Talk:Speak to Me

Quotes
What are the exact quotes of the spoken word loops. "I've always be mad. I know I've been mad..." etc.

And who said them? Some were outlined, but I wonder if there's any way to find out what they each say and who said them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.20.74.62 (talk • contribs)


 * I could swear the voice says "working my buns off for bands" not "buns off for roger" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.110.3 (talk • contribs)


 * The quote: "I've been mad for fucking years...." is Floyd roadie Chris Adamson. The next quote, "I've always been mad...." is Abbey Road doorman, Gerry O'Driscoll, and the "Loony laugh", as the Floyd called it was the late Peter Watts, Floyd roadie and technician. The screams are Clare Torry's, lifted from Great Gig, but don't tell anyone as she might want royalties for "Speak to Me", too.NH89.240.224.186 (talk) 01:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Question to the natives: Is it "I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years. I've been over the edge for yonks. It's working with the band so long, I think..." like stated in the article or "working me buns off for bands" like shown above. I always thought the latter version was right. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  21:15, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I originally made the change to "For Roger". Turn it up reeeeeallly loud, and it is clearly not "for bands". Roger is what is sounds closest to and would make sense if Waters was the type of guy the rest of the band makes him out to be. Most lyric sites will claim the buns for bands wording instead. - Floydian (talk) 20:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Writing credit
On some recordings the song is credited to Mason; on others to Mason/Waters, or, Waters/Mason. Can anyone clear this up?Mk5384 (talk) 10:01, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

"Most later releases
I was trying to track down the number of tracks on Dark Side, since my version combined Speak to Me and Breathe as one track. This article claims "most later releases" combine them, but casting around both this wiki and an online sales site, this doesn't appear to be correct. Can anyone shed light on how many tracks a typical present day publication of Dark Side of the Moon will be listed as having? 203.97.134.50 (talk) 23:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Lyrics?
I think the lyrics are needed. Pb8bije6a7b6a3w (talk) 18:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
