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.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
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.
