Dear forum friends, this is really more of a parody than a tribute-too silly for a tribute. But I had a lot of fun doing it. I think it is remarkable demonstration of the power of BIAB, much more than anything I did. I enjoy listening to those players "jam". It's all BIAB except the arpeggio (I guess that would be the description) synth chords which were done with a plugin (spacing on the name). I will post the RTs later. Comments always encouraged! Take care. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/pinkfloyd-norythmssl IN THE PINK Breathe in, let your spirit free Find your inner light Cast off the problems that weigh you down Let your soul take flight Let your soul take flight Set the controls for the heart of the sun Become one How free you will be Comfortably numb Watch, watch yourself rise Through the atmosphere Your hands like two balloons The view is coming clear From the dark side of the moon You will see that a wall exists Between their side and ours

Fantastic Greg. I really liked the mirroring with the echos, well balanced. David Gilmour would be happy with your tribute, I'm sure.
The sax solo and guitar work fits really well.
Overall a great 'haunting' delivery. The long Fade-out at end was a perfect way for closing this song.
Another winner.

Greg, PeterF wrote Very clever - (made me want to solo over it) - and nicely written. Yes that certainly needs a real guitar player exploring our emotions. It's all BIAB except the arpeggio (I guess that would be the description) synth chords which were done with a plugin (spacing on the name) A cryptic sentence, what did you use?? Marvellous vocals as usual from you. enjoyed, Alyn

Noel Love the over use of the echo on the vocals. Mood plus more mood. This is excellent. This reminds me of Super Tramp. Well done. Rob.

A great job on capturing the vibe. Outstanding job and super job on the vocals and effects. In my opinion, your voice is one of the best here on the forum. There is a purity there that separates you and pushes you up to the top of the pack. I always look forward to your posts.

Charlie +1, I have always thought that same thing regarding your vocals. Guitar and sax work very well. Nicely arranged and produced. I do not have much experience listening to Pink Floyd but if they sound anything remotely like this I missed the boat. Another superior sounding post! Tom

This is cool..
I would have been happy to contribute my meager guitar skills to that solo. It would have been a blast. The RT did a good job but.......
I started a tune a few years back..... then realized it sounded a lot like a Pink Floyd tune....so I changed a few chords and realized shortly after that it now sounded like a Mott The Hoople song.... since I couldn't seem to win for losing, and couldn't beat them....I decided to join them....and went on to do an amazingly accurate (to the original) Mott cover song using BB. It's still on my regular play list in my MP3 player and one of my favorites. I'll see if I can find it and figure a way to post it somewhere that inquiring folks might be able to "mistakenly" find.

Hi Greg,
you better call it a tribute than a parody.
It's a fantastic song and you really caught
the vibe. Great vocals and a good choice
of RTs.
I really enjoyed listening.

Greg, This is a song about astral projection, right  You're raising that bar into the atmosphere! Excellent everything. Vocal, arrangement, production, mix - all stellar. A cool write. Wonderful melody. The sax sounds great. And no butt about it, the guitar is tasty... Stunning. floyd

Greg, you've done a wonderful job writing this tribute and putting it together. Loved the RT's you used and you sound great doing it. (I'm assuming no period Hookah was involved except of course for medicinal purposes...just kidding. LOL!)

Hi there Greg,
we are very familiar with the original 'Breathe' and a big fan of David Gilmour's vocals. I must say you've captured that Floyd sound very nicely.
The same goes for Dave's voice and his specific lead guitar sound.
Good work!
Rob and Anne-Marie

Clever and well done. As already mentioned, you really got the vibe down, including the vocals.

A beautiful take on the old Floyd which was my favourite band for many years.
Particularly fine vocal. Cheers.
