David Gilmour has joined forces with his daughter, 22-year-old Romany, on their latest single ‘Between Two Points’, which is a cover of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song. Both sing over former Pink Floyd guitarist’s soft strumming and Romany’s bright harp, with Romany also performing the vocals. Remarking on the single, David said: “I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released. More recently I mentioned it to one or two people: I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go.”
The Montgolfier Brothers’ Mark Tranmer added: “David and Romany’s version of our song is a great arrangement and production. Like all the best covers, it diverges from the original but keeps the spirit. Romany’s vocal phrasing of Roger Quigley’s words and the harp playing are both truly beautiful. David Gilmour’s distinctive guitar adds a whole new dimension. I still find it incredible that David and Polly chose to cover our song from all the songs out there.”
An accompanying black-and-white music video showing Romany playing the harp, travelling on a train and David’s epic guitar playing was directed by Gavin Elder. Romany also appears on the bonus track ‘Yes, I Have Ghosts’ on David’s upcoming album, ‘Luck and Strange’, set for release on September 6. It will be Gilmour’s first solo album in nine years, following 2015’s ‘Rattle That Lock’.
David Gilmour’s ‘Luck and Strange’ tour resumes after its lengthy postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also announced additional shows in Los Angeles and New York. The Rome show will kick off the tour on September 27, with other shows being held in London, Los Angeles, and New York, among others.
