Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I dont claim responsibility and dont hold any great truck with.
David Gilmour
Image
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find, ten years has got behind you No one told you where to run, you missed the starting gun.
David Gilmour
Image
It is an example of what films can do, how they can slip past your defenses and really break your heart.
David Gilmour
Image
If you have a live reputation and your popularity is proven that way, then you're bound to get signed up because they see all those people buying those tickets and they think some of those people will buy those records, and that's what their business is primarily about.

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.
David Gilmour
Image
I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.

I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.
David Gilmour

My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.

I've sort of remarried a few years ago and have had a couple more children in the last couple of years. And so home life is taking up a lot of my time.

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

I remember Adrian [Maben, director] had lots of problems with red tape and dealing with stuff. I think we lost two or three days. Maybe those were the days we had to walk around the summit of Vesuvius, and we went around to the sulfur pits where the ground is bubbling. It's near here. It's fantastic.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
David Gilmour
Image
I think a lot of things do influence me, but the influence mechanism is as such that these things dive into your brain and bury themselves into your subconscious and you're never quite sure where and how they're going to emerge. I don't think I really take direct influence.
David Gilmour

The old ways still apply. You can still send tapes to record companies, and there are record companies, you know, there are one or two of the record companies do declare proudly that they listen to every single one that comes.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

I think once you've seen a song with a video, it limits your own mind's ability to read into it anything other than what you've seen.
David Gilmour

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.
David Gilmour
Image
People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.
David Gilmour

The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?

I've played rugby at school a bit. I didn't play football at school I played football after school.
