Prompt, incorporating ‘fanciful schemes’
and ‘never one and done’. This is my response.

When
you live
a life of
fanciful schemes
and laughable dreams,
you might be ridiculed.
You are never one and done.
Those without vision hope you fail;
they are a jealous, unfulfilled lot.
Don’t let their lackluster spirits stop you!

There are a few songs which, in my head, are almost biblical. This is one of them. Thank you, Matt.

Yes, I agree, I wrote about it: ‘There was a voracious and charismatic Danish exchange student at my high school called Hans who put a whole group of us onto this song in grade 11 cerca 1989. During a night-out at his exchange parent’s home, he had us lie down on the living room. After slight murmurs and curious giggles silence ensued and he put on today’s featured track. I had no idea that his little social-music experiment would almost send me off into a trance. Music had never had that transcendental affect on me before.”
It’s one of a kind.

It’s a real beauty, written by David Gilmour for Syd Barrett, the first singer/songwriter with Floyd. It’s message is a spiritual one for me; I’m happy to know you love it also. Thanks!
