The story behind the song

"Take It Back" explores the idea of a dysfunctional relationship, but uses it as an allegory for humanity's treatment of the planet. The lyrics, penned by David Gilmour, Polly Samson, and Nick Laird-Clowes, weave this theme throughout the song. An interesting detail in the instrumental section is the barely audible nursery rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses." This song, from Pink Floyd's 1994 album The Division Bell, offers a reflective look at our impact on the world around us. Playing it can feel like a somber reflection on responsibility and consequence.
