He censored it, and I’m not allowed to announce anything on it.

I wish he’d let me advertise this movie on the Pink Floyd website. I’m sure you were happy to hear that when David Gilmour sold his guitars this year, he donated the money to fighting climate change. And more power to the anti-war movement and climate-change movements, who are fighting a valiant battle to try and get the walking dead, who unfortunately are most of the people - certainly in the United States of America - to wake up and understand that their lives and their children lives are not just under threat, they’re almost certain to be over. We’re running out of time very, very fast. That’s one thing that the kid from Sweden, Greta Thunberg, is saying. The problem with that is they will kill us all. There’s a song in a demo for a piece that I’m recording, and it’s, “Time keeps slipping away.” I think it’s because we’re all dying under the attack from the homicidal sociopaths who have all the money and all the power and run the media and the propaganda system and lie to us constantly and try to keep us at each other’s throats so they can maintain the system. I’ve been talking today with Sean about this tour that we’re going to do next summer, and I was saying, I’ve been thinking about a title and which songs to do. I imagine that song means something different to you than when you wrote it nearly 50 years ago. And the act collectively brings more joy to your life than to act selfishly. And whether we should let the pigs and dogs spend all our energy trying to fuck other people and steal from them or whether we accept the truth of this fact: If you help another human being, it brings joy to your life.

It makes you start to philosophise about life and what is important and how to derive joy from that. The reason it’s a good song is because it describes the predicament of anybody who, growing up - if we’re grown up at all - suddenly realises that time is going really, really fast. I’ve been told that I was preparing for something.” Eventually I figured out what it was, and it was probably something to do with earning a living and having a family and blah, blah, blah.īut suddenly I realised that I was aimless. I wrote that when I was 29 years old, so the bits in the song where it goes, “No one told you when to run/You missed the starting gun,” it’s about my experience of being 29 years old and certainly going, “Fuck me. For me, personally it’s a very important song. But the impetus was the narrative in the song. Is that how that song started, making that sound? No, the tick-tock thing came about probably from just the idea of, “Hey, let’s use clock sounds,” so they’re just deadened strings on repeat. Kory Growe from Rolling Stone: There’s a close-up in the film of you at the start of ‘Time’ where you’re playing a tick-tock sound on your bass strings. In this snippet, he explores his relationship with David Gilmour, and delves into how in the Trump era, the band have managed to stay relevant.
