David Gilmour reveals which songs he won’t play anymore

After eight years without touring and nine without releasing a new record, the Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour finally released his new album “Luck & Strange” and will tour to promote his new work. However, he noted that he won’t be playing many Pink Floyd songs from the 70s and told Mojo which are the tracks we don’t feel comfortable with anymore and he won’t play.

David Gilmour reveals which songs he won’t play anymore

“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing. I love ‘Run Like Hell’. I loved the music I created for it, but all that (sings) ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”

“’Another Brick In The Wall’ is another one I shan’t be doing. I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgement. The same with ‘Money’. I won’t be doing that. I’m going to be sticking with the ones that are essentially my music, and I feel some ownership of. ‘Comfortably Numb’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’, maybe…” David Gilmour said.
