Composition
It is the third Pink Floyd song written solely by Richard Wright, the second on the album as such, and features Wright on lead vocals and piano, Farfisa organ, xylophone and Mellotron. On the recording sheet, the song is listed as "The Most Boring Song I've Ever Heard Bar Two".[2] David Gilmour uses a wah-wah pedal on his electric guitar and possibly contributes backing vocals.
Lyrics
It's theorized that the song tells of a strangely troubled brother-sister relationship; the loss of a child, the sister killing the brother, from the lyrics of "Sits on a stick in the river, sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit, he doesn't know, so then, she goes up, while he goes down;" Or simply the loss of childhood, similar to the previous song on the album "Remember a Day," which was also written and sung by Wright.[3][4]
Reception
In a review for A Saucerful of Secrets, Jim Miller of Rolling Stone described "See-Saw" as "a ballad scored vocally in a style incongruously reminiscent of Ronny and the Daytonas."[5]

[es] See-Saw
«See-Saw» es una canción del álbum de 1968 de Pink Floyd, A Saucerful of Secrets. Es la tercera canción de Pink Floyd escrita únicamente por Richard Wright, y la segunda del álbum en incluir a Wright en la voz. Su atmósfera, tono y contenido lírico (rememberanza de una infancia idílica) se asemeja a la otra composición de Wright del álbum, "Remember a Day", aunque el tono en general de la canción es más obscuro y deprimente.
