David Gilmour: The Sound Wave that Wraps Around My Soul

Inspired by watching David Gilmour play the solo on “Marooned” from the record The Division Bell.
When I hear truly great music, something shifts inside me. My soul reacts first; it sends out a warm sound-blanket that wraps around me, almost outlining my aura. It’s a physical and spiritual overlap. I close my eyes and feel two versions of myself at the same time — the body sitting here in the room, and the soul just outside it, listening, expanding, waking up. That duality is where this piece comes from.
The sound crashes,
a wave through the bones,
a blanket of energy,
a force unknown
draping my glowing aura.
Each note rips through —
alive, untamed,
drenched in the fiery tones
he’s claimed —
pulling me out of this
spiritual plane.
To stand in that storm,
marooned in the Wall of sound,
to feel it ignite —
that’s the rush,
the soul taking flight.
