LYRICS:

I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be

Trials and tribulations
All my past trauma
Generational curses from daddy and mama
Heartbreak and lies
Dirty soul ties
Mixed with addictions that clouded my eyes
I’ve been mistaken and taken for granted
and locked in the prison that I call my mind
And now that I’ve lived and I’ve learned
And I’ve built and I’ve burned all these bridges I’ll leave it behind
And that’s why

I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be

Don’t ask the reason I changed
Ask yourself why you stayed the same
I couldn’t sleep in that bed I made
I needed more in life
I tried every remedy prescribed
Getting drunk every night
Letting women waste my time
Now I’m in a phase I can sleep alone
I don’t ever chase, I got God
Letting go of pain that was never mine
Trying to bear the weights
not my job
Cause that’s the man i used to be
And he ain't no use to me

I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be

I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be

David Gilmour - Luck and Strange (Official Music Video) Hotney 24 Streams • 2 years ago

David Gilmour's 'Luck and Strange' available now from https://davidgilmour.lnk.to/LuckandStrange on vinyl, CD and digital.

Directed by Gavin Elder

*ABOUT LUCK AND STRANGE*
‘Luck and Strange’ was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman. Of this new working relationship, David says, “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years. Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on ‘Luck and Strange’, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour elaborates, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” Polly has also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, “He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who’s playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason.”

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘Between Two Points’ and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house.

Some contributions emerged from the live streams that Gilmour and family performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’. Gabriel Gilmour also sings backing vocals.

The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn, is inspired by a lyric written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘Scattered’. Of working with his family on ‘Luck and Strange’, David says, “Polly and I have been writing together for over thirty years and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany’s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I’d felt bound to and that I could throw those rules out and do whatever I felt like doing, and that has been such a joy.”

Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

Lyrics: Slow Dance
Alright;
You win.
You'll get one song,
One song, my friend.
And when the music stop,
We'll say goodbye;
And then I'll be moving on with my life.
Don't stay too close to me,
Keep your hands where they're supposed to be.
It's just a slow dance,
Not a romance;
You know you've got no chance,
It's just a slow dance.
Maybe you're lonely;
You don't even know me.
There's not a chance,
Don't even ask,
It's just a slow dance.
You haven't had me,
In your sight,
Since the moment I walked in here tonight.
Well, alright,
I'm gonna let you lead,
Even though this is something I don't need
So don't,
Don't get your hopes too high,
'Cause I'm not looking,
I ain't looking for Mr. Right
It's just a slow dance,
Not a romance;
You know you've got no chance,
It's just a slow dance.
Maybe you're lonely;
You don't even know me.
You've got no chance,
Don't even ask,
It's just a slow dance.
I'm not gonna tell you how I feel about you,
And you can't make me fall in love again.
And whatever spell you thing you've got me under;
Well, guess what...You're almost out of time.
So don't,
Don't get your hopes too high,
'Cause I'm not looking,
I ain't looking for Mr. Right
It's just a slow dance,
Not a romance;
You know you've got no chance,
It's just a slow dance.
Maybe you're lonely;
You never know me.
There's not a chance,
Don't even ask,
It's just a slow dance. (x2)
