Gilmour, David - Until We Sleep Lyrics






Dance, to the movement of the stars
Sing till the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep

Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink, till the room begins to sway
Play, and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Work, though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years, have cut you down to size
Now go to sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

  1. M.... M....

    Wonder if that "Tube" crowd appreciated what they were witnessing. Never seen this footage before. That was superb.

  2. M.... M....

    I really wish Jeff Porcaro could've been the drummer here as he played on the entire ABOUT FACE album.

  3. a.... a....

    Gilmore
    I remember where I was when this came out
    Tenth grade yeah WBLM played it several times
    A day mTV was getting cool

  4. M.... V....

    Uno de los mejores guitarristas del globo y nadamás amigos!!!

  5. n.... ....

    I really love this! I still have the recording on Betamax video but it's great to have the better sound. The first time I ever got tuned in by a guitar sound/solo was May in Boh Rhap as part of the whole but when I heard Gilmour's solo in Time then I was a guitarist.

    n.... ....

    There is a Deep Purple-Smoke over water, cover video where May and Gilmour are together.

  6. L.... P....

    Love how everyone is chillin lol

  7. M.... L....

    saw Gilmour in Houston at the Summit 1984 About Face new album w/ many Pink Floyd songs mixed in

    The neck on this cream Strat is what is now on The Black Strat. Just a bit of trivia.

  12. M.... L....

    saw david Gilmour at the Houston summit 1984 about face album

  13. D.... H....

    This was the time Pink Floyd was falling apart and David's coke habit kicked in.

    It’s great thing! Excellent!

  15. F.... G....

  16. A.... W....

    Exellent and brillant guitarrist Mr. Gilmour

  17. D.... L....

    A very formidable 2 guitar attack with Mick Ralphs on the other guitar. Would've been very interesting to hear if they had collaborated on an album besides Davids solo records.

  18. S.... G....

    Not one of his best.

  19. M.... G....

    Ah Dave with hair ! That bass player needs calming down.

  20. W.... F....

    HE'S THE LEAD GUITARIST EVER!!

  21. W.... G....

    HM2 Boss

  22. p.... ....

    The way Mick Ralphs plays rhythm guitar on this tour really inspires me as a guitar player.

    p.... ....

    psychodelicrock12 - I love Mick Ralph's guitar playing. Highly under-rated.

  23. G.... S....

    Drugs in, garbage out. Fact! ;)

  24. M.... Q....

    Great footage, Always loved the first 2 solo outings some amazing stuff on those albums.

    M.... Q....

    I agree.  I wish the 1984 Hammersmith Odeon concert in London along with the videos Blue Light and All Lovers are Deranged and the 30 minute documentary Beyond the Floyd becomes officially released on DVD/BLURAY

  25. m.... ....

    This was such a great show opener for this tour. I wish he would have continued to perform a song or two from his first two albums in his more recent tours.

  26. C.... M....

    Jeffrey Krupa..... sorry my friend I admire your optimisation.... but " HIGHLY UNLIKELY"

  27. J.... K....

    Don't worry; I'm sure the Millenials will throw up another Dave Gilmour...

    ...any day now...

    J.... K....

    Good one! More likely a bunch of Bieber clones with high priced voices singing in Falsetto. If I hear another young white singer sing in a Falsetto Voice, I will scream. Absolutely ridiculous!

  28. H.... G....

    A performance ao vivo dele e impecável .

  29. Z.... R....

  33. B.... ....

    My beloved!

  34. a.... ....

    Man I have definitely heard better vocals from Dave before. The music sounds great here through.

  35. S.... ....

    Levels of a guitarist
    1 - Beginner
    2 - Advanced
    3 - Professional
    4 - Expert
    5 - Legend
    6 - God of the guitar
    7 - David Gilmour

    S.... ....

    8 - Couldn't be arsed to learn the words to me own song

    S.... ....

    Im disagree. In your world, maybe. There is better guitarists in Europe and America

  36. L.... F....

    guitarist with great humility

    L.... F....

    Verdade, irmão!

  37. S.... ....

    His band at the time was basicly an all-star lineup w. Mick Ralphs and Chris Slade.

  38. T.... ....

    He loves playing that strat, would love to hear him on a les Paul

    T.... ....

    Why is that?

  39. W.... M....

    I heard that when Dave look to you with a little smile it is because you are doing shit or made a huge mistake!

  40. H.... ....

    So handsome!

  41. S.... C....

    Cuando vuelves a Argentina ?

  42. R.... M....

    I wish he would include more of his older solo stuff live.

    R.... M....

    Same here!

    R.... M....

    I agree.  I wish the 1984 Hammersmith Odeon concert in London along with the videos Blue Light and All Lovers are Deranged and the 30 minute documentary Beyond the Floyd becomes officially released on DVD/BLURAY

  43. P.... L....

    Just awsome.......!!!!!!

    GILMOUR Amazing THE Genius OF arte ❤

  48. D.... D....

    Gary Numan, Dave Gilmour and The Firm. An interesting time for top drummer Chris Slade!

    D.... D....

    And pino Palladino. As a Numan fan that owned the obligatory Wall and DSOM, I bought About face on the strength of PP and Chris Slade, despite not hearing a single track. What an investment!

  49. C.... ....

    1983 57 Fullerton Strat. Hell yes.

  50. K.... V....

    Dave is indeed the greatest muscian in history! Still got the best hinny of all rockers!

  51. K.... V....

    I love this song and seeing him live...coke or not. Thankful for his savior, Polly.

    K.... V....

    Kitty Vaughn Polly is a gem for sure

    K.... V....

    If Polly had really wanted to help him, she would have refrained from writing lyrics...

  52. d.... p....

    The Tube was filmed live at Tyne Tees studios for CH4  on a Friday tea time. The audience got  in on a first come first served basis . Apart from been filmed in my home town I loved the show because it was so raw, a genuine chance to see an eclectic mix of artists just rock up, plug in and play ...warts and all!! (After a forensic study of the film I can see no traces of white powder residues around the nostril area of Mr Gimour and who cares if there was !)

  53. S.... E....

    David Gilmore is & always has been - drug free, especially for putting together the complex type of music & guitar playing that he has done :)

    S.... E....

    Simon Eden Well... that's not true. Floyd stayed away from hard stuff after Syd but they smoked weed like no one's business. And Rick developed a coke problem as early as 77. David had a coke problem throughout the 80s but it didn't take a huge toll on him, thankfully.

    S.... E....

    Chables - the Floyd were absolutely drug free after Syd Barrett, I've been a fan since - 1970 - as I am - 60...they always kept clear heads in order to create the very detailed music that they made, Roger Waters had tried one acid trip in - '69 - Rick Wright was a heavy smoker which caused his fatal lung cancer, Nick & Dave were clean dude, a lot of people think they took drugs because of their psychedelic style of music, please get your facts straight buddy :)

    S.... E....

    Simon Eden David and Ricks coke addiction in the 80s is pretty well documented.

  54. e.... ....

    Chris Slade tocando pra cacete!!!

  55. f.... f....

    Toujours au Top Gilmour . J' étais à Pompéi , David Gilmour , vous avez sacré par FENDER , plus grand guitariste de tous les Temps , et je confirme , je me suis régalé . Et lorsque vous avez joué Comtably Numb , j' avais l' impression de remonté en 1979. Vraiment exquis !

  56. T.... B....

    I love the vibe of this song.

  57. M.... d....

    the one on the drums is Chris Slade

    M.... d....

    we know

  58. J.... B....

    It would be great if he includes this song on the next tour!

  59. B.... ....

    There are a few musicians I truly truly love. This is one.

    B.... ....

    My favorite DAvid Gilmour band

  60. B.... ....

    How was Jody always in these things?

  61. B.... ....

    Pete's songs were so good on that album.

  62. J.... S....

    I don't think this is coke time yet. He just looks tired maybe had some drinks but I don't think the coke came until later. He's not manic or super bloated yet like for MLOR tour where you can see from beginning to end of your a complete physical transformation. He's still smokin here

  63. D.... S....

    *THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN EVER*

  64. C.... 1....

    Wooooork though the work will break your back.

  65. T.... ....

    Is that Mick Ralphs on guitar?

  66. K.... S....

    Man all this talk about David doing coke comeon people give the man a break so what if he did it is no ones business but his, anyway have none of you never done something that you maybe should not have done in your lifetime I know I have but regardless of that whatever happened in the past in history, David Gilmour will always be the best guitarist/singer/songwriter I have ever had the pleasure to listen too

    K.... S....

    Of course he is the best, no doubt about it, but he looks terrible on this. Anyway, it seems like he quit coke quite fast, lucky man.

    K.... S....

    Thumbs down for terrible punctuation.

    K.... S....

    @mefffDave LooksTerrible ???
    How so? Seen him lately?

  67. J.... G....

    PERFECT

  68. G.... O....

    Regardless of any substance use, Gilmour has always had a reputation as a reliable performer. Conjecture about the nature of his anxiety being related to the use of cocaine, in this forum, is nothing more than irresponsible chatter. He did use cocaine for a period of time during the MLOR tour, but its relevance to this conversation is truly questionable.

    G.... O....

    GDK Opinionator Eh, both he and Rick had some pretty serious coke problems. They're understated because they got over it and aside from Rick being a heavy smoker and ultimately dying of cancer, they lived healthy lives. It was a sign of the times for sure, though, and David certainly was a good performer

  69. a.... ....

    Amazing! Never again we would see such song writing, performances in this Bieber era!! Totally teared me up!!

  70. C.... ....

    Goddamn that crowd is dead. No wonder he looks unhappy to be there.

    C.... ....

    or maybe your ears are "dead"
    it's a TV show in a TV studio not a concert or club
    why don't you appreciate the music intead of judging people who will never read and never be interested in your worthless judgement?

    C.... ....

    MilesBellas No, it's definitely the audience. Have you seen the Beatles on Sullivan? Being a TV show has nothing to do with anything. You don't have to act like such a jackass for such an innocuous comment

    C.... ....

    @The Breakfast Menu
    No it's actually your brain and your false worthless perception of the vast infinite complexity of life.
    Judgements of me, the audience and others are sad, shallow reflections of your own inability to understand reality without judgement or insults.
    It's recreational indignation as a distraction for your sad egotism?

    C.... ....

    MilesBellas You've got some issues. I recommend a psychiatrist.

  71. T.... ....

    Guitar playing is fine, but the I feel like the vocals are lacking something?

    T.... ....

    Abbey Rhoda digital delay, and fuck loads of reverb which the album version had...

  72. D.... ....

    Was he high? Didn't he do a lot of coke in the 80's?

    D.... ....

    We all did

    D.... ....

    your ears work ok?

  73. P.... D....

    this and The Blue Light video scream - stay away from cocaine.

    P.... D....

    Paul Clifford what?

    P.... D....

    They both actually scream Pete. But yeah man, the coke was very good and everywhere at that time. EVERY WHERE.

    P.... D....

    Well, I like this song. Guitar is great.

  74. G.... P....

    Dave the best of Guitar!!.

  75. M.... S....

    Homem maravilhoso 😍

  76. E.... T....

    Sir David was dope!

    E.... T....

    No, but you are.

    E.... T....

    Not a Sir.

  77. K.... f....

    *Really unfocused David. Is he playing songs from that LP nowadays?*

    K.... f....

    W T F ?

  78. C.... P....

    valeu pela imagem mas considero uma das piores faixas solo do Gilmour. com todo respeito a esse monstro da música.

  79. F.... U....

    upcoming dvd/blu ray?

    F.... U....

    I wish the 1984 Hammersmith Odeon concert in London along with the videos Blue Light and All Lovers are Deranged and the 30 minute documentary Beyond the Floyd becomes officially released on DVD/BLURAY

  80. T.... K....

    A slightly nervous David..? But still excellent performance, as always.

    T.... K....

    Vosoogh Zardoshtian lol are you serious? Gilmour was doing coke all the time on the Delicate sound of thunder tour

    T.... K....

    I don't think it's drugs. He looks like his foldback isn't working and he can't hear the sound properly.

    T.... K....

    Lol Rick was never addicted to heroin and that is NOT what Comfortably Numb is about, if that's what you're referring to. Rick was into that snow white, as were most rockers in the '80s

    T.... K....

    KodredCud - Right. Wright had a coke problem in the late 70s around time of The Wall, which when put together with the onset of depression - caused his low songwriting contributions after Wish You Were Here. Gilmour was on coke during the 80s. It was Polly Samson who helped in clean up.

    T.... K....

    It's very true that Dave is really nice and beautiful man ever

  81. D.... 9....

    upload more please

  82. F.... A....

    excellent performance :') one of my fav!

  83. J.... C....

    BTW I consider Prince and David Gilmour the greatest guitar players ever.

    J.... C....

    Then you haven't heard Ritchie Blackmore or Jimmy Page at their best.

    J.... C....

    @MrKayley10 I have ;) Prince nowhere near, but DG is the best, Page , Blackmore, not bad. Lol.

    J.... C....

    MrKayley10 Then you haven't heard Prince Live Performances...

    J.... C....

    Yes I have. I hear a lot of compressors and not much musical content but, then again, I'm not a funk fan so it's just a matter of taste. ;-)

    J.... C....

    Another Brick is pretty funky though😄

  84. J.... C....

    It's such a pleasure listening anything from David's guitar. Brilliant. Thanks for shearing.

  85. M.... �....

    fantástico!

  86. D.... A....

    Thank you David, please upload anything you have I even enjoy listening to you speaking !!

  87. S.... G....

    Excellent!! I hope you upload all the videos you have, even from the first album. Gilmour is my favourite musician.

    S.... G....

    Yoyo better b eeliv it😁😁😁😁

  88. J.... F....

    You are the best!
