Il colore predominante è il verde, luminoso, venato di azzurro, mentre passeggio per il bosco. Odore di terra, di rugiada, di muschio, il fresco dell'erba sotto i piedi nudi.
Entro in una grotta quando nelle mie orecchie risuonano i versi "On a trip to Cirrus Minor Saw a crater in the sun A thousand miles of moonlight later", per poi uscirne ed essere irradiato dalla luce dell'organo di Richard Wright.
E allora mi allontano, lasciandomi alle spalle quel luogo ameno, avvolgendomi nei fasci luminosi dei suoni di MORE, in un susseguirsi di gialli ("The Nile Song"), arancioni ("Crying Song"), verdi ("Green Is The Color"), azzurri ("Cymbaline"), rossi ("Main Theme"), blu ("More Blues"), per poi ritornare nello spazio nero e semi-vuoto della propria solita coscienza ("Dramatic Theme"), o forse no...
Forse ora mi sento un po' più ricco di prima....

01 Cirrus Minor (05:15)
In a churchyard by a river,
Lazing in the haze of midday,
Laughing in the grasses and the graze.
Yellow bird, you are alone
In singing and in flying on,
In laughing and in leaving.
Willow weeping in the water,
Waving to the river daughters,
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds.
On a trip to Cirrus Minor,
Saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later.
02 The Nile Song (03:24)
I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile.
I would take her out for a while,
For a while.
Oh, my tears wept like a child.
How her golden hair was blowing wild.
Then she spread her wings to fly,
For to fly.
Soaring high above the breezes,
Going always where she pleases.
She will make it to the islands in the sun.
I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window.
One day I will catch her eye.
She is calling from the deep,
Summoning my soul to endless sleep.
She is bound to drag me down,
Drag me down.
06 Cymbaline (04:47)
The path you tread is narrow
And the drop is sheer and very high
The ravens all are watching
From a vantage point nearby
Apprehension creeping
Like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end?
Will the final couplet rhyme?
And it's high time...
Cymbaline
Yes it's high time...
Cymbaline
Please wake me
A butterfly with broken wings
Is falling by your side
The ravens all are closing in
And there's nowhere you can hide
Your manager and agent
Are both busy on the phone
Selling coloured photographs
To magazines back home
And it's high time...
Cymbaline
Yes it's high time...
Cymbaline
Please wake me
The lines converging where you stand
They must have moved the picture plane
The leaves are heavy round your feet
You hear the thunder of the train
Suddenly it strikes you
That they're moving into range
And Doctor Strange is always changing size
And it's high time...
Cymbaline
Yes it's high time...
Cymbaline
Please wake me
And it's high time...
Cymbaline
Yes it's high time...
Cymbaline
Please wake me
09 Ibiza Bar (03:16)
I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I made
Taking every time that I wake
I feel like a hard-boiled and cut-up man
So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind
Are days are made since the first page
I've lived every line that you wrote
Take me down, take me down, from the shelf above your head
So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind
And if I live on the shelf like the rest
And if love bleeds like a sad song
Please pick-up your camera and use me again
So give me a time when the countries will lie on the storyline if kind
Yea
12 A Spanish Piece (01:05)
Pass the tequila, Manuel
(glug, snort)
Listen, gringo, laugh at my lisp and I kill you
I think
This Spanish music
It sets my soul on fire
Lovely seniorita
Your eyes are like stars
Your teeth are like pearls
Your ruby lips

Di David Bowie
In 'More' traspare una perfetta coesione tra brani cantati e strumentali, adatti a sottolineare particolari momenti del film di Schroeder.
'Quicksilver' è il brano migliore, da ascoltare assolutamente di notte.
Di pana
"Green is the Colour rappresenta una delle mie canzoni preferite del gruppo londinese"
"un disco che meriti di essere ascoltato e valutato, anche per la sua grandissima varietà di generi musicali"
