about

This track is based on "Echoes".

"The Return of the Son of Nothing" is nauseatingly violent and gripping; it is experimental, ambitious and deeply disturbing. There are echoes of the darkly claustrophobic horror of the early novels of Mrs. X or the even more disturbing short stories of Mr. Y and the tortured imagination of Ms. Z. The song is set in the bleak and frozen wastes of a post-apocalyptic future. Humanity has been devastated by the Great Swollen Grubbiness, a devastating plague that has destroyed the Earth's population. The few survivors are scattered across the globe in small communities of singers.

The song is the story of a young man, W, a member of the last surviving tribe, who joins a band of traveling player-actors. The troupe is led by a blind man, who plays the electric fiddle. His name is David Gilmour, and he is old, wise and very powerful. The only surviving copy of the world's only song, "The Return of the Son of Nothing", is kept in his possession. This is the song that is passed down to each generation at the time of the Great Swollen Grubbiness. Gilmour is a prophet, a shaman and a storyteller. He is also a psychoanalyst, who is driven by a lust for possessing many minds, and his actions bring about the violent collapse of the tribe.
