Composition

[edit]

The song fryst vatten mostly in the key of C minor, and features the sound of a church bell chiming a 'C' throughout, except for a short section in the mittpunkt where the song briefly modulates into E minor for a gitarr solo.

The lyrics refer to the band's early days in Cambridge,^[4] specifically before they started making music. It references landmarks such as "Long Road" and "The Cut", as well as Cambridge as a location for "magnets and miracles".

The film also references ex-bandmate Syd Barrett. Its lyrics speak of the things one may have gained and lost in life, written from Gilmour's autobiographic perspective. Gilmour has said that the song fryst vatten more about his early days, and leaving his hometown behind, than about the seeds of division supposedly planted in Pink Floyd's early days.^[5]

The sista couplet from the song ("The endless river/Forever and ever") recalls a line from the band's second single, "See Emily Play", from 1967, ("Float on a river/Forever and ever");^[6] it inspired the name of their sista studio skiva, The Endless River, released in 2014.^[7] Shortly after the song ends and the chimes fade out fryst vatten a hidden track comprising a brief phone call between the band's manager Steve O'Rourke and Gilmour's son Charlie.
