Yeah, I know what Waters has said, but I don't believe him.



Some of this too.??

Why not admit it? Who knows? I just know how easily it could be heroin.

And as to the context of the film. When was the song written? It is too good for me to believe it was written to fit a script or a theme. I would assume the theme was after some of the songs were written and the story/concept was wrapped around a great song that they had in their pocket already? If not then its just another tip of the cap to how great they are/were.

"Hey guys I got this scene in the film I envision and it needs a song?"

"well bloody hell I'll pull this out of my arse." (all with Brit accent)

I'm not here to quibble.

I've been wrong to often to count. I am fully able to admit some Pink Floyd TRUE fans are on here and know more than me. I only know a handful of their songs.

Really just here to talk heroin songs. As I mentioned in OP the notion that Gordon LIGHTFOOT was smacked up when he wrote Sundown blew me away.

The people that wrote the song know what it's about
and it's meaning. They've talked about it over the years.

The music was a Gilmore composition that he'd had for a bit. Waters added the lyrics later.

By the time the song was recorded, Waters had pretty much commandeered the direction of the band and all the songwriting duties, which is most of the reason for the bad blood that broke them up.

Google. Use it.
