Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and the successful debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The musical film based on The Wall, Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), won two BAFTA Awards. Pink Floyd also composed several film scores.
Following personal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright. They produced two more albums—A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994)—and toured in support of both before entering a long hiatus. In 2005, all but Barrett reunited for a one-off performance at the global awareness event Live 8. Barrett died in 2006, and Wright in 2008. The last Pink Floyd studio album, The Endless River (2014), was based on unreleased material from the Division Bell recording sessions. In 2022, Gilmour and Mason reformed Pink Floyd to release the song "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!" in protest of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and these albums and Wish You Were Here are among the best-selling albums of all time. Four Pink Floyd albums topped the US Billboard 200, and five topped the UK Album Chart. Pink Floyd's hit singles include "See Emily Play" (1967), "Money" (1973), "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979), "Not Now John" (1983), "On the Turning Away" (1987) and "High Hopes" (1994). They were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2008, Pink Floyd were awarded the Polar Music Prize in Sweden for their contribution to modern music.

Julia Dream
Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lighter than an eiderdown
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches round
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Find me where I'm hiding
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
Will the misty master break me
Will the key unlock my mind
Will the following footsteps catch me
Am I really dying
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
The lyrics of Pink Floyd's "Julia Dream" are open to interpretation, but one possible interpretation is the story of a man who is in love with a woman named Julia. She is his dream girl, and he waits for her every night, hoping that she will come to him. He imagines her as the "dreamboat queen" and "queen of all my dreams". However, there is a sense of uncertainty and fear in the lyrics.
The man is afraid that he will never be able to have Julia, that she will instead be taken away by someone else. He is also afraid of the unknown, of what lies ahead of him. He wonders whether the "misty master" will break him, whether the key will unlock his mind, and whether the following footsteps will catch him. These fears and uncertainties are heightened by the dreamlike imagery of the lyrics, with references to sunlight on a pillow, a weeping willow, a scaly armadillo, and mist.
Overall, the lyrics of "Julia Dream" suggest a longing for love and a fear of the unknown. It is a dreamlike meditation on the search for meaning and fulfillment in life.

The bright morning sunlight wakes me up from sleep
Lighter than an eiderdown
The sunlight is gentle and soft
Will she let the weeping willow
Will the person I desire allow nature to take its course and make us fall in love?

Will the willow's branches wrap around us like we are meant to be together?

A luz do Sol ilumina meu travesseiro
Mais leve do que um edredom
Desejando que o salgueiro-chorão
Sopre seus ramos ao redor
Julia sonha
Rainha dos sonhos
Rainha de todos os meus sonhos
Todas as noites eu desligo a luz
Esperando pela noiva de veludo
Irá o escamoso tatu
Encontrar-me onde estou escondido?
Julia sonha
Rainha dos sonhos
Rainha de todos os meus sonhos
Irá o misterioso mestre me destruir?
Irá a chave destrancar a minha mente?
Irão as pegadas me alcançar?
Estou mesmo morrendo?
Julia sonha
Rainha dos sonhos
Rainha de todos os meus sonhos

This is why I love early Floyd, there is just nothing like how precious this era was. Pure psychedelia, and childlike fairytales <3 Such blooming minds these legends.

This song was written by Roger Waters. Syd was already gone, though his presence was still keenly felt.@@okantichrist

My Generation Z missed out. The 60s sound like a time should have never existed in the first place. I am distant with modern music filtering.
@gmdssinspector196
Первые песни группы были безумно приятны... Такая мощь- что от нее что мурашки по коже! Спасибо Вам.

I was named after this song and I remember my mom playing when I was a baby. This song makes me sad now. I miss that feeling of being little. No worries. All dreams.

Things can still be magical. I live near Grantchester Meadows. Listen to that song and you can imagine fairies and goblins there Even better if you get the chance to visit. 7am on a summer morning it is awesome.
