Notes

And all these precious things you gave
That I’ve been holding in my hands.
These grains of sand.
A man stands in a river
Pushes against the stream.
Time is a tide that disobeys
It disobeys me.

This song has been haunting me for the past few months, and it’s probably the best song I’ve heard this year, if not this decade. Incredible music from David Gilmour and incredible lyrics from Polly Samson. People would swear by the excellent cover of “Between Two Points”, originally by The Montgolfier Brothers (RIP Roger Quigley), but I think “Scattered” is the best song of the last David Gilmour album, “Luck and Strange”.

It’s so fucking good to hear David still making his black Fender cry.
