David Gilmour, along with Roger Waters, was the lead vocalist, and guitarist, for the progressive rock group Pink Floyd. Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1968, when he was asked to replace former frontman and guitarist Syd Barrett. Barrett was becoming increasingly difficult to work with (partly due to substance abuse), so Gilmour stepped in to fill the void. Gilmour's contributions helped to define what would become known as the "Pink Floyd" sound. With Roger Waters, Gilmour co-wrote many of Pink Floyd's classic songs, including "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Wish You Were Here", "Time", "Dogs", "Echoes", "Comfortably Numb", and "Run Like Hell".

Out of The Blue Lyrics
David Gilmour
Out of the blue on the wings of a dove
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
It's not a message of love
Our childern are born, and we keep them
They must have the right, to live in the light
To be safe from the storm
Out of the blue, with wings on his heels
A messenger comes, bearing regrets
For the time that he steals
But steal it he will, my children's and mine
Against our desires, against all our needs
Our blood spilled like wine
Over and over we call . . . no one hears
And further and further and further we fall
And though we pray that we soon will awake
It is clear, that it's no dream at all
Our lives are at stake
I cannot believe, nor even pretend
That the thunder I hear, will just disappear
And the nightmare will end
So hold back the fire, because this music is true
When all's said and done, the ending will come
From out of the blue
