Paintbox


He had
Brubeck fingers,
sepia tone stained 
with nicotine 
and 
Farfisa hum.
His voice was
soft and steady.
A pillow of winds.
Although
he pulled out 
all of the stops,
he didn't make a fuss
or cause a scene.
He just rode 
the Binson Echorec, 
plate wave echo
on streams of B-3.
Early gray
and ever background
but his parts
breathe color
and synaptic wattage
into the skeleton
of the song.

Oh, I wish I had just one Brubeck finger!

This was mellow, cool and very jazz.

i love 'Remember a day' (especially) & 'Paintbox', they're wonderful songs & keyboard parts. i love the early-Floyd though my interest in them terminates after darkside of the moon.

There's not much to strap ear goggles on and listen to after Dark Side of the Moon. I do like the soundtrack to Obscured by Clouds but Paintbox is my fave!
