In memoriam: Richard Wright, Pianist at the Pink Floyd
The Great Gig in the Sky from Dark Side of the Moon, with a wonderful piano line leading to the mesmerizing vocal part…
… and of course Wearing the Inside Out from Division Bell, one of the occassion where Rick Wright sings along. He always found it hard to compete with David Gilmour and Roger Waters for the vocal parts and remained in the back for most songs, illustrating the compositions with his wonderful piano arrangements.
It features the great opening lines:
From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn’t recognize I’d become
No more than alive I’d barely survive
In a word…overrun
