Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds (1440p, HD)

“A Pillow of Winds“ is the second track from Pink Floyd’s 1971 album Meddle According to the 1996 Pink Floyd history book by Cliff Jones, the band felt that “One of These Days“ was such a powerful track that they needed to bring everyone down with something gentle. The song is a soft acoustic piece, and rather uncharacteristically for a Pink Floyd song, the lyrics deal with love. Guitarist David Gilmour composed the track, and Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. This song also features slide guitar work by Gilmour. The song begins and ends in the key of E major, with a darker middle section (following the lyric, “and the candle dies“) in the parallel minor, E minor. According to Nick Mason, the song’s title originates from a possible hand in the game of Mahjong, with which the band had become enamoured while touring.
