Pink Floyd – See Emily Play
An evening pause: The link calls this the official video, remastered in 2011. The style and look of the filming however fits the 1960s to a T.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Whoops!
BBC must have pulled down this version in just the past few weeks, cuz I downloaded the file in April.
Nifty little Floyd tune, harkens back to a simpler time in some respects, excepting the whole “lose your mind today..” motif, har.
(There were some other lower-quality & edited versions at youtube, no clue how vigilant the copyright-police have been.)
Unfortunately, I am on the road, so fixing this is difficult if not impossible. Oh well. If you can find this video on youtube and post the link as a comment, I might be able to fix the post. At a minimum this will provide people access to it.
I think this is an alternate link to Pink Floyd – See Emily Play.
That’s the song, but it isn’t the video that Wayne suggested. The video was a very 1960s avant-garde type surreal film, far better than this production which just shows the band hamming it up on a grassy field.
Have to try it on a VPN.
Don’t have one set up here but maybe I’ll have a chance in a few days.
Looks like the BBC has scrubbed them all —the particular version in question— off of youtube.

Thanks for your effort!
If you notice, for the version you found, is the exact same background location for a number of short WHO videos, from that same time period.

>Go for it!
Not sure if it’s just blocked in the USA, or “everywhere.”
Pink Floyd probably the best non-metal band ever, ‘See Emily Play’ http://lyricsmusic.name/pink-floyd-lyrics/relics/see-emily-play.html fantastic song from a classic album.
