I was blown away after hearing Gilmour's rendition of "On An Island". This particular rendition was sung in the Royal Albert Hall with Grosby and Nash. The harmony gave me goosebumps. This song could have numerous meanings but it was Gilmour himself who said that the song was about "memories" and how after death we are still remembered as though we were still alive. During the song I was reminded about scenes of my own life and how I hope I am remembered by family and friends. I do not believe the song has anything to do with an era, such as the 60's, as was suggested but of the human condition and the relationships we have with each other.
