KEEP
TALKING
Comment:
The song features the eminent physicist Professor Stephen Hawking of Cambridge
University, speaking at the beginning. In 1993, Hawking lent his voice to
television messages for British Telecom. David Gilmour was moved by this
message, which coincided so well with the thoughts he wanted to express
on The Division Bell album. He obtained permission to use the voice track
and altered it a bit to fit it to some music they already had, which became
this song. Comment:
The page number 19 is given in French, dix-neuf. The artwork by Ian Wright
shows a monkey's face made up of smaller monkeys, in front of one stone
head and one steel head designed by sculptor Keith Breeden for Storm Thorgerson.
