Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has premiered the title track from his upcoming solo album Rattle That Lock, which can be listened to in the video at the bottom of this article.
In a promotional video for the song, Gilmour explains:
“Rattle That Lock was inspired, musically, by the sound that’s played at French railway stations before they make an announcement. It’s a jingle, a four-note jingle that’s played. Every time I heard it, it would make me want to start dancing. I turned my iPhone on, held my iPhone up nearer the speaker and waited for the next announcement.”
The track is definitely a dance-worthy number. It is a bit funkier than what many people are used to hearing from the Pink Floyd front-man, but it is full of Gilmour's finesse and impacting lyrics (provided by his long time writing partner and wife Polly Samson). It is really astounding what just four notes can do to inspire someone. Some times all you need is just a few notes and the right idea about how to use them.
Rattle That Lock (the full album) will be available on September 18th and is currently available to pre-order. Gilmour will also be touring starting this September through early next year. The dates are listed below.
