original lyrics for echoes
The opening verse of "Echoes" originally had a "space" theme, and several RoIOs exist with these lyrics. One is from the 5 June 1971 Berlin show, available on "Lost in the Corridors" and "Mauerspecte" (which, BTW, has been known to be defective many times, so try before you buy). Another is from a few weeks later; 20 June 1971, at Rome. Neither of these recordings is all that great in terms of sound quality, but taken together we're pretty sure of the following... Planets singing face to face Bound to the air of life, how sweet! If purposely we might embrace The perfect union deep in space Ever might this once relent And give us leave to shine as one Our two lights {singing better}<------------- these two lines are {Than one light can}<---------------------------pretty garbled [1] And in that longing to be one The parting {suns shine as one} [2] I'll see you've got to travel on And on and on, around the sun [1] Our two lights shining better than one light can makes the most sense lyrically. [2] While this line make most sense lyrically, it sometimes sounds as if there is an extra syllable sung. המלים המקוריות echoes אפשר לשמוע דוגמית באתר neptune PF
