Richard Wright - Holiday (with lyrics)

Holiday is kind of a pop song with some comforting slide guitar by Snowy White it can get stuck in you head too.It's definitely the album's centerpiece--its best vocal track, with a great chorus and excellent crescendo.


It was meant to be a holiday
Building castles by the sea
Another way to live for you and me
Time to pause, consider what we've done
The wind is blowing, so come,
Let's take a holiday
How was I to know quite so soon
That dreams can turn a life,
Around it seems
There is no single way to live our days
Between these lines I know you see a man
Who's not quite sure who he is
Or where he stands
Sail on
Sail on, across the sea
Ride the waves, feel the breeze
Sail on
There's no other way I'd rather be
Destiny, reality are just a dream
Raise the sails, the wind is free
Every day I become more confused
Which way to go, how to choose
Back at home, what holds me here
Shut in not moving, only half a life
Clouds hang heavy, they leave me cold
It doesn't have to be this way
The wind is blowing, so come,
Let's take a holiday
Sail on
Sail on, across the sea
Ride the waves, feel the breeze
Sail on
There's no other way I'd rather be
Sail on
Sail on, across the sea
Ride the waves, feel the breeze
Sail on
There's no other way I'd rather be
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
There's no other way I'd rather be
Sail on
Sail on

Beauteful song... Rick was the best, but all of you who don't like Waters, why not? He and Syd was the most crazy in the group, and thank's to them, there is the floyd music we all love=)

@MKA829 Good thing Rick Wright is from Pink Floyd.

Rick Wright's Wet Dream and David Gilmour's first solo album (virtually recorded simultaneously) could have passed as a proper Pink Floyd album. Why Roger Waters rejected many of Gilmour and Wright's ideas was that he developed an ego trip during the making of Animals. I can still play Wet Dream and Gilmour's self-titled regularly whereas I have to be in a mood to play Roger's albums (exception is Amused to Death) and also find The Final Cut a weak album (sans Not Now John, Your Possible Pasts).

I got this album around about 1979 or 1980 and have loved it ever since.

I wasn't happy when Waters left, with an Ego that He was Bigger than the band.... That's why.... Pink Floyd was a Single Being... as a Group, they were One.... On his own, he's just a guy alone.... Like Fingers make a hand, One finger alone says F' You to the world.... lol....

[VelvetRope1992]

I have to find this album!

David and Richard have a love for the same notes and chords. As they have said so themselves, they had a musical affinity which was exclusive to them in the band; each knew where the other was going musically.

David must have been ripped apart when Richard died and, being a massive fan of David knowing that it must have been so breaks my heart.

The true poet of Pink Floyd... the humble master of the emotional core of Pink Floyd . Thank you Rick, -and now you make me cry once more...goodbye great poet - i know you have wings now.
