This is the first song I really love on “The Division Bell”. “Poles Apart” starts off with a line obviously about their old band mate, Syd Barrett and in the second verse Roger Waters is noted. You have to respect a band that does not forget or disregard their past even when it is painful.
The song at mid point has a circus sound to it that has me taking a double take every time. After a few moments the song starts up again. This is actually quite a sad song and Syd Barrett's memory is intertwined throughout the lyric.
