OK I know I just completed 1994's "The Division Bell" and I have no intention on starting my song by song review of 1987's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" until later this month however I decided to talk for a moment about the final track on that LP, "Sorrow". This evening while walking and running this song came on and I have to say that although this 1987 Pink Floyd album may not be among the band's best it does have "Sorrow" which I have always felt could work on ANY of their previous albums. Even Gilmour includes this among his best and the opening lines were appropriated from John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath", proving that no Pink Floyd song is what it first appears. The "drum sound" was created by a drum machine again written & programmed by David Gilmour.
Here is Pink Floyd performing "Sorrow" during their 1994 "Pulse" tour.
More to come when I review "Momentary of Lapse" in detail later this month.
