David Gilmour: gitaar en zang Romany Gilmour: harp en achtergrond zang John McCusker: viool Songtekst: The heat of the sun stayed on through the night Made spectres of strangers playing games with my sight I passed through the station, a face in the crowd The whistle was blowing, the barrier came down There was my baby, in another’s embrace I called out her name in shame and disgrace Yes, I have ghosts, not all of them dead Making dust of my dreams, spinning round and around Around in my head Train on the tracks, teeth of the zip The slider moves down, we were joined at the hip Stealing the groove, the widening gap Unfastening rails from a past with no map Yes, I have…
Yet Another Movie Informatie: Lyrics/Muziek: David Gilmour, Patrick Leonard Zang: David Gilmour Terug te vinden op: A Momentary Lapse Of Reason A Delicate Sound Of Thunder Shine On Songtekst: One sound, one single sound One kiss, one single kiss, A face outside the window pane, However did it come to this? A man who ran: a child who cried A girl who heard, avoice that lied The sun that burned a fiery red The vision of an empty bed The use of force, he was so tough She’ll soon submit, she’s had enough The march of fate, the broken will Someone is lying very still He has laughed and he has cried He has fought and he has died He’s just the same as all the rest, He’s not the worst, he’s not the best And still this ceaseless murmuring, The babbling that I brook, The seas of faces, eyes upraised The empty screen, the vacant look A man in black on a snow white horse, A pointless life has run its course, The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run As he fades into the setting sun

You Know I’m Right Informatie: Lyrics/Muziek: David Gilmour Terug te vinden op: About Face Songtekst: You can scream and shout with all your might Dig in your heels and hold on tight Either You are wrong or I am right You speak the lines you’ve overheard The ring of truth in every word You know you’re right and that’s absurd We really seem to have a problem here but is it you or me? Whatever I have going through my mind you always have to disagree It’s just a matter of opinions It’s not a simple fact Why don’t you try to see the other side? Don’t turn your back Now we survey this silent battleground Recriminations all around And still no compromise is found Now we really seem to have a problem and it won’t just disappear And all the friends we thought we could rely on just want to whisper in my ear “It’s just a matter of opinions You know you keep both in sight Why should you bother with the other side When you know yours is right.”

Your Possible Pasts Informatie: Lyrics/Muziek: Roger Waters Zang: Roger Waters Michael Kamen – elektrische piano en orkestraties Andy Bown – Hammond orgel Ray Cooper – percussie Volgens mij gaat het hier om geweten, verborgen emoties en verontschuldigingen. Over het verleden en de eerste vers verwoord volgens mij ook de deportaties van de Joden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog: In derelict sidings the poppies entwine with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time Het na-oorlogse “macht en bezit spel”. Hoe iemand zich verontschuldigt voor de wijze van handelen door die generatie, door te zeggen “”I was just a child then, now I’m only a man” Toen was hij een kind en nu kan hij het als man ook niet meer terug draaien. “feelings run deep and cold as the clay” heeft te maken met verborgen emoties, diep begraven en onderdrukt. dan “do you remember me…” alsof de emoties uit de kindertijd probeert te herrijzen en je zegt “hé, ik ben het, je verborgen ermoties, herrinner je mij nog? waarom onderdruk je mij? wordt het niet eens tijd om je schouders onder je problemen te zetten in plaats van ze te verbergen? (“dont you think we should be closer?”) “tongue tied…
