The first of June 1973 you fell from the third floor...
your 'moon in June' shattered.
Sitting down, it's not comfortable to watch the world!!
But what a view you pulled out... Rock Bottom.
Sea song... 'your skin shining softly in moonlight' what light emerges from this song... if you look into someone's eyes while 'sea song' plays, you might fall in love..
And then you delve into sounds that touch, it has been said so many times, that touch the fibers of the soul, the most 'aching' part of it... it has been said because it is simply, damn true.
But it is at the end that you remain nailed to the chair, to the armchair, to yourself... because in 'little red riding hood hit the road' there's a run, a mad, desperate, incredibly fast run... without legs... and you realize that this is not just for a man who fell from the third floor on the first of June 1973, but it applies a little bit to you too.

By Saint Huck
Rock Bottom is a dive into the soul, a descent into the depths of our consciousness, as dark and mysterious as those of an ocean.
Some albums must be lived before they are heard.
By velvetunderground
Listening to this album feels like being in a dark and lost forest, full of many fairies, some good, some chasing you to wake you from the nightmare.
The soft initial keyboard that opens 'Sea Song,' seemingly calm and blessed, drags the listener into absolute unease.
By nick the piper
Rock Bottom travels on other tracks, it lives on its own light in a unique dimension, that of a man who has laid bare his soul and made it available to mankind.
It is only through an emotional journey that man can approach perfection, purity, drawing from the soul the material to be shaped with the body.
By fuggitivo
"It’s the inevitable fulcrum of rock history, and any assessment of what came before and what came after is, in one way or another, traced back to this album."
Without realizing that the only "plot twist" is death. I conclude by thanking Robert Wyatt, who has made me a "happy" person and no longer alone.
By tonysoprano
"Rock Bottom is the ultimate representation of man in an inner dimension."
"Wyatt teaches us many things, but above all, the most important lesson is: NEVER GIVE UP ON LIFE."
