"Today" follows the title track as the second song that has been released from the record, which Gilmour worked on with co-producer Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music.

"'Today' was one of the ones that Phil put together from two or three pieces of music of mine that I had sort of ignored," explains Gilmour. "He's very good at finding them and saying, 'that's great, you should it � and how about using it with that piece and that piece.' So he mocked that one up. It's a gift."
