Echoes, Fearless and Pillow of Winds make the Meddle one of the best rock albums ever. Great to see a young band knows this and that the crowd 52 years later knows this.

As I've grown, Meddle has slowly and deliberately become my favorite Floyd album. At the same time real artists that keep it real, gritty, original and full of passion for actual music like Billy, Shakey Graves, Murder by Death, Jack White ( to name just a few ) have given me hope that auto tune will disappear with AI. Hopefully

I have always Loved this song, glad to see it covered, your rendition is close to perfection. You say the hill's too steep to climb, chiding You say you'd like to see me try climbing You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait awhile for the right day And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown? Go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone...
