From Wikipedia:
"On the Turning Away" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. A live
performance of the song was featured on both the video and double CD releases of Delicate Sound of
Thunder. The song, a power ballad, references issues of poverty and oppression, lamenting on the
tendency of people to turn away from those afflicted with such conditions. It ends on a hopeful
note, with the last stanza beginning, "no more turning away ...". It is also a song that recovers
the mysticism of songs like "Wish You Were Here" or "Us and Them", but this time treating topics
like the suffering of people; the phrase "weak and the weary" portrays the suffering of people as
a big problem in today's world.
The song was the fifth track from the album performed when A Momentary Lapse of Reason was played
live from 1987 to 1989. The track was also performed sometimes during the band's 1994 Division
Bell tour, as the song was a U.S. rock radio hit.
The music video for the track was made, featuring a live recording and concert footage filmed
during the band's three night run at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia in November 1987 directed by
Lawrence Jordan (who has directed concert films for Rush, Mariah Carey and Billy Joel).
Promotional videos for "The Dogs of War" and "One Slip" were also used from footage of this
concert. The video made it to number nine on MTV's Video Countdown in January 1988
Lyrics:
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Vem Luz, me ilumina
Sonho dourado do Astral
me conduz e me ensina
o teu brilho é o meu sinal
Vem Amor, me faz viver
com tua força Divinal
sou filho desse poder
meu coração é o meu sinal
Vem Paz, vem paz
tua vinda é natural
Vem que o Amor me traz
no silêncio é o teu sinal."

The Eagles - Hotel California
The Eagles - Hotel California Lyrics
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
'please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
