YT comment - Marcus Silvio : "This song, for me at least, has always represented an enlightened global perspective; we are all just souls passing through the mist of life - not one of us more special or important then the other. It's up to as Humans, not men and women, not white and black, but as humans, to put aside petty differences and spread love; a love not restricted and shared with a few, but with everyone. As Roger said 'there is no Us and Them, just US'." ~~~ Choose LOVE ~~~ The Great Gig in the Sky ... The Lockdown Recordings (don't miss it - 99 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock) ...
