I just read an interview by Jon Carin on the web page of Dave Smiths Instrument:
https://www.davesmithinstruments.com/artists/jon-carin/
In this interview, Mr Carin states that the song "A Great Day for Freedom" has its origns from recording the AMLOR album:¨
The Wikipedia article writes the more official story, that the song was a Creation from the time when the Berlin wall fell, which happened in November 1989, a couple of years after the recording and the release of AMLOR.Well, synthesizers…regarding Dave Smith’s creations, obviously, the Prophet V had that. James Guthrie, who is one of the producers of The Wall album, has always been into it, and it certainly helped define Pink Floyd’s The Wall record. I then used it years later on The Division Bell, on a song leftover from the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason record called A Great Day For Freedom.
This information is interesting. It do have an air similar to "On the Turning Away", and it is impossible to not compare those two melodies.
Shine on,
Peter
