Easier is easily a top 3 song on this album. The beginning intro is haunting and the end chorus is so soul gripping.

Clare Torry sued Pink Floyd and got her due in the end when Pink Floyd settled out of court. She got half of the song writing royalties for "Great Gig in the Sky" along with song writing credits and an undisclosed sum of cash.

I can never get over the use of headphones and earbuds while playing music- it's better through a full hi fi system with good speakers and no interuptions from who ever is in the room with you- how can you possibly appreciate this with all these distractions.

Hahaha I admire how excited some people can get from the first listen of the song. Even though Swallow the Sun are one of my all time favorite artists, my first reaction to this and previous new songs of them has mostly been like "meh, it's okay but idk". But they *always* grow on me in time and right now Innocence Was Long Forgotten is also my most listened song this year. So excited for the new album and I will get to attend a pre-listening party with the band at a theater in Helsinki!

If you love Dark Side of The Moon as well as Pink Floyd, I urge you to check out Nick Mason's Pink Floyd 'biography': Inside Out. Since he was a member he gives a specific insider's view. He sections the book out into parts for each album, and you can learn all you want to know and more about DSOTM, and any her album you might be curious about. It's an easy and excellent read.

Also, Paul (and Linda) McCartney's interview questions were deemed not acceptable by Roger Waters, as he felt Paul was trying to be funny. So they do NOT appear on the album.

In 2004 Clare Torry sued the members of Pink Floyd for writing credit on The Great Gig In The Sky, as her argument was she 'wrote' the 'lyrics'. They settled out of court but one of her stipulations was that her name be included in all liner notes from now on, showing co-authorship with the great Richard Wright (R.I.P.). I assume that means she is receiving royalties and residuals of the album sales. Also, she was paid 50 English Pounds for her contribution, which amounts to roughly $500.00 in today's standard.

Escape The Fate was around in 2006... dunno how different they were overall. Ronnie fronting an emo punk/metal band on Epitaph, could be talking about either band. Thanks for the reactions. How he woke up one day and said "Ya know... about some of these old songs.." then did these 3 remakes is insane in the most awesome of ways.

🥸 Salut les gars fan depuis le début des années 90 du FLOYD ce groupe est à jamais dans mon coeur cool de voir votre plaisir à écouter ce chef d'oeuvre 2 infos que vous ne saviez pas peut être la 1ere c'est que oui Paul et Linda Macartney se sont prêter au jeu pour enregistrer les voix (samples avant l'heure !) mais leur prestation n'ont pas été retenu lors du mixage final et la 2eme info c'est que c'est la 1ere fois que le synthetiseur VCS 3 était utilisé il venait d'être inventé et ❤RICK ❤ s'en est servi pour cet album mythique et enfin oui DICK PARRY qui a joué souvent avec le FLOYD jouait du saxo c'est un ami d'enfance de plusieurs membres du groupe et il joue merveilleusement bien 🥰 (si vous aimez les albums concepts GOMINA CAEN FRANCE c'est pas mal non plus AUTOPRODUCTION de grande qualité à mon humble avis ! si vous allez écouter leurs pépites j'espère que vous apprécierais ! pourquoi pas ?) Vous me faites plaisir les jeunes ! c'est cool de vous voir kiffer ! elles déchirent tes guitares ✌👍👽🥸

Apparently you dont get the connections here, they both come from similar backgrounds, they both have been accused of being anti gay, hence the first transgender woman in the video, rainbow and unicorn. You need to dig a little deeper. This is just another way Ronnie shows the world he can do ANYTHING and make a hit. Jelly roll is just awesome as his own artist but the both together brings the point of the song together.

Hey man I'm a hater but I know what he is and what he isn't and what they say about him is not true. Most of it lol. If someone is gonna hate on him it should be for the right reasons, not rumors and lies. I have very legitimate reasons for how i feel about him. But I still love his music. It makes me happy. Ronald song and Last Resort are my favorites. The look on your face was awesome and i couldnt stop laughing! Yeah you certainly got some not so nice comments but thats not surprising.
