Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
The opening lyrics of ‘Learning to Fly’ by hugely influential English band Pink Floyd, from their album A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ (1987).

My brother loves Pink Floyd, I enjoy listening to their music, too. I find their words so lyrical and poetic! Nice one to feature, Alex!
Thanks. Do you have any favourites among them?
