Composition

Despite relatively recent remarks by bassist Roger Waters and guitarist David Gilmour, that the song had been composed primarily in 7/8 time,[3] it was actually composed in 7/4,[4] as Gilmour previously acknowledged in an interview with Guitar World magazine in 1993.[5][6] Most rock music is written in 4/4, or common time, and most of the exceptions are in 3/4 or a similar triple meter, such as 6/8 or 12/8. The typical rock backbeat on two and four is instead on two, four and six, leaving two beats in a row without an accented beat from the snare drum.
The song is also notable for its dramatic change to 4/4 time for an extended guitar solo. The first of three choruses which compose his solo was recorded using real-time double-tracking. That is, Gilmour played the chorus nearly identically in two passes recorded to two different tracks of a multi-track tape machine. The doubled effect for the third chorus was created using automatic (or "artificial") double-tracking (ADT).[3]
The form and chord progression are based on the standard twelve-bar blues in the key of B minor. Two twelve-bar verses are followed by an eighteen bar instrumental section that features a funk-style tenor saxophone solo along with keyboard, bass, and drums and a further two bar intro in 4/4 leading to the guitar solo.
