Ennio Morricone dead at 91

Posted July 6, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Italian composer Ennio Morricone has died in Rome. He was 91.

He scored more than 500 film soundtracks, including a number of “spaghetti Westerns” for director Sergio Leone such as “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964), “For a Few Dollars More” (1965) and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966).

In 1999, Morricone composed music for “The Legend of 1900,” including “Lost Boys Calling.” Roger Waters provided lyrics for the song and recorded it with guitar work by Eddie Van Halen.

Waters’s recording is included on the film soundtrack, and a demo version appears on his 2002 collection “Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume 1.”

Morricone succumbed to complications following a fall and broken leg he suffered last week.

New David Gilmour song released as single

Posted July 3, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Legacy/Columbia today released David Gilmour‘s “Yes, I Have Ghosts” as a single.

The new track, written by Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, features their daughter, Romany Gilmour, on backing vocals and harp.

“I was working on this song just as we went into lockdown and had to cancel a session with backing singers,” Gilmour said in a statement.

“As it turned out, the solution was right here and I couldn’t be happier with the way Romany’s voice blends with mine and her beautiful harp playing has been another revelation,” he added.

The song was originally released last week as part of the audiobook of Samson’s novel “A Theatre for Dreamers,” and was inspired by one of the characters in the story.
