[edit] Format

Why does the box on the right give 7" and 12" as formats of the song, when the text says that 'Learning to Fly' was "the first CD-only single"? Seems like a contradiction to me.--[[User:Kabas

did nick play drums on this track(or to rephrase the question what tracks on this LP did he play on?

[edit] Who wrote it?

The main Pink Floyd article says the music for this song was written by Ezrin and Carin. This article says it's written mostly by Gilmour. What's the truth? 74.77.208.52 17:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

We'll probably never know. Everyone involved with AMLoR swears up and down that Gilmour did most of the writing (usually, in the same breath, stating that he's also the nicest guy in the world). But the main chord progression, Jon Carin does take credit for. --63.25.224.152 (talk) 01:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Circle of Life

Can anyone hear the similarities between this song and the Lion King song "Circle of Life"?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.209.233.63 (talk) 00:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg

Image:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] "Musical Composition"

The section titled "Musical composition" had nothing to do with the music or how the song came to be written. Since there's nothing particularly interesting about the music (sure, it's a groovy song, but nothing special musically), I figured it would be easier to re-title the section than re-write it. So I just changed it to "Background". Boooring, I know . . . Sorry. --63.25.224.152 (talk) 01:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
