Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18, sung by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
Since this blog is a lab of experimental creativity, I don’t typically post links to other people’s work, particularly somebody as famous as David Gilmour. However, I found this in the discussion forum in the Songwriting class, and I thought this was worth sharing, particularly for my Modpo compadres.
Too bad Roger, Richard, Nick, and the flying pigs weren’t available.

What you did not build up, you cannot tear down.
Well that was weird. Not the song, but that I had tears in my eyes when it was over. The sonnet has always been a favorite, and David Gilmour’s voice conjured up all sorts of (mostly) pleasant memories. Thank you for posting this, even if I do feel like a sentimental old fool right now.
That’s how I felt too when I heard it. It really moved me. That Will Shakespeare guy is not half bad a songwriter!
~smile~ Then I’m in good company.
Some might say otherwise! 😉
