David Gilmour - Murder

[@ericvitelli7113]

I saw this tour and this was my song! I am blessed to be seeing David tomorrow night in NY at Madison Square Garden - a legend - Thanks for the music!

[@AliasMark69]

1984.... Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.

Pino’s bass solo (On the original version) is great! Mickey’s bass solo is beyond!!! He respectfully adopts Pino’s legacy and even improved the bass part! I can’t get enough of this.

2 0 2 0 Forever and Ever David Gilmour

[@JeffLaserstein]

His best solo song. Period.

[@BestPriceSunCoastTransmissions]

This song was huge in 1984/5 and I always wondered what it was about. Then I saw an interview with DG and learned it was about the murder of John Lennon. “What was that brought you out here in the dark”refers to the vigil outside John Lennon’s apartment that formed after word go out about the shooting. “Did you get rid of the voices in your head,” sounds like a direct challenge to Mark David Chapman. “On your own admission…” you can hear the anger in his voice. In amazingly few words he sums up grief, mental health, anger, the brutality and finality of death. And the musicianship is unbelievable. Acoustic guitar intro, fret less bass solo, amazing solo as the tempo of the song climbs and climbs, reminds me of Stairway in the the intensity climb. Masterpiece.

[@Oh_I_Will]

It wasn’t huge at all…just like all the PF solo records were concerned….nobody heard or bought them bc nobody knew their names/faces

[@offxbyxone]

@@Oh_I_Will...no actually it was pretty huge. I was there.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I disagree. Gilmore and Watres became the faces of Floyd before the split. And much interest in Gilmore solo albums. But what do I know born and raised in Detroit. I think we had great music variety as far as radio goes. Love all my Canadian music influences. And Motown. 3 rock stations as a kid so competition kept music honest.

[@andycrook3571]

But Lennon was shot, not stabbed like the song states

[@Tbevel]

⁠@@andycrook3571 I’m guessing it’s Dave’s amazing ability using a metaphor. He has done it in songs like Poles Apart.

[@felipegilmour3285]

At the same time as the song "Murder" is very beautiful, it is very sad, as it talks exactly about the murder of John Lennon and at the same time is also a criticism of his murderer Mark David Chapman. Master David Gilmour also expresses in the beautiful lyrics and melodies his feeling of great sadness and anger that was inside him at the time. This is his best guitar solo on his entire second solo album "About Face". Just to remind you, the song "Murder" was supposed to have entered the repertoire of the Album "The Final Cut" between 1982 and 1983, but due to many discussions and disagreements between Master David Gilmour himself with Roger Waters, some songs didn't make the cut.

[@basilprabhakar7028]

That's why it is called "The Final Cut". Some of David's songs did not make the cut..

[@felipegilmour3285]

@@basilprabhakar7028 Exactly citizen, Master David Gilmour composed several songs in the year 1982, and some of which would be included in the Album "The Final Cut", however the so-called Roger Waters did not like the songs that the Master David Gilmour had composed the songs: "Until We Sleep", "Murder" and "Near The End".

[@alessandrotommasi9941]

That's not really "shredding" by any means. The instrumental coda isvery reminiscent of animals, to me (sounds a lot like "sheep"'s coda). It's great, and I wish there was more stuff like this in his solo albums.

[@mike3571]

I always point to this and Coming Back To life when the falsehood of Gilmour's "poor" lyric writing ability is brought up. This song is adressed to Mark David Chapman for those wwho don't know.

[@cubdukat]

It's not really a falsehood. David himself has said that he doesn't consider himself a very good songwriter, and that he didn't like very much of what he wrote for "About Face," with the exception of this song and maybe "You Know I'm Right." He's actually pretty good. I have to wonder how much of his own lack of confidence in his own lyrics is thanks to Roger Waters. I can easily see him constantly being put down and belittled musically by Roger.

[@t.b.a.r.r.o.]

@@cubdukat Apparently Dave is extremely humble.

[@corvetteanddrwhorule]

@@cubdukatyeah and i think its unfair, Roger is so powerful with metaphors and life changing messages, its really harsh to compare them, David can write good lyrics, hes just always going to be in the shadow of one of the greatest song writers in rock music.

[@0001highlander]

He also wrote Childhoods End. One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

[@grelch]

Other notable musicians here - Chris Slade on drums (AC/DC, Jimmy Page and others), Raphael Ravenscroft mustachioed keyboardist here but is a Sax player by trade, famous for being the sax player on Baker Street of Gerry Rafferty, Jody Linscott a percussionist who at least in those days played with and toured with everyone and anyone you can think of and lastly Gregg Dechert who had brief stints in latter day Bad Company and Uriah Heep.

[@marcelosoto-quiroga1965]

Raphael Ravenscroft played sax on Pink Floyd's The Final Cut, and performed one of the most heartbraking soloes ever, in "The Gunner's Dream".

of all the great sounding instruments in this band playing with David, why does the snare drum reach out to my ear so strongly?

[@stevea3149]

It’s how the mix panned out. Got to remember, the source material is from the early 80’s. Don’t let it get you down, that’s Chris Slade- a very underrated drummer. It’s good to see him get to really belt out a rhythm with the likes of David Gilmour. Wish that collaboration would have lasted a bit longer... but I suppose fate brought us other gifts from David and Nick and Richard (RIP)...
