The Blink of an Eye

This song had been lurking around for donkeys years and I always liked it, but I felt that it never quite reached its full potential. It was only when I let my then 8 year old boy play guitar on it that it sprung into life. I had to come up with a super-simplified guitar part for him to play and as he was is a Pink Floyd fan, I got him to play a one string part like Gilmour plays on the intro of ‘Time’. All of a sudden, the song sprung into life and that guitar part that little Elliot recorded is still on there and takes centre stage.
What a lucky accident!
