A Pillow of Winds

Pink Floyd All songs A–Z

A track from Pink Floyd's sixth studio album released in 1971, the song was originally titled "Dave's Guitar Thing" and was created by David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Recording took place across three different studios between March and July 1971. The composition features slow, psychedelic, acoustic, and pastoral elements characteristic of a love ballad. The song's title was inspired by the Chinese tile game mahjong, which Waters, Mason, and their spouses enjoyed playing.
