      Welcome!

       

      Little by little, we are adding all the Pink Floyd songs to our game. The masterpiece album, The Dark Side of the Moon, was closest to completion. Of the ten songs on the album, seven were currently available with all instruments and harmonies. That left three to go:

       

      Speak to Me. This is the one minute introduction to the album, and is simply sound effects, spooky laughter, and some conversation. Not suitable for charting.

       

      Here are the remaining two songs:

      Breathe (in the Air) is a Gilmour/Wright melody, often featured in their live performances, with simple lyrics written by Roger Waters.

       

      Like most of the songs on the album, the track starts with an echo of the previous song, Speak to Me, and ends with a few bars from the next track. I edited those out of the audio.

       

      You can download this here:

      Later in the album, they did another version of this song, with no vocals, sometimes called Breathe (Second Reprise). On the album, it is called Any Colour You Like:

      This was charted for some instruments by Sideshow (in a long version, combined with Us and Them). It now has all instruments.

      Darkside is now, essentially, C3 complete. Enjoy!

       

      My final offering is another treat from The Division Bell. Eventually, I will get that entire album finished.

      According to some sources, this song is about the departure of Roger Waters, and the Wall references mean their Wall album, mostly written by Waters.

       

      Gilmour, himself, says this is all silly. The song is about the optimism and joy when the Berlin Wall fell, and the disillusionment that came later when it became apparent that little had really changed.

       

      I am old enough to remember the Wall, and I visited Berlin in 1990. Seeing the remnants of this travesty was quite moving. I can’t help but wonder what David Gilmour would make of our country’s current effort to build an impenetrable Southern Berlin Wall.

       

      Hope you are ready for some Floyd. And donate, PLEASE!

       

      Next up: Even more MrPrezident. Does he ever get tired?

       

      This time, we are getting grunge. I can’t wait!

                Get out of my House! The first track on the band’s debut studio album, the song transforms the lowliest member of rock society, the groupie, into the ultimate anti-heroine, in spite of the abjected mother.

                Happy in Hell! From their landmark 1995 album Sparkle and Fade, it presents a stark and accurate account of heroin addiction. While the subject, Esther, was a fictional creation, the song is rumored to be about lead singer Art Alexakis’s brother overdosing on heroin. He had overheard a policeman say “Just another overdose” about his brother’s death, which became a lyric he used in the song.

                          Hey again!

                          Today we bring a release from HighFlyingBirds, who sadly due to personal reasons cannot do the release himself. But he’s done most of the work, while I’ve done keys, harmonies and other small matters. So we’re happy to present:

                          We all know Alex Turner – the Arctic Monkeys frontman.

                          The Last Shadow Puppets are his ambitious side project with musician Miles Kane. Lush, symphonic, inspired by the likes of Scott Walker and David Bowie, this is quite different from your typical AM offering, and in my humble opinion – actually better.

                          “The Age of the Understatement” is the opening track, and the title track, from the band’s debut album. It was hailed by Pitchfork as “Turner’s most impressive album-length statement”, and is widely loved by Turner and Kane fans. We’re happy to bring this song to Rock Band, and I’m sure Arctic Monkeys fans – and general fans of rock music – will love it.

                                Hey everyone! Deviating from my short history here of releasing old, obscure, Canadian music, my first contribution to this event is from a band that at least everyone should have heard of. Without further ado….drumroll….

                                Faith No More needs no introduction, so I won’t do a big rundown of these songs. However, I will say a few things. Both songs are from their 1997 album ‘Album of the Year’. I chose Ashes to Ashes because I love it and thought it would be a fun song to play on all instruments. Last Cup of Sorrow is memorable for me because of the excellent and bizarre video, which was an homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and starred Jennifer Jason Leigh (but of course I think it’s fun to play too). Enjoy!

                                SONG COUNT: 66

                                 

                                Next up: a song from an 80s artist who is a total teetotaler.
