Pink Floyd - If

Pink Floyd - If “If“ is a song by Pink Floyd on their 1970 album Atom Heart Mother. This song was one of several to be considered for the band’s “best of“ album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd. It was Written and sung by Roger Waters, like “Grantchester Meadows“ before it, “If“ carries on a pastoral and folky approach, but instead deals with introspection. The song is in the key of E Major. This song could be about the original founder of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, whose regular use of psychedelics caused him to fall behind the band and eventually lead to him not touring, writing music, and not playing with the band. The song could be a written in Syd’s point of view towards the band.
