If (Pink Floyd song)
"If" is a song by Pink Floyd on their album Atom Heart Mother.[1][2] Written and sung by Roger Waters, it is about self-analysis. Like "Grantchester Meadows" before it, "If" carries on a pastoral and folky approach, but instead deals with introspection and self-deprecation.
The song was performed live, at a John Peel session, on July 16, 1970, at BBC's Paris Theatre, London. During that performance, Richard Wright plays both organ and bass. Waters did perform it numerous times on his solo tours, mainly during the 1984/1985 'Pros and Cons' tour, and in support of Radio K.A.O.S. in 1987.
