Part VI (Wright, Waters, Gilmour; from :00 — 4:55) begins with a howling wind from the preceding song “Wish You Were Here”. As the wind fades away, David Gilmour comes in on the bass guitar. Roger Waters adds another bass guitar with a continuing riff pattern. Then Rick Wright comes in playing an ARP String Ensemble Synthesizer and after a few measures, several rhythm guitar parts (Gilmour played the power chord rhythm part using his black Fender Stratocaster before switching to lap steel guitar for the solo in live performances in 1974 to 1977. Snowy White did the rhythm guitar parts on this track on the band’s 1977 “In the Flesh” tour) and drums come in, a Mini-Moog Synthesizer comes in to play the opening solo. At the two minute mark, Wright’s Mini-Moog and Gilmour’s lap steel guitar play notes in unison before Gilmour does a lap steel guitar solo (the lap steel had open E minor tuning) with some counterpointing from Wright’s synthesizers. It lasts for about 3 minutes (4 minutes when played on the band’s “In the Flesh” tour) and Gilmour in each section played an octave higher than the previous. The highest note he hit on the lap steel/slide solo was a B flat almost three octaves above middle C (one show in Cleveland on the tour he hit a G that was three octaves above middle C) followed by a reprise of the guitar solo from part IV (which was played by Snowy White in live performances on Pink Floyd’s 1977 tour so David Gilmour could switch from lap steel guitar back to his Fender Stratocaster). The song then switches from 12/8 back to the 6/4 time signature found in parts II-V, giving the appearance of a slowed tempo and the vocals return.

Part VII (Waters, Gilmour, Wright; from 4:56 – 5:59) contains the vocal sections, almost identical to part IV (though half the length) before beginning the segue into part VIII.

lyrics written by Roger Waters in tribute to Syd Barrett.

Lyrics:-

Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far.
Shine on you crazy Diamond.
Pile on many more layers
And I’ll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we’ll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday’s triumph,
And sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child,
You winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Duration : 0:6:1
