[edit] Fat Old Sun

Have edited the bit linking this song to Fat Old Sun. The latter is a very generic 'summery' piece and is not really autobiographical about Gilmour in anyway. At no point in FOS does Gilmour mention any specific place or person (other than himself)

The bell in this sounds to me as if it runs the entire length of the song, not just the beginning and end. It seems to just become somewhat overshadowed by the louder other instruments. G. 15:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the studio version, but the version on the Pulse DVD it most certianly doesn't. It picks up again in the middle though at one point. -Graptor 66.161.205.26 13:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I think there should be a mention about how the part from 2:56 - 3:47 is reminiscent of several other Pink Floyd songs. Just offhand I can hear "Welcome to the Machine" and the drums are from something on The Wall.
