The title track is second on the list, and he sings, " In  the light before the dawn,  Shadows shake in my peripheral,  Mesmerise me, bring it on,  Heart beats with fear here in the theatre of my soul". You can sense the aging in his voice. The added roughness. He's 78. But that emotion is intact. And that style.. drool! And yes, he's used parts played by former Floyd bandmate Richard Wright on this number.  The words aren't his this time. His wife Polly Samson has penned most songs, tackling subjects like aging, lo
