You take any individual part...say, Stone's guitar on DTE...and you can hear the intricacies of the tone, the occasional slips away from the beat, and the way the same riff played three different times will still vary slightly in volume, delivery, and even feel.
On the last two albums, each individual part has been heavily, heavily controlled, to the point of almost total mathematical precision. The humanity and space get traded in for perfection and casual listener engagement.

Weird hearing ed singing an Irish melody.
It does sound somewhat Celtic, doesn't it? Anything in particular?

I'm not sure if its something specific or just the general air of it but there is something weirdly familiar about his vocal.
A lot of the older songs and laments used airs from other songs or were slightly varied depending on location.
Here far away
One could feel the earth vibrate
Moon changing shape and shade
as we all do under its gaze
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise
Round we go, where we stop no one knows So tonight the moon i go...
Yellow moon on the rise
An echo that rings a bullet unchained
one life, one grave joins the parade
At night the sky grows dark with fallen stars
who comes so far a headstone and grave
the colors turns grey
the black and white fades
I feel like this is very different from "Low Light", tonally. The similarities are in the arrangements. "Low Light" is miles above in, IMO. But I dig this.

I wondered if it had any cultural or mythological significance for someone. Maybe not
It would be nice to find out. I didn't find anything on Google.

If I was to search for Floyd moments on this album other than Sirens, I'd say there are hints of "Shine On..." in this song.
