Romany + David Gilmour - "Between Two Points" (Right & Wrong Mix) - A Myleslandia Sound +Video Vision Mix by Myles Matisse!
"The song, "Between Two Points" has embraced the creative part of my mind and led me to create this epic and long "Right & Wrong Mix" editing a live video performance of the song (including behind the scenes) with the music video and mixing the studio with the live audio.
I watched David Gilmour's "Luck and Strange" Tour Rehearsal video for his upcoming tour. Opening song, "Between Two Points" was the first time I had heard David's daughter Romany's voice. Her delivery, the lyrics and music got me emotional. Her pitch and subtle vocal changes were captivating and fit the song like a glove. Seeing David playing and singing so well at this moment in his long career combined with seeing his daughter carrying the family musical torch so to speak wasn't lost on me.
I went and found the music video for "Between Two Points" Listening to the studio version, I realized Romany's vocals on the live rehearsal version were even better in how she phrased her delivery. Also, in the studio and live version, I thought the song ended too prematurely after David's solo. I wanted the song to go back to Romany and have her end the song with her voice, so motivation struck me and I created my "Myleslandia Sound + Vision Mix".
I blended the studio and live version as well as the music video, live rehearsal performance and lyric video. I took the black + and white and color footage and gave it all a sepia tone to give it a classic look. Then, I took the studio version, stripped it of Romany's voice and had the entire song open my "Right & Wrong Mix" because I wanted a long instrumental opening due to the song being so exquisite, romantic, melancholic and emotional. However, that said, I did include the following lyrics during the instrumental part of the mix.
Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong
The last line gave me the inspiration to name my mix the RIGHT & WRONG Mix. I isolated Romany's vocals and used the above 4 lines and the line "They're Right, You're Wrong" at times throughout, adding echo and reverb to the lines.
For the vocal part of the first half of the audio mix, I used the live version because it was even better than the studio version. I laid the music video and live performance visuals over the audio, editing it all to fit beautifully.
David's guitar solo from both the studio and live versions are in my mix along with the corresponding footage because it's David and his solos are always so beautiful. After the 2nd solo of my mix, I brought back in Romany to end that part of the mix, using the studio version along with the video.
Finishing off the mix, I added in the lyric video with the studio version of the song, isolating the solo at the end and adding in those 4 Romany lines to end the song. A perfect way to end the mix.
I hope you enjoy my 14 minute "Right & Wrong Mix" of "Between Two Points". From a Sound + Vision standpoint, it's one of the best mixes I've ever created. I just couldn't stop adding to the mix but finally got to a point where I felt the massive mix was complete and totally takes you on a full on journey into the song. David and his daughter Romany and the Gilmour legacy deserve it. Enjoy!" - Myles

BETWEEN TWO POINTS Lyrics:
Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me
Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since
Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong
Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
And when the sky begins to fall
The blame, all along in you is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
Just let them walk all over you (they're right, you're wrong)
Laugh through the punches and the pain (they're right, you're wrong)
Let the life-blood drain away from you (they're right, you're wrong)
They're right, you're wrong
