"Overhead, the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine" First up: Pink Floyd - Echoes (live at Pompeii, 1971): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2pTamaqQ4 #Birds #Juk...
