roger waters saw it all
very early on
decades ago animals was released
and today it sounds all the more vital
this is not an album to take lightly
it’s a serious piece of work
lyrically sharp and strong
sonically it’s a stunning landscape of thought and sound
when i sing dogs
i get a tangible shiver
the power of the song resonating in me
i feel like news reporter
telling it like it is
i can’t think of pink floyd
without being reminded of my dear friend nicole
i put her on the dark side show
she was unfamiliar with the album
she called me soon after and said
that dark side mirrored exactly where she was with her life
it embodied all she felt and lived at that moment
wow
that is a testament to and enduring work
decades after it’s release it finds a warm soul and connects
i feel that way about animals
i feel like this is the time for this album
rob phillips knows all this
and he will ably lead CAL through the 3 different acts within this album
i urge everyone to visit and revisit this album
giving it attention will be more thoughtfully rewarding
than any book you read
or any movie you see this coming week
and what a week to come
i send love to everyone’s family

coffee and toast with jam
