The story behind the song

"Crumbling Land" is an up-tempo, country-styled song from the soundtrack album of the film Zabriskie Point. The band themselves described it as a country & western number, noting the director's unusual choice in having them, rather than an American band, create it. It features vocals from David Gilmour and Richard Wright, and its music is similar to their instrumental "Unknown Song/Rain in the Country." The song evokes a sense of journey, perhaps reflecting a landscape in flux.
