"When You're In" is a track from Pink Floyd's 1972 album Obscured by Clouds.[1][2] It is entirely instrumental,[3] with a repetitive guitar riff repeating until the piece fades out. The title is a reference to a phrase by former Pink Floyd crew member, Chris Adamson, who would respond to when asked about a repair: "I'm in. And when you're in, you're in."[4]
Live
This song, along with "Obscured by Clouds", was played live in late 1972 and usually opened shows on the 1973 The Dark Side of the Moon tour. The live performances were often an extended version which allowed David Gilmour to perform a guitar solo and Richard Wright to add a Hammond organ and Minimoog solo.
Cover
The song has been covered by Swedish band Tiamat on their 1994 EP Gaia.
