Gilmour’s wife, Polly, wrote the lyrics again. She said, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour added, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.”
“Luck And Strange” will come out as a black vinyl record, in a gatefold sleeve, and with a booklet that has photos and design by Anton Corbijn. It will also be available on CD with two extra tracks, and with a Corbijn-designed digipak and booklet, as well as on Blu-ray.
