about

This song has haunted me ever since i saw the film "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" when i was 12. Finally made a trip to Pompeii in 2019, and to my astonishment Echoes was playing in the hallways of the ancient amphitheater! I couldn't stop singing it until after i got home to California when my friend Zach Madden gave me the the brilliant wacky idea to do a cover version the way i always wanted to hear it. Spent the better part of 9 months putting it together when i had time. Enjoy if you dare.
(Download and listen, it sounds much better that way!)

lyrics

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
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light

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?
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

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
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
