Projekt info

Wat is ZEE?

Zee is de naam van een eenmalige samenwerking tussen Richard Wright en Dave Harris, in de periode dat hij tijdelijk geen deel uitmaakte van Pink Floyd. De titel van het album is Identity.

Wat is een Fairlight?

De Fairlight was, ten tijde van het maken van Identity, een synthesisertechnologie, die o.a. ook gebruikt is bij de titelsong van de tv-serie "Miami Vice". Deze sythesiser wordt zeer intensief gebruikt op Identity, die het album een elektronisch geluid geeft.

Richard Wright omschrijft dit album als zijn "expirimentale misstap" , misschien vanwege het intensieve gebruik van de Fairlight, die bij sommige luisteraars onaantrekkelijk kan klinken. Wright verklaarde tevens dat dit projekt een expiriment met nieuwe technologie was. Het album is nooit op CD uitgekomen.

Songteksten

Confusion

You know I stand in disbelief
I find strange consolation in your leaving
Life's so supernatural
Cannot survive forever without breathing
You can't live without disguise
And understand your mind
You can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion

The stories that you tell to me
Are figments of your own imagination
People you pretend to be
Will you behold in fascination
'Til you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion

And where to go you go from there
It's your confusion
Alone inside your fantasy
You're 'fraid to leave your plastic situation
but still you find it hard to see
that this was meant to be your destination
'Til you can live without disguise
And understand your mind
And you can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion

And where to go you go from there
It's your confusion

'Til you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion

Where do you go from there
Nowhere
Confusion


Voices

Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Within your soul,
you feel them burning,
they take control in you
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you

Voices insisting,
reminding, resisting
The way you feel,
although you have to play,
you find parity by listening to...
Voices inside you,
they reason, they guide you
If you believe,
in what you want to be,
you'll find your destiny by listening to voices
Voices that call you, through feelings inside you

Voices insisting,
reminding, resisting
The way you feel,
all though you have to play,
you find parity by listening to...
Voices inside you,
they reason, they guide you
If you believe,
in what you want to be,
you'll find your destiny by listening to voices
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you


Private Person

We may talk but you don't listen
You twist a tale,
you'll lose the comprehension
Seems communication's missing
And everything I say
Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing

You seem to draw your own conclusions
'Bout what you need,
and what you think and feel
Understanding your illusions,
I feel nothing

We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private

You seem to draw your own conclusions
'Bout what you need,
and what you think and feel
Understanding your illusions,
I feel nothing

Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing
Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing

We may talk but you don't listen
You twist a tale,
you'll do the comprehension
Seems communication's missing
And everything I say

We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
Someday


Strange Rhythm

Strange rhythm running through my vein
I try to stop my feet but I've got
Strange rhythm, got strange rhythm

Strange feeling seem to take me
Strange feeling, seems to make me miss
Seems to make me miss a beat
Strange feeling deep within my soul
I try to understand but I've got
Strange feeling, got strange feeling

Strange rhythm seem to take me
Strange rhythm, seems to take me
Strange rhythm, seems, seems to make me
Makes me miss a beat
Strange, but I can't help the feeling
Strange, I feel, I feel, I feel
Strange, maybe you can hear a
Strange rhythm, strange

Strange rhythm,
I feel, I feel, I feel
Strange rhythm,
I try to understand but I've got, I've got
Strange feeling,
stange but I can't help the feeling
Strange, I feel, I feel
Strange, maybe maybe you can hear a
Strange
Strange
Strange


Cuts Like a Diamond

Awake in the night,
with head on your pillow
Touching your hair,
clutching your soul
A shape in the light,
a glow in the mirror
No goodbye,
leaving you cold
She takes a life,
a flip knife
She cuts like a diamond

The look in your eyes,
the way that you're feeling
The more that you try,
the more that you show
You're losing control
of all you were dreaming
She's breaking me down,
by letting me know
She takes a life, a flip knife
She cuts like a diamond

Awake in the night,
with head on your pillow (Deep like a diamond)
Touches your hair,
clutches your soul (Deep like a diamond)
A shape in the light,
a glow in the mirror (Deep like a diamond)
She takes a life
She takes a flat knife
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond

She takes a flat knife
She cuts like a diamond
Diamond, diamond
She cuts like a diamond


By Touching

[Mechanical voice:] By touching---and illuminate it--in the---box--with the---light pen...*

Used to be glad,
I heard her soothe your feelings
Seemed the perfect situation
Feeling different,
Seems they're moving in
Circumstantial complication

Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us

By surviving, revitalizing
We'll stop the fighting

Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us

A new direction,
a different understanding
An electric education
While the system,
program--close your eyes and
You forgot our desperation

Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us

By surviving, revitalizing
We'll stop the fighting

Used to be glad,
I heard her soothe your feelings
Seemed the perfect situation
Feeling different,
Seems they're moving in
Circumstantial complication
A new direction,
a different understanding
An electric education
While the system,
program--close your eyes and
You forgot our desperation

How Do You Do It

She's elusive
You watch her moving
Leaves destruction
Leaves you bleeding
Makes you feel things
Your concentration
Lose control
Lose the meaning

Mystifying
Strange attraction
Snaps her fingers
Sees you crawling
Condescending
She knows the answer
Cuts the string
Stops you falling

How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't

Explanation untold reactions
She sees the change
Sees you turning
Sympathizing
She keeps her distance
You feel the flame
You feel it burning

How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't

She's elusive
You watch her moving
Leaves destruction
Leaves you bleeding
Makes you feel things
Your concentration
Lose control
Lose the meaning

How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't

How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't


Seems We Were Dreaming

When you go to sleep
Your life is a picture
Pictures you're dreaming
Seems we were deaming

Secrets you've been keeping
Sleeping on your mind
Let me close my eyes
To see what I'm feeling
Feel what I'm needing
When you go to sleep
In my head is a picture
Pictures we're dreaming
Seems we were dreaming
Pictures
Pictures

Let me close my eyes
To see what I'm feeling
Feel what I'm needing
Seems we were deaming
Pictures
Secrets you've been keeping
Sleeping on your mind
When you go to sleep
In my head is a picture
Pictures we're dreaming
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
See what I'm feeling


Eyes of a Gypsy

Oooh Gypsy

She knows the meaning of life
Knows what the future will hold
Secrets inside the eyes of a gypsy

Stories that play with your mind
Reasons with no explanation
Things that you find through the eyes of a gypsy

Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy

She knows the meaning of life
Knows what the future is holding
Secrets inside the eyes of a gypsy

Maybe a gypsy will do what she says
Maybe a gypsy with serious ways
And see what you're feeling by reading inside
Your secret emotions controlling your mind

Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy

Stories that play with your mind
Reasons with no explanation
Things that you find through the eyes of a gypsy

Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy

Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy

Maybe a gypsy will do what she says
Maybe a gypsy with serious ways
And see what you're feeling by reading inside
Your secret emotions controlling you
