Excellent job by Rick.

I didn't realize that "Between Two Points" is a cover of a tune from the early 90s by The Montgolfier Brothers (whom I'd never heard of before now.)

Gilmour explains that friends suggested it to Polly and him many years ago. Romany would have heard it over the years from a playlist, and David asked her to track the vocal at home just before he had to take her to the train station. He says 90% of the vocals on the cut as released were from that take.

 
Romany's cover is absolutely gobsmacking gorgeous. Here it is...with Dad's guitar.


Recently been on a pink floyd kick and going over their earlier work. Obscured by Clouds is something I needed to spend some more time on, but when I came to Childhood's End I had to stop. Such a poignant and lyrically brilliantly song. Sometimes I wonder if we are worthy to have Pink floyd.
