[edit] Gibberish!

Here's the beginning of the article, as it stands today:

"Let There Be More Light" is the first song on Pink Floyd's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets and seems a sarcastic commentary on the more common perception of the '60s movement which spawned them, or a key figure in that movement. The reference to "the mighty ship" might be best understood by comparing the Jimi Hendrix song, "Up from the Skies", probably a metaphor for something else, not a spaceship, seeing as how the song later mentions "Lucy in the sky".

Not a lick of sense, does this make! And what little I can interpret appears to be POV or original research. --63.25.99.176 (talk) 16:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Waters singing lead? I think not.

The first, gentler vocals are performed by Richard Wright with David Gilmour whispering, the following, harder refrain by Roger Waters.

I challenge the statement that Roger Waters sings the loud section ("Then at last the mighty ship..." and so on.) It sounds like Gilmour. A rough Gilmour, true, but it's him. It's a very powerful vocal, and Waters didn't develop his singing voice to that extent until Wish You Were Here.

In fact, the above quote contradicts the rest of the article. I think the writer just mixed up Waters and Gilmour, so I'm going to reverse them. That way, even if the article's wrong, it'll be uniformly wrong. --63.25.99.176 (talk) 16:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
