V)? The only authoritative sources I can find for the composition is "Waters, Gilmour, Wright" for all 9 parts. Where does this information come from (eg. dharmabum 20:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC) Composers for the various parts of the song? As you can see from my Wiktionary link above, "On" is not functioning as a preposition here, but as an adverb modifying the verb "Shine". The rules of capitalizing in titles indicate that articles, prepositions and conjunctions should not be capitalized. Personally, I think the article should have the "O" capitalized as it makes more sense, but if wiki-rules are to the contrary then whatever. Well, okay, now it's "Shine on", so someone should go through the article and change it accordingly.
Finally, I think Waters or Gilmour would have revealed such a startling tidbit by now. I would bet it's Gilmour - or else, as you indicated, Roger The Hat from "On The Run". Plus, Syd was a baritone, with a rather nasal tone, and this chuckle sounds very tenor and breathy. Nor do I think Syd had much laughter in him by 1974. In his last studio appearance, Syd couldn't be bothered to bring a guitar that had strings on it, so I can't see him laughing on cue into the mike.

Sasuke Sarutobi 00:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC) Laughter at 08:48 ĭoes anyone know whether this is Syd laughing or not? It sounds vaguely similar to the laughter on The Dark Side of the Moon, but I'm not sure. I'm No Parking and I approved this message Grrr. The FAQ says it is called "Take it from Here", so I guess that it's inaccurate on that point.

I think the program referred to is probably Take It From Here, a 1950s BBC radio comedy program, which always started with a four equal-duration-note motif played on glockenspiel that does indeed have similar (not identical) melodic shape and roughly the same rhythmic shape and speed. The article states Syd's theme came from a BBC program, "Take it from there". A Knight Who Says Ni ( talk) 01:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Take It From There
It's possible early copies of the album had mixed-up credits in various countries. I've seen this discussion before, and went to check my copy, but then remembered mine doesn't have credits. did you know the original Canadian edition of the LP just says "all lyrics by Roger Waters" on the innersleeve, and has no other composition credits on the label or cover? I'm not sure that's significant enough for the article, but at least it's here now on the talk page. Which country is your vinyl version from? My UK vinyl copy credits Waters for part V and Wright for part IX as does the original, official songbook.NH 78.147.104.165 ( talk) 18:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC) My viynl version says part 5 was (gilmour waters wright)not (waters) I think I used to play this part in three-four maybe. I DIDN'T MEAN SYD DIED OMG! I meant it was thought of as a kind-of funeral dirge. A slow 4/4 funeral march (9:08) becomes the parting musical eulogy to Syd." "The last section (coda), 'Part IX', is introduced by a synth pedal point, which grows in volume as the previous goove dissipates. I think the first part lasts 13 minutes and 30 seconds, not 34.ġ3 and 34 is for a live version of the first part.
