So there I am, listening to XM Radio, deep Tracks, and they play the title track from, On An Island!!! Holy crap!! Me and my buddy ryan actually crapped our pants... Don't know where they got the full track, but its awesome!

So I went over to David's site http://davidgilmour.com/ and they have a short clip on there to give you a taste. Go Check it out!

Thought i'd add a poll here rather than start another thread- David

So, how did it sound? Or were you too busy cleaning your pants to give it a good listen?
Did anyone record the song?

it was fantastic, of course, very kind of drifty spacey vocals. theres an awesome solo that takes up most of the song. i did not manage to figure out how to get a recording from it before it was over.

yupp, that is a part of the "On An Island" track.

Just checked his site again, and it looks liek they changed the clip. This one sounds like a Floyd album intro a la 'Signs of Life' or 'Cluster One'. I think this must be one of the tracks where the orchestra is used.

Hmmm, you both better go change your pants!

I just heard On an Island, I must say I am really, really pleased. What a beautiful song that is. The Gilmour Crosby Nash harmonies are superb. The song even has just a hint of a See Saw-like melody and feel to it. My expectations for the album have just been significantly elevated.

a weird sidebar: immediately preceding On an Island o the radio was a new version of Comfortably Numb sung by Ani DeFranco?!? Strange.

I couldnt find the link to the download? Where or what is it?

[Keith Jordan]

Ah right, it is one of those flash media player things top right of the page!

Download On An Island :

http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=1976173

Not the best quality and it has the radio djs speaking throughout it

thrill-seeker, thank you so much for the download! It really made my morning to hear the song again. I think it is great! But I have no idea what the djs are saying.

whats up with the Blink 182 reference?

And did they light up a doobie in the middle of the song?



also, am i wrong but yesterday on David's site had a clip from this song, today it is a different track? Maybe we will soon get a preview of all the tracks!

[David Smith]

Wow that's lovely

The delivery on:

We lay side by side,
Between the moon and the tide
Mapping the stars for a while

is among the best deliveries Dave's ever done

Thanks for adding the link to the download. Very cool indeed.
Not to sound ungrateful, but if someone finds a way to put up the song for download that doesn't have the 'payasos' gabbing away, that would be great.
