David Gilmour Release New Single “Between Two Points”

David Gilmour has unveiled a new single, a cover of the Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 track “Between Two Points,” featuring his daughter Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp.

In a press release, Gilmour shared his long-standing appreciation for the song. He said:

“I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released.
“More recently, I mentioned it to one or two people: I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go.”

Gilmour was impressed by his daughter’s suitability for the track. He noted:

“I realized that Romany has exactly the right sort of vulnerability and youth for the song.
“In fact, she was halfway through an essay with a train to catch when we asked her: ‘OK, I’ll sing it once, put the mic on’ and that is 90 percent of the finished vocal.”

Meet the Montgolfier Brothers: The Duo Behind “Between Two Points”

The Montgolfier Brothers, a British pop duo consisting of Mark Tranmer and Roger Quigley, released their debut album, Seventeen Stars, which included “Between Two Points,” in May 1999. Tranmer praised the Gilmours’ rendition. He said:

“David and Romany’s version of our song is a great arrangement and production.
“Like all the best covers, it diverges from the original but keeps the spirit. Romany’s vocal phrasing of Roger Quigley’s words and the harp playing are both truly beautiful. David Gilmour’s distinctive guitar adds a whole new dimension.”

“Between Two Points” is set to appear on Gilmour’s forthcoming album, Luck and Strange, which will be released on Sept. 6. Recorded over the span of five months, this album marks Gilmour’s first collection of new material in nearly a decade.

The anticipation surrounding Luck and Strange reflects Gilmour’s musical influence and his ability to blend personal touches with classic sounds. Fans eagerly await the album’s release and experience of Gilmour’s latest artistic ‘piece.
