"Let There Be More Light" is the first song on Pink Floyd's second album A Saucerful of Secrets. It was also released in edited form as the fourth U.S. single by the group. A rare US-only single release (Tower 440) contains edited mono versions of this song and 'Remember A Day'. The single did not chart. Pink Floyd performed the song live from 1968--1969, with it often acting as an encore.
The song is written by Roger Waters. It begins with an iterative bass line before the vocals start. The first, gentler vocals are performed by Richard Wright with Roger Waters whispering, the following, harder refrain by David Gilmour. The last two minutes feature for the first time a guitar solo from Gilmour in a Pink Floyd album, featuring his distinctive style of playing single notes treated with effects such as distortion and echo. Lyrics :
Far, far, far, far a-way, way
People heard him say, say
I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will return

Then at last the mighty ship,
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall

Now, now, now
Is the time, time, time
To be be be aware

Carter's father saw it there
And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the wake

Oh, my something in my eye eye
Something in the sky sky
Waiting there for me

The outer lock rolled slowly back
The servicemen were heard to sigh
For there revealed in flowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

Oh, oh did you ever know, know?
Never ever will they
I'll say

Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his toes
His psychic emanations flood

  • Slayer???? 

  • what has slayer have to do with pink floyd? lol?

  • After doing LSD for the first time, I now know why the album cover was designed like this. When you look at it while you're on acid, it morphs into a beautiful spinning fractal of vivid colors. Sure, just about everything else you focus on does too, but it's not nearly as beautiful as this album cover. <3 Pink Floyd
