thought you would have a really sophomoric moron reply! disappointed!! all you beer drinking mob audience of losers responsible for kurt cobain's suicide, jim morrison's death, hendrix puking into his lungs. WHERE ARE YOU NOW?? totally disappointed. where do you go, after the deed is done.
@cgundddd after the brylcreem is poured on our heads, after the whiskey is drunk, after we go to bellevue. where is the chorus of "whoooooooo!!!" where is the beer drinking college football mob asshole nonsence?? DISAPPOINTING.
@cgundddd If you're talking about Syd Barrett, than you have an altered view on reality. If you really perfer his nersery rhimes over the epic albums that Pink Floyd made after his departure, then you have a messed up head.
@pinkstarburst95, I'm not sure if you realize, but there's a whole lot of British adult sarcasm and eerie depth in Syd's songs. They are far from nursery rhymes. You would never have had one Floyd without the other.
@pinkstarburst95 Gotta love having a messed up head, then! I do like Pink Floyd's later stuff, for sure, but Arnold Layne, See Emily Play and Astronomy Domine are just incredible, along with pretty much everything else Syd wrote, too. I think it's a bit ignorant to dismiss the stuff he wrote as 'nursery rhymes' just because it isn't quite as epic as their later works. Nothing wrong with a bit of pop music!
@jjmsmusic They were nursery rhymes. Psychadellic ones, but still nursery rhymes. Look at the lyrics to "The Gnome", or "See Emily Play". His songs may be very catchy and his songwriting is origional, but it's hard to praise Syd at all without really praising the other members for their work which easily outshines Syd's.
@pinkstarburst95 the Nile Song has nothing to do with Syd.This is from the album "More" which was done after Syd left or was thrown out of his own band.This was the new Pink Floyd,with David Gilmour their new guitarist/co writer /singer.David is the one singing on the Nile Song.(he is a great singer and one of the greatest guitarists in the world today. But without Syd there would be no Pink Floyd."
@STRATCAT101 True. There would have been no Pink Floyd without Barett, but they would have definetely been destroyed, if they had carried on with him.
@pinkstarburst95 Well then, I must have a messed up head too. I love post-Barrett Pink Floyd but my favourite album is Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, and I think Barrett was a musical and lyrical genius.
Funny how you describe Barrett's lyrics as nursery rhymes, because in my mind he wrote some really dark material.
Of course, "each to their own". A phrase you should remember before casting judgement on others based on your personal taste.
Hi everyone... i remember there was a track in this album before this song; i remember it have no lyrics just music... do you remember which one im talking about?
Una de su mejores canciones de Pink Floyd y una de mis favoritas , escapándose de su línea del rock progresista , entra un hard rock muy bueno Gracias Pink Floyd por la buena música.

This song is fucking HEAVY. Did Floyd ever do this song live, I but it might have shocked some people on how heavy this song was.

I wonder if any of you realize how amazing this song really is when you listen to every single other thing that Pink Floyd ever did. It's almost like they were channeling some other mystery band. The guitar solo (actually a duo, overdubbed) on this track is really just bursting with intense emotion.

Both of you guys have no good points, Pink floyd with and without syd is amazing, no one can hate syd because he revolutionized their sound, and then roger took the hand, so if you were a so called "fan" of pink floyd, you would love all of their music.

Why does it all got to be so terribly loud? For me, frankly, its too loud. I just can't bare it. I happened to have grown up with the string quartet which is a bit softer. So, uh, why does it got to be so loud?

@uptheironsfromlondon thanks!!. i was actually bombarded with hatred on just one comment to this song. it actually really is a bad song. pink floyd fans are really nazis. we all have different opinions and they are all intelligent and worthy of being heard?? NOT FOR THE PINK FLOYD beer drinking losers. only one opinion is allowed. "HITLER IS THE GREATEST GENIUS". and that's all they will allow. oh well. i will never again attempt to text on their loser pages. THEY CAN HAVE IT ALL TO THEMSELVES.

@cgundddd oh yeah love. i forgot, ooops!! nile song is actually a very good try from the remainder of pink floyd after syd. i didn't expect the volume of negatives when i posted. i've posted on many songs but never got the amount of hatred when i posted this one. wow.
cgundddd 1 year ago
@cgundddd you guys are really passionate so that's good. but i like my syd. and this is really bad in that context. waters and gilmour got better after, i do admit. but i like my syd, the interstellar overdrive and millionaire guy, not the gnome and that bad stuff. but posting on syd NOONE really understands.
i really bet NOONE will get this one. but, as always, i apologize, i was a bit too insulting. syd still kicks all that pop stuff up all your asses.
cgundddd 1 year ago
@cgundddd Syd was good but i thought the early Floyd had a very Beatles type sound to it with songs like "See Emily Play" whereas Waters' voice has this incredibly unique, hypnotizing voice paired with deep lyrics, and that progressive rock-opera sound is epic. I think Roger was a better band leader too he's very involved, and very creative, likely why Floyd had the problems they had with him, he's headstrong and a perfectionist. Do you prefer Syd to Waters'? If so why is that?

@ika3791 they dialectically relate, (UNERRINGLY i might add) to the subject of the relation of the composition of "the nile song", in an exciting and provocative way, a way that convinces all who view these pages, to it's relevance in a present context, of it's unerring truth, of the life in present terms, so to speak.

@cgundddd If you're talking about Syd Barrett, than you have an altered view on reality. If you really perfer his nersery rhimes over the epic albums that Pink Floyd made after his departure, then you have a messed up head.
pinkstarburst95 1 year ago 4
@pinkstarburst95, I'm not sure if you realize, but there's a whole lot of British adult sarcasm and eerie depth in Syd's songs. They are far from nursery rhymes. You would never have had one Floyd without the other.
gregor2042 1 year ago
@pinkstarburst95 Gotta love having a messed up head, then! I do like Pink Floyd's later stuff, for sure, but Arnold Layne, See Emily Play and Astronomy Domine are just incredible, along with pretty much everything else Syd wrote, too. I think it's a bit ignorant to dismiss the stuff he wrote as 'nursery rhymes' just because it isn't quite as epic as their later works. Nothing wrong with a bit of pop music!
jjmsmusic 1 year ago 6
@jjmsmusic They were nursery rhymes. Psychadellic ones, but still nursery rhymes. Look at the lyrics to "The Gnome", or "See Emily Play". His songs may be very catchy and his songwriting is origional, but it's hard to praise Syd at all without really praising the other members for their work which easily outshines Syd's.

@pinkstarburst95 the Nile Song has nothing to do with Syd.This is from the album "More" which was done after Syd left or was thrown out of his own band.This was the new Pink Floyd,with David Gilmour their new guitarist/co writer /singer.David is the one singing on the Nile Song.(he is a great singer and one of the greatest guitarists in the world today. But without Syd there would be no Pink Floyd."

@pinkstarburst95 Well then, I must have a messed up head too. I love post-Barrett Pink Floyd but my favourite album is Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, and I think Barrett was a musical and lyrical genius.
Funny how you describe Barrett's lyrics as nursery rhymes, because in my mind he wrote some really dark material.
Of course, "each to their own". A phrase you should remember before casting judgement on others based on your personal taste.
