Pink Floyd have posted an official promo video for ‘Louder Than Words‘ – the only track from their new album ‘The Endless River‘ to feature lyrics. Check it out on Live4ever over at this link.
The lyrics were written by guitarist Dave Gilmour‘s wife Polly Sampson; “Her words really spoke to something about the band,” Gilmour has told Rolling Stone. “Certainly when it came to Rick and myself. We speak better with our musical instruments.”
The video was directed by Po Powell and, as well as location shots in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, showcases footage of the band undertaking recording sessions which have eventually resulted in the LP. Those sessions took place back in 1994 whilst ‘The Division Bell‘ was being crafted, and thus ‘The Endless River’ features contributions from keyboard player Richard Wright, who passed away in 2008.
Anticipation for ‘The Endless River’ is rife, indeed it has become the most pre-ordered album in Amazon’s history. Those eager fans will be getting their hands on the record this week.
