This is classic Pink Floyd, dressed up as new, but come on, it’s still the Floyd. How can I not like it?
The video itself is stunningly beautiful.
This is the first version I ever heard of this song, and it is still my preferred one.

Expression is far more than cartoons or songs or films or poetry or paintings and sculpture. Expression, ideal expression is lived out in real time. It’s our actions that carry more weight than our words.
Ridicule, derision and the violent consequences that often result are never the answer we search for.
Our answers lie in enlightenment, enlightenment and enlightenment.
Blindness and Sight, this is the world we live in. How do we make man see through the darkness?
There are pockets of seers amidst vast graveyards of blind men.
Burning crosses do not lighten the darkness.
