The story behind the song

This song captures the feeling of escaping the daily grind and finding solace in love. It speaks of a narrator who is "wasting his time" and "resting his mind," choosing to spend moments with a beloved and leave behind the "bad days" of working from nine to five. Originally an unreleased recording from 1969, it was part of the band's early concept piece, The Man and The Journey, where it was known as "Afternoon." The track features a unique touch with keyboardist Rick Wright playing the trombone. It plays like a gentle reflection on valuing personal connection over the demands of everyday life.
