Cover-There's No Way Out Of Here. David Gilmour

[FreeEarCandy]

This is a cover of David Gilmour's song titled "There's No Way Out Of Here" from the 1978 album David Gilmour. David is the lead guitar and vocalist from the band Pink Floyd. This album is one of David's solo projects. More about the original song below...

This cover is a collaborative effort put together by FreeEarCandy & Homestudio Kurumin sometime around 2014, but was never fully completed and published for lack of ability to find a female vocalist to handle the backup chorus lines. Still absent of the chorus lines, I decided to go ahead and publish this work today.

Story behind the song"

David Gilmour is the debut solo studio album by Pink Floyd guitarist and co-lead vocalist David Gilmour, released on 26 May 1978. The album reached number 17 in the UK and number 29 on the Billboard US album charts; it was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA. The album was produced by Gilmour, and consists mostly of blues and guitar-oriented rock songs, except for the piano-dominated ballad "So Far Away". The tracks used for the album were recorded between February and March 1978 with engineer John Etchells at Super Bear Studios in France. They were then mixed at the same studio by Nick Griffiths. Session musicians included bass guitarist Rick Wills and drummer Willie Wilson, both of whom used to be part of Jokers Wild with Gilmour. The album was recorded at the same studio where Pink Floyd bandmate Richard Wright had recorded his first solo album Wet Dream just weeks before, though it would not be released until September 1978. The album's only single was "There's No Way Out of Here." The single flopped in Europe, but became popular on album-oriented rock radio stations in the US. The song was originally recorded by the band Unicorn (as "No Way Out of Here") for their 1976 album Too Many Crooks (Harvest Records, US title Unicorn 2), which Gilmour produced. It was also recorded later by New Jersey stoner rock band Monster Magnet on their Monolithic Baby! album,[citation needed] and by Iron & Wine on his 2015 covers album Sing Into My Mouth. One unused tune that was written and demoed at the time would later evolve, via collaboration with Roger Waters, into Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" from The Wall. However, a song included on this album, the piano ballad "So Far Away", uses a chorus progression not unlike the chorus to "Comfortably Numb", albeit in a different key. Likewise, the song "Short and Sweet" can be seen as a musical precursor to "Run Like Hell" (also from The Wall), with its shifting chords over a D pedal point, using a flanged guitar in Drop D tuning. "Short and Sweet" was written in collaboration with Roy Harper, who recorded a version, on which Gilmour played, for his 1980 album The Unknown Soldier...Wikipedia
