It took me far too long in life to learn how to embrace this.
For me, this is the energy we need right now.
I hope more people recognize we have the power here.
May we sing this is the face of anyone who tries to tell us what to do
Bittersweet but magnificent - the song acknowledges the innocence of youthful hope and the pain of crushed hope, but reaffirms the endless river of life at the end, followed by one of Gilmour's very best guitar solos (meaning, one of the very best guitar solos that you could hear). This is the shorter studio version with a fascinating video, but the live versions are even better musically IMHO.
