Lyric discussion by BleedingHeartArtist 

The Division Bell is roughly a concept album about levels of comunication, so this is a tad more obvious if you go in knowing that. Eh...But I'll let you all figure it out yourselves.

holy crap. i do believe that is Mr Gilmour replying. I'm only about 20 years late to researching this album...and 10 years late to seeing his reply.

I'm pretty sure the album is simply about how important communication is in relationships. Even (and especially) his own relationships at home as he was transitioning out of one relationship...dealing with those feelings and...transitioning into another relationship.

I'm currently a 46 year old going through a separation with my wife of 23 years. This album speaks heavily to me.

Thank you, Mr. Gilmour.
