About Face ‎(CD, Album). I'm sure Gilmour had Mark Knopfler's "Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero" on his mind when composing "Cruise". I think Floyd tended to sound like Dire Straits in the '80s even on The Final Cut with Roger Waters still leading the group . compare "Two Suns in the Sunset" with "Tunnel of Love".

David Gilmour released his second solo venture in 1984, following the apparent dissolution of Pink Floyd.

Let's Get Metaphysical (4:08) 10. Near The End (5:36). Produced by Bob Ezrin & David Gilmour. All songs written by David Gilmour except Love On The Air and All Lovers Are Deranged by David Gilmour and Pete Townshend. David Gilmour – Guitar, vocals. Jeff Porcaro – Drums, percussion.
