}} "Paint Box" is a song by the psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, written and sung by keyboardist Richard Wright. It was first released in 1967 as the B-side to the single "Apples and Oranges". ==Lyrics and music== Musical features of the song include its long drum fills by Nick Mason, and a piano solo by Wright, which is panned around the stereo spectrum. Wright also doubles on tack piano in addition to the ordinary acoustic piano. The song's lyrics begin with ''"Last night I had too much to drink / Sitting in a club with so many fools",'' and feature an ambivalent chorus: ''"I open the door to an empty room / Then I forget".'' The song is the first of many Pink Floyd songs to prominently feature an E minor added ninth chord.〔''Pink Floyd: Anthology'' (1980 Warner Bros. Publications, Inc., Secaucus N.J.)〕 This chord would become a signature aspect of their better-known material: It opens ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' with "Breathe".〔''Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon'' (1973 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England, ISBN 0-7119-1028-6 (ISBN 0-8256-1078-8 ))〕 It is prominent in "Welcome to the Machine" from ''Wish You Were Here'', where it alternates with a C Major seventh chord for most of the song.〔''Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here'' (1975 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England, ISBN 0-7119-1029-4 (ISBN 0-8256-1079-6 ))〕 "Dogs" from ''Animals'' centers around the chord as played on down-tuned guitars, resulting in a concert pitch of D minor ninth.〔''Pink Floyd: Animals'' (1977 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England, ISBN 0-7119-1030-8 (ISBN 0-8256-1077-X ))〕〔''Guitar World'' magazine, Volume 22, Number 11, November 2002.〕 It appeared again in "Hey You" and "Vera" from ''The Wall''.〔''Pink Floyd: The Wall'' (1980 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England, ISBN 0-7119-1031-6 (ISBN 0-8256-1076-1 ))〕 It would appear in no less than four songs from ''The Final Cut'': "Your Possible Pasts"; "The Hero's Return"; "The Gunner's Dream"; and "The Fletcher Memorial Home".〔''Pink Floyd: The Final Cut'' (1983 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England.)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paint Box (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
