David Gilmour Releases New Song and Video from Upcoming Album

Luck and Strange

David Gilmour has released a new track and video from his upcoming album Luck and Strange. Titled "Dark And Velvet Nights," the song is a haunting and beautiful ballad that showcases Gilmour's signature guitar work and soaring vocals.

Written by David Gilmour and Polly Samson

"Dark And Velvet Nights" came from a poem that Polly Samson had written. Gilmour was immediately drawn to the lyrics, and he began working on the music that would become the song. The result is a track that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The lyrics speak to the complexities of love, loss, and longing, and Gilmour's music provides a perfect backdrop for Samson's words.
