YES, I HAVE GHOSTS<\/strong>\u201d is the first new song from David Gilmour in five years and features the voice and harp playing of his daughter Romany.\u00a0The inspiration for the track was Polly Samson\u2019s new novel \u2018A Theatre for Dreamers\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of \u2018Yes, I Have Ghosts\u2019 Gilmour says \u201cI was working on this song just as we went into lockdown and had to cancel a session with backing singers but, as it turned out, the solution was right here and I couldn\u2019t be happier with the way Romany\u2019s voice blends with mine and her beautiful harp playing has been another revelation.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

The song has previously only been available as part of the ground-breaking audiobook for the novel. Polly Samson, who wrote the lyrics: \u201cCollaborating with David – as I have done many times over the last 30 years, writing songs for both Pink Floyd and his solo albums – we were able to bring together the worlds of literature and music to enhance the listening experience and connect with audiences in a way which I don\u2019t think has been done before\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Set on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in 1960, ‘A Theatre for Dreamers’<\/strong> captures the hazy, sun-drenched days of an expat bohemian community of poets, painters, and musicians, including a twenty-five year old Leonard Cohen.<\/p>\n

Before the Covid 19 lockdown David, Polly and family were about to take \u2018A Theatre For Dreamers\u2019<\/strong> on the road for a short series of shows blending words and music. Sadly these dates have had to be postponed until June 2021 but the \u2018Von Trapped Family\u2019 as they dubbed themselves, took to Facebook to live stream-adapted versions of the shows.<\/p>\n

Viewers found themselves transported to the Greek island of Hydra in 1960, with readings from the book, poetry, Q&A sessions and music from and inspired by the novel, including instrumental sections of \u2018Yes, I Have Ghosts\u2019 and songs by Leonard Cohen.<\/p>\n

The Sunday Times (UK) bestseller \u2018A Theatre For Dreamers\u2019<\/strong> by Polly Samson is out now and published by Bloomsbury.<\/p>\n
