"Signs of Life" is the first song from the first Pink Floyd album without Roger Waters, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. It is an instrumental, although the voice of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason can be heard for a second reciting two verses of an unknown poem. In fan's folklore, much like the song Poles Apart from The Division Bell, it is said that the first verse is about Syd Barrett with the second about Roger Waters. Although it did not appear on the album, it was featured on the Delicate Sound Of Thunder (film). The screen film featured Langley Iddens, caretaker of the Astoria, rowing through Granchester Meadows.
