This is considered the first big Pink Floyd song in their prog rock era, and is considered the preview to The Dark Side of the Moon. The song is about humans and how amazing is the way they react to each other.
The lyrics bear inspiration to John Lennon’s “Across the Universe” which is alluded in s...
Echoes Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
Overhead, the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
[Chorus 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
[Chorus 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the Sun
[Instrumental: 4:56 – 19:11]
[Verse 3: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
Cloudless, every day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
[Chorus 3: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
Call to you across the sky
[Instrumental Outro]

How was the song's initial *ping* created?
The band members wanted to play a grand piano through a Leslie speaker, which was not the latter’s intended use, so they asked Abbey Road studio’s engineers to come up with a system allowing this configuration.
Once the device was set up, Wright tried it and this particular note fed back, which mad...
What did Pink Floyd say about "Echoes"?
David Gilmour, about the making of The Dark Side Of The Moon:
“Echoes” shows the direction that we’re moving in.
Roger Waters:
[Echoes] was a 20-minute piece.
A, it was a “construct”, and B, it was the beginning of all the writing about other people. It was the beginning of empathy, if you like....
