Music history has just witnessed a miracle.
For the first time ever, David Gilmour, the legendary voice and guitarist of Pink Floyd, and his son Matthew Gilmour have come together in a newly discovered recording that feels like a message from beyond time itself. The duet, titled โYouโre Still Here,โ is being hailed as one of the most emotional and spiritually resonant works ever associated with Gilmourโs name โ a piece that speaks of love, memory, and legacy.
A Lost Song, Found Again

The story behind โYouโre Still Hereโ is as mysterious as it is magical. The song was recently uncovered in a collection of archived studio tapes from the late 1990s โ recordings long thought to have been lost or unfinished. Engineers working on a retrospective Gilmour project stumbled upon a reel marked โFatherโSon Session.โ What they heard when they pressed play was nothing short of breathtaking.
David Gilmourโs unmistakable, soulful voice โ tender yet commanding โ intertwines seamlessly with Matthewโs youthful, ethereal tone. The result is a hauntingly beautiful blend that feels almost otherworldly, as though father and son were singing across dimensions of time and emotion.
โWhen I first heard it again,โ David reportedly said, โI was struck by how much heart there was in that performance. It wasnโt just a recording โ it was a conversation, one I didnโt realize would mean so much years later.โ
The Sound of Connection
At its heart, โYouโre Still Hereโ is not simply a song. Itโs an exchange โ a dialogue between two generations, two souls, bound by blood and by sound.
โI see your shadow in the fading light,
I hear your laughter through the night,
Youโre still here โ not gone, just near,
A song that echoes year by year.โ
These words, sung with haunting simplicity, strike deep. The lyrics are neither mournful nor nostalgic; they are timeless. They speak of presence, of the unseen threads that connect families, of the ways love survives even as life moves forward.
The melody carries the unmistakable Gilmour fingerprint โ atmospheric guitar tones drenched in reverb, slow-building harmonies, and moments of silence that feel as profound as the notes themselves. Matthewโs voice, lighter and full of reverence, mirrors his fatherโs phrasing yet adds a freshness that symbolizes continuity.
A Legacy Beyond Pink Floyd

For David Gilmour, โYouโre Still Hereโ is more than a rediscovered track โ itโs a testament to his enduring legacy as both an artist and a father. Over five decades, he has given the world music that transcends genre and time: the soaring solos of Comfortably Numb, the longing in Wish You Were Here, the meditative power of High Hopes.
But in this duet, stripped of grandeur and production, Gilmourโs artistry takes on its most intimate form. โIโve always believed that music is emotion,โ he once said. โItโs about what you feel โ not what you play. This song is a reminder of that.โ
Matthew Gilmour, now an accomplished musician in his own right, expressed what the recording means to him: โThat session with my dad wasnโt meant to be anything big. It was just the two of us, talking through music. But hearing it now โ it feels like a bridge through time.โ
Fans Around the World React
Within hours of its announcement, โYouโre Still Hereโ dominated music discussions online. Longtime Pink Floyd fans described it as โa voice from heaven,โ while younger listeners called it โa masterclass in emotional storytelling.โ
โThis song broke me,โ one fan wrote on social media. โItโs not just about family โ itโs about the eternal echo of love.โ Another added, โHearing Davidโs voice beside Matthewโs is like hearing past and future sing in perfect harmony.โ
Music critics, too, have praised the trackโs emotional depth. Rolling Stone described it as โa reflection of Gilmourโs life and legacy โ stripped down, human, and achingly beautiful.โ Meanwhile, Mojo Magazine wrote, โYouโre Still Here feels less like a song and more like a whispered prayer from one generation to the next.โ
The Making of a Modern Classic
Restoring the recording to its full beauty required meticulous care. The original tapes, preserved in analog form, had to be digitally remastered while keeping the warmth and authenticity of Gilmourโs voice intact. Producers chose not to over-polish it โ instead allowing the natural imperfections, breaths, and pauses to shine through.
โThe beauty of this track lies in its fragility,โ said one of the engineers involved. โYou can hear the humanity in it โ the way Davidโs voice cracks slightly, or the way Matthew harmonizes just a beat late. Itโs real, itโs raw, and thatโs why it moves you.โ
A Song About Forever

While โYouโre Still Hereโ carries the intimacy of a private family moment, its message is universal. It speaks to anyone who has ever loved, lost, or longed to hold onto someone dear. Itโs a song about the invisible presence of those who shape us โ the parents, children, and friends whose spirits remain even when their voices fade.
In one of the songโs most poignant moments, Gilmour sings:
โYouโre still here โ in the stars, in the rain,
In the echoes that call your name.โ
Itโs the kind of line only David Gilmour could deliver โ understated yet infinite in meaning.
A Legacy That Lives On
As the song fades out, Gilmourโs guitar lingers โ a single note held against the silence, like a heartbeat that refuses to stop. For listeners, itโs impossible not to feel the weight of his journey: the boy who became a legend, the artist who became a father, and the man who continues to turn emotion into melody.
For David and Matthew Gilmour, โYouโre Still Hereโ is more than a rediscovered duet. Itโs a reunion, a reflection, and a reminder that while time passes, love โ like music โ never truly ends.
