Song lyrics that you really have to strain to make out

Unread post by Mississippi Blind Child Assburn »

Butthole-offal like Sinatra vocals are recorded perfectly but much 70s prog is plagued with shit sound mix. (often it is hard to sound engineer a clear vocals recording because of the nature of the beast: much prog is busy and thick: usually lots of layers)

Just been playing Nick Mason Band "Live Milano Sept. 2018", Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. Could make out more lyrics than on the Floyd origional, but still poor.


"Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning
Over the hills a swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness, waking the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

Witness the man who waves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun"
