Song lyrics
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

(Instrumental)

Wow. I just listened for the "If you can hear this line you're dying" & I literally got chills when I heard it.

This song is so true.
I love Pink Floyd, they're simply amazing!

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."
Is meant to say that we're all dying, whether you accept the fact or not. Living is dying. I personally hear it said every time I listen to the song. It's said around 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the song, in a girl's voice. All of Floyd's song's are great. If you play the DSOTM when you watch The Wizard of Oz, the cd interacts with the movie. Here's the list of connections. http://members.cox.net/stegokitty/dsotr_pages/definitive_list.htm

Forgot to rate. Only put an average for the lyrics because there aren't really any but even with the lack of lyrics it still makes much more sense than most songs out today

Damn that girl can vocalise!! Awesome song to tune out to all your worries in the world and just listen to her. So much pain, so much sadness, yet I always feel somewhat happier after listening to this track

I agree. sadly, no one seems to really talk about it . the lyrics (or the lack of them) are good too. Love this song. Pink Floyd kick ass.

fabulous haunting wailing vocals, never was so much pain and emotion portrayed in a song without the use of words
