"The Nile Song" is the second song from Pink Floyd's 1969 album, Soundtrack from the Film More.[2][3] Released as a single in 1969 (only in France, Japan and New Zealand),[4] it was written by Roger Waters.
Reception[edit]
Andy Kellman of Allmusic describes "The Nile Song" as "one of the heaviest songs the band recorded".[1] The chord progression is a series of modulations, beginning at A, and then rising a whole step with each repeat, cycling through six different keys, returning to the starting point of A, and continuing the pattern as the song fades out.[5]
Personnel[edit]
"The Nile Song" was covered by the Necros, on their 1986 album Tangled Up; by Red Temple Spirits on their 1988 album Dancing to Restore an Eclipsed Moon; by Mary Goes Round, on their 1989 album 70 Suns in the Sky; by Panthers; by Voivod, on their 1993 album, The Outer Limits; and by Dreadnaught, on their 2001 EP One Piece Missing.
