A Live Performance of:
David Gilmour singing Sonnet 18 written in 1609 by William Shakespeare.
Arranged by Michael Kamen and recorded on the Astoria. Michael Kamen passed away in 2003.

Lyrics:
Shall i compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

@Clintouminou17 I think it's a wonderful glimpse of David's sensitive side. It's one of my favorites.

@Mollyfender1996 Please do not! Bieber songs remain shitty music, even if Gilmour was trying to gild him!

[raidereddie]

Is that some kind of vocal mixer he has on the stand in front of him? I notice it's present in most of his Astoria sessions.

[Iksarra]

What an amazing voice..!
