The old saying you should never shed light on magic.
Read an interview with the guy who was the engineer on the record.
The 2 solos are iconic but Gilmour never recorded them,he was told to take the day off after dozens of takes and the engineer spliced bits from various solos to make what was on the record.
Gilmor had to learn the solo so he could play it live
 
I just came across this - one of my favourite songs of the past 10 years. It's by Stromae (maestro swapped around), a Belgian singer/songwriter and real showman. I think he's brilliant but unfortunately he overworked (including a 200 date tour) and had a mental breakdown that he's struggled to bounce back from. I'm only posting now because it's the first time I've seen the English subtitles.

This song reminds me of working where they were from; and due to the glories of globalism tearing apart stuff we’d just finished building. Oysters from the shell with chilli, having to keep blinking so the fluid in your eyes didn’t crystallise, drinking games like going out in minus 30 in a tee shirt for the length of a fag (yours if a smoker, someone else’s if not). Friends and colleagues from a mad time now scattered or prematurely snuffed. All of the stuff we did, friends - some of the best I ever had - that did it, all gone.


Best of times, worst of times. Great, melancholy choon.

Written about the Manchester Arena atrocity....

Bonfire of Teenagers
Which is so high in May north-west sky
Oh, you should've seen her leave for the arena
On the way, she turned and waved and smiled: "Goodbye"
Goodbye

And the silly people sing: "Don't Look Back in Anger"
And the morons sing and sway: "Don't Look Back in Anger"
I can assure you I will look back in anger 'till the day I die

I think Morrissey is a fandan and an occasional racist, but he is spot on here. Odd that some people positively obsessed with the horrific but unintentional killing of kids on the other side of the world, want us turn our gaze away from kids killed intentionally here. You could be forgiven for thinking its mental, or perhaps worse than that.

I used to walk through the site of the bombing most week days for several months not long before it. Sad to say from the general environs and some of the things I saw, it saddened but didn’t hugely surprise me.

I think his choice of words is spot on, there is a willed moronicism (if that’s a word) that is not only chosen by some, but then demanded of others.
 
Mates old boy and his pal, living legends who’d between them had been shot, stabbed and awarded medals for bravery for stopping others ending up similar, used to greet into their beers with this. All gone, and my mate, never saw 40.

I’m boring myself with this maudlin pish. Much more of this and I’ll be taking out a subscription to the guardian.

And so, imo, the most joyous and life affirming pop vid ever, and oh those old school trainers

Cheesy af bit I love this. When I was nipper working nights this was a highlight in the set list. Which would involved severe punishment if you talked over Atomsphere by JD and where the dawn would be greeted by Good Morning Britain by Aztec Camera

No I've never wanted to be 'cool'. But I've never wanted to be hunted down by the local young team for listening to crimes against music.
