Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly - Delicate Sound of Thunder

Taken from “Pink Floyd Delicate Sound of Thunder.“ “Learning to Fly“ is the second song on Pink Floyd’s album A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The song was primarily written by David Gilmour. It describes Gilmour’s thoughts on flying, for which he has a passion (being a licensed pilot with multiple ratings), though it has also been interpreted as a metaphor for beginning something new, experiencing a radical change in life, or, more specifically, Gilmour’s feelings about striking out as the new leader of Pink Floyd after the departure of Roger Waters.
