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.

Let There Be More Lights
Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People heard him say, say
I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done
Then at last, the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
At Mildenhall
Now, now, now
Is the time, time, time
To be, be, be aware
Carter's father saw it there
And knew the road revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh, my, something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky
Oh, oh, did you ever know, know
Never ever will they
I can't say
Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his clothes
His psychic emanations flowed
The song Let There Be More Light by Pink Floyd is an interesting blend of a sci-fi story blended with social commentary. The opening lyrics seem to feature a far-away protagonist who promises to find a way to bring change and create a better future. The lyrics describe a mighty ship descending from the sky and making contact with the human race at Mildenhall. The ship reveals Lucy in the sky, which seems to indicate a possible extraterrestrial character.
The lyrics move to a sense of immediacy present in the second verse, with an urgency to be aware of the current situation. Carter's father is mentioned as seeing the ship and knowing a secret road that revealed to him the living soul of Hereward the Wake. There is also a fleeting reference to something being in the eye, possibly indicating something that is hard to see or comprehend.
The final verse of the song features an individual who is summoning cosmic powers and glowing slightly from his clothes. There is a sense that this character is sending out psychic emanations to impact those around him. The song seems to be a reflection on society's current state, and how change can happen in unexpected ways. It also touches on themes of spiritual awakening and connectedness to the universe.

Far, far, far away, way
From a great distance, a voice spoke
People heard him say, say
The voice was heard by many
I will find a way, way
The singer promises to discover a resolution
There will come a day, day
The artist anticipates that a day will come
Something will be done
The artist expects progress to occur towards a solution
Then at last, the mighty ship
Then, at last, a massive spacecraft appeared
Descending on a point of flame
The spacecraft landed in a burst of fire
Made contact with the human race
The spacecraft made contact with humanity
At Mildenhall
This contact took place near Mildenhall, a town in England
Now, now, now
The time has come for action
Is the time, time, time
It is the right time to take action
To be, be, be aware
Be mindful and attentive
Carter's father saw it there
Carter's father saw the spacecraft
And knew the road revealed to him
He understood what he had to do
The living soul of Hereward the Wake

Oh, my, something in my eye, eye
Oh, my, something is obstructing my vision
Something in the sky, sky
The obstruction is in the sky
Waiting there for me
It appears to be waiting for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The outside layer opened gradually
The service men were heard to sigh
The service personnel breathed out audibly
For there revealed in glowing robes
The reason behind their sighing was a glowing being
Was Lucy in the sky
It was Lucy, appearing to them from above
Oh, oh, did you ever know, know
Oh, oh, did you ever realize?
Never ever will they
They will never be able to
I can't say
The singer is unable to explain why.
Summoning his cosmic powers
The singer uses their cosmic abilities
And glowing slightly from his clothes
They radiate slightly from their clothing.
His psychic emanations flowed
His supernatural energies are radiating outward.

People heard him say, say
Something will be done
Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race
And melted hearts
Now, now, now is the time, time
Time to be, be, be aware
Carter's father saw him there and
Knew the road revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh, my, something in the sky, sky
Something in my eye, eye
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky
Oh, oh, did you ever know, know
Never ever will they
I cannot say
Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his clothes
His psychic emanations flowed
@fitchkou
This video's quality is even better than the 80s live. LOL.
@trinitron384
Yeah, during the age of video tape it was easy for tape reels to get worn out over time causing distortion and color loss. At least with film, if stored right the picture comes out pretty good. How they digitize the film/video also comes into play.
@OsbalDoee
@dariusWWI and WWII files are better than the The Wall tour files
@denizcansevercevirileri
Mypp
@ThomasWohlke
The Track is from 1968 ... LOL
@zdrkp2878
@Osvaldo Salazar dont you know the reason why
@JasonNation72
You don't see too many bass players carry an intro riff into a song like that. Well played, Waters!
@hariomvishwakarma1403
It's like master of puppets by metallica
What you think?
@aarongonzales1350
@Hariom Vishwakarma not even close
@UziDoesIt8818
Pink Floyd and Metallica are two very different genres. Cliff Burton was a good bass guitarist but definitely not as good as Roger Waters or other greats that came out during the late 60s through the 70s.
